I stand with you because although I am cis, you are my people. My life and my communities are enriched by your existence, and so an injury to you is an injury to me.
"All witches are selfish, the Queen had said. But Tiffany’s Third Thoughts said: Then turn selfishness into a weapon! Make all things yours! Make other lives and dreams and hopes yours! Protect them! Save them! Bring them into the sheepfold! Walk the gale for them! Keep away the wolf! My dreams! My brother! My family! My land! My world! How dare you try to take these things, because they are mine!
I have a duty!"
- from "The Wee Free Men" (Discworld #30), by Terry Pratchet
