Hello.
Last month we discussed how you had captured institutions to withdraw care from trans children. Remember?
Such larks.
As I write this, the Cass Report has just been released. It’s a fascinating read. None of it stands up to even a few seconds of critical thought, but the way the press and politicians have reacted to it you’d think it was gold-plated, irrefutable proof that no person under the age of 25 deserves bodily autonomy.
Last time we spoke I said that I hope you enjoy the cruel world you have created.
Well, we’re there now.
The main thing the Cass Report has achieved is to demonstrate, without any room for deflection, that both the Labour Party and the Tories are our enemies. That trans liberation will not come from working within the democratic systems you have corrupted. That such systems are, in fact, anathema to trans life.

![You don’t get to know
Where I came from.
The fuck you need to know?
Trans 'cause of genetics? Gonna breed those away?
Trans 'cause of society? Gonna train the queerness out of us?
No, fuck you. There's no cure because we're not a sickness.
I won't help you arm yourself in your war against the diversity of life.
You say your pill can fix me? Others say your pill doesn't work. That it's poison because it is not the right treatment for my disease. I say your pill is poison, whatever it contains, because it was made to kill me.
So you don't get to know where I came from. Because I'm here now, and if you want me gone, drop the smile and come at me for real.
Just don't expect me to lie here and take it.

It’s nothing personal, really.
You must understand that long experience has taught me that at the first sign of dissent, their collective tolerance for me will turn to annoyance, then anger, or disgust.
It doesn’t matter what labels we share. Yeah, I’m trans, anarchist, queer, whatever. We pretend that these things mean we share common ground, that we owe each other loyalty. But that loyalty soon turns into excusing the worst behaviour among the most visible of us. Solidarity becomes a shield for abuse. Keeping things in the community, means covering up for the harm that we inflict on each other.
Those of us who point this out are targeted, ostracised, destroyed. We’re inconvenient. And over time, you convince yourself that our inconvenience means we are a threat.
It’s not the people exploiting others financially, materially, sexually, who need to be removed for the sake of the community.
It is us. The loud ones, pointing it out.
