been trying to write a TL;DR about #PopeFrancis and his work and solidarity with trans women, especially sex workers, but there really isn’t much in English; so y’all have to deal with articles in Spanish.

so let’s get this clear: when he said the RCC only recognized two genders, he was being explicit about that historical fact. he wasn’t saying trans folks didn’t have a right to exist. on the contrary, his letters on how transfolks are welcomed as godmothers & godfathers are key… 🧵

They target trans folk because they think cishet folk will look away. They're counting on you not defending those who aren't like you.

They target Black and Brown folk because they think white folk will look away. They're counting on us not defending those who aren't like us.

be unapologetically weird.

the wrong people will leave.
the right people will stick around.

OK, I had to get a shot of this and show all of you!

I love my adorable floof dragon so much.
