Brianna Ghey had family support, friends, and a popular TikTok account. These support systems are crucial but even they can’t withstand the cruel, public attacks on trans livelihood. These “debates” over our humanity have deadly consequences.
Brianna rightfully holds significant media attention during this troubled time. But she was not the only trans teen killed recently. Just in the U.S., Ariyanna Mitchell, Katie Newhouse, and trans siblings Jeffrey "JJ" Bright and Jasmine Cannady - all trans youth of color - lost their lives to violence. Every one of their names should be remembered in the fight to end trans dehumanization.
Theory time
{ Gonna say this, this is not a radfem post so if you're a radfem kindly fuck off. Because you're not in this conversation, you openly oppress and harm others just like hateful cis straight men do.}
I've noticed cis straight men HATE the zodiac, crystals, witchcraft and all that but I got a theory on WHY.
IT'S BECAUSE UNLIKE MOST OTHER BELIEFS THEY ARE NOT IN CHARGE.
Yes you heard me I think it's likely cis straight men feel threatened And mock these forms of spirituality/beliefs because it doesn't push misogynistic values and put men at the head on things or have a divine that's a dude.
Notice how it was cis straight dudes that started the hate against crystals, witchcraft, cleansings, reiki, the evil eye, tarot, Horoscopes and all that...
These sorts of spiritualities are normally dominated by woman and LGBTQ+, both of these groups are oppressed outsiders in many cis straight dominated religions. Normally women and LGBTQ+ ppl support each other on those communities and uplift each other. I think that's another reason cis straight men see it as such a threat.
Just saying
{ when I say women on this post or on any post I ever make on this account I mean all women both cis and trans. Because trans women are women }
Me everyday, going to check my bookmarks to see in any of my favorite fics have been updated:
hot flaming take i’m abt to slap you with: it’s not acceptable to punish children for their grades, no matter the circumstances.
Athena, explaining why Dionysus should drink water: Water solves all your problems! Wanna lose weight? Drink water! Clear skin? Drink water.
Ares, from across the room: Tired of someone? Drown them!
So I know this isn’t our main concern right now but am I the only one who thinks the Akutagawa siblings make really hot vampires lmao
