A Quote by Chelsea Manning

Visibility is not equality. — © Chelsea Manning
Visibility is not equality.
I believe that the trans movement is at a crossroads. We have achieved an unprecedented level of visibility in the last couple of years. However, that's not the same thing as equality.
Visibility is not, in itself, always a good thing, but when it is in the hands of those who need positive visibility, it can be.
Only a straight white person would have no concept of what visibility is. They've never contended with anything but visibility.
I've worked on high visibility shows that weren't always the best, and low visibility shows that I love but that didn't have the PR behind them.
One thing that is clearly not maximized by free markets is equality. I am talking not about that pale substitute for equality known as equality of opportunity but about equality itself.
Love will never be anywhere except where equality and unity are..... And there can be no love where love does not find equality or is not busy creating equality. Nor is there any pleasure without equality. Practice equality in human society. Learn to love, esteem, consider all people like yourself. What happens to another, be it bad or good, pain or joy, ought to be as if it happened to you.
Some residents, I suspect, may be politically motivated in suggesting that having two members of Congress lessens Montclair's clout. Quite to the contrary. I think it increases Montclair's visibility - as a matter of fact, Essex County's visibility.
I think there is much more queer visibility than there was when I was a kid. There is marriage, more trans visibility, and many more celebrities who are open about the sexuality. This was so not the case when I was a kid.
Equality is of two kinds, numerical and proportional; by the first I mean sameness of equality in number or size; by the second, equality of ratios.
By equality, one once understood equality in the very same sense in which the Bible speaks of equality: that we are all equal, inasmuch as we are created in the image of God.
At the end of the day, I think people are starting to realize that if you say you stand for equality, it has to be equality across the board. It can't just be equality for people who look like me, are my gender, think or love like me. It has to be equality for everybody.
It's annoying, but justice and equality are mates. Aren't they? Justice always wants to hang out with equality. And equality is a real pain.
When I speak of The Case for Equality I mean human equality; and that, of course, can only mean one thing: it means equality of income.
For example, justice is considered to mean equality, It does mean equality- but equality for those who are equal, and not for all.
In a world where inequality of ability is inevitable, anarchists do not sanction any attempt to produce equality by artificial or authoritarian means. The only equality they posit and will strive their utmost to defend is the equality of opportunity. This necessitates the maximum amount of freedom for each individual. This will not necessarily result in equality of incomes or wealth but will result in returns proportionate to service rendered.
I believe profoundly in the possibilities of democracy, but democracy needs to be emancipated from capitalism. As long as we inhabit a capitalist democracy, a future of racial equality, gender equality, economic equality will elude us.
