As the US tries to erase trans people, remember trans, non-binary & gender-fluid people are accepted in Hawaiian culture (i.e. mahu), & play vital roles in our resistance against colonization & US genocide of Hawaiians. Binary gender is a Western, imperial concept, forced on us.
I often alter my own presentation. I'm in support of LGBTQ+ rights generally, but this is also about self-decolonization & reclamation of gender-fluid Hawaiian culture that was stolen from me. Hawaiian language was banned by the US, when I was born.
It's also important to remember the control of bodies & gender expression is integral to interlocking systems of white supremacy, patriarchy, & capitalism. Devaluation of certain genders & races over others allows devaluation of their labor - i.e. care work, 'unskilled jobs' etc.
Silver Spook Games is an anti-capitalist Hawaiian run cooperative, & we also fully support trans people - I am Native Hawaiian & identify non-binary myself.
Unlike some games like Harry Potter, whose anti-trans billionaire JKR is backed by all Western parties.
More on my anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist cyberpunk game Neofeud about my life as an impoverished indigenous Hawaiian, social worker and STEM teacher for other poor/homeless, living in slums beneath billionaire mansions.

Many countries are far more accepting of LGBTQ+ people and give them access to their gender affirming care needs than the US and other Western countries.

School is where kids
-Get covid brain and organ damage
-Get bullied (especially if #trans #indigenous non-white)
-Be conditioned into an order-taking capitalist cog in your future tyrannical workplace
-be babysat while parents are capitalist cogs 8+ hrs / day spreading plague
In school you also
-Get substandard education (54% of US is below junior high reading level BEFORE covid neuron destruction)
-Forced indoctrination into American exceptionalism / capitalism / fictional history / brain poison.
...Wait nevermind. Schools out forever!
Everyone's immune systems are compromised, there are record covid cases (1 million+ /day). Every reinfection eats more brains and bodies.
The world will never go back to "normal". In work, play, education, travel. But "normal" was killing us and the planet. Accept it and change.
The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, let us die in Maui fires, devastated our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence
Hawaii is a Disneyland-like resort built over our indigenous communities & ancestor's graves, made to do bastardizations of sacred dances, in 'sexy feather headresses' & entertain the rich tourists for starvation wages, 12 hrs a day 7 days a week, drinking jet fuel poisoned water

As a Native Hawaiian I can confirm this! The US has been illegally occupying Hawaii, banned our language and culture, and literally beat the Hawaiian language out of my mom in schools. It is an ongoing crime against humanity what the US is doing here.
More on the US ban of Hawaiian language and culture, & illegal US occupation of Hawaii on our stolen land, the US military poisoning our water along w/ other Pacific Islands to make imperialist war on China and all of Asia to maintain global supremacy.
The US continues committing ongoing genocide in Hawaii by punishing kids speaking Hawaiian - after invading our country, imprisoning our leaders, destroying our universal healthcare, using us as a leaking military gas station, etc.
As a Native Hawaiian, I think Disney should cancel Moana, & stop stealing Hawaiian culture for profit. Also, end the $144 million Disney Aulani resort on our stolen land, & stop collaborating with the US military occupation that poisons our water, & banned our language & culture.
Disney & the rest of the exploitative US corporate entertainment industry should also stop abusing their writers, actors and other workers. Executives make tens of millions while writers have been skipping meals to get by.
We Native Hawaiians don't need Lilo & Stitch, or any American corp making billions plundering our culture, pushing Disney resorts, with underpaid writers. We need a sci-fi movie about the end of the genocidal US illegal occupation, written and produced by Native Hawaiians.
