Screenshot of my own post that says: For a long time, I used to say that in transition, I was the same person, just with a different coat of paint.

However, I fundamentally feel and live differently than I was. Yes, my past trauma and experiences colour who I am today. But I do genuinely see my pre-transition self and cannot, for the life of me, recognize that person.
Nor do I remember much of it.
The longer time passes, the less I recognize the person in old photos and handful of memories.

Today, I’m simply Alice.

Screenshot of my own post saying: Hey so, Pete Hegseth wanting to give Testosterone shots (which is gender affirming care in some way) to US troops while simultaneously banning Trans people… it’s peak hypocrisy.
And the point was always cruelty and segregation.

But what do I know. Oh wait, I do know that too much T in your body actually gets converted into estradiol (estrogen) which will then cause low fertility & libido, and breasts growth (gynecomastia) for men.

So yeah, they’ll grow a pair, just not the ones Pete expected.

Quote by Assata Shakur: Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them.

Trans rights, Gaza, and in general your views towards human rights and lives, will always be a bare minimum for me.

YOU need to do better. I will not lower myself to view someone else as lesser because you can’t be a better human being with morals, values, and a spine.

Your gender and your orientation are not determined by what’s between your legs.

And no one can tell you you’re something else than what you know yourself to be.

Have a good day my loves 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Text reads: Last September, Ríhanna Kelver was standing outside the Crowbar & Grill in Laramie, Wyoming, preparing to start her bartending shift, when she noticed a group of men across the street. One of them was shouting in her direction, and Kelver heard several homophobic and transphobic slurs as he began approaching her.
Moments later, according to court testimony and surveillance footage, the man shoved Kelver to the ground hard enough to injure her tailbone.
Kelver responded by drawing a pistol from her bag, chambering a round, and pointing the weapon at the man who had pushed her. She kept the safety on and never fired. The man and his companions retreated.
Today, Kelver, a 28-year-old trans woman, faces two felony charges-aggravated assault and possession of a deadly weapon with unlawful intent—which could carry up to 15 years in prison. The man who shoved Kelver and who allegedly initiated the confrontation, known only as "S. Durham," has not been charged.

FYI, if people are dying from a lack of access to healthcare, then that’s violence enacted by your politicians.
They could do something to fix that, but they choose to let it happen.
Never forget that.

Y’all are acting like giving up a book series is the worst sacrifice ever 🙄

I wish I had your life problems.
No instead I have to worry for my siblings across the world and at home who are losing access to basic human rights, are getting harassed, beaten, and in too many cases, murdered.

But sure, tell me again how horrible it would be not to watch a tv show once.

Reminder: you can be a fascist while being queer.

Ersnt Rohm, an openly cis gay man, was a prominent Nazi who was instrumental in the rise of the party and you-know-who.

Today, we have Buck Angel, Blair White, Brandi Nitti, Richard Grenell, Nick Fuentes (allegedly, but very likely), as a few examples of mostly white Queer people openly supporting/enabling/working with fascists.

Some Queer people think they’ll benefit as “the good ones” but ultimately will be sacrificed by their own side.

Screenshot of a Twitter post. At the top, a “Readers added context” box explains that an email asking “where is the real pilot?” was sent to Ghislaine Maxwell by Philip Levine about a helicopter flight, not written by Maxwell about 9/11, with a link to a U.S. Justice Department Epstein files page. Below, a verified account belonging to Cenk Uygur posts a tweet questioning whether the story is real and asking why mainstream media would ignore Maxwell allegedly asking “Where is the real pilot?” seven days after 9/11.

The problem that we’ll often find while going through the files is that rich powerful people tend to communicate through assistants or third parties.
Making it hard to draw definitive conclusions about anyone.

This includes horrible people like Rowling. Right now her connections are mostly circumstantial. Though she has associated herself in some way with other (alleged and convicted) abusers like ex-prince Andrew, Greg Ellis, Depp, and Nicola Murray

May you be treated the way you treat Trans people.

May you be treated the way you treat Queer people.

May you be treated the way you treat Black people.

May you be treated the way you treat Indigenous peoples.

May you be treated the way you treat Arab people, especially 🍉 right now.

May you be treated the way you treat Jewish people.

May you be treated the way you treat every minority you vilify
to justify your own bigotry,
your own fear,
your own lack.

And even if it did, wtf kind of f***** up justification would that be for the murder of an innocent person?!

The way queer people and drag artists have been dehumanized to the point where it’s used as a way to justify our murder…

All of you who do this: you are the lowest of the low and the worst of humanity.

May you be treated the way you treat queer people.

Where are all the 2A people no—
They joined ICE.

Where are the proud boys—
Also ICE.

What about the neo-na—
ICE.

All these hateful, untrained, unintelligent, and emotionally unstable people have always been on the side of a tyrannical government. So long as they get to abuse and murder others like we are seeing in front of our very eyes.

Today, the corrupt Supreme Court of the United States is hearing oral arguments that, while about trans inclusion in sports, will mean whether or not trans people have a right to equal protections under the law.

We most likely won’t know the ruling for a while now, but given how they ruled to strip away healthcare from trans youth, I have little faith they’ll do the right thing here.
I expect them to use their ignorance and beliefs to justify their malice.

Ultimately, those who cheer on fascism don’t care about the truth. They make up their own “facts” entirely based in their own beliefs.

That’s what we’re seeing with those cheering on the US regime invading other countries.
They don’t care about the innocent people who were killed or are about to die under US occupation. They didn’t care when around a million Iraqi people were killed.
Hell they don’t even care right now about the current genocides even when shown proof of the horrors.

We are way past the time to take the US regime as a threat no matter which nation you are.
He’s violating international law with impunity and the collective right wing nutjobs in our countries are celebrating it (i.e Pierre Poilievre, Nigel Farage, etc).

They’re cheering on criminality under the guise of “freedom” when it’s anything but. Innocent civilians are dying as a result of their lies.
Take the threat the US poses seriously. Now.

Unfriendly reminder: if you cheer-on any of the transphobia being force-fed to you by certified grifters and con men (politicians, Nicki Minaj, asmongold, billionaire-funded turning point, etc)
Then congratulations! You’re the biggest useful idiot there is.

Attacking minorities only hurts those minorities. Your life will never improve because of it. It’ll eventually harm you too, but by that point, it’ll be too late for anyone to help you.

“Well if trans people didn’t…” I’m gonna stop you right there bub.
What you’re engaging in is victim-blaming for the violence and oppression trans people experience. And usually you’re pointing out a trans person simply existing in society.

Mind your own business, deal with your feelings, and let people live their lives.

Hey just because you personally found out that trans people exist, doesn’t make us “new” or a fad.
We’ve always been here.

You just didn’t pay attention until someone told you to hate us.
It’s very easy to do better than that. Just talk to actual trans people and let go of that construct you created in your mind of us.

Policies that harm people and go directly against evidence should be faced with severe legal consequences against those who enacted them.

Whether it’s a policy that harms first nations, trans people, immigrants, workers’ rights, etc.

And proportional to the harm inflicted. If it allowed wage thefts for example, then monetary compensation from both those who stole it and the politicians who helped them.

If it resulted in deaths, then we’re taking about murder charges.

If you obsess over trans women and pretend like that’s a safety issue, while you ignore that every statistic shows it’s cis men who are the problem, then you’re the one endangering women and girls as a result.

You’re absolutely part of the problem.
You’re letting the actual dangerous cis men get away with it by scapegoating people more likely to be victims of those very cis men you’re letting get away.
