Twox foid is about to be played

I met an older guy through a running group (for context he’s gay from a small town and now in Austin and I am a lesbian) and we were chatting about all the bullshit that is going on in Texas right now and he listened but didn’t volunteer too much of his opinion except to sort of vaguely agree. We had a big group of queer women and the conversation went from the attacks on our trans brothers, sisters, and thothers, to the attacks on our bodily autonomy as people who are able to get pregnant.

>thothers

lmao

I genuinely didn’t think about that conversation again except that he was a fun guy to hang out with so we exchanged numbers and made those after beers promises to hang out again. A week or so later he sends me a message asking if I want to go to a 5K supporting trans rights(of course I do) so we met up this morning for that. After the run, we went for brunch and he told me he has had that conversation in his heart since we met and he had spent the last 3 or 4 weeks unpacking his internal prejudices against trans folks and has stopped thinking about access to reproductive healthcare is an issue for women. He said he felt like his eyes have been opened and he has gone from a small “c” conservative to wanting to smash the fricking patriarchy. Just a reminder that these little conversations with people along the way are what pushes the arc of justice forward.

i think he's trying to frick her
