I literally get so many harassing threatening messages from other trans people saying that if I don't detransition they're going to kill me, followed by "I'm kidding, it's just my kink", that I won't date trans people anymore.

Cisgender people can understand that being told that "if you don't detransition someone's going to murder you" is hate speech and makes people feel unsafe. Transgender people who are into that transphobic shit don't understand that they are sexually harassing and terrifying other trans people whenever they say that.

Plus not only are you threatening me in that situation, and being transphobic, but then by telling me that you are sexually gratified by saying that to me it makes me feel like you're trying to rape me or like you're going to rape someone else, because you're not respecting consent.

Honestly at this point if I went on a date and someone told me that they had transphobic kinks, I would probably start feeling scared for my life, and I would more than likely try to run away or would just start trying to defend myself. If they don't understand that kink requires consent, then they aren't interested in actually participating in kink They're probably going to rape someone and I don't want that someone to be me.

I don't want to be raped and murdered by some transphobic piece of shit, and I don't think it's sexy to say that you want to murder me because I'm transgender and being transphobic towards me. It just makes me think you're a rapist and a murderer who's transphobic.

And if someone takes offense to this then I'm going to assume that that means that they or the type of person who doesn't wait for consent before threatening people or being transphobic, and I'm not afraid to call them a rapist over it.

Because that's what rapists do.

They don't acknowledge other people's consent whenever they look for sexual gratification, and do not care that they are hurting people.

High school bullying is crazy, I just have to let people commit acts of blatant discrimination and hate crimes against me then I wake up in the middle of the night blood curdling screaming out of pent up rage. Oh but you know, teenage boys are just immature, we can’t punish them too hard.

America is attacking trans people, but they are also attacking indigenous people. They don’t want people to know that we are still alive, and we still carry our culture. Say Nex Benedict’s name, and say it loud. But not just because they were trans. But because they were Two Spirited aswell. Native Americans are perhaps some of the most widely ignored, forgotten, and hated POC community in America, and it’s unfair because this was our land until you forced us out of our homes and into small camps. Please, support local POC communities. Buy from Indigenous owned businesses. And don’t let anyone forget about Nex Benedict.

as a transmasc minor in a US state where we are very explicitly unwelcome by government standards, let's talk about Nex Benedict.

(apologies for a very scrambled rant but I have many. many. things to say. please read TWs)

I am SO UPSET because I have not seen a SINGLE PERSON talking about the update in his case. The rage and frustration and grief on my fyp died within a week or so. I am still so, so mad. And today's update made me 10x even angrier.

Nex Benedict's death was self-inflicted. But let's not pretend it's not worth talking about. Let's not blame it on the "trans mental illness", let' blame it on the BULLIES. Let's blame it on the INSUFFICIENT TRANS HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. Let's blame it on the state of Oklahoma beinga douchebag to trans minors. Let's blame it on how SUFFOCATING it is to live as a trans youth in this country. Every few weeks, I watch as another state falls to hate and discrimination. I hear about more murd3rs of trans women, more 0verdoses, more deaths. I am scared of EVERYONE and EVERYTHING because I don't know who the disease that is transphobia has infected. I am scared of being beat up in a bathroom or harassed at work or school or my government taking my future possibility of finding true joy and freedom away.

And let's not forget the negligence of police at the face of a hate crime. I hope that tonight, their pillows are warm and they lay awake, feeling the blood on their hands. There is blood on their hands. I wish the same for everyone who stood by as Nex was bullied, beaten, and ignored to the point of breaking. This needs to be a wake up call to anyone who hasn't seen the effects of transphobia in systems of government, in schools, in the police system.

If you are trans, especially trans youth, I love you. We will power through. Nex is not a sign of the end for us, but hopefully, an end for them. Become active in your local trans spaces. Speak out. Speak up. You are alive, you are breathing, and we cannot let them take that. Transphobia will not win.

I have more thoughts, but my heart just can't right now. Stick it to the man. ACAB. Trans rights. Remember Nex Benedict.

On being a shapeshifter for safety reasons

(at least that's what I call myself)

TW: mentions of judging people based on appearance, hate crimes, catcalling, fluidity in gender expression, social disparity, privilege.

*

What do you mean people don't shift depending on what the occasion calls for?

Oh this is not judging people for their looks. That's about letting people prejudice manipulate them for me so that I can be safer or be left alone, or to avoid that my very existence gets questioned.

Imagine I have to take a train, okay? First of all I want to be comfy but apart from that, I need to take other things into account.

Is it a day train? I can present as either masc or femme, no big deal there. But if it is a night train, you can bet my binder will be on and my face will be frowny and I'll pull my cap lower to hide my features better. I'll put my earphones on but without any music. I'll walk fast to a seat and don't look around. Nothing to see here. Just another guy traveling. Not worth a second glance.

Is it an expensive train? I don't want the ticket inspector to check my id three times so I'll put on a button up and a blazer and maybe even put make up on. I'll look like a businesswoman who could own his ass and sue it to the moon if he so much as tries to get a word in. Safer to look expensive, just like all the other expensively travellers.

But if I am taking a cheap train, the train where people sleep because their working shifts have worn them out, the trains that smell of unrest and injustice and resentment against the people in power, then it's gonna be a baggy t-shirt for me and worn sneakers and I'll let my tired face show too.

Blending in, staying safe. 

Is this sad? Maybe. Maybe I should be fighting to be able to express myself regardless of setting. But the reality is, I don't want my face in the news.

You see it way too often. The violence against someone that could be me. AFAB, queer, young, different. Someone deciding your existence is a threat, or that you owe them something. A smile. A chat. More. *Shudder* 

I am already extremely privileged and I know that. Not everyone can do this. Not everyone can shift. The color of my skin helps me. The fact that I can to a point blend into the surroundings helps me. The fact that I live in a generally safe country is a privilege. I acknowledge it and I am grateful for it. 

I love shifting. I love to be able to change. I wouldn't (pardon the pun) change anything about it. But sometimes I wish I could do it only out of pleasure and not out of fear.

All of these are me and I am all of these and much more.

I know that I'm not totally knowledgeable about this, but you should look up the information regarding the police murdering 6 indigenous people since Augst 29th. I could only find anything about 6, but I'm not from Canada nor am I an indigenous person. I could have missed something. I'll post this link here too. Feel free to share add your own.

TW: gun violence, death by gun, antisemitism, hate crimes, murder, mass murder

The man who killed 11 people in the Tree of Life synagogue in 2018 has been sentenced to death by unanimous decision. I hope all of the families, friends, neighbors, survivors, and all else affected by this can finally find some peace. Let’s think of them today and remember to continue to fight against antisemitism.

The people killed were Rose Mallinger, Bernice Simon and her husband, Sylvan Simon, brothers David Rosenthal and Cecil Rosenthal, Dan Stein, Dr. Jerry Rabinowitz, Joyce Fienberg, Melvin Wax, Irving Younger, and Richard Gottfried. Dan Leger and Andrea Wedner, Mallinger’s daughter, survived the attack. Remember them.

keep seeing posts about brianna. seeing them makes me feel sick but i don’t know what i could even possibly do about it. most posts i’ve seen are screaming for justice, which i agree is deserved, but every time i see pictures of her all i can think is that this should never have happened in the first place. she looked so sweet and she was so young. justice, yes, obviously, but fuck. the fact that we can’t bring her back kills me. the fact that two children younger than her felt they had the authority to end her life and take her away from her family is completely unfathomable to me. how sick can they be to be able to do something like that? justice for brianna, but the fact that this happened is terrifying, devastating, and sickening. i just wish it had never happened, and i wish we could sign petitions to somehow reverse time, not fucking beg the uk pigs to take this crime seriously

[pinkantagonist]

someone defaced all the pride stickers and pride flags that are hanging up outside the animal shelter I volunteer at.

apparently this happened at a bunch of local businesses in my city.

doesn’t matter if you live in a liberal area I guess… it’s getting scary out there for us. Stay safe everyone.

I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry.

So, yes, you were expecting to sprout wings and flap through a pair of golden gates, not sink into the pit where I live. I may not be human, but I know humans, at least, I thought I did. I may have tentacles, but I know what it would feel like to have hands and feet. Every song created and performed by humanity is stuck in my head, with my brain being an organic jukebox.

Nobody believes in me, no-one knows my name, no-one knows this God, so one day, I thought I'd crawl beneath a small town that seemed for all the world like the real version of Moralton - yes, I can recite every word of every episode of Moral Orel, I told you I know what humans create - and I'd pose as their God. Just so someone would do something I say.

I wouldn't be a loud booming voice shaking the very cosmos, rather a little suggestion within their minds. Bring a bag of dead insects to the woods and I'll make it a sunny day. Bury some fish heads and your picnic will be a pleasant one.

What I didn't tell anyone was to kill any humans. So when a resident of that town killed you in the name of their God, some loophole or other meant they killed you in the name of me, and...well...here you are.

I'm so sorry this had to happen. I'm so sorry you had to die for being who you are.

Sit with me. This isn't the heaven you were expecting but I'll make it heaven. I'll grant you your heart's desire. I'll use whatever power I had to create for you a beautiful home, to feed you with your favourite foods, and to give you the best seat in the house as I rise and destroy the people who laughed at your demise.

It turns out when you die you don’t face your own God, but instead face the God of whomever or whatever killed you.

Nex's story hits me hard not just bc the current state of things and backlash against trans youths existing but also because it reminds of an incident in school when my friend, an openly gay teen who dealt with so much homophobia he ended up constantly being sick from all the stress, broke his ankle in gym class and instead of calling an ambulance or driving him to the hospital, the teacher told him to "call someone to get him", which was an issue bc of his family situation, so he called me and I ended up having to run across the school looking for a teacher who would actually be willing to help. I'm glad nothing worse ever happened bc I knew they would've fucked it up and someone would've died. Even the teachers who weren't openly bigoted were more than willing to just look away when kids were getting bullied and harassed. One girl had to switch schools. I'm surprised we only had one suicide with how careless and sometimes even malicious teachers were.

look at my doctors dawg im gonna die

[hecateisalesbian]

Two trans teenagers deaths. This is the future that our world is creating. Protect children until it’s children you believe don’t deserve to live. News outlets and social media is quieting the deaths of these two souls. Leaving out details and fabricating lies. Yell their names to everyone who will listen. Nex Benedict and Brianna Ghey.

[viro-lil-goat]

I really hope this reaches more people, I'm only reposting this information from Instagram, the least that I can do. (Update: I changed their upbringing as it appears to have been listed wrong) Wiki page

When I just saw this information I couldn't stop crying thinking about it, and now my heart aches. They were the same age as me, I know for a fact like any other teen they dreamt of their future, who they would want to become, what to achieve, create, wondering if they meet those in the future they can call friends, wondeting if it'll get better when they grow up, maybe wished to leave that terrible place or maybe wanted to stay. How could anyone let this happen, why were they discharged from hospital so easily? And the school, we all know why. I hate to think about how, even with all the progress made, these things still happen.

"murdered schoolgirl Brianna Ghey on February 16, 2023. Candlelit vigils are being held across the UK this week for Brianna Ghey, 16, who was stabbed at Linear Park in Culcheth, Cheshire last Saturday. Brianna was a transgender girl and police are now investigating her killing as a hate crime. A boy and girl, both 15, have been charged with her murder"

An article that explains trans hate crime murders as on 2023

I hate everyone who have ever committed such vile hate crimes, I wish them in prison and hell. But i would never go down to their level. But I also blame the government, the school, and even those bigoted online accounts that teach their followers hate. In this case LibsOfTikTok, who targeted the teacher of this school, who supports lgbtq+, so they had to leave their position. It must have been the push for this to happen. I think their tiktok account has been thankfully deleten. But i have no idea about Twitter or any other. Please check and mass report them if it still exists. (Link to Instagram reel that this information is from)

ADDITION, PLEASE MASS REPORT THESE ACCOUNTS
