You know what I appreciate so much @CoryBooker and how he spoke during the #ConfirmationHearing ? Is how he not only held space for her, to allow her a chance to breathe, but he reminded us that we get to keep our joy. Black women, let’s keep our fucking joy.

What is truly fascinating about cisgender women who are also transphobic is that the very people they have disdain for are the very people they’re obsessed with. To the point that they minimize themselves solely to the use of reproduction as a way to cling to their womanhood.
