"Whether you use a certain set of rights every day, or have no clue why anybody would want to use them, the idea that the government can come in and come for your rights is itself an assault on all of our rights."

"And so, I also have certain rights that I use that most people in this room don't use. I put my face on the ground 34 times a day. I value being able to walk into places and do that. I don't need people to understand why. I just need them to agree that the government can't tell me not to. Similarly, when it comes to trans rights, I don't need people to understand why. I need people to make sure that the government can't come in and tell people not to." 4/n #USPol #TransRights #HumanRights
