Just a reminder that tomorrow (12th April) is The Day of Silence. I learnt about it yesterday so I can be wrong (please correct me if I am) it's celebrated to honor the queer students who face harassment, are bullied, ostracized or silenced. I saw a report that 9/10 LGBTQ students face verbal harassment and 1/3 of students are scared to go to school. To all of you, stay strong and safe. There's nothing wrong with you. You're awesome.

Have a nice week

(The Washington Post)

For those who don't know, the US Supreme Court just ruled that states are allowed to enforce trans healthcare for minors. Undoubtedly, this will trigger a wave of other states that either hope to pass or have already passed policies to do the same. This is going to kill children, and harm more in long-lasting ways.

So, how can you help?

FUCKING VOTE. I don't care if you don't like Biden, he's not the only one on the ballot. Vote representatives into your city council who will turn our city into a sanctuary city. Vote for governors and state reps who will, even if they don't pass new protections, oppose bans being pushed through. Chsllenge and kick out conservative incumbents who are banking on their races being obscure enough for people to not vote in.

Anyone telling you voting is useless is either lying to you or grossly uninformed and think saying this is the edgy new take that will make them look hip and informed. Yes, the system is broken. But short of burning the whole thing to the ground (which personally I'm not a fan of as I quite enjoy having like. Roads and the FDA) what we can do is to change it for the better, by starting with the local races and working our way up.

#vio.txt #politics #us politics #lemme tell you when i read this story and my heart sank #the supreme court has set the tone on ruling on trans healthcare #the best thing we can do is ensure those decisions never reach them #this is your reminder that state court justices are an elected position #but god. im deeply worried for the upcoming election #transgender #lgbtq #lgbt #also on another note please vote for biden????? like trump is currently in several trials we cannot give him the power to pardon?????? #also im hoping he'll keep erasing student loans

[bethanythebogwitch]

So to recap: this week the Supreme Court made it basically impossible to stop stalkers and online harassment, got rid of affirmative action, let bigots legally discriminate against LGBTQ+ people, and rules that young people will be attached to student loan debt for the rest of their life

Fucking. Riot.

attention all students:

if your school offers a Queer Theory or LGBT+ History class, take it. find a way to sign up for it, ask a school counselor about it, research it - do whatever you can to take it. with all of these anti-queer bills and legislation coming out, learning our past is extremely important, now more than ever.

the QT class i took was majority oral history from my 70-something badass butch professor. she equipped me with priceless knowledge about all of the people that gave their lives for us to be even in public.

this is a plea to make an effort to preserve our history. no, im simply begging you. don't let them erase us again.

The nice thing about reaching adulthood as a trans person is that there are plenty of instances where, before as a kid, your transness mattered, but now it doesn't necessarily

When I was in high school, I was required to take a P.E. class to graduate, and I was always yelled at for being late and bringing my backpack to class with me because I couldn't change in locker rooms like the other guys. I changed in a faculty restroom and brought my bag with me, my tardiness be damned. It gave me an unhealthy view of fitness because I despised how othered I felt, and I couldn't articulate why I didn't feel safe necessarily. I felt like transness would always be what others saw before they saw me, and I hated that feeling. I don't like being seen as The Trans Person, I just like being seen as me, where being trans is part of me but not the whole.

However, as an adult, I can join a gym and they don't fucking care. I get to retrain how to have a healthy relationship with fitness on my own terms because now, I have the freedom to be left the fuck alone about my transness. I love weightlifting, I love feeling physically fit, and high school was not the place for me as a trans person.

If any young trans person is feeling how I felt about their transness being front-and-center, just, please hold out hope. I know shit's scary, especially for you young people, and I do not blame you for how you feel. Just know that there can be good out there.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #it's been difficult to learn how to like fitness on my own terms but i'm learning #i've been going to the gym just so i can lift again and it feels good #i feel like i've been sleeping on testosterone and muscle gain these past three years. trying not to be salty about it though lmaoo #i think it would be funny to get jacked even though my work does *not* require it #i *do* feel like i lucked out with how accepting my school was don't get me wrong #i feel lucky i wasn't teased or bullied or interrogated by students or faculty. it's just that i had other things on top of that too #i was shocked that despite being in a *very* red town my high school was very chill

Alex Schmidt says she knows she may face consequences for not following the province's pronoun law, but it's a risk she's willing to take. The Regina public school teacher says she'd rather ensure gender-diverse children who could be put at risk by the law are safe. "Part of the process has always been: 'No. 1, thank you for sharing this with me, and No. 2, how can I support you?"' Schmidt said. "I think that respects the rights of parents. And if children say, 'I need you to support me and not share this information until I understand how,' then that is the way that I would support students." Schmidt and dozens of other teachers have signed an online petition calling on school divisions not to follow the law. It says the legislation harms gender-diverse students, as it could force them to come out or have teachers misgender them.

You simply love to see it. :')

Pride month may be over, but there’s still work to be done, there’s a war to still be won.

Hope all in anti-lgbt countries & states are staying safe and happy.
