Rye BC for Denali
A monotonous tone echoes throughout the country.
We stand shell shocked
a misogynist erases our names
In the Name of protecting women.
“Gender” is being replaced with sex
Many of the “women” he speaks of
do not want this protection
but what about our trans sisters – Are you protecting them as well?
Of all the catastrophes to address;
poverty, exploitation, violence, inequality
Why spend so much time
Erasing words from national documents and websites
…forbidding pronouns from emails…
Why be so redundant?
“Out of sight out of mind”
does not work here.
We will never stop existing
You cannot erase existence.
Dear Mr president,
No one will stop talking about us.
Because we will not stop talking.
