Transgender, queer, and allied activists have unfurled a 55-by-35-foot Trans Pride flag on El Capitan, a vertical rock formation in California’s Yosemite National Park.

The flag display is part of a project called Trans Is Natural, and the flag is the largest one ever hung on El Capitan, one of the world’s most popular wall-climbing sites. The display is “a celebration of trans belonging in nature, in community, and everywhere,” says a press release from the organizers, and counters the Donald Trump administration’s efforts to erase trans people from government websites, education systems, and libraries and its discrimination against queer and trans rangers in the National Park Service.

Fish are trans? I eat Trans sushi?

I was about to post "Never before I have wish someone to be a victim of a bear attack" but then I remembered bears can smell HIV.

Unfortunately, California killed off all of its grizzlies and the last known to exist within the boundaries of Yosemite was shot dead in 1895 (it became a national park in 1890). It only has black bears, and they're far more interested in breaking into vehicles for food. There's an absolute dearth of attacks and injuries, with zero deaths ever recorded. It's prohibited to even carry bear spray there.

I used to tell people the same about North Carolina, that there were zero black bear fatalities in the state’s recorded history, but that’s no longer true. A few years ago a man was killed by a black bear in the Smokies.
