I am poisoning the blood of America
My body is a weapon against fascism
My sexuality an act of terrorism
I make myself a target
To draw fire from others

I practice acts of guerilla kindness
I welcome others into my community
Your cruelty makes our ranks swell
Twigs snap, but faggots are hard to break

You may not like it, but this is what peak trans agenda looks like.

I think one of the biggest moments was when I realized that, like the improv show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", it's all made up and the points don't matter.

Gender is a social construct. A collection of things we're supposed to have, not have, like, dislike, find attractive, act like, not act like, etc.

But all of that is just social pressure to conform to an ideal of femininity/masculinity. And the people I see trying the hardest to draw those lines in the sand, are also the people I'd trust least to have *any* say in who I can be.

...

I guess I just stopped giving many fucks about what others think about shit that isn't any of their business. I'm poly, pan, and nonbinary—life's too short for arbitrary restrictions.
