We will plant the seeds of a community which will never die. We will nurture our community. Our community will spread and flourish.
We will love one another, and cisgender people cannot break that love. We will treat one another with kindness and compassion. We will give one another room to make mistakes, and space to grow. We will not fight amongst ourselves; we shall build.
We will respect one another, and we expect the same from cisgender people. It is never okay to misgender anyone. A trans person is always trans enough and has nothing to prove. Nonbinary people will always belong. There will be no gender policing. We will not be a culture of shame, but take pride in the support we offer one another.
We are gay, we are bisexual, we are straight, we are lesbians. We are everywhere. There is no corner of the world where a trans person can’t be found. Our allies will grow as we grow. We might not take over the world, but we will sure as hell enrich it.
