People have heard, “By coming for trans people and immigrants, they’re coming for everyone,” but many do not actually understand the gravity of this statement and the devastating impacts to every single being and facet of life.
Trans people ensure that everyone has freedom of identity and the ability to make decisions about our own bodies.
Immigrants ensure that we have diverse cultures, people, and freedom of movement.
The line that oppressors are trying to determine what about trans people and immigrants is not permitted, that line is moving.
For instance, the line trying to restrict trans people from making decisions about our own bodies, that line when shifted becomes men making decisions about women’s bodies, and even becomes eugenics.
The line that restricts freedom of movement for immigrants currently, that line when shifted becomes homogeneity, eugenics, pursuit of a single race and restrictions on our movement and travel.
Oppressors are pushing that line. It is not arbitrary that they are going after trans people and immigrants right now. This is a strategic move that allows them to push that line to control anyone they want.
If you do not hold that line now, it will be harder later on when there are fewer people to be able to hold that line with you.
If you at all enjoy different cultures, food, to be able to wear beauty products, make up, or any type of clothing you want, if you like learning different languages, reading diverse books, learning about different practices and traditions, being able to travel between states or countries, being able to decide who you are, if you like any of these and more, you need to fight with everything you have to hold that line.
You need to fight for trans people and immigrants with everything you’ve got.
Black, Indigenous people, and disabled people have been saying this for centuries, and that line keeps on getting pushed.
If you do not hold that line, there will be none of us left.
Hold the line and push back.
