#Egypt: Imprisoned trans woman Malak al-Kashif sexually assaulted, subjected to forced anal examination in state hospital /goo.gl/7dNHun h/t @rushakamel @rerutled #LGBTQ madamasr.com/en/2019/03/12/…
Kashif, who was swept up in the post-Ramses Station crash arrest campaign alongside over 70 others, has been held in custody since March 6 when she was arrested from her house in a sting operation. #LGBTQ
Kashif’s legal team do not know who ordered the forced anal examinations but have pledged to take legal action against the party responsible.

Forced anal examinations are routinely performed by Egyptian investigators on detainees authorities identify as trans women or gay men.

“Anti-Muslim rhetoric has been normalized by mainstream right-wing news outlets, many of which are owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch.” washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pac… #ChristchurchMosqueShootings
#Australia has history of far-right groups that have targeted immigrants & minorities. From start of 20th C, it adopted policies designed to exclude immigrants of non-Euro origin. These measures, known collectively as White Australia policy, were fully abandoned only in 1973.
In mid-90s,far-right political parties e.g.Pauline Hanson’s One Nation were able to draw on antiimmigrant sentiment vs Asians to gain foothold in national politics. In recent yrs,One Nation & other rightwing groups have gained political relevance by pivoting to Muslim immigration

To be clear: fuck Trump and the Islamophobia he peddles in BUT he did not create it. He is an inheritor of:
- GOP outright hatred & incitement vs Muslims
- Democrats’ cowardly use of the “good Muslim” card: “Muslims are in our armed forces & police”
In 2016 elections:
- Donald Trump was vowing to ban Muslims (which he did via Muslim Ban bs 6 countries)
- Clinton had Kizr Khan and his wife Ghazala Irshad at DNC - parents of a Muslim soldier who was killed in the US war in Iraq. ie Muslims are “good” and fight “our” wars.
Russ Feingold was the ONLY senator - Democrat or GOP - who in 2001 voted against the Patriot Act. Who cared about surveillance and all that shit when it was portrayed as targeting a bunch of brown Muslims, hey?

1/ Today, @realDonaldTrump praised the actions of his administration & radical lawmakers in places like Kansas & Oklahoma who are licensing anti-LGBTQ discrimination in child welfare services.

Here's what you need to know about the dangerous consequences of measures like these:
2/ Nine states, including 5 states in the last 3 years, have passed laws allowing taxpayer-funded child welfare programs (adoption and foster care services) to pick and choose to whom they provide the services the government has paid them to provide.
3/ These state laws allow agencies to refuse to work with #LGBTQ people, and some also allow them to refuse various medical treatments to LGBTQ children in their care.

I haven't read this yet, but not a big fan of being described as "natal male" – it's f-ing 2018, people know what "trans woman" means! and why is my baby status even relevant to something I wrote as an adult? STOP TALKING IN BABY TALK PEOPLE!!!
from the replies I'm seeing, I probably shouldn't even bother looking at it, huh? and yes, I was already aware of The Economist's history of publishing trans-skeptical/problematic pieces over the last year or two...
here is @ZackFord with a THREAD breaking down of the many problems with this piece... #trans #transgender #LGBTQ
