Transfeminine Erasure Is So Strong That People Will Act Like You're A Hysterical Attention Seeker If

Transfeminine erasure is so strong that people will act like you're a hysterical attention seeker if you even bring it up.

Like, what else am I supposed to call it when everyone, even other queer people, insist that trans women are a modern Western invention? And insist that any person or group that shares incredible similarity to myself and other trans women are anything but?

What else am I supposed to call it when a highly popular Youtube channel supposedly comitted to diversity makes a video about HRT without consulting any transfeminine people (even though they did think to consult a trans man) and spreads dangerous misinformation about transfeminine HRT as a result? Especially since this is the common state of affairs when it comes to transfeminine HRT.

What else am I supposed to call it when multiple fiction anthologies claiming to represent all trans people consistently exclude transfeminine authors?

What else am I supposed to call it when everyone is considered more of an authority on the transfeminine experience than actual trans women and transfems?

What else am I supposed to call it when everyone, from straight up fascists to 'progressives', from cishets to other trans people, will constantly deny that trans women face intense violence for being trans women. Even as they subject us to that violence everyday, even as the statistics show again and again that transfeminine people face more overall violence than any other gender group, cis or trans.

The denial of this erasure is part of it, and I wish so badly that people would see this.

A distress call from a family trapped in Gaza to stay alive

We need you to spread our story to the world.

I am Diaa Ayyad from Gaza, I joined my sisters ( @asmaayyad , @esraayyad14, @samaayyad15 ) So that we can collect donations as soon as possible so that we can leave Gaza when the Rafah crossing reopens.

In this difficult time. The past 11 months of displacement and famine have exacerbated our suffering and unbelievable difficulties. We have used all the sad words to describe the situation we have reached, but these words were not enough. The scale of the tragedy and suffering is much greater than what you may have seen on social media.

nearsighted therizinosaurus father and his three four regular children

Whilst in many ways we live in the worst timeline, seeing an ace person lead London Pride has been a real highpoint of my year. Thankyou, @theyasminbenoit and everyone else who made that happen :)
