Buying a Swimsuit as a Political Act!

This turned out to be too funny, and sad at the same time. The threats by the Republican Bigots on Target for featuring Pride-themed items, as they have done for many years without so much attention, made me curious to see what they had come up with… And I ended up buying that controversial swimsuit, along with a very comfortable gaff. Now as I went back to Target’s web site, it seems they have withdrawn it…

Which is too bad… Receiving it and trying it on gave me a moment of Trans Joy! For the first time in my long life I was comfortable in a swimsuit!!! Highly recommended now, I wonder if they’ll reappear wherever they can send them without getting the bigots’ attention (let me guess it won’t be a church-affiliated thrift shop)!

Seriously, however, the current assault by the Republican Party on trans and LGBTQ+ people is so despicable and indeed we have reached the point in which they have motivated wannabee terrorists to threaten the people at Target. They have already motivated shooters, and they act as if nothing happened. I don’t see how anyone could be a member of that party, as they have gone well beyond civil political tactics.
