“I’m fascinated by this idea that the parliament has become too focused on ‘woke issues’ at the expense of what the public really care about, because the implication of that is that any minority group that needs protected aren’t the public, the public are whatever the majority group is. If we govern on the basis of that, we would only be governing for straight, white, middle-aged men, who deserve good government like everybody else.”

“They say, “We’re here to help.” You don’t know what help is. Try walking a mile in my shoes. Fuck walking a mile— why not wear my shoes, throw on my hair, wear this tight-ass dress, tuck my dick and balls into a gaff, child, and then run in front of police, jump over cars, and then snatch off your hair, put on different clothes, change your shoes and then walk down that same street past the motherfucker that was looking for you in the first place. Then you can give me some shit about who the fuck I am.”

“Cookie Concepcion, one activist leader we worked with at Central California Women’s Facility (CCWF), speaks to the fraud of “gender responsiveness” in a Feministing.com blog post dated May 13, 2008. Explaining how the prison doesn’t allow female-assigned prisoners to wear boxers, Cookie writes, “Lately a lot of time and money has been spent on mandatory ‘Gender Responsive’ training for all officers and staff. The objective of this training is to define differences between female and male inmates. The basic ideology is that females commit crimes because they are victims, whereas males are just bad and mean. This must be where they learned how dangerous it is for females to wear boxers.”

“Look, ay / Tell me whatcha know about a mental prison / Locked up so tight I got dementors in it / Life sentencing / The government wanna meddle in my mental business / People feel the need to preach God when they settling the devil's business / How interesting— (That's what God teaches) / Maybe if you did a little introspection / You'd wanna join in on the insurrection / Led by a little girl with the biggest death wish / I been calling out for help / Did ya get my message? / Did you get my texts bitch? / Greg Abbott killing little kids just 'cause they live in Texas / Tell a bigot they can get to stepping / Give a fuck about the sovereignty / Of a nation that don't give respect / To the people like me who go and give 'em checks / So tell every politician that DAMAG3 sent ya / And they neck is next bitch”
