What's your opinion on trans people?
as far as im concerned, all people are “trans people” …!
I saw a tiktok talking about the massive shortage of feminine hygiene products in Gaza.
The only charity right now that seems to be helping with this shortage is called Motherbeing
Motherbeing is an organization based on education and providing assistance in healthcare for Arab women.
They recently donated 200,000 sanitary pads as women have been taking dangerous measures to delay their periods out of fear of toxic shock syndrome.
In case you are unaware, toxic shock syndrome is a possibly life threatening infections that develops from wearing a feminine hygiene product, usually tampons or cups, for too long.
They currently don’t have donations open, but people are trying to get them to. There’s products you can buy from their website, however.
This will get like three notes, but I just came across it and I wanted to post something. When something as serious as genocide happens, people forget little things like pads and tampons, which actually can be life threatening.
If you want to donate to charities similar to this one, here’s a few I found:
-Helping Women Period: provides pads and tampons to women (and people with uteruses) who are low income or homeless.
-The Pad Project: supplies low income women with pads all over the world.
-She Supply: provides pads and tampons for homeless women in Texas
-Free the Tampon: organization working towards making sanitary products free
-The Period Panty Project: takes physical donations of sanitary products as well as just donations for women in Ohio.
-Days for Girls: donated reusable pads to women all over the world.
There’s a lot more. Feel free to research
Genuinely so appreciative of Gerard Way just living their life and existing exactly how he wants to exist without ever actually trying to publicly pin down a set of identities as part of his art/performance persona (or making his private life too public in that regard!).
Like yeah he's doing and making a ton of queer shit, it is accurate based on what he has said (he/they pronouns for example) and does to like, talk about them in a queer context cuz that's just TRUE. And also that's HIS business and i really wish that more people were just able to do that you know?
The details of the labels don't actually matter all that much to me i just want to see other queer people out there in life fully experiencing and expressing themselves. Like he's a DAD and that's such a beautiful thing, that they're just somebody's dad and also they parade around onstage in Such Outfits and identify with femininity in a way that cishet people often don't and i just... Yeah! I love that, i want to be that someday too
