Today, it's a lot harder to erase history and existence. Our digital footprints are hard to wash out in entirety - even though the powers that be do still try - and our histories can't be burnt in a singular fire. They'll still try. But I have hope that we will have more of our existence endure now-

"How would you define a woman??"
'a woman' is a cluster of symptoms
a particular woman will exhibit some but not necessarily all of the symptoms across that cluster

I know not all of the women on the Blue Origin flight were white, but I'm sure that if you go on one of those you get an honorary membership.
So this is still relevant to them

Patriarchy forces us at knifepoint to answer its query of our gender. Any answers we give will be wrong if we speak on their terms.
The level of apprehension I've seen regarding rejecting the framing that transness is an inborn medical condition best "treated" by "medically necessary care" is a bit frustrating, given how much that framing has been used to surveil us, gatekeep care, and leave us at the mercy of abusive doctors.
