the human spirit survives within us

When I heard Pusha T (@kingpush) say on his track “Hear me clearly, if y’all niggas fear me just say ya’ll fear me, fuck all these fairytales” I was actually moved. As a Black, trans and non-binary human this society will have you thinking Im a fairytale, like we don’t exist within the confines of humanity, un-deserving of human decency. Today there are HUNDREDS of laws trying to outlaw trans peoples existence RIGHT NOW. Terrifying and horrific energy is being directed at the most vulnerable people in this society, our children.

This not the time to hide behind your discomforts around gender.

Some of you just may never understand it, the same way I’ll never understand why its difficult to see gender as simply a spectrum 🤷🏾‍♂️ Despite this gap in relating to one another, we can agree that we DO understand RESPECT.

#KitchenSinkRap is my offering to my community. We are indeed real and we are indeed feared because the grand possibilities of the human spirit survives within us.
