So many things about right wing ideology that seemed inexplicable to me become understandable as the #EpsteinFiles get released.

15 years ago, no one cared about #trans people. They were free to lead their boring lives. Then kind of all at once, demagogues around the world became actively anti-trans, spouting rhetoric and pushing legislation. "Why now?" I wondered then and to this day.

Because Jeffrey Epstein was anti-trans. He asked his friends to take up the mantle and of course they did. The wave of anti-trans sentiment we suffer through today is because people wanted to suck up to a rich pedophile. No deeper conviction than that, no coherent philosophy. Epstein said so and thus it was.

He is no longer around to ask but I can only assume his motivation was because while sexually abusing teenaged girls Epstein did not want to be surprised by a penis. This whole moral panic is because of the sexual abuse preferences of one billionaire influencer. Good job, everyone, carrying the torch of a pedophile.

As part of my agender journey, I had changed my pronouns to they/them. That transition has been quite easy.

What has been difficult is finding the word to use for what we are to someone close. In my case, my ex-husband continues to call me my kitty's daddy, which used to be accurate when I identified with a male gender. But now, I can't figure out what to replace that with.

Any suggestions on how you handled this would be great.

In addition to trafficking and raping countless girls and women, Jeffrey Epstein was a pillar of the anti-trans movement. So many of the science influencers spreading bigotry got major help from Epstein.

"But far less attention is paid to the growing number of cisgender women now being targeted simply for failing to conform to a narrow, outdated standard of femininity."
