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?

"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.

But the government does get to decide what healthcare it covers, whose IDs are valid, which people it’s legal to discriminate against.
This culture war idiocy is so powerful. This is going to be a long fight.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

I’m seeing some new folks on this here platform complaining about a lack of engagement & interaction.
Here’s the thing: Without an algorithm shoveling things at you (thank the gods), interaction *is* different and something you have to, well, actively generate.
Here’s what I find works:

To shift the nature of How We Do Things, cars need to get harder and transit needs to get easier.
My critiques of transit enthusiasts usually stem from those folks not seeing the ways transit is hard for the car brained, but "use the understood toll paradigm in places cars shouldn't be" is good.
