How am I still alive?

Dr. Ryland Grace was arguably the perfect backup candidate for his mission. Stratt got that right. He had no children, no life partner, no family, not even a dog. All he had was his students and that was enough for him, but that made him replaceable.

Right?

Not only were Grace’s wishes completely ignored, his life and his value as a person was undermined. Simply because he had no one but his students to care for his wellbeing, because he wouldn’t have someone at home waiting for him to come back.

Aroace people deal with similar treatment simply because romance and sex are seen as essential to the human experience, completely disregarding any and all other types of connection. One’s inherent value as a person is not lost when they choose to live life without romantic or sexual relationships. One’s value is simply in existing.

Aroace people know this well, which is why so many have become so attached to Ryland as a character. Many of us see his way of life as the end goal for ourselves, so any one of us would have been seen as just as dispensable, by Stratt and by society as a whole.

Patron of the queers, the liberator, protector of the discriminated.

With the very concerning amount of anti-trans masculinity and intersexism going around at the moment, I’d like to remind everyone that we have our gods, we’ve been here as long as they have and we I’ll continue to be here as long as they are. Masculinity is not evil, intersex peoples bodies and their gender identity cannot be ignored.

Take that rage, that pain, that mistreatment and use it as a motive to fight. You get called “crazy” or “insane”? So be it. Does the liberated mad god concern himself with petty insults? No. Neither should you. Every slur you’re called, every disgusting remark about your body that is made, every invalidation of your experiences, fight it. Scream back at them, defend yourself, defend your people.
