A message to our #trans siblings

Some of us will be around difficult people this week.

It is not your job to convince assholes not to be assholes

Please prioritize your #joy. You’re beautiful and we need you in this world

Our existence is resistance.
Our project is about joy, because joy in our community is a site of resistance. But we know the value of rage. We understand the value of outrage. Let’s all give ourselves the space to feel what we’re feeling. Let’s scream in anger. Let’s hold close our chosen families. Let’s take the time we need to grieve. Then let’s get back to what we’ve always done: Thrive Our existence is resistance.
