Fight The Fascists!

My name is Jynx Geneviève de Lygh. 
I'm honored to stand before you. 
I'm honored to be a Trans Woman, 
and honored to be worthy of my platform.

Strange, 
I... feel as if I can see it. 
I was six, I think, first time I knew I was trans. 
Witnessed our struggle, 
felt our history, 
holding my best friends’ hands as we walked into an uncertain future. Where trans youth stand now, 
I've been more times than I can remember.

I always wanted to be lifted. I was always eager, always waiting to be inspired. 
I remember every time it happened, 
Every trans day of remembrance
every time the dead lifted me... 
with their truth. 
And now I fear I’m there, and I yearn to lift you. 
Not because I want to shine or even be remembered. 
It's because I want you to go on. I want trans lives to continue. 
In my darkest hours, that’s what comforts me most.

But I fear for you. 
We've been sleeping. 
We've had each other, our community, our work, our days. 
We had each other and they left us alone. 
We satiated their perverted lusts, and they left us alone. 
We took their money and ignored them, 
we kept their economy churning, 
and the moment they pulled away; we forgot them. 
Because we had each other. We had our community. 

But we were sleeping. 
I've been sleeping. 
And I've been turning away from a truth I wanted not to face.

There is a wound that won't heal at the center of our world. 
There is a darkness reaching like rust into everything around us. 
We let it grow, and now it's here. 
It's here and it's not visiting anymore. 
It wants to stay.

The conservative evangelist fascism is a disease that thrives in darkness. 
It is never more alive than when we are asleep. 
It's easy for the damned to tell you to fight, 
and maybe it's true, 
maybe fighting is useless. 
Perhaps it's too late. 
But I'll tell you this, 
if I could go back in time,
and do it again, 
I'd wake up early and fight these fascist bastards! 

Fight the Fascists!
Stay Woke!
