I am mad that the people who could help with this fascist regime seem willing to tuck their heads down and do “self care.” I wake up every morning now to see what rights have been taken away—I wake up in agony.

I can’t tuck my head down. I can’t change my skin color to one acceptable to these people. I am intersex and can’t change that I look androgynous and queer in all clothing. I am leaving the house with my passport in my pocket just in case. I can’t pee in a public restroom without threat. It doesn’t matter how kind I am, how conscientious, I’m subhuman to these people.

Please if you have a conscience defend the targets of this administration and MAGA ideology. It starts with you. Please don’t let us be abused in silence. Prevent security guards or literally random men from attempting to “verify” genitalia, call out your unhinged families or at least remove your children from their influence.

It must feel so nice to ignore the evil around you, warm in the knowledge that you’re safe. Wake up, Elon felt safe and supported in his decision to sieg heil twice on national television. I have eyes, you have eyes, yet the media waffles on about “strange gestures” or “awkward movements.”

I am tired of speaking gently to you, the white American. You are failing every time an ICE raid separates a child from their parents and no one yelled “la migra” so that they could have a few minutes to plan to find each other. Every time. You can pretend it’s not that bad, but history will remember you differently.

We sneer at the German populace who fell in under the Nazis. Most Germans did NOT attempt to help, save, or shelter their Jewish neighbors.
