The Official "Support Lexi" (and others affected) Thread

What you do doesn't make a difference to me one way or another, I'm not here to make moral judgements. That's why I posted about white people, not you. You don't have to justify anything just like I shouldn't have to justify adding my voice to the conversation.

I work with trans and undocumented youth every day.I understand the fear and the concern. I understand the threat and the policy implications. I care a lot. A lot of my work is unpacking things like white privilege and social constructs and to hear about what it's like for undocumented youth fearing they and their parents are about to be separated hearing about how the kids of the Pink Pussy Hat Ladies are sick of this country and presume they belong everywhere.

It's all real and important. It's not mean just because it's uncomfortable.

I'm this insufferable in person too.

I understand. You made valid points and I appreciate you adding your voice.

People that are undocumented are choosing to leave before having to be caught off guard and rounded up into those camps that have terrible conditions. Anecdotal but a friend of mines is sadden by the fact that a good chunk of her extended family is currently in the process of leaving and she won't be able to see them as normally as she used to.
