🔥❤️Our Auntie Badly wrote an essay published by Gallery Aferro as part of their series, Prism Commissions. "I identify as a threat. (It’s Not Just A Meme) My pronouns are Here/Forever To the point: Heteropatriarchal powers, the dominant powers on this Earth, hate and fear Queer, transgender and 3rd-gender people because, if not structurally oppressed, we are capable of the most powerful, defining characteristic of our species: intergenerational knowledge transfer. If not structurally oppressed, by laws, by violence and child abuse, by bigotry that keeps food out of our mouths or healthcare from our bodies and our families, we are capable of the same intergenerational knowledge transfer that defines all human cultures. Why are transgender children and their families the target of violence and hate, now?" 📚Read the whole essay here: /badly-licked-bear/?fbclid=IwAR0J8ZqU4xU2jWrnIEI91Yjj04sCMx7LjG2BfQRlSmAaX7lp2IoEoAIXDNw
