A letter to the system that was never built for me. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
I resign. No, this is not your traditional resignation letter. There are no two weeks’ notice from an unapologetic soul. No pretense of gratitude padded in euphemisms like “new opportunities” or “a fresh chapter.” No cordial signing off. I am not resigning from a company, a role, or a team. I am resigning from a system. A gaslit, rigged, suffocating machine built on structural racism, misogyny, false meritocracy, and a cycle that asks me to prove myself at every turn, only to be punished for succeeding.

This morning, I awoke to a series of messages from someone I hadn’t interacted with meaningfully in nearly two decades. The messages were accusatory, labeling me as antisemitic for reposting a video that questioned the ethical implications of a religious figure’s involvement in the adult entertainment industry. The abruptness and severity of the accusation were startling, especially considering our minimal history and their lack of effort to understand my perspective.
