They want to see a trans person out in the street who's just desperate for any little thing that you'll give me, because then they have control over us.

When we're desperate, we have control.

Like when women weren't able to work out of the home and couldn't have their own bank accounts and certainly couldn't make decisions about their own bodies, but they were stuck in these marriages that they couldn't get out of, they were desperate.

And so then they then, you know, then you're not thinking about getting your freedom or trying to be prosperous.

You're just thinking about how am I going to have a roof over my head?

Well, I better do what this man says.

And then we saw women were marrying people that they would have never wanted to marry just to have money.

a place to live.

And they were like, okay, I'll raise kids.

I'm not disparaging having a family.

People do that and they love it and all these different things.

I didn't have no kids.

But there were certainly women who were like queer or whatever they were in the 50s who were stuck in these relationships, who didn't want to be in these relationships.

And then they were going to key parties and swinging at night because they were like, I got to do something.

And that was like a widespread thing.

Well, it's not as big anymore, I think, at least not on the surface, because people can make their own decisions.

And they're trying to roll that back because they see these men in power see that when people can make their own decisions, they're not desperate.

And then they then then they're not paying attention to us and uplifting our mediocrity.

Hello.

Thank goodness for that.
