"Pierce said her son told her, 'I know you buy me boy stuff because I'm a boy, but I'd rather dress like a girl.'"

Jamel was just 9. We can't know whether they'd eventually identify as #trans, but that quote suggests they might have. #SayTheirName #TDoR

If ever we needed reminding how much some people hate #trans folks, a glance at this article (and especially the comments under it) about the murder of Dee Wigham in July 2016 are a stark reminder.

Quite simply they want us dead.

Rest in power, Dee.

It never stops, either.

My apologies for the cascade of horror - August was a brutal month.

Here's a summary of what we know:

I'll tweet out the 3 known so far in September later.

One we missed from late last year.

E. G. Sarat was found dead with a gunshot wound to the back of the head in a house in Xela, Quetzaltenango (Guatemala) on 27 Nov 2017. #SayHerName #TransLivesMatter #TDoR

With that, the number of #trans murder and suicide victims we know about has now reached 325 - the number reported by @TGEUorg for the whole of #TDoR 2017.

Though our data includes details of 26 suicides, which TGEU do not usually include in their list.

medium.com/@annajayne/tdo…
That said, I fully expect the @TGEUorg #TDoR list for this year to be around the 350+ mark and will include many we don't know about.

There is just no way that a handful of independent activists on a couple of Facebook groups can identify every case they can.
On that note, it's time to take the wraps off this.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

President Erdogan threatened in an op-ed in the @nytimes that #Turkey "has alternatives" to its alliance with the US. He's wrong, but we should be very alarmed. Here's a brief primer on the history of the US-Turkey alliance, warts and all, and what's at stake. 1/24
The US-Turkey alliance is rooted in the Truman Doctrine backed by significant US military and development assistance in the late 1940s-1950s designed to keep Turkey out of the Soviet sphere, and enshrined by Turkey joining NATO in 1952 alongside Greece. 2/24
Put crudely, Turkey joined up with the US and NATO because of the centuries-old threat posed by the Russian (then Soviet) military and the need to keep economic and military parity with rival Greece. It wasn't out of admiration or shared values. 3/24

Fun fact: this image was taken in 1914.

(If you enjoyed yesterday's thread you'll love this one, this is an entirely different colour photographic technique from the same time period).
So one of my followers, @amolitor99, pointed out that the Prokudin-Gorskii technique was far from the only colour photography technique from the early 1900s. And while it's true that subtractive colour film such as Kodachrome does date to the mid-1930s, well...
What if we took the same fundamental idea, namely taking three separate black & white photographs, but on the same plate, & put colour filters in-between each layer so each silver halide layer only captured one primary colour?

If you are traveling to Istanbul & Antalya, or are interested in traveling, this might interest you.

1) Istanbul Card is a bliss. It costs 6 Liras and with a top-up of 15 more, it is best to get around.

2) Avoid taksi (taxis). They are exorbitant

#Istanbul
3) If you are a museum person and are going to check out major ones then get the Fast Track pass (125 Liras). If not, just buy the regular tickets at museums/palaces you are interested in.

4) Basilica Cisterna is not a part of the above-mentioned pass.

#Istanbul
5) As a vegetarian/vegan, tons of food options! My breakfast is usually a crunchy simit/ acma with cheese.

6) Wear jeans + Half-sleeved tee + carry a scarf for Blue Mosque. Men, tee+ jeans. Or you can get a covering skirt/covering cloth + scarf for free at the mosque
