As #TDoR begins to fade, and as my energy and consciousness begins to fade, a few thoughts.
To my #trans siblings... it has been a rough year. It's been a heartbreaking year. We hurt. We grieve.
Hurting and grieving is what TDoR is for - to remember those who have fallen, to speak their names so that we don't forget. A shared pain is lessened, so we gather to tend our wounds, to cry for our fallen. We grieve together, we hurt together, knowing that, together, we can stand before the darkness.
Tougher days are ahead. Those who would destroy us will use everything in their power to separate us, to pull us apart, isolate us, drive us to despair.
This is why we must stand together. We are stronger together than we are apart. Together, we shine; together, we rise.
Say their names. Remember those gone. Cry if you must - rest if you can.
And know, my siblings, no matter where you are, no matter the darkness you face, you are not alone.
