Pittsburgh, a city that prides itself on having some of the strongest transrights protections, seems to have been lying right to our faces. You can declare the Steel City to be a "Trans haven" as much as you want, but that does not answer for the glaring dialectic right in front of our eyes. While one may not hear antitrans rhetoric from no one other than the schizophrenics putting up posters that "jews are kidnapping our eastern european Page 2 children" , people who worship today's political equivalent of a golden calf, and pickup truck owners, its spirit manifests in the halls of the Steel City's government. Its effects are some of the most vile things any individual can experience – and Pittsburgh is a safe haven? The charlatans high up on their rams, mustangs, and other beasts look down on us, some of the most vulnerable people in the country, and they say they deserve our respect? If Pittsburgh is so great on trans issues, why does the 54 bus never fucking arrive.
