7:43 Question of the Week
" Like many transpeople I am the subject of prejudice from the general public from time to time. I have worked hard in my life to overcome the prejudices that I had about various groups of people, but I find it very difficult to overcome my prejudice against people who are prejudiced. Is it all right to be prejudiced against bigots? "
(from: Sonia)
