Transgender Day of Visibility is a daily battle for many trans people because they can’t hide the way I can. The fear of being beaten, or killed is real. We can’t fight the fascists alone, or numbers are too few. Use your voice daily to defend friends and family. Do not bow to fascists. Do not stop talking. Voting is not enough, you have your start organizing. Protesting is important, but it’s not an afternoon in the park. It’s a sustained plan to build community, networks, and infrastructure that supplants and replaces tge hegemony.
