#Repost @chocolatinaruiz ・・・ WHY THE FIGHT OVER ABORTION IS UNRELENTING 🗣️🗣️ FRONT PAGE @nytimes okk?? Woke up today to so many beautiful ppl messaging me about it. Yeah it's good I'm glad for visibility and for the serenity I see in me in this picture, objectively. Subjectively those times of showing up in abortion regalia like this or the "shirt"- you know it's scary out there right? If you don't know wear the shirt and see. Even in New York, yes. Why is this useful? Abortion is normal abortion is health care. We were guided to take that abortion conversation and run way way away from everyone else to a place we didn't see much articulation in. We started in 2015. Today so many more of us! We are safer the more of us speak out. #AudreLordetaughtme: our silence will not protect us. The right will be using abortion as a murderous rally point increasingly going into election year. We must disarm them by funding abortion access funds and normalizing abortion. Also: My picture and TGFA in the Times kinda every day lately DOESN'T ANYONE THINK ITS TIME TO INTERVIEW ME I ALSO 🗣️TALK🗣️ 🗣️ GOT 🗣️ THINGS 🗣️ TO🗣️ SAY YES ITS GOOD I'M GRATEFUL Look at God. Every day more faith (intermittent hopelessness/ almost constant fatigue) That's how she made me. PROPS TO @middlechurch for standing all the way UP with TGFA! INVITING US IN. that's a big deal. Guess we started our dream #proabortion church tour right here in our hometown at the church I've gone to for years and first with the great #ChloeDzubilo. At this rally the Reverend Amanda @raisingimagination said thank God for abortion on the church steps at the very end on the megaphone and I felt a really nice energetic CLICK in my body. LOOK AT GOD 🕊️ One soul at a time. Amen! Today @revjacquilewis shouted me out and I felt like a star. Happy birthday Reverend! Been at your services many times! Love you thank you. HEY EVERYONE: DONATE TO @gwafund today. The last abortion clinic standing in Missouri is under attack. They don't stop! So we don't either.

Pass as What?

She was a blonde, leggy WASP from Connecticut who lived in a historic hotel with a grand piano in the lobby. Her skin was flawless and blonde peach fuzz glimmered on her arms in the right light. She showed horses on the A Circuit and was the wife of a famous NYC nightclub promoter. She was an East Village rock star and did cameos as herself in downtown art movies in the 90s. She vacationed in the Hamptons and designers Mark Jacobs and Alex Bittar loved to dress her. She was a member of the most elite club in Manhattan, hobnobbing with rock legends and movie stars. She sat on committees for mayor Bloomberg and launched a charity that gave horseback riding lessons on the Chelsea Piers to young girls living with AIDS. She ate raw or from Whole Foods and spent many hours a day pampering her hair and body.

She was a tranny living with AIDS in a welfare hotel. She worked, legally, for less than minimum wage in social services, subsidized by food stamps and public benefits. She had track marks and a Medicaid funded titanium hip. She wore second hand clothes and plastic bracelets ~ 10 for a dollar ~ that covered her hesitation marks. She spent a portion of her life in the hospital, often the Bellevue psych ward. She only left her 10 x 15 foot room to go to medical appointments, 12-step meetings or an event when someone remembered to put her on a list. She could only eat one or two easily digestible foods at any one time and spent the first half of the day doing what she could to relieve the pain in her body enough to get out the door.

She made beautiful paintings and cartoons, poems and prose that changed the way you mis-understood everything. She made every event and room that she walked into instantly glamorous. All of her widened the path to trans-euphoria and healed so many children.
