oh shit this is THAT sinclair? what an icon. for those that don’t know “don’t mourn for us” is widely considered THE touchstone for the autism/neurodiversity rights movement. i can’t find anything reliable about pronouns. xir gender is definitely neuter though, an ‘older’ label akin to agender.

Transcript:

Y'all better quiet down! I've been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help! And you all don't do a goddamn thing for them! And they write STAR, not the woman's group! They do not write women, they do not write men, they write to STAR! Because we're trying to do something for them! But you all tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs! I will not put up with this shit! I have been beaten, I have had my nose broken, I have been thrown in jail, I have lost my job, I have lost my apartment for gay liberation, and you all treat me this way?! What the fuck's wrong with you all?! Think about that! I believe in the gay power, I believe in us getting our rights, or else I would not be out there fighting for our rights, that's all I wanted to say to you people. Come and see people at STAR House on Twelfth Street, the people that are trying to do something for all of us, and not men and women that belong to our white middle class club! And that's what you all belong to! Revolution now! Gay power! Know the gay power!

For anyone unaware, the “STAR” she keeps referring to here is the group Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries,* which she and Marsha P Johnson formed in an attempt to fold the liberation of trans women into the wider New Left movement. Through the groups short history, they organized Mutual aid for homeless trans women (so-called “street queens”), fought for Trans women's inclusion within the wider gay rights movement, and even co-sponsored events with groups like the Black Panthers and Young Lords

*This booklet was prepared by an anarchist who wrote a very bad introduction, but it’s the most comprehensive archive of contemporary media to do with STAR I have yet found

The new Final Destination coming out is the best time to remind everyone that there is an (un?)official music video starring the cast of the last FD in a Saved By The Bell parody

the ardent sucker

can u see me? just checking,,

wow, for some reason, less than 4 months after she made her account, my girlfriend got silently banned off Tumblr! thats crazy!

i wonder what my black trans girlfriend did to get herself banned! oh well im sure there was a really good reason for it

this website is a fucking joke.

if you arent furious over this in light of the recent downsizing of tumblr's staff to about 25, then you havent thought yet about how purposeful you have to be to single out a single black trans person for being black and trans out of a userbase accounting for 300 million daily logins.

because of something existential that they dont like about her.

no email or anything by the way. no notice of deletion, she just attempted logging in and couldnt. there is no consistent terms of service to account for this, it is very blatant transmisogynoir for this to have come to pass.

im sure they could come up with some legal bullshit reason to cover themselves, but think about it. 25 staff. thats fewer people than a highschool classroom, as my other partner put it so well, and they still decided hers was the most dangerous blog on tumblr. alright man.

Literally the most important words ever spoken

Imagine your rich dumbass parents got scammed out of a ridiculous amount of money because they believed that determining how a bunch of cells would likely score on an "intelligence" test or which hobbies it would be good at once it's grown into a human child was real and possible, and then they'd hate you for not being be a genius. I think these kids should be legally allowed to kill their parents.

holy shit.
