When "rights" can be taken away by your government any time they decide they would like your community to not exist anymore, those aren't rights. Can we get some actual rights in this country? Ones not subject to the spinning wind vane of public opinion?

In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.

So remember Sylvia Rivera, and every person like her who spoke up despite ridicule and rejection. That is what queer liberation is built upon. Not respectability and comfort. It takes EVERYONE to make a movement happen.

Beneath all the cries of “ban their phones” lies a more sinister truth:
They fear what happens when Queer kids find each other,
when their connections mean the strength to survive, and their community gives them power to thrive

I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate.
That's why they hate it.

Of course I have.
The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious.
