1. Our liberation is collective and our movement is intersectional. In addition to primarily opposing transphobia and queerphobia, we are against racism, fascism, ableism, misogyny, xenophobia, antisemitism, and bigotry in any form.
2. We do not condemn the tactics that individuals in this movement choose to use to oppose queerphobia and transphobia, as long as they don’t compromise any of our other values or points of unity. Legislative action and direct action are different tools in the same toolkit. A diversity of tactics is key to our liberation.
3. We oppose sexual harassment and abuse. We will not work with organizations or individuals that have been credibly accused of systemic abuse.
4. We are non-hierarchical. While organizations involved with OAT have representatives, these representatives serve more as points of communication than leadership
5. As long as transphobia exists in this state, we will be organized together to fight it. We aren’t just here to fight specific legislation, we’re here to fight transphobia in all its forms in South Carolina.
6. Regardless of our individual ideologies, we are united in our goal of trans and queer liberation.
