When you can’t say it, sing it.
Me, sober af, eyes strained from being on my devices too often, singing into the camera: “If you trust in your soul, keep your eyes on the goal. Then the prize, you won’t fail. That’s your grail. That’s your grail.” , then “CEASEFIRE NOW.”

I’m wearing a black ballcap with an X= sign on it, blue hair, several necklaces and a blue shirt.
NO PRIDE IN GENOCIDE.
Israel’s pinkwashing campaign exploits LGBTQ rights to project a progressive image, while Israeli bombs and bullets kill queer Palestinians just the same.
While there are certainly issues with being LGBTQ in Palestine, Israel’s propaganda ignores the reality of being part of the community in Israel, alongside the weaponisation of sexuality by the Israeli state to blackmail, abuse and intimidate LGBTQ people not only in Palestine, but around the world.
No Pride in Apartheid.
No Pride in Genocide.

Don’t let tabloids distract you from what’s happening in Gaza. Really nice try, though.
CEASEFIRE NOW. Where are these people supposed to go? They are being bombarded and targeted wherever they go! Innocent lives, children. CHILDREN. Where is our humanity? Repost from @wizard_bisan1 Share this, let the whole world see, know and STRIKE.

First pic by @madisonswart of me, @trudy0nduty and Mio in D.C. at the March for Gaza on Jan 13th, 2023. We are masked with winter coats on, and I am carrying Mio in a pet backpack on my front with a Palestinian flag hanging off it. We are against Islamophobia, anti-semitism, and genocide. We are against the U.S. government funding these horrific dehumanizing atrocities and we felt it necessary to show up with our queer, non-binary and trans community, which included trans Egyptian Palestinians. Lgbtqia2s community exists worldwide and will not be forgotten. Some like to pass around this tired narrative that we have no business advocating for Palestinian lives because they say that if we were in Gaza a certain kind of violence would be perpetrated on us that wouldn’t in the U.S. Well, Im feeling for those folks and their projections. I’m also here to remind them that here in the U.S. LGBTQIA2S people are still being murdered and discriminated against for being queer – in particular Black, Brown and Indigenous trans and non-binary communities. The point of including us in all spaces is to remind everyone that none of us are free until all of us are free. Humans have a history of violence throughout the world- this is nothing new. And liberation is for ALL OF US. So get used to us being present and accounted for. We matter, whether we’re in the U.S., the Congo, Sudan, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Hawaii or Gaza. And I am sending you all love, no matter how deeply you are hurting.

I am so grateful for the people in my life who have helped me, and are still supporting me, in healing and getting free.
Thank you for helping me peel back the layers of conditioning, socialization and trauma.
Thank you for helping me take responsibility for my own humanity as I continue to lean into the discomfort of growth and change.
Thank you for not exploiting me and discarding me.
Thank you for calling me in and holding me close while I forge a path of empowerment and authenticity.
Thank you for reminding me my softness is one of my many superpowers.
This is about being human and showing up with courage and curiosity no matter how bumpy the road there gets.
