“if we don't accept our own destiny, a different kind of suffering takes its place: a neurosis develops, and I believe that that life which we have to live is not as bad as a neurosis. if I have to suffer, then let it be from my reality. a neurosis is a much greater curse! in general, a neurosis is a replacement for an evasion, an unconscious desire to cheat life, to avoid something. one cannot do more than live what one really is. and we are all made up of opposites and conflicting tendencies. after much reflection, I have come to the conclusion that it is better to live what one really is and accept the difficulties that arise as a result-because avoidance is much worse.”

"They hate us all": True! A helpful reminder that assimilation will not save you.

"They hate us all equally": False. An attempt to obscure the ways in which anti-queer policies are disproportionately targeted at trans women, especially trans women of color. A retread of that classic white feminist error of assuming all women have a "common oppression", which obscures race and class differences among women.
