So, I wrote this to someone in a dm, but want to highlight it publicly:
what CJ & I have been trying to emphasize in the wake of Mira’s death is ‘GIVE TRANS WOMEN ROSES WHILE THEY’RE HERE’- so many people have said that they wished they had not been shy & reached out to her, or had chatted more or managed to meet in person or just tell her how much her work meant- and she was there the whole time, very publicly available on twitter & Instagram and frankly lonely a lot. And this is a pattern we’ve seen play out over and over and over with trans women’s deaths- SO: send the email, write the tweet, slide in the dms, whatever, the worst thing anyone will do is ignore it or say they can’t talk rn, and you have only sisterhood & knowing you showed another girl that she is seen and she matters to gain.
