As a cis-het white guy, I did a lot more boosting than posting for #TDOV. I do feel inspired to share a story today that I hope will provide encouragement to my #LGBTQIA friends to preserve & my cis-het to step up and take some of the heat off of them.

Just to be clear out of the gate #TransRights are #HumanRights

I've made reference to the time that a trans man saved my life when a smile, but for several reasons I haven't gone into the story. I think it's time.

It's time that I tell the completely true story of how a trans man saved my life with a smile. Besides being an uplifting story, it may help to illustrate why an average Southern cis-het white guy is vehemently antifascist and pro-trans rights. The desire to fight fascism has increased since having amazing daughters of mixed-ethnicities, but the fire was stoked several years before that.
