Just back from a lovely memorial for #MissMajor which would have been lovelier if the FUCKING TRIO OF YOUNG CHILDREN SITTING BEHIND ME HADN'T TALKED THROUGHOUT
Parents and caretakers, MIND YOUR FUCKING KIDS

To Honor Miss Major, We Fight for the Trans and Queer Spaces She Built
Miss Major Griffin-Gracy embraced the messiness of revolt with magnetic optimism. -
It's not wrong to feel like the world is fucked up beyond repair, but... you can try to repair what you can, using whatever skills you might have.

Vale Mama Major. You were the face of Kindness, of Survival, and of Resistance
Rest in Power.
_____
From the Transgender Law Centre Facebook:
We are heartbroken to share that our beloved elder, mother, and revolutionary, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, has passed away.A lifelong freedom fighter, Miss Major dedicated her life to uplifting trans women of color, incarcerated people, and all those abandoned by systems of power. From the uprising at Stonewall to decades of community care and organizing, she showed us what it means to love fiercely and live unapologetically.
Her impact reaches every corner of our movements, every trans person who dares to exist, resist, and thrive carries her light.
Rest in power, Miss Major. We love you, we honor you, and we will carry your spirit forward in every fight for liberation. 💜

The video starts with a trans person, Erin, talking about Zohran Mamdani's new political ad for Mayor of New York.
It throws to the ad, which shows Mamdani sitting at a desk in a park, wearing a neat suit. While he's talking a number of old pictures of New York from the 70s and 80s show, along with photos of Sylvia Rivera.
It cuts back to Erin talking about the ad again.

RIP Miss Major Griffin-Gracy. The legendary trans activist died on Oct. 13, surrounded by her loved ones, according to an announcement from her nonprofit, The House of gg. Here's @19thnews's tribute to her. “When younger people call me mother, or grandmother, I feel as though it’s an honor. To them, it’s like, ‘Here’s an older trans woman who survived, and who’s out there still raising hell,’" she told Toshio Meronek, who collaborated with her on her 2023 memoir. “When you are constantly under attack, especially if you’re in this community, you can’t just retire and walk off into the sunset. You’ve got to stay and teach young people to fight.”

"[M]ost people don’t know what Pride is about. The anguish, and the hurt, and the reason why Pride started in the first place—it was an anti-cop event. Look, yes—I know there are trans police officers. You have Black people who are police officers, and women police officers. All that’s cute, but guess what: It’s blue first, your other allegiances second. Once you get on that blue, child, it goes straight through to your brain, dyes your brain blue, and you’re no longer whoever the fuck you were before. So no, they don’t need to be there. That’s where their loyalty lies. So stay the fuck away from me."

"Sure, she was at Stonewall. But that’s hardly the only achievement that harm reductionist and trans rights advocate Miss Major Griffin-Gracy has under her belt. The 82-year-old community organizer drove San Francisco’s first needle exchange van back in the day. In her time at the Tenderloin AIDS Resource Center, Major founded a 24-hour drop-in center named GiGi’s PLace that she stocked with comfy couches and mirrors so that her gurls (preferred nomenclature for her trans sisters) could do their face before heading out for a shift of sex work."
