Let’s get one thing straight: I don’t believe in billionaires.

You don’t become a billionaire without having been under-generous to the people who have worked menial jobs even harder and for less income. Has she paid unprecedented bonuses to her staff? Absolutely. Has she boosted local economies and brought smiles to the faces of children? Also yes.

Love and Community on Transgender Day of Visibility

By The Catcall Team

For Trans Day of Visibility in 2026, we wanted to do something special. Not only is Catcall full of trans folks and people who love trans folks, but this is undeniably a heightened time of vulnerability for the trans community.
