   @saraislet@infosec.exchange @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io I suspect AIDS unfortunately played a large role in cutting off newer generations from accumulated wisdom, as well, since we lost so many people who would have been queer elders.
   
   (not only that, but the fact that LGBTQ people arise in every demographic means there's different challenges in forming communities together; we need to find each other somehow, then form community, and if that community isn't already there or we don't have a model of how to build it...)Honestly I think the only learning the White trans community does about surviving fascism is what we learn from Black families and Black community💯💯💯 This is yet another reason why there are so many attempts to 'split' minority communities from forming bonds, I suspect. If they get us to embrace whiteness and reject actual humans, the only model for 'community' we have is fundamentally broken and based entirely on oppressive structures.

     @aud @mekkaokereke @saraislet another reason to protect our queer community like hell right now. If you're not visibly queer (or not queer at all), this is a great time to walk with your queer friends and do everything you can to keep them safe. We may have made a lot of progress against STIs, but there are a lot of people trying to recreate this gap for future generations by getting rid of us en masse again now
