How this country treats someone who (ALLEGEDLY) killed ONE PERSON

Verses how this country treats a man who has and continues to bomb people he knows are innocent…

Update: and the one on the left possibly faces the death penalty. Here’s my thoughts.

was skimming through a book on queer history and read about how in the UK, the reason they refused to pass an anti-lesbian law in the 1800s was explicitly to prevent women from realizing lesbianism existed. that was the reason they gave. that passing the law would acknowledge lesbianism as an option and they couldn't possibly risk that.

and i just think that's like. such a perfect example of lesbian + transmasc erasure. our """safety""" is having politicians shape laws around preventing people from ever knowing we exist so that no good little daughters / future wives get any Ideas. and on top of that if we do manage to scrape out an existence for ourselves despite this, we are constantly in danger of outed and murdered by a jealous husband/father/brother or just someone who hates queers and/or women or thrown in an insane asylum to be abused until we die in silence. okayyyyyy 👍

me: you literally have a disorder. this is symptoms

me: no perhaps my soul is rotten

Republicans deliberately use coded language to trick people to vote for them and radicalize their group. Many don't even realize they're radicalized or what they're saying is even racist. This is why they think the Left is "over reacting" because the either know they're using coded language and don't care, or they don't know anything at all.

Sure, boss, I’d still be ya henchman if you was a woim

Hey, cis women who say "I wish I was a man but definitely not a trans way, haha! I would never be a man :)"

I say this with all the gentleness in my heart: It is okay for you to be a man. If you want to be a man, you can just be one. You also don't have to stop being a woman to be a man. Multigender people exist. You can be a man and a woman at the same time. Or you can be just a man, or a non-binary man, or non-binary, or something entirely different. You can do and be whatever you want and whatever makes you happy.

Becoming a man is not a betrayal of womanhood and feminism. And everyone who makes you feel like it is an absolute asshole, and you should not ever listen to them. You do not have to push your own happiness aside for other peoples' comfort.

If you want to be a man, try it out! See where it gets you. Maybe it turns out that you really weren't trans, or not a trans man but something else entirely, and that's fine, too. Maybe it turns out you are a trans man. In any case, following those thoughts might get you to a happier and better place in the end. And if you turn out to be happier as a man than you were as a woman, that is wonderful.

Please don't feel forced to stay a cis woman for feminism - any feminism that mistreats or hates trans men and transmasculine people is bad feminism. Being a trans man or transmasc is not a moral failure.

Trans manhood and masculinity are wonderful, and you deserve happiness. And if you find that happiness in manhood/masculinity, you don't deserve to be shamed or harassed for it, and you should not be made to feel the need to put yourself down for it, either.
