Terrifying
Earlier this month, in an interview with Spain’s Cadena SER Radio, Curtis opened up about threats her 26-year-old daughter receives for being trans.
Curtis said, “I have a trans daughter. There are threats against her life, just her existence as a human being. There are people that want to annihilate her and people like her.
.@jamieleecurtis "Tengo una hija trans. Hay amenazas contra su vida sólo por existir como ser humano. Hay gente que quiere aniquilarla, a ella y a gente como a ella" Alto y claro ¿Alguien va a parar este odio y sinrazón, o solo cuando ya sea demasiado tarde?

“The level of hatred, as if we haven’t learned from fascism, like we haven’t learned what the result of that is; the extermination of human beings.
“That is terrifying. So, Jamie Lee Curtis is scared and you should be too, and Jamie Lee Curtis has a voice and she’s trying to use it and you should too. And that’s how we change things is we think about them, we learn about them, and then we use our voices to bring attention to them, and to fight against them.”
