'They can't erase us and they will never erase us,' Qween Jean said, alluding to the overwhelming transphobia engulfing American society and the White House's executive orders deliberately denying the existence of trans individuals.
'This is a moment for entertainment,' Gia love said. 'Let's really enjoy ourselves because the world, unfortunately, is against us and we need to use this opportunity to organize, mobilize, and come together.'
