Fyi my first political passion has always been women's rights & feminism, even before I was trans.
Actual bullshit that I'm forced to spend so much time trying to stay alive against a barrage of transphobia instead of focus on greater feminist issues
Leave trans women alone.
She was cis btw. I have many times told men to fuck off from harassing cis women but somehow everyday there is a news story in the media calling me a rapist simply because I'm trans.
Maybe because I've been an assault survivor since I was 15 I will fucking destroy these cunts rather than submit to sexual intimidation and patriarchy.
If I see a motherfucker harassing someone they are going to fuck off or they will FIND OUT 🔪
If transphobes ever try to murder me they will fucking regret it.
I'm fucking fearless and I am ready to do what it takes to defend myself.
Predatory men are pussies. I am a fucking dragon.

Most outlets claim Nazis "hijacked" the GC rally. PP invited anyone who opposes trans rights to attend. Some of the people who came to support her hate were Nazis. They didn't stop the GCs talking. So there was no hijacking.
It's just factually wrong. They are part of the demographic she invited (anyone who is anti-trans). They showed up with anti-trans signs. It's completely ridiculous to act like they're a seperate unrelated group.
GCs aren't an organisation. They're random bigots aligned by hate.
I am so fucking concerned at the state of journalism across the world.
So many people just not doing their jobs in a basic way.
It led to Trump. It led to Nazis.
Who knows where it will go next because news organisations aren't being responsible with fact checking & biases.
When it comes to protests many journalists will say it's "unclear what happened" even though there's 100s of people talking about what happened with photographic evidence on social media & I'm unclear if this is a political decision to not do your job or if standards have fallen
Like if I, a rando with no journalism degree, can go thru accounts on socials, find who seems reliable, message them & ask for clarification/details, corroborate that with other accounts
I feel like actual journalists could do this too rather than make shit up about trans people
Example: at the Brighton counter protest to KJK the media reports 2 people were arrested
In reality 3 different people were arrested in 2 completely unrelated incidents (1 GC rapist & 2 trans protestors who the Police grabbed at random after an unknown person threw a smoke bomb)
Having counter protested KJK before this actually isn't the first time Nazis & violent men have showed up in EXPLICIT SUPPORT of KJK & "Let Wome!n Spea!k"
But the thing that disturbs me is how easily they claim those people "aren't one of us" & the media often just believe them
Like I'm already seeing a lot of news outlets on Melbourne claiming the Nazis "hijacked" the protests or they weren't directly connected to KJK when some basic investigation will tell you they are on the GC team.
Like the media are literally lying.
Nazis are as much part of KJK's fan club as the GC women who show up to these things
They both show up because they are fans of her & at the Brighton rally I counter protested the Nazis & the recorded rapist were both allowed onto the GC side of the Police line despite being men
In light of a brown trans woman likely taking her own life after being manipulated to detransition by family I'm begging everyone to protect brown queers who are uniquely vulnerable to violence & manipulation if we come out & need special support & mutual aid
💔
Brown queers from south asian or middle eastern backgrounds who don't have supportive family can have these risks if we come out:
-forced arranged marriage
-tricked into another country to control us
-murder
-banishment from family
-hiring someone to manipulate or stalk us
I find this difficult to talk about because white queers seem incapable of talking about this without being racist
In South Asia specifically a history of British colonialist influence has left a social conservatism & hatred of Queerness
I'm not aware of all the details because I don't live in the US but America is currently undergoing a scandal that is similar to what the UK formerly went through, where transphobic campaigners lied & claimed kids were being rushed through transition.
In the UK, this has been...
In the UK this has been utterly proved false but horrendous damage was done in the meantime.
At one point there was 0 transition healthcare for anyone under 18.
It has also normalised an environment where your individual healthcare can be challenged in court by random strangers
I'm not the person to follow for the US scandal, but from seeing something similar (ish) play out over here this has the potential for some very dangerous damage to trans lives, especially trans kids & it's very important we talk about this & highlight transphobic misinformation.
