flashback to when MLK Jr said the worst group in the US for black rights wasn't the lawmakers passing Jim Crow laws or the KKK but the white moderate.

I really detest the narrative of “going for low-hanging fruit”, of begging for progress in scraps and crumbs. I know we can get places by playing nice and taking part in the bureaucratic tea party. But every new time I have to smile politely and acquiesce and placate, I feel a burning urge to set the whole masquerade ball on fire.
I don’t want to assimilate. I want to rend the boundaries that dictate there is a standard to assimilate to.
gender and sexuality is a fickle thing. sometimes two gay cisgender men will be dating for decades and one of them will turn out to be a transgender woman. a lot of times that won't work out but sometimes it will. her partner may still choose to identify as gay. She might even identify as gay, and they continue to be happily in love. Queer politics isn't going to get any better if you don't accept that situations like that happen every day.
