Open Letter to HRC - Kit Yan

[QueerlyK]

Lol I don't know who did the editing...the zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, zoom in was totally distracting, but it was a beautiful message that was beautifully spoken.

Amazing.

i feel really bad about the shit i've heard about the HRC not supporting trans people. that sucks because my bank is affiliated with them & i just applied for a credit card which gives me reward points with them. i don't understand what the complete truth of their denial of Trans advocacy or support of our lives, i don't see why the HRC would want MY support any less just because i'm FTM. my money spends just like the next man, could someone please tell me what exactly was said in jest? -jakob

Fuck hrc

[MsTransactivist]

The HRC and the HRTO DON'T give a fuck about US!! I had to file a HRTO application and had to deal with the HRTO and i KNOW they DONT give a fuck about US!! Got questions?? Ask me???

[deskjobjocky]

They threw us under the bus lets start out own trans group. Call it Trangender IN Transistion for Trans Advocacy Toughness in effect T.I.T. for T.A.T

I just watched the HRC video and it is almost embarrassing how cardboard it seems. I seriously hope I would have had the same reaction had I not heard you first, because it's very obvious to me now. I read 99 cent greeting cards that looked more genuine.

[MoeTheFoe]

agreed with trent. that was an incredible thought provoking message. it makes me not even want to see the HRCs disgrace against the trans community. but i suppose i would be more influenced if i did.

[trannytrent]

kit, i just found this through a link on someone's blog. i just wanted to know how powerfully true your words rang in my ear. like you, i continue to be unhappy and unswayed by hrc's pathetic, transparent and tokenizing attempts at 'representing' the T.

Thank you, Kit! Just found this. I appreciate the reminder(s re:3rd Gender) to discuss my own gender bent identity issues -- I'll put it into the poetry book I'm compiling that will be out in July. You have really touched me today. Thank you so much, again.

Now I'll go look at the video you're commenting about. :/ Oi vey.

[painisfun]

I can't believe I just now found this, anyway this was wonderful. Great to find more trans slam poets out there

Kit, you are seriously one of the coolest people I've ever met. This is a fantastic piece. I can't wait to hear about the reactions when you take it out on the road. Thank you for this, and for all the amazing work you do.

This is powerful. Yeah Kit, you're totally right. Those people cannot claim to know you, or to know the people like you. Peace, and good luck.
