Thank you to Paris for hosting me during the World Cup nearly 30 years ago. Glad Seattle could finally return the favor of hosting the party.

I was in Paris when they won the World Cup, and this feels just like that. The whole city was vibrating with joy.

In all seriousness, this is why transnness always made sense to me. I'm cis and wearing anything even slightly masculine makes my skin crawl. I cannot imagine the horror of being trans and having anyone try to make me dress against my gender. Happy Pride!

Can confirm this reality. Exhibit A: a text exchange on the way to our high school reunion:
Grown ass man texts: I don't know what to wear. I'm a mess. I'm not coming. 

Me, who also did not want to come, but already put a bra on, replies, "I'm pulling up in 5. You have to come...Jeans and tee shirt. It's Seattle."

What in Trump's America?? I just drove by a gas station holding an Easter Egg hunt. Gas is $5.39, but kids can huff fumes for free while picking up candy off the concrete!
