I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

One of the hardest aspects of being multiracial and queer is that I don't really do fixed identity—although that said, I am very grateful for both of these terms, for the simple reason that it makes life easier and more direct.
