What doesnt kill you makes you dissociate so hard you become a different person

im like if a dead body was alive

I want to say that with trans folk now being at risk of the fucking death sentence in Florida....

The time for community is Now. The time to start planning and organizing how to get our rights back is NOW. bring it up at your local LGBT craft events or book club or support group or whatever. Tell your friends. Spread the word. And maybe see which ones will have the safety and resources you'll need should a Lavender Hunt happen in your area.

And on the scarier end of reality....

This is fucking terrifying. Lots of people are at risk. Personally, I'm terrified this rhetoric will spread much like Trumpism did. I'm scared for my gf and I'm fucking scared for myself because we know historically that it isn't just trans folk on HRT or drag performers that they go after.

And you have every right to do whatever you need to protect yourself.

I'm not going to shame folks who quit HRT, who take the rainbows out of their bio, the people who start saying partner instead of revealing a gender, or anyone else taking a few steps towards the safety that the closet provides. WE shouldn't.

I fucking love you. And we'll be okay as long as we're together, okay?

We keep us safe

This is what I'm talking about for the people unaware.

I looked up the lavender scare last night and was sadly unsurprised to see that the last time the community came together...was a lavender scare.

Pride was a riot because the government started doing to us then what Florida is doing to us now. It was triggered when a man was fired from his job on grounds of being gay and tried to take it to court.

This is why we have pride. This is why "think of the children" is/was an awful rhetoric to push at leather daddies and drag queens. It's not just a bad opinion or stupid discourse, it's a talking point for the right wing to justify fucking kill us.

It was never "just discourse" it was a right wing psyop to cripple us from coming together to fight against attacks just like this.

Your enemies aren't other queer people with labels you don't like. Those are your allies. Because you know who else doesn't like them?

Nazis.

And they don't like you either even if you have a "normal" queer identity and you don't make it "your whole personality" or whatever.

You're both still queer. And that's all they care about. Trying to placate bigots wont save you. Quit playing the part of "acceptable gay" and throwing everyone else under the bus.

Besides, that they WERE thinking of the children when they started those riots dressed in stuff that makes you squirm. They were thinking of You. Of your life. Your children. Queer children.

Hey y'all please reblog this version so people can see the article and explanation, there are a few confused people only seeing earlier versions that dont explain the connection/threat because it doesn't have the article.

An interstate rainbow railroad.

For those unaware that's this. It's been done before.

A lot of people are scared. And I really, really want you to know that the riots started because someone scared asked for help and people answered

It wasn't organized. It just happened. People decided to risk it at a moments notice.

This is ours. And we've done it before.

Stormé Delariverie, the Stonewall Lesbian that triggered it all.

And everyone who was there for her.

We're just like us

So how do we do this?

I played that level in Mario Kart but that was it. I wanna be there be for you, we all do, how do we do that.

I bet one of us could call and just ask. Who doesn't have anxiety. Oh wait it's posted on their site :)

Kinda reads like a How To 👀

Find your niche and offer it.

People need help, you figure out how/who can, and then you follow through.

What can You do?

Because you are not nearly as powerless as they want you to believe, especially with some help.

Come One, Come All to a Tropical Paradise

A visit to the Caribbean islands will make you feel like you have gone to heaven on Earth. Pinch yourself if you think you’re dreaming, but you’ll probably be excited to know that several Caribbean islands welcome the LGBTQ community with open arms.

Don’t just stop at finding the right island, though. You are also going to need to identify the right accommodations, like the exclusive, secluded beach resort you’ve been dreaming of or that all-inclusive gay-friendly resort your neighbors visited.

Keep some of the following thoughts in mind to help you decide on the absolute best gay-friendly islands in the Caribbean.

Turks and Caicos: Pure Paradise

https://sailrocksouthcaicos.com/what-are-the-most-welcoming-and-gay-friendly-caribbean-islands/

“ Barbados, Turks and Caicos, Bahamas, and the Cayman Islands offer some of the best healthcare in the English-speaking regions. Furthermore, these islands offer state of the art facilities. “

We can’t just vote fascism away, the time has come to DISOBEY! (be brave!)

Trans Missourians on HRT, call your doctor as soon as possible and get a 90-day supply or as much as they’ll give you.

Lots of us are going to have to relocate or go through costly and/or illegal channels to acquire HRT now.

I invite trans people in MO to add their payment links this post. We desperately need support. We need people to give a shit right now. This is life-or-death for many of us.

Here’s mine:

The person I reblogged this from deserves all the good things.

“aren’t you tired of being nice” no!!!! i’m tired of everyone else being mean!!!!!!!!

Republicans are cancer.

A good time to remind people about the concept of Jury Nullification. Other terms you may hear in place of jury nullification are conscientious acquittal, juror veto, or jury pardon. At its essence, it is acquitting someone of a crime because you believe defining what they did as a crime is immoral. They did it but the law itself is wrong. It is based on the belief that the role of the jury is not simply to uphold the law but to turn mere law into justice.

Of course that’s exactly why Florida wants to change the law to 8-4 because they don’t want people’s morals to interfere with their pogrom.

Also a good time to remind people that if it looks like a Nazi, sounds like a Nazi, acts like a Nazi, and is supporting policies that Nazis actually had, no matter what they call themselves or what symbols they use, they’re a Nazi.

If you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see, you can find out firsthand what it’s like to be me. don’t repost. redbubble

Your presence has to be equally or more comfortable than my need to be home in solitude
