we are a culture, we have many cultures, we form a community, many communities, disparate and overlapping and disjoint but all sharing in our transness and using our connections to empower us
together we can make art and music, we work shitty jobs, we work good jobs, we work no jobs at all, we love and we cry and we rage and we share each other's love and pain and hold each other close and keep each other safe
sometimes our transness is messy, and sometimes we fight, and sometimes us all, we people all trans together, we don't get along. but we're together nonetheless, together in a world beautiful and awful and bleeding with honey and venom, and we live together and we die together, in spite of it all, in praise of it all, in joy and sadness and in suffering our bones sink into the ground together and a garden grows over us so that our people can live in Eden forever
