I'm actually super glad we're having a conversation about this. The masculinization of black and brown women, because for years I felt like I endured this unique form of trauma until I realized other people went through the same thing too. And if there's one thing that I'd like to add to the conversation, there seems to be this misconception that this is something that starts at puberty. Like boys tell you you look like a man to hurt your feeling when that's so far from the case.
The first time I was purposefully misgendered was in kindergarten. I was constantly referred to by the masculine variant of my name, I was chased out of the women's restroom, and I had grown adults questioning what my biological sex was before I even knew what the difference was. And those behaviors persisted into adulthood because now if I present as anything less than 100% feminine, people will either compare me to men or animals.
And for myself and for many other brown and black women this is a life long act deliberately intended to humiliate, shame, and other us for the features we were naturally born with and I'm glad we're having a discussion on how harmful it actually is.]
Hold the fuck on no way WW3 jokes are trending on Twitter when this is an extremely serious situation that’s threatening to destabilize an entire region. No way everyone’s gleefully looking at this as if it’s the grand show finale they’ve been waiting all along. There is no fucking way
Hello! My name is Jericho, I am a intersex transsexual person who relies on my hormones to maintain both my physical and mental well-being! Recently, my insurance has denied my pre-authorization, and it has been a 3 month battle and 3 months without my proper medication which had lost me employment, and while I am finally getting an appeal sent, it can take up to 30 days to hear anything back, and my health has been getting progressively worse. I am biting the bullet and deciding to pay for my medication out of pocket as I can not go much longer without it- but I do not have the income to buy my hormones out of pocket, which is why I am making this post, even if you can't donate it would be a life saver.
After Germany kidnapped the plastic surgeon Ghassan Abu Sitta, who survived the Al-Shifa massacre, where 1500 Palestinian bodies were found murdered by zionazi occupation and siege - many of whom were mutilated beyond recognition - Palestinian and Jewish-led protests flooded the streets of Berlin, wherein zionazi German police began attacking, brutalizing, and arresting protestors.
