some people feel like being loud and proud and making the cisses uncomfortable is inherently praxis/revolutionary in some sense. I don't think it really is, but I had leaned that direction in the past (from a position of complete comfort/hypocrisy...)

Nowadays I think what's much more important than physically standing out at all times is maintaining community, political consciousness, solidarity with other oppressed groups, etc. It turns out that rainbows and drag shows and all that stuff can be coopted by capital, but true, unflinching solidarity with all oppressed people, that cannot.

Something like that anyhow, I sound more confident than I am

I still often feel like safety, both real and perceived, can be invoked to justify a lot of bad shit (calling the cops, increasing surveillance, breaking solidarity, etc), but presentation is a personal choice that doesn't involve making society worse for others.
