      We have turned social justice into a race, not a march. Rather than getting there together we are trying to get there first.

      Elders in the movement have a patience seldom seen among my peers; they have seen already what we are yet to see.

      Being the most pure at the finish line is hardly a measure of justice. The cost we pay cannot be the ones we have thrown out along the way.

      Purity is a filter by which we remove people and deny them justice. We have to do better.

      Justice isn't accomplished by five pure people arriving, having successfully cast off their sins.

      We have awoken to the notion of white/cis/straight/etc guilt but we have not awoken to the understanding that casting our guilt onto another is not the same as addressing it.

      We are burning through our best because they are not good enough for ever evolving standards. We rationalize potential harms as manifest ones.

          Our movement will eat itself if we are not given to truth. The core of social justice is a moral truth and that cannot be realized if truth is irrelevant.

          And we have made truth irrelevant.

          The path requires brave people to do hard things and assume risk. We are better served supporting those people and mitigatong the risk. Not for their sake, but for ours. Because we have invented many low-risk ways to spin our wheels and create the illusion of progress.

          For all the talk of revolution, I see sparingly few people with the talents to fight a war.

          Does this apply to Rose McGowan, who you've been critical of as a TERF (i.e. an impure feminist)?

          Rose went out of her way to promote an exclusionary philosophy, which is substantially different than not capturing every possible intersection in the course of important work, or being caught being mildly polite to bad people with none of your allies in sight.

          Regardless of comparisons in degree, she's a strong voice for women who is yet imperfect.
