So, we basically have a pile of circumstantial evidence that Kate Middleton was stalking William and maneuvering herself to become his wife, that her parents were encouraging, if not urging her and grooming her for this. Right before she married William, the Queen had to tell her to get a job and it was only after that happened that she started her charity work. But Meghan, who already had her own money, fame, and agency is been labeled a manipulative gold-digger since she became engaged to Harry. I read an article once where the press were attacking her wearing nail polish, but Kate can go to the market in jeans and t-shirt and they praise her “normal mom look”.

Please don’t tell me this isn’t about race.

Once a little boy went to school. One morning The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. He liked to make all kinds; Lions and tigers, Chickens and cows, Trains and boats; And he took out his box of crayons And began to draw.

But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make flowers.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make beautiful ones With his pink and orange and blue crayons. But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And it was red, with a green stem. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”

The little boy looked at his teacher’s flower Then he looked at his own flower. He liked his flower better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just turned his paper over, And made a flower like the teacher’s. It was red, with a green stem.

On another day The teacher said: “Today we are going to make something with clay.” “Good!” thought the little boy; He liked clay. He could make all kinds of things with clay: Snakes and snowmen, Elephants and mice, Cars and trucks And he began to pull and pinch His ball of clay.

But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make a dish.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make dishes. And he began to make some That were all shapes and sizes.

But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And she showed everyone how to make One deep dish. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”

The little boy looked at the teacher’s dish; Then he looked at his own. He liked his better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just rolled his clay into a big ball again And made a dish like the teacher’s. It was a deep dish.

And pretty soon The little boy learned to wait, And to watch And to make things just like the teacher. And pretty soon He didn’t make things of his own anymore.

Then it happened That the little boy and his family Moved to another house, In another city, And the little boy Had to go to another school.

The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. And he waited for the teacher To tell what to do. But the teacher didn’t say anything. She just walked around the room.

When she came to the little boy She asked, “Don’t you want to make a picture?” “Yes,” said the little boy. “What are we going to make?” “I don’t know until you make it,” said the teacher. “How shall I make it?” asked the little boy. “Why, anyway you like,” said the teacher. “And any color?” asked the little boy. “Any color,” said the teacher. And he began to make a red flower with a green stem.

Vaporized

June 26, 2015, same sex marriage was legalized in the US (Same-Sex Marriage Fast Facts). August 8, 2016, transgender people in Pennsylvania could get their birth certificates changed to their gender (Pennsylvania Birth Certificate Laws). Many people think that the recognition of LGBTQ rights is done because of those laws. Many believe that the fight is over. But despite the law allowing LGBTQ people to exist now there is more that needs to be done.

For example, the trans military ban recently enacted by the Trump administration prohibits transgender troops from serving openly in the United States military. President Trump brusquely claims it’s not discriminatory because as long as transgender troops serve under their assigned gender at birth and do not undergo HRT (hormone replacement therapy) they can serve. But this has effectively blocked transgender people from serving. President Trump has a propensity to be transphobic in fact. The Trump administration has stated that some of the reasoning behind the ban was that transgender troops "erod[e] military readiness and unit cohesion.” They’ve also stated how the costs of providing transgender troops with medical care was expensive. In addition, President Trump has stated that one of the primary reasons he felt the need to enact this ban was drug use, claiming that military members cannot even so much as take aspirin because it is against military regulations; which is blatantly false. Military personnel take prescription drugs if their doctors find them to be needed (Holmes Lybrand). Secondly, “[t]ransgender troops have been serving openly and successfully since 2016, including hundreds who have deployed to combat zones. The Chiefs of Staff to each military branch have testified that there has been no negative impact on readiness. Additionally, data obtained by the Pentagon has shown that the cost of providing medical care to transgender troops has been minuscule,” (Transgender Military Service). Super similar to how Muslims were seen as less in Annawadi transgender people are seen as less of people in the people’s eyes in the book Behind the Beautiful Forevers (Boo). All of the transphobia in this current presidential administration has allowed transphobia to permeate in America, especially against trans women of color.

“2019 has already seen at least 22 transgender or gender non-conforming people fatally shot or killed by other violent means,” the Human Rights Campaign reported (Violence Against the Transgender Community in 2019). In fact there may have been more that have been killed but weren’t reported. The bodies of these victims are sometimes misgendered, and sometimes the families refuse to use the correct pronouns when talking to police (Harmeet Kaur). In a sense these people are vaporized like from 1984 (Orwell). Not talked about, made to disappear with a sense of taboo surrounding their stories. This problem stems across the whole community (LGBTQ) even (but transgender people are the most affected). “In Detroit in June, an 18-year-old man was charged with first-degree murder for the targeted killings of a transgender woman, Paris Cameron, and two gay men,” the New York Times reports (Rick Rojas and Vanessa Swales). There is also the gay or trans panic defense. “When a perpetrator uses an LGBTQ+ panic defense, they are claiming that a victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity not only explains—but excuses—a loss of self-control and the subsequent assault,” the LGBT Bar reports (LGBTQ+ Panic Defense). This means instead of being charged for murder or assault the defendant could be aquitted. An excuse for murder. Similar to how in The Lord of The Flies Jack used the excuse that they killed Simon accidentally in the haze of the boar chase.

Even more concerning is the fact that conversion therapy for minors, the practice of trying to change one’s sexuality and/or gender identity, is still legal in many states including Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania State Profile). The AMA (American Medical Association) condemns the practice of Conversion Therapy (LGBTQ “conversion therapy”). Like how in Camp 14, Shin Dong-hyuk was brainwashed to report his family trying to escape (Blaine Harden). It’s a very heinous practice that hurts the person receiving it.

In conclusion, the laws in place for LGBTQ+ people today in America are not enough. America needs to work on the current laws because LGBT people are suffering. It might be better than before but that does not excuse the fact that people are dying, and suffering. The laws that do exist are vastly nominal. Our congress and government needs to improve the conditions for LGBT people and commiserate with them as their rights are being infringed on. Their jaded reasoning for not creating protective laws will not work anymore.
