It has NEVER occurred to me to get a dog for protection! Never did. I realize only privileged people can afford animals like high-maintenance dogs, but, honestly, how come I never thought about that.

Like hear me out, Marsha P. Johnson was murdered (a friend who personally knew her and Sylvia Rivera stated this as truth) , what if….instead of a gang jumping her alone, she had like a big ass dog that can fuck some people up?

Like, people fuck with trans people because they think we weak and shit, what if we arm ourselves with whatever the most force is legal in our cities/states AND own a badass dog?

I get that it is an investment, but can you imagine having security guard everywhere you go?

I’m allergic to dogs, and I think this is a great idea!

I am a genius! I’m gonna get a dog!!!

….right as soon as I can afford one with every implication afforded.
