FEMINIST GIANT is global. It always has been thanks to Global Roundups of feminist news by contributors Samiha Hossain & Inaara Merani.

This past week alone, my essay on the feminist revolution in Iran has been translated into Farsi, Turkish, & Italian feministgiant.com/p/essay-women-…
And my essay Abortion is Normal was translated into French for @courrierinter.

There is a link in the essay to the Arabic translation, by @itmeansagift feministgiant.com/p/abortion-is-…
Thank you all who support FEMINIST GIANT!

You help me pay the contributors and for the Arabic translation by Hiba, and you help me to write essays I've long wanted to write.

Here is the Turkish version of my essay Iran's Feminist Revolution--Women, Life, Freedom, translated by @ezgiepifani for the queer feminist site @velvelemelvele #mahsaminiمهساامینی #IranProtests

My essay was translated into Farsi by a group on Instagram and into Italian for @Internazionale internazionale.it/magazine/mona-…
And I am especially delighted that @Scarleteen which publishes inclusive sexuality and relationships info for teens and emerging adults have begun sharing my essays with their readers

You think those girls flipping their theocrats off in Iran will leave their rage behind in that schoolroom when they go home? You think those girls who chased away an education director from their school grounds will pack up their audacity into their satchels after school is out?
You think those schoolgirls chanting “Death to the dictator” do not go home and see the dictator there as well?

You think that girls around the world are not watching, knowing that they too can erupt?

Glory and power to the women in Iran who have seized the narrative and become object and subject.

feministgiant.com/p/essay-women-… #Mahsa_Amini #IranProtests
Glory and power to girls–their rage, and their daring and their audacity, their immodesty and rebelliousness, their disobedience, and most of all: their knowledge that they deserve to be free.

Point to your “morality police” and what they have made compulsory and burn it to the ground and join the revolution that women in Iran have ignited against theocracy.

And now as I watch schoolgirls in Iran erupt, I feel as if I’ve woken up and there they are!

Immodest. Rebellious. Disobedient. Knowing they deserve to be free. feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-g… #Mahsa_Amini #IranRevolution
I see a rage and determination that cannot be contained. (Anger)

I see middle fingers raised, and I hear Fuck the patriarchy. (Profanity)

When I see pictures and video of schoolgirls in Iran chanting "Death to the dictator," I see a rage and determination that cannot be contained. There is a reason that Anger is one of The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls! #Mahsa_Amini #IranProtests
When I see pictures and video of schoolgirls in Iran, I see middle fingers raised, and I hear Fuck the patriarchy. There is a reason that Profanity is also one of the The Seven Necessary Sins for Women and Girls! #Mahsa_Amini #IranProtests feministgiant.com/p/essay-when-g…
Anger and Profanity are powerful tools in the fight against patriarchy.
