Hey idk which cis “ally” needs to hear this, but it is literally never acceptable to out someone as trans without their consent.
Also outing someone as trans to “prove” how progressive you are, no matter who they are, is selfish and dangerous. It is not allyship in any capacity.
Also telling anyone a trans person’s deadname without their explicit consent, for any reason, is an act of transphobia. No exceptions.
Ppl who aren’t trans RT this challenge — allyship involves educating others, not just tolerating us and still expecting us to do all the labor of fighting for our safety and acceptance even when our voices are listened to so much less than cis voices
If a trans person comes out to you, and in response you out someone else to prove you’re “safe”, then you have proved the opposite.
Idk which cis ally needs to hear THIS, but if you aren’t acting against bills currently moving through US state legislatures criminalizing trans children’s existence and care, then your allyship is performative. RT this if nothing else. Please.

Tw eugenics, queer phobia, violence, medical abuse

The curious thing about anti-queer eugenics is that they will never actually work; being queer is not heritable or contagious. Anti-queer eugenics attempts operate on the false belief that we can be eliminated.
These crusades never succeed at eliminating queer people (it’s not possible, we will always be born into every population); but they do succeed at driving us into hiding. For the perpetrators of these actions, that is often good enough.
They often argue that this is “proof” that they’ve eliminated the “evil influence” or that queer people chose to be queer all along.
You can’t eliminate us. You can only make us suffer from your cruelty.

The impacts of chronic severe depression are so consistently underestimated. I think this is because “depression” has become a blanket term and many people do not realize there are actually multiple forms of depression. Here’s a brief thread of types and their differences. 🧵
While DSM criteria are hotly contested, it’s important to know key differences in how depressive issues can manifest.
One of the first major distinctions is the distinction between bipolar depression and unipolar depression.
Bipolar depression is usually shortened to “bipolar”, and can be especially difficult to cope with. This depression manifests as recurring episodes of severely depressed activity followed by severely elevated activity.

All the discourse around Lil Nas X “damaging children”, but almost no discourse on how his art is a direct result of the traumatic anti-queer tactics used against our generation, really shows how the majority of Christians in the United States still believe in conversion therapy.
And before 100000000 Christians come at me about how these people aren’t “real Christians”, TELL THEM THAT, not the victims of their abuse. If you’re more concerned with proving your own innocence than helping victims, you’re part of the problem.
Tw Christianity, abuse, suicide discussion

I guess here’s a bit of backstory about me: I grew up deeply Christian (Presbyterian). I’ve read the Bible in its entirety. I was a true believer.
When I was 16 and questioning, the national Presbyterian church allowed...

Ever notice how every photo of Alan Turing looks so *young*?
It’s because it is. He died at 41 as a direct result of the horrific abuses brought upon him by the very same government that now claims him as a symbol of national pride.
Celebrate queer people while we’re alive.
For those who don’t know, Turing, as a young mathematician and computer scientist, cracked the Enigma Code, the code the Nazi and Axis powers were using to communicate tactical information. It is generally accepted that this contribution was a major turning point in the war.
Sometimes I think about what art, poetry, science, and humanity we’ve lost due to cruelty against queer individuals and refusal to allow us to simply exist. But I have to stop myself, or I’m overwhelmed with the grief of it all.

Fr I’m so tired of the era where queer assimilation was validated and the norm... we’re learning that it won’t save us after all and being ourselves again
Like I truly believe the marriage equality decision and then corporations taking over pride and it becoming viable to market to queer ppl had a huge impact on many “more acceptable” (white, affluent, cis, abled) queer ppl believing they would be embraced if they just behaved
And the rise of certain queer celebrities (Ellen Degeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, etc) being generally accepted was interpreted as something that represented inevitable progress rather than progress that was fought for has allowed for acceptable queers to distance themselves
