Kai Cheng Thom takes a good, hard but loving look at the queer and social justice communities - both of which she considers herself part of - and airs out her thoughts in the form of constructive criticism.
In a time when terms like "social justice" is used mostly in a derogatory way and terms like "woke" are thrown around like slurs, it's actually really refreshing to read a voice, that treats this subject and these activist aspirations with respect and dignity. Kai Cheng Thom manages to articulate some ugly truths that a lot of people would rather turn a blind eye to, which ends up self-sabotaging a community that ultimately aims for fairness and equity.
There are a lot of really interesting points in here about, for example, how experienced trauma gets glorified and wielded as a weapon, about how the reductive, binary view of perpetrator and victim roles do not help understand and solve the root causes of violence, about the unproductiveness of a reactionary, punitive justice, and of course about the importance of compassion towards all members of society.
After all, we ultimately have to "transform systems that centre getting even into systems that prioritize getting better," as she writes.

You don't have to wholeheartedly agree with all of Thom's points but I believe there are a lot of thought-provoking and valid points to mull over in here, written with a voice that's caring and clearly hopeful.
