on the subject of today's discourse, one must note that while MLK did a lot to advance the cause of PoC rights, so did the Black Panther Party. revolution is rarely a pretty business, but strength (as shown by BPP) shouldn't be confused as hatrid.

fighting for freedom is not the same as hate, much like someone who is frustrated saying "fuck cis people" is not necessarily an expression of hate either, but instead simple frustration.

the way to advance trans rights is to be out, be proud, and be able to defend yourself, which is why I would like to see an LGBT-oriented club which teaches various tactics (martial arts) and tools for self defense (gun safety). or put differently, to be a freedom fighter, you must be willing and able to actually fight. that's where the disconnect is in the movement right now in my opinion.

ok thanks for attending my TED talk.
