		<description><![CDATA[So far as this writer is concerned, Thomas was a target from the start. She is a woman, and one of many firsts, in a male dominated industry and society. She is a liberal intellectual in a nation that is increasingly turning to corporate fascism. But, most of all, she questions authority, and has done so for over half a century.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine sent me this video, which is, to say the least, hilarious!  It's somewhat in keeping with the current ongoing discussion on transphobia, so there's considerable truth behind the humor (as is the case with much good humor).  Calpernia Addams doesn't hold back, lol.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Transgender persons are now 17 times more likely to be murdered than the national average, much higher than any demographic group.  The murders are also more likely than not to be solved (a suspect is arrested, tried, and convicted of some crime for the death).  Murder remains one of the leading causes of death for transgender persons in the United States (according to experts and available government statistics, Mortality and Morbidity reports, etc).]]></description>

"I have a long road ahead of me before I physically recover from this attack, but mentally I will never be the same again," Harmon stated. "My life and the life for my family changed forever on New Year's Eve."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More than a few writers and commentators have suggested that Baxter is not a “real lesbian,” but is instead a lesbian-identified bisexual. Now, normally, I'm not a huge fan of labels, but this particular one, especially in the context it is used in, not only denies Baxter's self-identification and expression of herself as a lesbian, but negates her entire past, not to mention her journey of self-exploration to find her true self and the happiness she sought.]]></description>

We need a President willing to do what is right and just, regardless of politics, like Johnson.  We need a tough Commander in Chief to end a senseless policy that harms national security, like Truman.  We need a leader willing to take bold action for the good of ALL Americans, like FDR.  We need a President who actually believes it is his or her job to uphold ALL of the Bill of Rights (especially Amendment XIV, Section 1), not just the parts he or she agrees with.]]></description>
