You'll notice the only party I blamed were the white patriarchy. I'm said I will stand beside you to help you fight for rights. Not blaming.

Trans people make up 1/160th of the population. That's almost 2 orders of magnitude smaller than the POC population.

We do not have the numbers to scale anything close to the civil rights movement. We rely on cis people to stand for us and they failed.

Cis people failed trans people when it was easy and now we have no faith they will show up when it is hard.

White ppl have failed POC for 100+ yrs after the 13th amendment. Still are. We are dying too. I'm prisons, by police, institutional racism.

While I agree with everything you are saying, you are taking a discussion about trans rights and recentering it.

That is not my intent. My intent is to say that civil rights struggles are happening for all of us. But it won't get fixed by absence.

Your intent can be whatever it is but you're still blaming trans people for finding safety.

We are not obligated to stay and fight if we cannot live. We are not obligated to throw our bodies to a system that betrays us.

It's not like we flee the USA to just drink smoothies on the beaches of Utopia. There's right wing bullshit to fight/find us anywhere we go.
