I’ve been reading Parker Malloy so long that I’m pretty sure I was reading her before she began her transition. Certainly I remember her as someone who felt “early” to being very upfront about her identity online as someone who is transgender. I hate that we now live in a world where her visibility, which I’m certain saved lives, feels like a trap.
Parker (and Erin Reed and so many others) deserves a better world than the one she’s stuck living in.
Shame on all of us for failing to love and care for the vulnerable and accept people who aren’t us.
