Focal point: up for interpetaion
If shadows was the only thing we could see
Yes shadows can be darker
Shadows can be lighter
Some are distorted
Some represent bigger or smaller images
But that doesn't really Change how you see them
If you see a woman, you see her skin, eyes, hair, clothes
When you look at her shadow, you see her outline.
The outline is her, and simply visual.
Yet you don't think twice
If someone is trans you might be able to tell from looking
Or not
But the shadow doesn't care
The shadow shows the outline of a person
They have no color, other than darkness
They have no gender
Shadows have no personality.
So when you want to join a hate group
Look at their shadow
Is it similar to yours..
A family member, or someone on the street
If the answer is yes, then can you judge?
