Raquel Willis, a prominent advocate for trans rights, has been at the forefront of protests against violence towards Black trans lives and initiatives against anti-trans legislation. Through her role with the Gender Liberation Movement, she connects the struggles for bodily autonomy and trans rights, emphasizing the dangers of restrictive gender norms. Willis believes living authentically as a trans person is her biggest risk and aims to unify various civil rights movements. Despite challenges posed by past and current political climates, she promotes calmness and resilience in the continued fight for justice.
Our society is not primed to honor queerness or transness, and restrictions on choices surrounding our bodies pose a danger to everyone, no matter how you identify.
Gender liberation is about bodily autonomy, self-determination, the pursuit of fulfillment, and collectivism, and we want to be the glue between these different fights.
