I am a trans woman with aspergers, who suffers from chronic depression and anxiety. If I could leave the house, I’d be doing a hell of a lot more than merely marching. America has elected a neo-nazi into office who has surrounded himself with monsters and incompetents; a man who has been elected under dubious circumstances that nobody in power is doing anything about.

Underlining this is a push to deprive women of respect and rights. Bathroom bills aimed at assaulting trans women are now being debated upon, my need to have a safe place to PISS is considered grounds for debate over the groundless insistence that people like me are all potential child predators. Cis women have been hit by these same rules – typically women who don’t fit in standard notions of beauty.

Funding is being stripped from Planned Parenthood under false pretenses (federal funding does NOT pay for abortions), leaving many low income and queer folk in the cold for finding important health care.

Our new president has crowed about sexual assault, implied that his rival in the election should be killed, and has publicly mocked a man’s disability. His vice-president believes in conversion therapy, and policies that will kill poor and sick folk alike.

I don’t have enough space to write down all my greviances. But I hope beyond hope this march can mark the death knell of fascism in this country, as unlikely as it is.

Fuck you, nazi scum. We won’t go down without leaving you a black eye and a pretty corpse.
