Challenging Myths of Identity and Power

With the exception of being a cisgender male,

everything about how I was born has put me

at the current center of a damaging and widely accepted myth.

That myth is that gayness orbits around straightness,

transgender orbits around cisgender, and that all races orbit around whiteness.

And it is a myth that keeps money and power

in the hands of the few

instead of being invested in the lives of the free.

I appreciate this community so much because it's where I learned

to reject this myth.

I appreciate this community because together we are not just

going to question this myth,

we are going to destroy it.
