I can't even think about what is happening today. President Obama's farewell letter was in my inbox this morning and reading it made me cry. How can we be going from one of the best presidents ever, to one who gives every indication of being the worst president ever?
I have never felt as close to a president as I feel to President Obama. I've never written a President before, but I sent him a message a couple of weeks ago thanking him for being the first President to be inclusive of transgender people. Every time he included Transgender when he was speaking, I felt validated. That he recognized us as part of the United States.
I've been feeling frightened and depressed this morning. I was thinking about this song and the lyrics:
I'm 'bout ready for Camarillo
My head is goin' fast
I'm like a ship out on the raging sea
That's losing it's mainmast
All these years I have wondered what Camarillo was, so I just looked it up on Wikipedia and I'm guessing it refers to Camarillo State Mental Hospital, that makes sense.

Last night Stephen Colbert also talked about President Obama pardoning Chelsea Manning who happens to be transgender.
