Nikki Giovanni staunchly supported trans folks, especially trans youth. Her encouragement is a balm.
“I think the transgender kids are the bravest kids right now that we see; they're as brave as my generation was in breaking down segregation.”
“I think the transgender kids are the bravest kids right now that we see; they're as brave as my generation was in breaking down segregation.”
![A white square with black text reading, “I remember in a recent interview you spoke about your support of the trans community, because you said: "I see that transgender youngsters are the ones who are helping to take planet Earth into the galaxy because we're going to run into other life forms that our gender does not matter." Can you speak about that a bit?

![A white square with black text reading, “But when we go into the galaxy, a life-form may say,
"Who are you?" Well, there's no point in talking to another life-form and [saying] "I'm a boy or a girl," because it may have no meaning. That may mean nothing to them. So what you're going to say is, "I am a life form from the third planet, from the yellow sun," therefore giving yourself an identity. You don't have an identity because you say, "I'm a boy, I'm a girl, I'm a Jew or Gentile, I'm a Catholic or Baptist." That doesn't mean anything once you get beyond the prejudices of Earth.
So yeah, I think the transgender students are really brave because they're taking a lot of flack for just wanting to be themselves and to have the right to have their own name. I think that's incredibly brave, and I
think that they're absolutely right to want to do that.
To want to own themselves.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wh3pv4fvnxycxhglk6x4ief5/bafkreifkk2cersgiekwhqwonhhn62py7ddayi4rlmtxtwxth3eagmqkfri@jpeg)

my problem is i look at this data and think “damn, back to the drawing board, gotta change the variables if this is enough to tip the scales” and unfortunately no amount of unpaid research labs are going to make me in charge of anything 🙃
A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.
You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
