The time has come. Once again, liberal democracies are failing us and using us as scapegoats for the previous and future economic downturns posed by the post-pandemic world. This is not fearmongering, but rather, an observation that has been made repeatedly since Trump's election and every time the British government decides to kick us while we are down.
Do not fret, however. In times like these it is us, the victims of tyranny, who will see one of, if not many, our finest hours.
We make up "only" 1% of the population. That makes us 80 million strong! We are a people who transect race, gender, religion, country, language, physicality, ideology, etc. We are a culture older than any nation, a people who predate and shall exist after the human race. Our people are too good to be relegated to bring murdered in bathrooms, hunted on the internet, and oppressed by global governments.
I understand many of us wish to see our transness as nothing interesting. We wish to simply exist as ordinary. But the powers that be are forcing our hands, to admit we are completely and positively EXTRAORDINARY! If we are to defend our way of life, we must come together and reject the cisnormative regimes which seek to tear us down.
But how is it we harness the trans power which we so obviously hold? This is not an easy question, and I cannot provide a solid "theory of everything". But I can utilize the resources given to me and suggest a simple, humble beginning: connection! What separates, say, a Bolivian, or a Tajik, or a Czech from any other people on the planet? When they wake up and head out the door for work, they see Bolivians, or Tajiks, or Czechs. When a transgender wakes up, they must greet their fellow transgenders.
I suggest the formation of vigilance cells comprised of at least 3 transgender individuals, to a maximum of 10 total individuals, located within a singular 10 mile radius. Cells will be tasked in keeping tabs of each other and assisting each other in surviving this harsh reality. Link together with your brothers, sisters, and siblings to make sure they are vigilant, and keep them from the clutches of tyrannical government and the overwhelming force of... well... the universe. Furthermore, cells will connect with other cells to share ideas, resources, and information. Work together, play together, share food together, share advice together. The biggest enemy to our way of life is isolation. We are small neurons of a collective mind. Neurons are useless unless connected!
However, you may ask, where are these neurons to be connected? This I cannot say. Reddit is an open forum, and open place to speak your mind and inevitably get shot down by the moderators, or god forbid the admins. Perhaps a subreddit for this purpose, or a discord. I am not sure. This post is marked as "discussion" for a reason. We are a collective and thus maintaining our culture, our future, and the survival of the transgender people requires collective input. So... INPUT!
