“To the people who puff themselves up, and beat their chests, and yell about strength while pouring salt into the wounds of insecurity and fear, I can never see your rhetoric as anything other than sad, hurtful, weakness. Weakness that is getting in the way of our ability to get on doing the good work that humanity needs to do. And I have no doubt that in the fullness of time, we will move past this, and we will do that good work.”
