OK this will just be me making one last note on the March. While I was there I saw a lot of sign a with vaginas and uteruses on them and that was for a reason. Because they were not trying to exclude trans individuals, at least the majority of them were not. Those signs I saw and the people I talked to who held them were specifically using those signs as a means of calling out the Anti-Abortion legislation that could be a law in the future. Yes there were some people who were not pro-trans rights but those few were far outnumbered by those who were simply protesting setting else entirely. And honestly? See all those pro-choice signs was great. And I saw so many supporters of trans-rights that it made my tiny genderfluid heart flutter in excitement. This was the story I saw in DC and it made me so happy.
There were countless Princess Leia posters at the march today, young girls walking around in her iconic buns. I think this is the importance of film. Because if a character stands among protesters at a march of resistance and unity and hope, it means something. Art has power and we need it now more than ever, I just wish Carrie Fisher could see all she’s inspired.
Unfollow me if you wish, but this blog will NEVER support Trump and instead supports the LGBT community, racial minorities, women, people with disabilities, immigrants, Muslims, Jewish people, and anyone else who is afraid now. I am with you, and this will always be a safe space for you.
