Art community. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up. We are in an existential moment. We are right to feel it. The ground HAS shifted. The future is not what we were planning for. And yes, it was fast. And yes, the whiplash hurts. But… we are here. And we know it. So, what the F? This is what I’m dreaming…

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights.
