today we honor all of our fallen trans comrades
those killed, either directly or indirectly, due to the machinations of a cruel and unjust world and societies that largely would prefer if we simply ceased existing
but, more than that, we resolve to keep fighting. trans people everywhere are staring down the barrel of unbelievable genocidal terror right now. with imminent fascism knocking at our doors, there's nothing more punk rock than saying "NO, FUCK YOU, I REFUSE TO JUST LAY DOWN AND DIE"
it takes a lot of strength to accept yourself as trans, let alone everything else that comes after. but you don't have to do it alone. remember, our strength is in community. it always has been. that's how we will weather the coming storm
some parting words:
your heart is a muscle
the size of your fist
keep on loving
keep on fighting
and hold on and hold on
hold on for your life
