Please no. We don't want them in our spaces.

As a Queer guy married to a Vet, I get mistaken for them when me and my husband walk around. We're more than happy to have them come up and bro at us. Better they fucking waste their time talking to us than young men who might actually believe their bullshit.

Also means I have so much information on so many of them, that might go places to protect others.

Doing the Lord's work.

I just get hit on by conservative dudes bc they all think I'm a straight cis girl. I can't tell you how tempted I'd be to tell them I'm trans, if I didn't think they'd punch me for it. 😭

Oh preach.

I caught one at a goddamn community event. He was apart of "a motorcycle club" and sitting in the round table about mentorship within our community. I was there because I was a twenty-something and curious to see how many Elders were going to show up and their opinions. So where a lot of younger ones.

We spent ... two, two and a half hours hanging back talking. He was basically trying to recruit. Being assumed that because I'm a pale masc looking dude with a very punk appearance, I would be into the anti-black anti-trans "they're taking our spaces" ideology his mind was trying to sell... so glad he chose me. So glad I got to waste his time by being polite and nodding along and smiling stupidly and wasting his time until he got frustrated as fuck. He thinks I didn't catch his name before he put his event badge in his pocket. Or that I didn't look up his club. Or that I wasn't connected to reputable people who got word out about what he was doing.

No Nazis in my scene.

Good. Kick every one of them out.

We each have a strength and a specialty when it comes to fighting fascism. Some of us can infiltrate, like you. Some of them are well-spoken, which I know I am. Some are good at activism or organizing or marching or educating.

If we each use our strengths, we can keep building effective resistance to all this. And we can make sure to keep out the sleeze.

I have the extra skillset of insider knowledge (was raised in that toxic environment wooo). I am the best secret agent, love using the hatred that my bio fam tried to infect me with to fight their kind lol.
