I wrote a post back in 2009 rhetorically asking if the world could (or would) stop hatin' on transwomen during that holiday season and two years later did the same. Such a deceptively simple request to ask to be treated with dignity and respect for at least a month, but so rarely happens.
Well, I'm going to go sit on Santa's lap and ask for that Christmas wish to be granted.
For the 2013 holiday season, I would like for not one transperson to be killed or injured.
For the 2013 holiday season I'd like to not have to read hate speech or misgendering comments about us coming from friends, frenemies and foes
For the 2013 holiday season I'd like to not see a positive story about us on the Net have a comment thread attached to it with an avalanche of hateful, ignorant and transphobic comments.
For the 2013 holiday season, can we transwomen simply be able to live our daily lives without drama?
TransGriot Update: Did this song rewrite in 2011 that goes perfectly with this post entitled 'Stop Hatin' Us On Christmas Day'.
