5 Thoughts On Trump's Visit To Mexico
New York Magazine

As I read the headlines in various social media, I kept thinking it was a joke. Surely someone who has insulted a country, its people and its values wouldn’t dare step foot in that land right? If not for pride, for shame at having said such mean things. Boy, was I wrong, and Trump’s visit to Mexico really did happen. Then, after recovering from the shock, I started analyzing the situation and here are five thoughts that sum up my intake on this event. But first here's a little video:

1. What in the world was Mexico’s president thinking?

It’s not like Mexico is oblivious to everything Trump has said about Mexicans. If Mexico’s president, Enrique Peña Nieto, is already on red numbers with his popularity with the whole corruption issue, why would he willingly walk into more trouble? Perhaps he thought that by doing something stupid, people would forget about the fact that he plagiarized 29% of his thesis.

2. How did Mexicans react?

I have a guess about this one actually. I base it off of the fact that we’ve even made piñatas of Trump to symbolize how much we hate him when we mercilessly hit the piñata with a stick.

3. How can someone be so two-faced?

It was disgusting the way he read vile lies from his script expressing his love, appreciation and admiration for Mexico and its people.

4. If now he is changing the words he’s been saying his whole campaign, then what do his followers say?

I have no idea why Trump even has any followers, but since they all seem to come together in their shared hatred towards different skin colors, what did they do after seeing their idol throw sweet words at Mexicans? They were probably thinking that since now their master is nice to Mexicans, the wall he claims to build will be painted with rainbows and flowers, you know, to make it more friendly.

5. Why haven’t we banned Trump from Mexico?

I’m pretty sure there was a petition floating around somewhere. Why can’t the Mexican legislature approve it?

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
