Calling Out Transphobia in Our Community

Over the weekend, one of the owners of At Sara's Table / Chester Creek Cafe, Barbara Neubert, shared a transphobic meme and at least one other meme in support of JK Rowling on her personal Facebook page. This might sound like an issue of free speech, but it's not, it's hate speech. Its purpose is to dehumanize us. That it was platformed by a respected elder in the local progressive and LGBTQ communities is even more concerning. Many politicians who have pushed for draconian transphobic laws have used JK Rowling's own tweets as a justification to punish us, and keep us closeted.

Superior Police Tase a Door Dash Driver After He Took a Wrong Turn

Ian Cuypers is a door dash driver who was delivering food in Superior in February.  He was unfamiliar with the neighborhood, and while looking for an address he accidently took a wrong turn down a one way street.  This led to Superior Police pulling him over.  Multiple cops appeared on the scene.  With weapons drawn and pointed at him, Ian was instructed to get out of the car with his hands up, to face away from the officers, and walk backwards towards them.  When he attempted to explain himself, he was tased. This is an outrageous incident of unnecessary force.  Video footage has been posted online.  Here is the link for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX_zKmiH3-E
