Acts of revolution

dappercat:

Every trans voice I hear in music is a revolutionary act to me.

Every one of us I see with an instrument in hand, hear singing out and making something fucking beautiful lifts my heart and helps me realise this isnt’ an avenue that fucking closed to me when I realised who and how and what I was.

Every trans voice I find in print and in blog is a revolutionary act to me.

Everyone of us I see writing some kickarse fiction and making our lvies real, or laying down the theory and the praxis and giving no fucks for the derailment and the attacks and the bullshit of daring to be us in the world and have an opinion is an outright flag of defiance waving and daring me not to keep silent.

Every set of trans hands I see put paint to canvas, pencil to paper, stylus to tablet, hands to clay are a revolutionary act to me.

Because every act of self expression in a world that would rather we shut the fuck up, and that often does its best to make us - is revolution.

Reblogging, because every day I have to remind myself I have a right to exist, against the force of the world.
