OMG Constance!! Did you hear about the massive protests and riots going on in Philadelphia because of the death of a woman of color???
Yeah…neither did I.
After all…she was only a woman.
A woman of color.
Oh…and she was trans.
Just another piece of trash collected for the patriarchy. http://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/transgender-woman-stabbed-to-death-in-philadelphia?utm_term=.yfzwq8GpK#.pnOnBKk8L 
But while I am on the topic of killing transwomen? If you slur me with your words…if you other me with your actions…if you lie to yourself about who I am…if you call me “engenderer”, “mask”, “monster”, “other” (a literal “othering”)…
…you do not get to call yourself a trans-advocate.
Words hurt, wound irrevokably…but silence slays the heart.
Charissa's Grace Notes 
I’m so scared that as this type of thing continues to happen and sort of shows up regularly in some feeds that people will get desensitized to it. (More than they already are.) 😦
Yet the alternative is to be silent, and then we are ignored… No, Sissa we must take courage and be outrageously graceful while being graciously outraged! Protest with the determination of Ghandi and the compassion of Mother Teresa
I know- and that’s why I keep sharing….. I’m not sure I’ve mastered the gracious graceful part but I’m amazing at being outrageously outraged. 🙂
Lololol!
I think I’m only half joking. lol
