My brown skin means most social environments are automatically more dangerous.

My sex characteristics mean I am less likely to be heard, respected, and valued.

My gender orientation is largely unknown and misunderstood.

My sexual orientation is still considered "confused" by many on all sides.

My biology is programmed for respiratory and dental disease.

--All of which is infinitely better than being bombed from above, watching family and friends crushed by rubble to soothe the egos of just a few overreaching assholes.
