Trans man rescues baby from river in winter.

[applegrove]

If a trans person were caught jaywalking Republicans would be ranting about it every chance they got, meanwhile a trans person JUMPED INTO LAKE MICHIGAN IN THE WINTER AND RESCUED A STRANGER’S BABY and it’s crickets.

5. Regardless of...

Their sexuality or gender, they did something heroic, they saved a baby from icy waters, they deserve to be recognized for it. I don't think that topic was on anyone's mind at the time of the incident.

Mean people suck.

6. His pronouns are he/him/his.

Please do not mispronoun trans people.

8. I'm in favor of using neutral gender pronouns everywhere. We're all a bit of everything.

Me.
