The one who saved my life and stomped the shooter’s face in was not a drag queen, she is a trans woman. Let’s not call trans women drag queens during this time of grieving over a transphobic attack.

At today's #StateOfSGMHealth symposium, Jamie Frazier of @lightfoundchi tells @chikimhunt62 that the Black Queer Equity Index and the Chicago Area Trans Survey are using qualitative and quantitative data to systematize approaches to racial equity. #BQEI

1/ It makes sense many queer people don't want cops at Pride.
Police routinely escalate tensions at protests. Last year’s Queer Liberation March was celebratory + non-violent, until the NYPD arrived to provoke marchers, make arrests + pepper spray crowds. gothamist.com/news/nypd-offi…

Gaslighting is absolutely part of the functionality of white supremacy. Telling the oppressed that what they know is happening is not happening, it is part of the violence

we marched because we were getting killed, y’all are rioting because you didn’t get your way...we are not the same.

funny how all of these white trump supporters can riot and force their way into the CAPITOL without consequence or the national guard present but when BLM protests for EQUALITY there’s police/military force using weaponry yet white privilege “doesn’t exist”
