My beloved @rerutled’s father Dick died on May 6, after a COVID19 diagnosis. There can be no funeral. Mourning over Zoom is gutting.

Today May 7 is beloved Robert’s birthday.

Dick: rest well, you are loved.
Thank you for raising the beautiful son who became the man I love.
Robert beautifully eulogizes his father here. All who are sad and mourning today, my heart hears you
Sadly, @rerutled’s mother Norma died before I had a chance to meet her. I first met Dick at Norma’s funeral in April 2015. He was warm and welcoming on such a sad day for him and his family. Norma and Dick were loving parents to Robert & his 5 siblings. Rest well, Norma and Dick.
Thank you all sending loving thoughts and condolences. @rerutled and I have read each and every tweet.

Love and solidarity ❤️✊🏽💜

#Egyptian actor Hisham Selim revealed on TV that his child who was assigned female at birth had transitioned has been applauded on social media. He and his trans son Nour have been interviewed together. bbc.com/news/world-525… #LGBTQ
"Honestly, when thinking about it I thought, 'Thank God, it's not the other way around,'" Hisham Selim told DW Arabic.

Patriarchy always tears its fucking head:

Hisham Selim confessed that“his reaction might not have been the same if his son had wanted to identify as a woman”
Read this important analysis of the way Hisham Selim and #Egypt have reacted to the news of his trans son Nour: A ray of hope for the trans community, yet will we start seeing the forest for the trees? yallafeminists.home.blog/2020/05/11/a-r… #LGBTQ

“My weapons are words,” Jill Nelson, was arrested by NYPD officers for scribbling “Trump=Plague” on a boarded-up storefront.

“I frankly feel, as an African American woman and a person of color,that it’s open season on us in every way”

Fuck this racism, #NYC #Covid_19
“...it’s open season on us in every way. From the disproportionate number of people who are dying of COVID-19, people with the worst healthcare, people who are doing the most vulnerable jobs, to young people beaten down for allegedly not social distancing” hyperallergic.com/562782/journal…

I told @washingtonpost that not a single man has been arrested or put on trial as a result of #MosqueMeToo but that was never my goal when I launched it. My goal is achieved one woman at a time whenever a Muslim woman speaks out about her sexual assault washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
I was called a liar when I first spoke out about my sexual assault at hajj. Now, we are too many to be dismissed as liars.

This is the first ever FEMINIST GIANT Dispatch: about why I launched #MosqueMeToo and #IBeatMyAssaulter

🎥 @rerutled

In addition to the shame that is unjustifiably flung at victims of sexual assault — a shame that had silenced me — Muslim women face another burden that discourages them from speaking out. They are caught between a rock and a hard place. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
