“A country is only as strong as its most vulnerable people...You know from our own library that bad people always go after transvestites first, no matter the country or culture. They are the first ones removed when an environment turns poisonous. What makes it more worrisome is you represent everything. You represent housing and job security and access to healthcare. You represent workers' rights and voting rights and full stomachs and freedom. And perhaps most importantly of all, you represent the right to body and personhood. You represent a country not owning you, not using you however benefits a select few at the top. You represent a country of a people, not a country of the dominant. If transvestites are under attack, then the whole of the country is on the brink of destruction. If transvestites are cared for, the resto f us are cared for. You touch everything a strong society has to offer. We could work, we could eat, we could be healthy, we could live in safe homes, we could decline to fight in unnecessary wars. Our country would be honest. We would no longer be tricked. Our country would take care of us and we, in turn, would take care of our country. So as long as transvestites are okay, we know society is, too. That's why I'm here for you. Because I love my country.”
Milo Todd, The Lilac People

“Survival means nothing, Bertie. Just like death means nothing. To die doesn't mean that one has given up or quit or wasn't strong enough. To survive doesn't mean one is smarter or better or stronger. It's neither fate nor luck. All it is, is horrible.”
Milo Todd, The Lilac People

“When people hurt bad enough, they’ll grab any idea to make their own lives better, no matter how illogical.”

“I'm worried I'll be mad forever."
"Then be mad forever," Bertie said.
He sounded unsure. "But I have so much anger."
"Because much has been done upon you," Sofie said. "The Nazis have made us scared of anger, made us believe that anger is bad. Anger is not bad. Anger is how we tell ourselves that we've been wronged, that we've been mistreated, and that it's not okay. Anger is a beautiful emotion. We just need to express it properly.”
Milo Todd, The Lilac People

“A country is only as strong as its most vulnerable people. And you, son, if you may forgive me for saying, are on the lowest rung of the ladder. You’re a canary, Bertie.”
Milo Todd, The Lilac People
