The only moment I felt unsafe all day was when the police showed up. 🏳️⚧️That’s what Rose (they/them), our summer intern with PFLAG San Francisco and PFLAG Oakland East Bay, took away from this year’s Trans March. The day started with warm friendly faces, music, strangers who treated you like a friend the second they met you. Volunteers handed out water and snacks and looked out for each other.Then came the sirens. What arrived was officers, and a lot of them. In Rose’s words, the response didn’t feel proportional to the alleged crime.When Rose looks back on who actually kept people safe that day, the answer is the volunteers. The community. Each other.Send this to someone who thinks Pride is just a party. It started as a protest, and for a lot of trans folks, it still is one.@transmarch organizers have written a community letter to the city calling for real change. Read it, and add your name if it speaks to you. Link in our bio. To your trans loved ones: you’re not alone, and you’re loved.#PFLAGProud #PFLAGSF #TransMarch #ProtectTransYouth
