A letter to “Ted” Cruz Rafael Cruz I am one of your constituents in Texas. I am a Puerto Rican woman who emigrated to the US when she was four years old with her family. I say emigrated because I am a US citizen. That seems to be something that matters to you And to your party. 🧵👇🏽 - ThreadSky

A letter to “Ted” Cruz
Rafael Cruz I am one of your constituents in Texas. I am a Puerto Rican woman who emigrated to the US when she was four years old with her family. I say emigrated because I am a US citizen. That seems to be something that matters to you And to your party. 🧵👇🏽

However, I’m not going to talk about the difference between immigration and emigration, but rather I want to bring up something that is much more relevant to our mutual heritages. It is often said that Puerto Ricans and Cubans are two wings of the same bird, and I think that is beautiful 🧵2

However, Rafael, I am ashamed to share the bird with you. I refuse to call you Ted the way that you refuse to abide by preferred names and preferred pronouns for trans folks. 🧵3

You are so adamant in pushing legislation that excludes the trans community and reinforces a regime and administration that seeks to erase trans people from existence, and yet you like to use your preferred name of Ted because it makes you sound more American. 🧵4

Yet you challenged Beto for changing his name, saying he wanted to sound more Latino by changing his name. You can’t have it both ways, Rafael. So I’m using the name that you were assigned at birth like so many trans folks this administration is forcing to use rather than their preferred names 🧵6

and identities.

I want to bring up the fact that you are a Latino, Rafael, and yet you don’t care about your people. I have never known or seen someone who hates himself and his people so much (except Enrique Torres, the leader of the Proud Boys, who is also a Cuban) 🧵7

that he supports someone who calls his countrymen and fellow Latinos, murderers, rapist, criminals and says they came from sh*t hole countries. Let me remind you that Cuba is a sh*t hole country according to the current president.🧵8
