… Is the one that talks about the invisibility of the truth of whichever victims of the Pulse shooting were transgender, that will now be almost certainly deadnamed, misgendered, and buried who knows how and by whom.

Is the one that mentions how trans women are being erased from this when they were the ones who were fucking hosting the event alongside gay men.

Is the one that talks about how many people, including – and especially! – LGBT whites, are obviating the racial factors in all this.

Is the one that reminds us of how many LGBT muslims are being hurt both by non-Muslim LGBT people, and cishet muslims. Or, honestly, by everyone who’s not an LGBT Muslim.

Is the one that talks about how many of the people that we lost recently were praying to be invisible while hiding, just minutes or seconds before their killer found them.

Every other mention of invisibility that escapes this type of sentiment, is just ultimately cruel and inhumane.
