Reckoning: There is No Bodily Autonomy Without Gender Liberation
Conservatives want to control and own our bodies. We canβt let them.
On #TransDayofVisibility, it is an honor to announce @yesmedia.bsky.social's newest columnist: @raquelwillis.com! Every quarter, Raquel will be using her column, RECKONING, to offer wisdom about how we can all move beyond visibility to become true gender liberationists.

It's immoral to be silent in the face of injustice.

βNo Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear: In times of dread, artists must never choose to remain silent.β by Toni Morrison; excerpt reads:
βDictators and tyrants routinely begin their reigns and sustain their power with the deliberate and calculated destruction of art: the censorship and book-burning of unpoliced prose, the harassment and detention of painters, journalists, poets, playwrights, novelists, essayists. This is the first step of a despot whose instinctive acts of malevolence are not simply mindless or evil; they are also perceptive. Such despots know very well that their strategy of repression will allow the real tools of oppressive power to flourish. Their plan is simple:
1. Select a useful enemyβan βOtherββto convert rage into conflict, even war.
2. Limit or erase the imagination that art provides, as well as the critical thinking of scholars and journalists.
3. Distract with toys, dreams of loot, and themes of superior religion or defiant national pride that enshrine past hurts and humiliations.β

That "intellectual diversity" and "free speech" were trojan horses for right-wing power-grabs has been obvious from the start and I remain disappointed how many supposedly rational folks took bad-faith actors at their word.
