I want you to think about how fucking important Janet Mock’s ending to that tweet is “We all just want to be seen and/or just be. Let folks f*king be.”

For trans women, our struggle is not one for representation, its not one for inclusion, no its one for fucking survival. Our demand has become “let us be” and even that is not granted. We are seen as less than human. We are misgenedered and erased in our own obituaries. We don’t even get to just be.
