So, I've come to realize something terrifying, and that's the idea that I could just disappear one day for reasons outside of my own control, and people will just forget about the things I've said, and the works I've made. How do I preserve it? I think I know a way.
If I do disappear for any reason, like, for real disappear with no chance of returning, then I think the only way for my works and my words to be preserved is through others archiving them in my place. ...But, I don't really have enough of a following for that, do I?
They want trans people like me gone, and they want our lives works, our words, or even memories of us, erased. You probably know who "they" are. That's why I have to have faith in my fellow human beings, that my passion cannot be extinguished along with me.
So please, this is one of my biggest wishes. Don't let my works disappear if I myself get disappeared for sticking out too much. The idea of that happening is too much for me to bear.
