In 2023 she took part in a hunger strike outside the White House demanding an end to Israeli genocide in Palestine. When asked about living under the second Trump administration, she said, “Queer joy and trans joy — I do think that these are political acts. You may be controlling a lot of the levers of power, but you are not controlling the levers of me.”
