For now, I have decided to stay...provisionally.
But I am TIRED of not seeing the Trans community lifted up around here. How many of you knew that this WEEK was Trans Awareness Week? Gays get a month. Blacks get a month Trans gets a WEEK. It culminates with TDOR.
Imagine if, say, Black History Month (February) was to go by without the black community even once being lifted up around here? It would never happen of course, but just imagine it. That is what Trans feels like right now.
I know a lot has been going on and I AM SORRY we Trans could not have our Week at a time MORE CONVENIENT to everyone else. But I need to start seeing the trans community lifted up here. This isn’t REALLY about me, specifically..it is about my community not being held up, lifted up, valued...loved.
RECS are the only way we know we are being seen, heard...and cared about. Maybe we need something that will count VIEWS...i do not know. I do know we in the trans community are not feeling DA LOVE...and I do know that this year’s Trans Awareness Week has gone by without the Trans community being lifted up even once here on Daily KOs.
