and the frustrating thing is: these two stories are just a few that ive heard in recent history. and its always trans people being extracted from.

and im not talking about ensuring people are paid thousands of dollars. I just mean like... a fucking thank you. how can we expect such labour from people, such risk, and not even fucking ask? not even fucking say thank you?

I bought my colleague a coffee today because she needed the community care. I did so from the overdraft in my account, because I am lucky enough to have it. Why the fuck is she out here working with funding and regulatory bodies without the capacity to so much as get herself a little kindness on a hard day?

what the fuck is wrong with our society that we just expect this? that we just treat this like fucking normal? it turns out, nine times out of ten, if you just ask people kindly and treat hem with respect, people will gladly jump on board and help the ship stay afloat.
