'If you say that you're afraid of Trump and that's why you don't want the city to be a safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.'
“If you say that you’re afraid of Trump and that’s why you don’t want the city to be a safe space for trans people, you better prepare for trans people to make this a very unsafe space.”The city of Worcester, Massachusetts , has voted to become a ‘sanctuary city’ for transgender people after a recent city council meeting. While this is hardly surprising, it is absolutely unnecessary.
One speaker, donning a purple wig, pearl necklace and white gloves, said she needs the city to protect her because the federal government will not, and she is “afraid of Trump.” “I’m shaking right now. I don’t want to be here,” another speaker shouted into the microphone before being asked to wrap up.Here’s a highlight reel of comments from the meeting. Enjoy.
