There’s no such thing as a trans person. That’s just a mentally ill person who cut off their genitals

"A mentally ill person who cut off...genitals" Interesting. Tell me...when a conservative culture performs female genital mutilation on their own people? Or performs castration on men they deem as "inferior" or "slaves"... Is that "mentally ill" in your opinion?

By your standards, there's several billion people on this ageless planet that would be considered "mentally ill", but I guess you won't count them?

You know what I PERSONALLY consider to be "mentally ill?"

People who do stuff like this!

You'll notice there was no confirmation whether or not the woman was actually transgender, just that the cashier had an image in his mind of what he thought the woman was, and acted on it with no regard to others....acting on prejudice.

Now let me show you a lovely writing about Trans people by Liam Konemann "The Appendix: Transmasculine Joy in a Transphobic Culture"

I wonder, are you aware of Human Growth Hormone and Estrogen? I would politely ask that you research both, but I assume its far easier to hold prejudice against something you are neither willing to understand nor able to control.

I'm autistic...I have been called a freak of nature, a disgrace to humanity, and an abomination...by my own family members. The Trans community? Showed me more love, tolerance, and acceptance than my OWN FATHER AND SIBLINGS.

Trans rights are human rights, because Trans People ARE PEOPLE!

So here is what I have to say to an intolerant transphobe like you!

(More or less) Gentle reminder that homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, asexuality and their equivalent in romantic attraction, transidentity, non-binary, genderfluid, and every other identity I forgot to place -I am so sorry but I don't remember all of them from the top of my head- are NOT considered mental illnesses anymore!

(The fact that it was in the first place is depressing but moving on...)

So if you ever dare saying that they should go to conversion therapy/be locked in a mental institution in front of me, you are going to have a very pissed off therapist coming at you with her swords.

And I am not exagerating, I have them. Ready. Try me if you dare.

Queer folks, LGBTQ+ folks, however you want to be called; be proud ^^

You're not ill, you're not "crazy" -I hate that word- you're valid!

The Ivy Foundation is an LGBTQI+ organisation in Malawi. One of my really good friends from university, who is currently working in Malawi, has helped them set up a GoFundMe - they currently are struggling to pay rent for the safehouse they run in the Malawian capital of Lilongwe.

They do not need a huge amount of money - only the equivalent of €800 to cover the next three months, so any donations would be massively appreciated. Currently they are staffed by volunteers as they do not have the funds available to pay wages for their staff. Any extra money would go towards their programmes to try an improve the safety, security and economic status of LGBTQI people in the country. The economic situation in Malawi is already extremely difficult, having one of the world's lowest average incomes. It also has one of the highest percentages of people living with HIV/AIDS of any country in the world. For LGBTQI individuals in Malawi, the challenges are even worse – from being denied access to health services and education, to facing homelessness and societal ostracization, and in some case even criminal prosecution.

Even if you cannot donate please consider sharing this link to others who may be able to. Thanks!

EDIT: If you want to follow them you can find them on Facebook at https://m.facebook.com/people/Ivy-foundation/100076556454298/

When I was 13, I realized I was bisexual. I came out to my friends and one told me that “being bisexual means you’ll have sex with anything, even animals or children” and another friend told me that bisexuals were all perverts. I was so ashamed that I stopped telling people I was bi.

When I was 16, I began dating my first girlfriend. When a guy in my class found out that I was in a gay relationship, he asked me to describe how her and I have sex in great detail. I hardly knew this guy and he asked me these questions in front of our classmates. I was so uncomfortable that I refused to tell anybody else at my school that I was in a relationship.

When I was 19, I called my mom crying because I had my heart broken by a girl and I had no one else to call. My mom told me that I couldn’t be bisexual and was just confused. I begged and begged her to listen to me and to please actually believe me when I told her I was bi. My mom told me that she’d be happiest if I was straight, and then she outed me to my dad who tried to convince me that I should only date men and to “just ignore” any attraction I felt toward other women.

When I was 22, I was told by a potential roommate that they wouldn’t be comfortable living with a queer person. Around the same time, my (now ex) boyfriend outed me to his family and then laughed when his family made comments about how bi people sleep around and can’t be trusted in relationships.

A few months ago, I found out that one of my closest friends has been telling people behind my back that I’m only bisexual because I am “desperate and want to have more dating options”. And another friend told me that she was sad when she found out I was bisexual because I’m the only bi person in the friend group and now there’s “less solidarity” in the group.

And these experiences are why I’m so vocal about being bisexual. This is why I will always, always do my best to lift up other bi people and make them feel included, heard, represented, etc. Why I will ALWAYS believe someone when they tell me that they’re bi without asking them probing questions to “prove themselves”. And why I will always provide a safe space for bi people to talk openly about their sexuality, their crushes, their love lives, etc. without making them feel like any part of their sexuality is lesser than.

We deserve to be openly, honestly, and happily bisexual :)

All Night Gaiety

All Night Gaiety is a queer history project, but it’s also about fundraising for LGBTQ+ organisations around the world. Created as a response to the murder of Brianna Ghey in England, this is a project to raise money to make trans lives better.

Trans rights are a global concern so this is a global project. Fourteen countries, fourteen organisations supporting our trans siblings. Our solidarity will be intersectional or it will be bullshit.

Money raised will come from the sale of t-shirts! These t-shirts will feature reworked logos of eighteen historic queer venues in sixteen countries, covering over a hundred years of queer partying.

To find out more go to www,allnightgaiety.com. You’ll find all the t-shirt designs but also the history of the various venues around the world.

Take a look, picture's the same. One community, one struggle. That is why I am appalled by people in our community who don't defend trans and non-binary folks. No time for collaborators. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Idk who needs to hear this but you can’t just claim an entire group of people is rewriting history in order to discredit a certain aspect of history you don’t agree with. It’s not productive and is a perfect example of someone rewriting history btw.

There’s no lgb without the t. We’re a community for a reason. Instead of bickering about issues no individual has control of, let’s band together to eradicate these serious societal issues.

This isn’t discourse btw, just a proposed solution and a cry for unity. This community needs more unity.

Take care of yourselves and others. ✌️❤️

Something Ive begun to realize about Pride is how it truly Needs to be inclusive. Yes, I mean aces and aros (they belong regardless, but some ppl don't see that) , and kinksters, and polyamory, and etc. Ill get flack for saying this, but even cishet people who dont conform to societal values of what cishet should look like should be included in Pride.

First and formost, Pride needs to be a rejection of societal institutions, prejudices, and norms that restrict and exclude ways of loving and of being, rather than solely about being part of an oppressed group.

Fighting for LGBT rights is nescesary, but its not enough. In order to dismantle the systems that perpetuate homophobia and transphobia, we need to look at the broader social norms surrounding relationships, love, and identity. Its not as simple as changing a few parts of the machine here and there. The institutions we are fighting are intricate and massive. We cannot begin to fathom how to properly move forward without considering all the different ways a person or relationship would be seen as outside the patriarchal, monogamous, cishetero norm.

Our community formed not only out of solidarity, but as a political movement that embraced diversity. Welcoming more into our ranks cannot hurt us, it bolsters our numbers and makes us a more formiddable force.

Q. "But including _____ will take away focus from the most vulnerable groups!"

A. We do not forsake our siblings by welcoming a broader range of experiences. It is fully possible to include other groups in our solidarity while still supporting our most vulnerable members just as much. Rather, including more people in our acticism will give us more opportunities to help those in the most need.

Q. "But including _____ makes us look bad!"

A. No matter what we do or say, we will look bad to cishet society. It makes no difference what we do, they will find a way to put us down. And turning against others like us only makes that easier for them.

Q. "But _____ arent oppressed the same way!"

A. Allying with them will only strengthen our cause. Squabbling over who is or isnt queer is a pointless endeavor when you consider all the good we could do as a united front.

Q. "But I just cant accept _____!"

A. Then perhaps you should think harder about what were fighting for, why we are fighting for it, and how much personal scruples matter in the grand scheme of things.

We can squabble After we have won the rights to love who and how we want, and to freely express who we are. Right now, we need to secure our future.

Note: Sorry if anyones put off by the separation of the aspec community from lgbt. Im greyro myself, but I wanted to make a point about aspec exclusion because Ive seen so much of it around. Ty for understanding!

Edit: I noticed a typo where I said "valuable" instead of "vulnerable" (no! no!) so I fixed it. I also noted at the start that aspecs should be included. Sorry for taking this long to fix the post!

No pain medicine ever for gynecological procedures is domestic violence.

The fact that they can't agree on why the metal coil works and won't do any pain mitigation before putting it in- is domestic violence.

No accessible alternatives for disabled people that can't use leg stirrups, or straight up refusal of care based on the developmental disability of the patient- is domestic violence.

india supreme court does not make same sex marriage legal :(

I doubt many of us were expecting anything different but it's still very saddening... I feel like not many of us even knew the court case was happening. The ray of light here is that the court case happened in the first place but we still have a ways to go.

The first step is to spread awareness, though! We can't let this court case be totally forgotten and vanish into obscurity.

Radical Feminism and Its Exclusions

"In recent years, many people’s understanding of radical feminism has been colored by their opinions of TERFs, or trans-exclusionary radical feminists. Not all radical feminists are TERFs. MacKinnon has been an outspoken supporter of trans rights for decades, and has criticized TERFs for their bigotry. “Anybody who identifies as a woman, wants to be a woman, is going around being a woman, as far as I’m concerned, is a woman,” she said in a 2015 interview.

But while not synonymous, radical feminism contains many TERFs in its ranks, and its core ideas lend themselves to an exclusion of trans people, especially trans women.

For many radical feminists, it doesn’t matter what gender someone identifies and presents as — it only matters what gender they were assigned at birth. If men are the oppressors and the source of women’s oppression, it follows that those men maintain that oppressive power, even after they transition. Their socialization as men, no matter how short-lived or plagued by gender dysphoria and violence, renders them agents of female oppression. Thus, many radical feminists ban trans people, and particularly trans women, from their politics and organizing spaces.

This exclusion isn’t just bigoted — it’s hypocritical: while radical feminists campaign vigorously against sexual violence, it’s trans women who suffer from disproportionately high rates of sexual and physical violence (particularly trans women of color).

TERFs may argue that trans women do not share a reproductive system with cis women, and thus can’t understand women’s struggles for birth control and against forced sterilization. But then what do they say of solidarity with lesbian women, or cis women who cannot or choose not to have children? The arguments that TERFs put forth are both weak and prejudiced.

Radical feminism is also noticeably silent on the question of racism, and is burdened by a politically suspect strategy for fighting it.

Men of color perpetuate sexism just like white men. But their experience of racism also binds them together with the women of color in their communities. As Sharon Smith writes, “the need to fight alongside men in the fight against racism or in the class struggle [has] made separatist ideas unappealing” for women of color.

Indeed, for many women, the struggle against racism is inextricably linked to the struggle against sexist oppression (both of which are ingrained in capitalism).

The Combahee River Collective, a legendary group of black feminist socialists, embodied this understanding, writing in their 1979 statement: “We need to articulate the real class situation of persons who are not merely raceless, sexless workers, but for whom racial and sexual oppression are significant determinants in their working/economic lives.”

Women cannot reduce their experiences of oppression merely to their gender. Most of us are workers. Many of us are mothers, people of color, members of the LGBTQ community, and more. We need to understand how all of these things are tied together in order to fight domination in all spheres — and in order to win."
