#keepthereceipts — Public Fediverse posts

I really need to stop reading all the trans-exclusionary stuff. It makes me angry. It makes me depressed. Frankly, my nervous system has filed a formal complaint.

Unfortunately, I also feel the need to document it. Screenshots. Dates. Names. Statements. The whole miserable little dossier.

Because one day, when the political weather changes, some of these people will suddenly insist they were always on our side. They will say they supported trans people, that they were merely asking questions, that they were always fighting for equality.

And I will remember.

Not because I enjoy keeping score. Not because I want revenge.

(I do enjoy both of these things, but...)

But because history has a nasty habit of being rewritten by people who know perfectly well what they said when it mattered.

I will not let that happen. Neither should you.

For future historians. For accountability. And because apparently somebody has to keep the fucking receipts.
