Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza

Note: Vetted by:

1. @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi # 151 on the spreadsheet of Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List]

I contemplate the happy faces of people around me here in Ireland and reminisce about the happy normal life my family and I had before the war. A life that turned into a distant memory for us and was replaced by an unending series of horrible nightmares.

Unlike my family in Gaza, people here have access to drinking water, all types of food, electricity, and a roof over their heads. Above all, they are safe, and I cannot help but wonder if they genuinely do appreciate these blessings in their lives enough.

People seem relaxed and laughing wholeheartedly around me in Ireland. I wish I could laugh too, but I am crushed way beyond recovery on the inside. I was evacuated by my Irish college after five months of living the horrors of war in Gaza. I hope you will never know what it feels like to live in constant fear and worry and be horrified by the most sickening and scary nightmares every single night while you are far away from your family in such circumstances.

When did my people in Gaza cease to be human beings worthy and deserving of a normal life? Has it become normal now for my family in Gaza to be starved and killed while the whole world is watching the genocide? If that is the case, then you will have to excuse me if I seek every avenue to bring them to Ireland and start a new normal life like all people here around me.

I was assured by the Irish Reugee Council (IRC) and lawyers in Ireland that there is hope I can reunite with my family in Ireland. In difficult times, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. For me and my family, you are literally our light and hope for a better life.

SOS!

Please, do not ignore my story💔😭

I am Rania Mahmoud, 30 years old. I live in Gaza City. I am married and have two children. I support my children and my family. My father and mother are elderly. I lost my home and was displaced more than once. Every time, I was escaping death amidst the screams of my children under war and death. I currently live in a tent in the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter.💔 Life is very difficult, like hell. I need to buy milk, diapers, food and drink for my children. I need your help to save my family and children from the war of extermination in Gaza.💔 I want them to live in safety, so I ask you to extend a helping hand to save them from death so that I can get them out of Gaza safely to obtain a safer life for them.💔😭

Your donation and sharing this message is a part of your humanity and support for us. Every help, no matter how small, makes a huge difference in my life and my children's lives. Be our voice, be the hope for those who have lost everything." 🇵🇸🍉🙏🏼

Share, donate, help us survive. 🕊️❤️

In a corner of Gaza, my family and I are drowning in destruction, with the echoes of suffering surrounding us. I sat beside my modest tent, hastily erected after losing my home in the latest bombing. The faces of my family tell stories of patience and resilience, with lines of time etched upon them, as if they were records of unforgettable events. 🇵🇸⏳🍉

I for the life of me can't find my original post but since I'm getting new followers again I wanna state that as a csa victim from more ppl than I could ever remember that I wholeheartedly believe that "the pedophile" is a boogeyman, a fascist tool for making you okay with violence being enacted on people, and not the cause of childhood and adolescent sexual abuse. In the same way that rape is not borne out of attraction but rather is an expression of power that simply uses sex as a means to its end, childhood and adolescent sexual abuse is not by and large borne from attraction to children and adolescents, but rather from the incredible amounts of power that adults have over young people

Who is a pedophile? Whoever fascists label a pedophile. It's insane to me that so many people can watch fascists call homosexuals and transsexuals as an entire demographic pedophiles and groomers, and their response is to fucking accept the premise that there is in fact a monstrous type of sub human person whose entire goal is to abuse children (which then makes it okay to do literally anything to them), just that its not homosexual or transsexuals, it's its own thing. Newsflash but they are calling people groomers BECAUSE they're gay or trans, it has never had anything to do with this boogeyman they invented. They think you're a pedophile too.

And I get it. I understand why it's galvanizing. None of us got justice (not that I believe our current legal frameworks could even dispense it) and we have to live every day with the shit that happened to us. And that fucking sucks. The animal in me wants retribution. It wants them to hurt like they hurt me, it wants violence done to them like the violence they did to me. When I was 19 I would watch To Catch a Predator on YouTube on repeat. It satisfied that angry animal. Seeing n these men--the exact same sorts of men who hurt me, having the exact same sorts of conversations they had with me--getting their "just desserts" was so profoundly satisfying to me.

But no one deserves violence--physical or social--certainly not for the sake of supposed catharsis. The animal that craves an eye for and eye is reactionary. It is moved by feeling, outrage, and (often justified) anger. But what it really wants, it will never get. I cannot change the fact that I've been raped and abused. It will never be satisfied, it will always be angry.

And how quickly that quest for satisfaction turns to violence, social murder, and torture--all in the name of "protecting children." But this world does not have monsters. Evil doesn't exist. Everything is explicable, every social ill has material conditions which produces it. I wasn't raped and abused because of evil. I was raped and abused because adults had incredible amounts of power over me and they wanted to use that power and just didn't care about how it would hurt me.

But the fascists don't care about that. They never have. To them, the problem they face is not one of the material conditions of children, but instead a fight against evil, against whatever social forces stand in the way of the family as an economic unit of capitalist production. They'll label you as a pedophile too.

They care about using that anger we have for their own ends. That's all. Don't let them. You're next.

women’s bodies weren’t “made” to do anything, nature didn’t “intend” anything, no human action is “unnatural” and there is no inherent “purpose” to a human life

people weren’t designed to do anything because they weren’t designed at all. Hope this helps 🤩

Another day, another post directly conflating butchness with transmasculinity and categorically excluding transfem butches

To any TME dykes following me: do me a favor and take a moment before reblogging posts about butchness and ask yourself if it feels like the post is doing the above. I see so many posts that do this, some quietly, some loudly. It's so fucking tiring seeing it so often. Please.
