Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol

As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.

So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.

Growing up, I was taught Rosa Parks was a helpless victim. She, of course, was a victim but she was not helpless. She knew exactly what she was doing when she refused to move. It's because of her courageous act of protest many of us remember the horrible discrimination laws that existed then.

People who want to erase the power of protestors will twist the narrative to portray the victim as meek and fragile. Like those protesting just wanted peace in the moment.

But, like op stated, this trans woman wanted the world to see. She wanted to direct all eyes towards the discriminatory laws in place the same way Rosa Parks did.

People who stand up to bigotry in this manner do not want peace in the moment. They want the violence highlighted so peace will come for those after them. It's a sacrifice. They look their oppressors in the eye and bait them so the world can see how ugly the system is. They know very well they will likely be arrested or even killed. But, that too is part of the message.

Activists like this make an extremely hard decision to sacrifice their well-being for the sake of human rights.

I hope this courageous woman can safely resume her life and I hope her form of protest is heard across the country.

“ooh i’m getting all my tattoos removed bc tattoos aren’t cool anymore they’re out of style and no longer match my aesthetic” i’m not gonna mince words anymore if you got tattoos because they were a cool aesthetic and not because you actually wanted them then you’re a fucking idiot

my fate is gonna be eating paper if this gets 10k notes
