[nalasimone]

We must be intentionally and unapologetic about being the interruption to system of the oppressor! You will not erase my narrative! It is our duty to fight! It is our win! It is our duty to love and protect each other! #sayhername #IslanNettles #blacktranslivematter #womensmarch2017 #notonemore #twoc (at The Capitol, Washington D.C.)

My sign reads: "I commit to living less violently. I commit to making every space I'm in safe for my BLACK TRANS & GNC fam. Because #BLACKTRANSLIVEMATTER. I'm for #BLACKTRANSLIBERATION." Too often we talk about the violence Black folks face from external forces; from the State, from white people, from an ontological positioning that negates our humanity. But what we don't talk about enough is the ways we harm and do violence to those most vulnerable in our own community. Black transwomen and gender nonconforming femme people are intimately familiar with State violence, intimately familiar with hateful and violent white people, but they are also intimately familiar with the violence Black cisgender people can exact as well. Our words enforce violent binaries, delegitimize trans & GNC bodies, and other them into nonhumans who's only purpose is our bewilderment. Our words police how we care for trans & GNC people, how we fight or don't fight for them, how we hold or don't hold their lives in our hearts and consciousness. Our words police how we love trans & GNC people, how we do or don't love them openly and honestly, how we do or don't condemn our love and lust for them to shadows, how we do or don't say unabashedly that we love and fuck trans & GNC people. Our words turn into actions,turn into fists and guns and knives, turn into death when we refuse to live honestly, when we refuse to see the humanity in our trans & GNC fam. Our words turn into death for trans & GNC people when we refuse to understand how trans liberation is Black liberation, how fighting for trans & GNC people is fighting for all Black people. So today, and every day forward, my commitment is to making sure that every space I'm in is safe for trans & GNC people. I'm committing to to centering their experiences in my work. I'm committing to living like trans liberation is Black liberation. I'm committing to fighting like trans liberation is Black liberation. Because it is. And I'm committing to challenging head on, everyone whose words are violent, whose actions are violent, whose politics and organizing are exclusive. Because I'm not living up to my beliefs if I dont. 💙
