Trans is beautiful! Community is resistance!
Btw, this is how conservatives keep getting to claim that trans people are a new thing no one has ever heard, because our history and existences have continually been erased or obscured systematically through out history.
The most famous example was 92 years when the Nazis raided the library of the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft, the medical practice where the term transsexual was first coined and the first gender affirming surgery was performed in in 1931.
What did the Nazis do after raiding the library on May 6th, 1933? You may be familiar with these images
It is happening again.
oh ok we’re just speedrunning fascism now
Always include a link. Screenshots are not news. But yes this is real.
We do still need to publish journals in print, for archiving purposes. Digital media is so easy to edit and backdate the edits. Deleting it can be so invisible. At minimum, download files locally to your physical hard drive.
The first headline is a big sensationalized btw, it's an order to CDC workers not to all scientists everywhere. Which is bad enough without exaggerating.
Dear US Trans Friends
Get your passport before the next administration!
Biden removed the medical requirement to change your gender on your passport. Meaning you can self attest your gender. Having a passport with your correct gender marker on it will make it easier to change other forms of ID, and hopefully keep you safe over the coming years.
Good luck and stay safe x

"We'll be back to rebuild it" Gaza, 2024
I’m really glad that Aaron’s self-immolation for Palestine is getting attention, but on November 8th there was also a Congolese man who did the same thing for the genocide happening in the DRC. From what I read in the article above, his fate and identity are unknown but I think his story should be getting equal amount of traction and I haven’t really seen anyone talking about it on Tumblr specifically yet.
Just premising this with the fact that Aaron Bushnells self immolation was felt by all palestinians in Palestine and in the diaspora because the idea that someone so deeply upset by what he saw happening to Palestinians at the "hands of their colonizers" decided to self immolate in front of the israeli embassy was a shocking act of solidarity. And that being said this extraordinary act of revolutionary suicide is exactly how you should perceive palestinian resistance who go out and battle one of the most funded armies in the world just so one day palestinians can be free of this occupation and colonial oppressor. Our resistance are not "crazy fundamentalists" they are occupied people who have bore the scars the occupation gives them and woke up and said they will not take the chains binding them anymore. Right of arms is the right of any anti colonial movement and we can't imagine the level of faith they must have in a future free palestine to battle million dollar tanks and drones and soldiers equipped with the latest weaponry

"Palestinians were killed long before Hamas was formed and would still be getting killed even if Hamas never existed."
