“This is where I go off-script because I dropped my pen in the grate.”
“I’m angry because trans kids deserve so much better than to be measured as the sum of our deaths. We deserve so much better than to be measured alongside the impact of our hypothetical suicides. I don’t want any more trans kids to think that they will only be loved once they’re dead. I don’t want to lose any more friends that are then fought for once they’re dead. I want them to be fought for while they’re alive! I want you to fight with us, and I want you to fight behind us. I want you to fight for us.”

“We’ve had people talk about love and rage, and those things are so important to me. And for a long time I thought that they were two things that were sort of meant to balance each other out in an equilibrium.”
“But what I’ve found is that actually, the more love I have around me it serves as a foundation for my rage, and it empowers it. And I think that’s so important. But I still want to end talking about love. How much love I have for everyone here, and how much hope I have for what we’re going to build.”
