Weaponizing Honesty under the guise of calling out anti-racism and cancel culture to Hurt People with no platforms especially other BILAPOC+ and QTGNC Nobinary folks is Brutality, Violence and Erasure. Particularly for those of us that are on the ground organizing and doing the work and emotional labor and don’t have the emotional capacity to speak.

Honesty without Kindness is Brutality
Kindness without Honesty is Manipulation
Silence is Complicity is Betrayal is Violence only when you have Privilege and Platform

It’s virtue signaling and centering-self, ego-driven and trying to obtain power through anger and rage to gatekeep, gaslight and it invalidates and erases others.

If language matters, this language only perpetuates a language of coded internalized violence, racism and misogyny towards others and yourself. It’s divisive and only upholds and fuels the systems you’re trying to dismantle and only derails and creates hostile environments and upholds the mainstream narrative about us.

Pause, take a breath and respond instead of reacting
THINK before you Speak
Ask yourself:
Is what I am saying

THOUGHTFUL
HONEST
INTELLIGENT
NECESSARY
KIND

If not, let your silence be your resistance for our collective liberation.

Be KIND for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. Including yourself.
