A message from our Team to the trans community regarding the state of politics in relation to trans existence.

Stay tuned for further announcements, and if you submitted to our first issue, look towards your email in the coming 2 weeks to hear of the status for your submission!
A purple poster with white text, the lilac journal logo is in the upper right hand corner, and a graphic showing ½ parts on the bottom right of the poster. White text reads: “Dearest friends, Our team wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the deep pain and fear sweeping across the so-called United States, and the world, in the wake of the inauguration of president Trump. Countless horrors are being enacted on a timescale meant to overwhelm us, meant to drown our resolve and cause us to feel helpless. People are being taken from their homes and families, citizens are having their rights stripped away, the fabric of our governing body is fraying and cracking at the seams. Genocides of multiple forms are being enabled and devastating communities. Trans rights are under attack in an unsurprising but unprecedented fashion. Many of us may feel that we saw this coming, and rightfully so. Trans people have been sounding the alarm bell on facism and a certain billionaire’s nazi tendencies for years now. We deserve to be upset that this wasn't prevented. Yet we also must not let this plunge us into a despair too deep to rise from. As harrowing as these changes may feel, they will not last forever. Queerness is innate. Transess is to be human. We are not going anywhere, no matter how hard they try to erase us.” Second poster, also with purple background and white text, a lilac clip art graphic in the bottom middle, and a 2/2 graphic on the bottom right. White text reads: “We are not a news station, we are not journalists, we are not activists by profession, but the work that we do here at The Lilac Journal is inseparable from politics. Projects like ours help preserve the lived experiences and the magical humaneness of trans lives. The work we do is centered in acknowledging the censorship of transness, and endeavours to do the opposite. In today's political climate, this mission is more important than ever. Rest assured that this violence will not stop us. Rest assured that the work that we are doing persists. We are dedicated to continuing to create bodies of work that illuminate trans people and their artistic creations. We are dedicated to circumventing the censorship of our truest personhood whenever possible. We are dedicated to being a place where trans people can show up and be celebrated regardless of society's perception of our value and personhood. Our first issue is forthcoming, and those who submitted will be receiving emails regarding the status of their submissions in the coming weeks. We are overjoyed to have received so much work from our community for this issue, and we are so excited to see everything else the trans community may offer to our future issues. In the meantime, we urge all trans people to turn towards each other. To find solace in our love for each other and ourselves. To resist in any means possible, which deeply includes simply finding any small reason to stay alive. We want you here with us. With love and resistance, The Lilac Journal Team”
