From ‘No Hate’ to ‘Celebrate’: It’s Time to Change How We Fight for Trans Rights

Editor's note: This column was originally published in Common Dreams. “I don’t want boys competing with my daughter.” “There are biological differences.” These were responses I got while canvassing in Spokane, Washington for the “No Hate in WA State” campaign against two anti-LGBTQ and anti-trans ballot initiatives, I-001 and I-638.

Keep your eye on the water this month. King tides and Kelvin waves are coming

In The Grateful Dead’s first Billboard Hot 100 single, “Uncle John’s Band,” Jerry Garcia famously sings, “Got some things to talk about, here beside the rising tide.” Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’re no strangers to rising waters in the winter, with our king tides usually arriving in November and lasting through February. This year, there’s a bit more to talk about, though. King tides arrive this year on Nov. 23 and will stick around until Nov. 27. They reappear again on Dec. 22. NOAA is forecasting high tides up to 13 feet in the Puget Sound during November’s king tides. In addition to marking the arrival of Washington’s king tides, November is also our stormiest month.
