I see this going around on tumblr, about how “radical feminists are worth none of [our] time,” and I find it really leaves me feeling angry, and othered, and erased. I too am angry at so many betrayals from so many cis radfems. I am feeling too exhausted, and stressed out, and everything after an awful day that had me curled up in a ball at the doctor’s office, to really unpack why this makes me feel so awful. But it does. I know that’s not the intention, but that’s the result.

RADICAL FEMINISTS ARE WORTH NONE OF YOUR TIME
a litany of prayers to the self and the Trans Ancestors

In the names of the Mothers, Sylvia Rivera and Marsha Pay-It-No-Mind Johnson,
the Daughters, Venus Xtravaganza and Greer Lankton,
and the Holy Ghosts, Mark Aguhar and Candy Darling,
I pray for the strength to not let my attention be diverted,
from the artwork and lifework of those Beautiful Queens.
