Thoughts on a Day Marked

Resist the Regression. Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
No pride for some of us without liberation for all of us. - Marsha P. Johnson Too often, the act of gendering is a danger to people. All people, even if they don’t identify as trans or non-binary.

It is killing your humanity, killing your self-love and expression, and killing your self-discovery and potential. It leaves little to the imagination, trapping our minds with only certain tools: stereotypes and assumptions. Fear is bred here.
