"If you think you can erase the trans folks, queers of color, poor, disabled, immigrant, sex-positive, sex-flaunting, weird, flamboyant, LOUD queers, if you think you can erase them ENOUGH so your parents, church, and God will love you the way you want to be loved, you are wrong.

"As more of us are under attack, do not for one moment think that distancing yourself from the vulnerable makes you safe.

"It doesn't.

"It just tells the fuckers that we can be picked off one by one.

"Defend trans WoC, for they get murdered an awful fucking lot.

"Defend trans masc folks, because they suffer from a crapton of mental health issues.

"Defend the sex workers and kinksters, because none of us want the Christian Right in our beds."
