A commentator says that after a decade covering anti-trans and queer issues she still refuses to become numb to the violence, joking that her doctor calls her distress either a moral achievement or a cardiovascular risk. Her remark, framed around reporting where 'the punchline was dead queers', is being shared widely among LGBTQ rights advocates.
Why now: Renewed concern over anti-trans violence and political rhetoric keeps LGBTQ rights voices urging people not to grow indifferent.
