Ganesha Gold Buffalo, a male-to-female trans “sex worker,” said that colonialism caused her to “[wake] up at four in the morning ... to sounds of my ancestors screaming from outside my window.” She followed the voices into the woods and the “nature spirits” decolonized her mind.

Gold Buffalo said that society should affirm her identity as a woman with a penis. “I 100 percent want to still be able to look in the mirror and see every part of myself as a woman ... my mustache, all of my facial hair, my untrimmed brows, my fat ass, my belly, my big dick.”

The solution, according to one panelist, is for straight white Americans to provide cash “reparations” to trans people. “If you’re white and your parents have a savings account, that is very much so connected to slavery and land theft, pay people ... Pay that money to us now.”

"I just want to live in a world where if I call myself a unicorn I'd be that." Preposterous? Yes. Marginal? Yes. But actually the logical extension of the view that whatever you feel yourself to be is what you are, which is anything but ideologically and morally marginal today.
