Okay, firstly, I love women. I think that the immense support, love and loyalty we show towards one another is absolutely astounding. Every single day, I am inspired and amazed at how kindness prevails amongst us. Whether it's the woman who offered me a tampon in the bathroom when I exclaimed that I had none or the woman who stood up for me when I was sexually harassed, you are all angels and I am so proud that you are on this planet. I love how we can put our differences aside and stand up for each other.
Secondly, to all of my trans sisters who feel excluded on days like this, I need you to remember that your identity is valid, you are a woman. No doubt about that. You use whichever bathroom you want, wear whatever you want and honestly just live however you want. I am deeply sorry that there are people out there who want to drag you down. I love you and I need you to stay strong and slay my sister!
Thirdly, to women of colour everywhere, wow. Honestly, wow. You are warriors, titans and soldiers. You are champions and heroes who face and have faced endless amounts of scrutiny and yet you have risen above all that hatred and have consistently been a voice of a nation. You will not be silenced. I love you and I promise that I will use my privilege to help you, whenever, wherever.
Lastly, to my queer women, you rock! In a day and age where we seem to have regressed fifty years, you have been lights in the darkness that have moved us forward. As a bisexual woman myself, I am unapologetically proud of our community. Remember my lovely ones, white gay men are not the only beacons of hope within our society. Fill this world with all your love and pride. I love you.
Women are powerful and strong, we are intelligent and beautiful and we are worthy of respect and equal rights. We will fight until the day we die in order to achieve something. We will not rest. We will persist, we will persist, we will persist.
Viva! Viva! Viva!
