LETTERHEAD
THE REVOLUTION OF SMALL THINGS
Dear Jane Doe*, I’ve known about you ever since you wrote that moving letter to Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, pleading for your release. It marked your one-month anniversary being forcefully held in an adult prison by Commissioner Joette Katz without a crime committed or charges filed. Since then, 22 more days have passed and you — a 16-year-old trans girl of color– are still in prison. I want you to know that anniversaries are not supposed to be marked in this way, with a teenage girl pleading for her own freedom. You’re supposed to celebrate anniversaries with your beloveds sharing cake and laughs. Not behind bars spending 22 hours a day by yourself, with the screams and cries of adult prisoners as your only soundtrack. But, from what I’ve tearfully read in your unflinchingly raw affidavit, all you’ve known is strife, struggle and trauma — reflective of the unyielding paths marginalized girls like us have journeyed on. Our lives have always been full of highs and lows. Right now, the community is on a high with the release of a TIME cover story which celebrates the mainstream visibility of Laverne Cox and the “tipping point” of the transgender movement. Our community is also navigating some lows: Our sisters Janelle and Tyra were viciously attacked on an Atlanta train for being black and trans and women in public; the Anti-Violence Project released its latest hate violence report, reiterating that trans women of color are the most susceptible to brutal violence; and Monica Jones still awaits justice after being wrongfully arrested and profiled. What I also find disheartening is the activism surrounding Monica Jones, Andraya Williams and you have garnered a mere fraction of the uproar, headlines and debate that the word “tranny” has garnered. You remind me of her. I read that despite the world being so unkind to you, from living in hostile unstable homes, surviving sexual abuse and being wrongfully criminalized, you greet visitors with smiles. You are the epitome of resilience and grace, and like Maya Angelou, you are my rainbow in the clouds. If you can receive gifts, I’d like to send you I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. It was a book that helped me find my voice and let me know that I was not alone and that I was not the first girl to have her body violated. That book fed me. Reading was my escape from cruel realities, and maybe books can be the same for you — or maybe you have other outlets, like art, music or fashion. I smiled when I read that one of your dreams is to go to prom someday. It reminded me that despite the heaviness of the world, you are a young person who has never asked for much. I had similar dreams at 16, and went to my prom alone. I turned it out in a gorgeous cream-colored lace dress with hair high enough to reach the Gawds. When you’re uncaged, I would love to take you prom dress shopping. If there is no prom to attend, we can create our own, eating cakes, sharing laughs, dancing to Beyonce, Janet or Grace, celebrating the anniversary of your freedom. We’re gonna show them what truly free queens look like. In love, struggle and sisterhood, Janet
