Obviously, we're really upset about the state of the election. It's horrifying, as everybody knows, that we could have a totally fascist president.

The more people, as you know, are able to be on whatever spectrum of femininity and masculinity they are on at that moment, that opens the door for women to not have to be the opposite of what the supposed traditional male is.
