It is a little disappointing to me that trans men and trans masculine people have not really been part of this media movement that we're experiencing right now.

This western civilization is a superior civilization, and we want to share it with everybody.

Carmelo AnthonyWe should not care much whether those thus united (against slavery) were designated 'Whig,' 'Free Democrat' or something else; though we think some simple name like 'Republican' would more fitly designate those who had united to restore the Union to its true mission of champion and promulgator of Liberty rather than propagandist of slavery.
