Uncomfortably Numb

Following yesterday’s ill-fated election, I wasn’t going to write anything at all today but decided not to be a coward.

Needless to say, I did not think the election would be as bad and disappointing as it was. It was a generational defeat for transgender women and men everywhere.

Essentially, I will take the day off to mourn and try to figure out what it all means to me. One second I am scared and the second I am defiant. Plus I have my own health to think of, since I have a hematology appointment coming up next week.

In the meantime, I will stay uncomfortably numb to twist an old Pink Floyd tune and be back tomorrow.
