Now’s as good a time as ever to remind folks that #intersex folks have organs ripped from our bodies without our consent on the daily.

You can’t take organs from a corpse without the deceased’s written permission, even if it will save lives. When you outlaw abortion, you’re allowing women less bodily autonomy than the dead.

As the Governor and certain State reps (yet again) use children as a political pawn, they conveniently leave out that the same procedures they're attempting to block for trans kids are forced on #intersex kids without their consent.

He carried the gun because from Portland to Charlottesville, we've seen racist vigilantes drive cars into crowds of protestors and he sought to protect himself and others in case that were to occur—which it did, this weekend in Austin.

Intersex and trans rights aren’t oppositional to one another; it’s about consent. Trans children shouldn’t be blocked from the same procedures intersex kids have forced upon us.

@queersurgeon Legislation targeting the trans community also affects intersex folks but uses coded language. Memos and bills often refer to intersex people as having "disorders of sex development", contributing to stigma and making it harder for the media / public to know they're about us too.

The title of pieces from @washingtonpost to @nytimes have all referenced that he carried a gun as he was mown down. This is slanting the story away from what's important and into the hands of the opposition, seeking to vilify protestors despite the fact that they too own weapons.

But I won't let his message die with him. Garrett showed up because he knew #BlackLivesMatter and wanted everyone else to know it too. He was the ultimate ally, dying for his cause, and he deserves more respect than skewing his message to quell the fire he sought to instigate.

That the majority of articles hinge on whether or not he had a gun, whether or not he pointed it at the individual that drove into a group of humans or elsewhere misses the point and turns Garrett's sacrifice into fodder for the evil forces he dedicated his life to fighting.
