Some choice quotes:

We dismantle the patriarchal practice that requires mothers to work “double shifts” so that they can mother in private even as they participate in public justice work.

We disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure requirement by supporting each other as extended families and “villages” that collectively care for one another, especially our children, to the degree that mothers, parents, and children are comfortable.

We foster a queer‐affirming network. When we gather, we do so with the intention of freeing ourselves from the tight grip of heteronormative thinking, or rather, the belief that all in the world are heterosexual (unless s/he or they disclose otherwise).

Does this sound like the long way to say "Transgender story time with kids" to anyone else but me?

The first two points are especially interesting when taken together. Rather than families bonding together with each other, they want children under the authority of the 'village' collective. And that collective care will 100% be withdrawn for wrongthink or really whatever reason the 'village' decides. It's better this way, because patriarchy and white supremacy and whatever.
