And the majority always hates this "Black Is Beautiful" got mocked to hell and back by shitty white people, who want to forget that MLK himself quoted it in a speech There's endless concern trolling around the concept of "gay pride" -- "Can't they just stay home and be normal"

And the idea of transness as a positive good in the world, something to celebrate, gets shot through with arrows from all sides as soon as you take it outdoors They've worn that South Park "STUNNING AND BRAVE" meme into the fucking ground

And yeah, you know what, it is Even the shittiest nastiest worst person in the world (which Caitlyn Jenner, frankly, isn't, much as I don't particularly like her) would still be "stunning and brave" for transitioning Precisely because of this shitty meme

Precisely because something that, independent of all the other vices and failings and baggage of the person doing it, IS A FUNDAMENTALLY GOOD AND BEAUTIFUL THING, will without fail be attacked as a perversion, as delusional narcissism, as self-involved psychological brokenness

Any transition, any coming out of the closet, any act of saying "The box I was born into and expected to occupy is wrong and I'm picking a different one" is an act of liberation, a chain being broken, the world becoming a tiny bit less of the suffocating prison it usually is

And it's so fucking easy for every other shitty peanut gallery loser to sneer at that To put on the uniform of a guard even though every single one of us is really here as an inmate, to find power in mocking and tearing down the idea of escape as a fantasy for immature freaks

in this i have been influenced by sedgwick's "how to bring your kids up gay" she says, we have made much hay out of being "born this way" but one day science is going to figure out how to stop us from being born on that day we should be able to say, no queer is fucking great

so i will say it a world in which nobody ever transitions, even if this is because nobody ever needs to transition, is a worse world a bit greyer, and more of a prison
