    So there's this thing about #SecondCivilWarLetters going around and what I see are a bunch of glib white people mocking white suburbia, so let me post some of my Second Civil War letter, one I actually wrote shortly before I was surrounded by 300 men with torches and gassed.

        I've been trying to write my legacy so that my story lives on if I don't. And the hardest, but most important legacy to leave has been about love. #SecondCivilWarLetters

        Christine has been the jewel of my life, and I owe to her a thousand times over a thousand times the love she has given me. I want to get through tomorrow to spend a long life together, crafting new tales, finding new adventures. #SecondCivilWarLetters

        She has been patient with me through transition. Transition is a very self-centered process. It is a process of rediscovery. #SecondCivilWarLetters

        The toll it takes on a relationship is not necessarily one of gender or sexuality or perception, but how a person who was able to give to others must now give to themselves to become whole. #SecondCivilWarLetters

        I thought about writing letters to [my loved ones] in case I don't make it. About what they meant to me. But something I learned from those relationships is that it's so much better to speak what you feel, to live without regrets. #SecondCivilWarLetters

        And I think I want that to be my legacy. That though imperfect, I tried to love perfectly. #SecondCivilWarLetters

        Don't bid me caution, because safety is not my choice to make. Don't bid me luck, because I must rely on skill. I walk in tomorrow to face off people who have told me they want me dead... #SecondCivilWarLetters

        that they want to turn America into a white-only continent, that they want to suppress women, to erase queers, to murder people of color. I don't do this to be brave, or to be strong, or to inspire, or to satisfy an ego. #SecondCivilWarLetters

        I do this because every human being deserves the chance to love as I have loved and to be loved as I have been loved. One day. Simply bid me well. I'll see you all on the 13th. #SecondCivilWarLetters

        Within the next 24 hours, I would be attacked by a torch-bearing mob and find myself on-scene during a terrorist attack from someone who wanted to start a race war. Spare me your fucking Olive Garden takes.

        I can’t “like” this thread, but I can acknowledge the heavy load of pain that you bear after A11-12. These people making jokes have no clue what real damage has already been done in the past year.

        It's possible to be aware of the atrocities going on, whether by my own experience or through those I love, and also take a moment to mock Alex Jones for one day. I appreciate this thread and my heart aches. I take action in ways that matter. Not mutually exclusive.

        Well thanks for doing his work for him, which is to make the very real warnings about racial violence seem absurd and mockworthy.

        Plenty of marginalized folks who have risked death are up in here blowing off steam. It’s ok if it’s not your deal but please don’t dare say we’re helping the fascists by continuing to find humor. Take care of yourself & don’t throw other ppl who are hurting no under the bus

        Yes. It’s a very emotional time and it’s so difficult in so many ways. But we all have different methods of activism...if we can concentrate on our own methods without policing others’, I think we still have a chance...

        A year ago. Then apparently ran away. We call that a deserter.

        When y'see somebody dead, others in varying states of injury, and know therere people w/ guns shooting at your friends and comrades, or w/ sticks who're beating up a person of color, or that wanted to assault clergy, your mind is in fight or flight, not "time to be a hero"
