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.

More on the US illegal occupation of Hawaii, banning our language, culture, demonization of our trans people, poisoning of our water, and destruction of our advanced socialist society into a colonial slave plantation & imperial gas station:

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.

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
US-occupied Hawaii is living sardine-packed 20-to-an-apartment next to methlabs, paying $3k / month, getting raped by Americans in tacky hotels, especially US soldiers. And then be arrested for speaking your own language, dying in prison, or of diabetes at age 39.
Hawaiian pizza isn't 'Hawaiian' but a colonizer's invention to make tons of money in collaboration with Dole, who helped overthrow our sovereign country, resulting in genocide of Hawaiians, banning our culture, language, and erasing the history.
It was created in Canada by a Sam Panopoulos, who used pineapples Hawaiian Canned Pineapple Co.. HCPC a brand of the now Dole Food Corporation, a company founded by James Dole, cousin of Sanford Dole - a wealthy oligarch who collaborated with the US military to steal our country.
Pineapples, not at all native to Hawaii, were instilled in the world as 'Hawaiian' by Dole's global marketing. He made millions selling his near-slave-labor grown pineapples while he & his cousin helped suppress Hawaiian language & culture, stripping us of our wealth and dignity.
The US imperial rulers, the same ones bulldozing bodies at Al Shifa, is preparing for nuclear WWIII against China, using Hawaii as training ground. You are being prepped with daily g3noc!de images to accept coming mass annihilation.
"POHAKULOA TRAINING RANGE, Hawaii — The Marine gunner knelt... positioned the rocket launcher on his shoulder, focused the sights on his target, a rusted armored vehicle 400 yards away." The sickening glee in describing this WWIII nightmare, practiced in my homeland is revolting.
The US plutocracy knows it can't compete w/ China on EVs, next-gen tech, win-win planetwide cooperation etc. It could move military spending and billionaire financialization toward concrete housing, healthcare, infrastructure and join multipolarity, but the elite refuse.
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.
