Far too many cis people have opinions on "the trans issue" BECAUSE they don't know any trans people. Trans people are just people. Trans kids are just kids. They're being abandoned and some of them will lose their lives as a result. Please share the linked news article. Thanks.

Satellite images analysed by Al Jazeera's digital investigation team, Sanad show that more than half (60 percent) of Gaza's farmland, crucial for feeding the war-ravaged territory’s hungry population, has been damaged or destroyed by Israeli attacks. A genocidal campaign in clear view.
