We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social
An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

99% of the questions are stuff they could Google—what trans bodies can look like, how surgeries work, why people pursue them, etc. is easy to find out online. (I say as someone who gets asked "HOW ARE YOU GAY IF YOU'RE TRANS? HOW ARE YOU TRANS IF YOU'RE GAY? WHY TWO THINGS?? WHY? pretty often...)

The fact that this isn't surprising shows all the problems with our society 😭 i am so done with fascism...especially when youth and teens are espousing it. #youthliberation is an #antifascist issue and a lot of people truly don't grasp that.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
