It’s half way through Pride month, and I am exhausted.

I really struggle with having ‘months’ for deliberately disadvantaged aspects of human identity. Marking and remembering the Stonewall Riot, and the 2SLGBTQIA+ rights it paved the way for, is important. It is particularly important to remember that it was led by Black and Brown Trans Women. But as long as we have a month for it, it means we are still trapped in a Gregorian calendar of colonial, capitalist hell where that group is more likely to be exploited than truly celebrated.
