It's true!! Imagine this painful scene... A mother lived with hope for her son's return, even though she knew deep down that he had been gone for more than a year and a half. Donate here But the tragedy is not over yet... Today, amidst the rubble, she finally found her son, but not as she had hoped to find him; all that remained of him was a skeleton! Nevertheless, she did not hesitate for a moment, hugging him to her chest as if he were still alive, as if she could bring him back to life with her love and longing. This is not a scene from a tragic novel; it is the reality of Gaza, where loss is endless and pain knows no bounds. Donate here

idk how thats not obvious to everyone but you really can’t both hate men and love trans people at the same time. there will always be a section of trans people you’ll hurt. whether it be trans men as a whole, closeted trans women, trans women who you refuse to acknowledge as women because they don’t fit your idea of womanhood, multigender and/or genderfluid people who are sometimes and/or partly men. even if you have a clause that says ‘*except trans ones’, you are still forcing us to out ourselves. that is dangerous. that kills people.
and frankly youve already made me feel unsafe enough around you that i definitely do not want to out myself, cuz in my experience, 9 times out of 10, people who hate men are way more violent in their hatred to trans people than cis men, even if they claim to be an ally, because they know they can get away with it.
side note but they’ll also be more violent towards black men, latino men, mentally ill men, any men that are societally considered more violent. for the same reasons. and also because if you’re afraid of masculinity, you will be more afraid of those who have been hypermasculanized. you are not immune to the biases who’ve steeped in since birth.
someone tagged one of my fundraising posts with "cw palestine". there are no photos on my post, no graphic descriptions. just people's names and how far they are from their goals. even if i had included photos or recounted suffering in intricate detail, how dare you? how fucking dare you put a content warning on people BEGGING for your attention when your tax dollars sponsor their destruction? no one can turn away and still claim a conscience.
here are more palestinians who have reached out to me in the past week.

Man it’s fucking obnoxiously insidious how blatant this shit is. Oh suddenly we have a guide to watch out for scams, oh suddenly PayPal is discontinuing their fundraiser services, around the year mark of the 7th? Like scams havent been an issue for years already and it’s just a coincidence how targeted it all is?
And while im at it you fucking ghouls who share the chart of Uhmm Well How Is It A Genocide When There’s So Many Of Them :-) and mock peoples suffering as performative, as they ask for a chance to live and say Well English isn’t your first language so this is a scam LOL, to turn a blind eye to the HOSPITALS being put up as targets because Obviously its all hamas and misinformation- and if it isnt, its still hamas and justified. All the bodies are justified. All the people bleeding out and starving are justified. Every man, woman, and child could be a terrorist. Don’t you know?
There is nothing in the world to justify any of this. for the love of god please help who you can and keep spreading fundraisers, these are people begging for their lives. These are people begging for their lives
one consequence of transmisogyny (but not unique to it) is that it makes you into a paranoiac. take the example of the "degendering they" or like the "backhanded compliment," relatively minor interpersonal interactions that trans women increasingly feel hypervigilant about. it's probably counterproductive to assume everyone who gives you a compliment or refers to you as "they" or "this person" (<- phrase that actually revolts me a little now in this context) is doing so condescendingly, in a malicious or even just incidentally diminishing way. but also, everything about your life as a trans woman encourages you to be on alert for these kinds of cues, because if you're not paying attention to them then when the hammer drops it will hit that much harder.
You know the drill by the now. Buy eSims!

am i losing my mind or did tumblr change things again? everyones icons look bigger???
eye-opening tumblr post for me included the words "people are meant to be burdens" as in humans rely on and support one another and it's not a bother it's our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you're being annoying just remember we were made to love and it's going to be okay
Heyyyyy the boops are cute and all ^^ but- while you're clicking that boop button. Why not click for Palestine as well? It helps alot, keep eyes on Palestine!
