I met Amber when I moved across the street from her. As I got to know her, I learned some things about myself.

Der Kampf für Gerechtigkeit und trans* Rechte? – ein Kampf für uns alle! Eine Rose ist eine Rose ist eine Rose ist eine Rose… Sprache, Identität und vor allem: Empathie Der Name einer Sache verkörpert deren Bild, unsere Vorstellung davon und die damit verbundenen Gefühle. Oder: Eine Sache wird zur Sache durch ihre Benennung. Doch wie können wir diesen einfachen Gedanken auf unsere Umgebung übertragen? Phenix Kühnert ist sich sicher: mit Empathie.
