Choosing an agenda that supports the apparatuses of racial violence always pays better.

More conservative advocacy work often encourages portrayals of trans people as people who deserve rights. Deservingness, of course, corresponds to national racial, gender and ability norms.

I argue that legal equality has failed resistance movements aimed at transforming material conditions of violence, and that trans activists should take a decidedly different approach.

Many people who are drawn to work about racism and transphobia may be new to thinking deeply about colonialism and indigenous resistance in their North America.

It is a big world that we live in, and people have a choice to love who they love.

People have maybe, sometimes, said that I can, occasionally, be a teeny bit edgy and judgmental.

Spring. March fans it, April christens it, and May puts on its jacket and trousers.

I could never endorse any candidate because not one of them is saying that which would save America from the Wrath of Allah (God).

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable . . .
