Nice Try, Republicans, But We’re Claiming ‘Snowflake’ as Our Own

If I see one more comment throwing around the term “special snowflake” while ridiculing someone’s “safe space,” I might just get permanent eye strain from rolling them so hard.

Let’s be honest: I’d take “snowflake” over the much more offensive and unfortunately popular “libtard” any day. At least you’re trying to keep it somewhat civil. But come on, we don’t need to add to the stigma surrounding disabilities. We already have a president who makes fun of people with disabilities, a secretary of education who’s clueless about the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and an attorney general who hinted that special education laws contribute to a “decline in civility” in classrooms. It’s crystal clear where the GOP stands on anyone who doesn’t fit into their narrow definition of “normal.” So let’s not pile on any more insults to the special needs community with terms like “libtard.”

Now, you’ve decided that “snowflake” is your new favorite jab at those of us who stand for principles like the separation of church and state, equal rights, women’s autonomy over their bodies, freedom of religion, universal healthcare, and the right to quality education. Apparently, we’re all just delicate and devoid of critical thinking for supporting such a “ridiculous” agenda. But here’s the kicker: snowflakes are anything but weak.

Did you know what those snowflakes do? They band together and create avalanches.

I get it, Republicans aren’t exactly keen on discussing climate-related issues, but we all know the power of an avalanche. It’s like when people unite for human rights or rally at airports demanding justice for immigrants and refugees being wrongfully detained. Avalanches disrupt. Avalanches change the game. If you stand against an avalanche, guess who comes out on top? The snowflakes. As Sara Raasch puts it in Snow Like Ashes, “Even the strongest blizzards start with a single snowflake.”

So while you thought you were tossing us an insult with “snowflake,” we’re actually embracing it. We are snowflakes: strong, passionate, and ready to rise up. We demand clean air, equal rights, affordable healthcare, women’s autonomy, and inclusive, quality education for all kids. And that’s just scratching the surface.

So buckle up; this winter is going to be a long one.

In summary, while the term “snowflake” was intended as an insult, we’re turning it into a badge of honor. We’re strong, united, and ready to advocate for our rights and beliefs.
