Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
Sergeant Mitchell in the flesh… or, rather, his remains… I do have to admit, I am impressed that you made it back, alive from Black Messahhh, even if it was not our intention to begin with… yet you are still here. You should have just died there, but… here you are. You’ve proven yourself a man of rare conviction, heh, but even this does not impress me as much as the words you speak… *clears throat*… ‘whatever it takes, whoever it takes, however long it takes, before I die, I will kill you.’ Is that right? Well, you see, Mr. Mitchell, we cannot let you kill Doctor Freeman… yet… they authorised me to offer you… a deal… you will be rewarded with authority, power, and time… the only payment we ask when the time comes? Keep your promise, Mr. Mitchell…
Rise and Shine Mr. Freeman, rise and...shine. Not that I wish to imply you have been sleeping...on the job, no one is more deserving of a rest, and all the effort...in the world would have gone to waste, until… well...let’s I just say your hour has come again. The right man in the wrong place can make all the dif-ference… in the world…. so, wake up, Mr. Freeman. Wake up and...smell the ashes….
Idk if you want to change literally nothing about yourself, not even your pronouns, and just identify differently i still consider you trans. Literally doesn't matter to me. It hurts more trans people to exclude people who are happily identifying as trans than it benefits. You use she/her and like pink and skirts but also like being agender? Idgaf welcome to the club. I love you
