A
It's
incredibly,
I'm
just
feeling
so
many
emotions
right
now
standing
here,
because
I
am
remembering
the
depth
and
intensity
of
emotion
when
the
boss,
when
the
city
of
boston
has
had
to
step
up
with
our
community
members
in
times
of
great
stress
and
danger,
when
we
were
gathered
outside
on
the
steps,
not
too
many
years
ago,
to
raise
the
trans
equality
flag
for
the
first
time
ever
in
massachusetts,
vowing
that
we
would
not
take
it
down
until
the
state
legislature
acted
and
passed,
public
accommodations
protections
or
when
we've
rallied
time
and
again
or
when
we've
been
together
at
marches,
demonstrations
fighting
for
basic
dignity.
A
B
Thank
you
so
much
mayor
wu
for
the
introduction
and
good
morning.
Everyone
as
mayor
wu,
said
my
name
is
chastity
bowick.
I
use
she
her
and
her
pronouns
and
I
am
the
executive
director
of
the
transgender
emergency
fund
of
massachusetts,
which
is
dedicated
and
supporting
low-income
and
homeless
transgender
folks
across
the
state
of
massachusetts.
B
We
have
transgender
individuals
who
are
being
beaten,
gang,
raped
and
attacked
in
the
city
of
boston,
but
we're
not
important
enough
to
make
the
news,
but
with
this
new
office
I'm
hoping
that
they
will
be
backing
the
trans-emergency
fund
backing
bagley
backing
mass
trans
political
coalition.
While
we
serve
these
members
who
are
only
asking
for
basic
survival
needs
and
instead
of
getting
that
they're
being
discriminated
against
in
this
great
city
of
boston,
so
I
know
moving
forward.
B
This
is
the
right
step
in
the
right
direction
and
I'm
so
grateful
for
this
administration
for
making
this
happen,
and
it's
this
public
knowledge
since
we're
all
here
together
that
you
know,
tf
will
be
one
of
the
organizations
that
will
hold
this
office
accountable
in
making
sure
that
things
are
getting
done
for
this
community
and
again.
Thank
you
all
for
coming
out.
Thank
you
again
mayor.
Will
I
appreciate
you,
you.

the
intersection

those
identities.
It
is
so
important

so

others
have

effort

make
