Do y’all remember Eric Fehrnstrom? Well it turns out that Mr. Etch-a-Sketch isn’t just all bark and no bite when it comes to hating queer people.

Apparently Fehrnstrom was full of “glee” after finding the birth certificate of Althea Garrison shortly after she was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, effiectivally ending her political career.

Now I could go into how ridiculous it is that being transgender is regarded as such a bad thing that I could basically ruin this woman’s career (it’s something happens all the time to trans people, not just those of us in politics btdubs), but that isn’t the point here. The point here is how low this bigoted asshole would stoop to do this. The fact that he is one of Romney’s “most trusted” advisers would be enough for me to never even consider voting for him, even if I agreed with him on literally anything. You add this on top of Romney’s protest of an anti-discrimination aid for Massachusetts public schools because it contained the word “transgender”, and you have one gigantic transphobic mess.

But, yeah, it’s completely wise to let this bigot run the country.

I know we are still getting political here. We’re trying not to be biased here, and we are not advocating FOR any candidate, but we feel it is important for you to know what’s going on behind the scenes regarding trans* issues.

This is a quick but EXTREMELY IMPORTANT read. Please, share this article with anyone who cares about you, and with all of your trans*, gender-non-conforming, and cis-gender friends and family. People need to know that this election will have extremely negative consequences for trans* and gender-non-conforming Americans, not to mention female-bodied Americans, queer-spectrum-identified Americans, students, low-income Americans, uninsured Americans, unemployed Americans, etc. etc. etc.

January 18th a regulation was passed that;

5.2 (1) An air carrier shall not transport a passenger
if

(c) the passenger does not appear to be of the gender
indicated on the identification he or she presents; (source)

So far no trans* people have been segregated and disallowed to board any…

super important stuff, y’all! just wanted to spread the word.
