Knowing That Trans Women Of Color Started The Movement In The United States And Were Literally Immediately

i can’t say “angry birds ratios a transphobe” was on my 2023 bingo card, but i’m not disappointed

[ID: A banner on the Health Disparities Among LGBQ Youth government website saying "Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department reject it." /END ID]

Hey tumblr.

As you may have heard the words trans and queer were completely erased from the fucking STONEWALL national Parks page on the US Government site. Yes, Stonewall, as in the one at the beginning of the LGBTQIA+ movement, in which many people whom are trans or would have been considered under the trans umbrella today were a HUGE part of of the beginning of the movement for. The one in which many of the people involved in use the word queer to describe themselves were involved. YEAH. THAT ONE.

So not to sugar coat it this is the most 1984 shit I’ve ever seen.

(Added highlights to some instances, but the whole page is like this)

However there is one small thing we can do.

This is the contact form at the bottom of the page. You’ll notice it says it’s an official government form and you can state if something was helpful.

Listen I know this isn’t the sexiest or most helpful form of direct action but there is SOMETHING we can do, which is being really fucking annoying to them.

Much like we’ve been doing with Google and Apple Maps, we can use this form to state that this is fundamentally unhelpful, erasing a part of history, and to fucking put the T and Q back (also the IA+, but vitally those two given how obviously they were slashed from the text).

If nothing else we just fucking review bomb the shit out of this. Will it change anything? No, to be honest, but it will make their days a little harder snd while it might not bring direct change, being annoying WORKS. We already have democratic *and republican* senators who are now trying to do something about Musk now that they’ve gotten so many calls from us, and speaking on the fact they’ve gotten so many calls. We need to keep that energy. So fill out the survey, call your senators, and being fucking loud. At least have our dissent on the official record.

The owner and operator of the Stonewall Inn which is connected to national monument, has been loud about how heinous this is, and has been organizing protests in NYC. If you’re local to that area I’d recommend heading out that way https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/02/14/us/stonewall-monument-protest-nyc

"let's not be ableist!", "every mental illness should be respected" and "using slurs, especially ones that based on illnesses is wrong!" people after they call every abusive and evil person they met "narcissist", "psychopath" and "sociopath":😂👍

I want to make some pvz butcher vanity fanart SO BAD but for some reason I keep putting it off. I saw this post about not being able to put your blorbos in situations can be depression and like. yeah that's true.

Butcher Vanity is an amazing song btw

Probably gonna make some MAMA chicken ramen soon

I have underlying dysphoria that just seems to get worse every day. I look at men irl and online that are cool looking and I get so jealous it makes me angry. I'm still stuck in this shell I can hardly recognize, something that can be fixed or made better but I'm not allowed. I can't even cut my hair short for christ's sake.

Started Gravity Falls last night, gonna try to watch an episode a day; for some reason I have problems watching shows/playing videogames even if they're really good. When I was a little kid I didn't have that issue.

Writing a letter or a text is a good idea, but try to gauge their reactions to trans people before you do so. Try to be subtle, or see their reaction to trans news on the news. Remember: your safety comes first!

I know it’s really hard, but just try your best! Write a script if you need to.

Does anyone have tips on how to come out as trans ftm to ur parents I have n9 idea and am absolutely terrified

Lolcow culture is so fucking weird dude. Like these (mostly neurodivergent) people are being told to do horrible things to themselves and/or others because "it's funny". It's so strange. I stand by my opinion, even though I made a post on reddit and deleted it because I was scared of kiw1farms finding it and making me into a lolcow (it's something I worry a lot about, because I am autistic and sometimes end up posting stupid stuff), and half of the people in the autism meme sub I was on disagreed with me.

Kiw1farms scares the fuck out of me tbh. I used to be interested in lolcows and stuff, but I realize that it's really strange and probably stupid to watch someone degrade over time, it feels like I'm participating in something awful by even watching it. (I never was a lolcow forum user, but I used to watch videos on it.)

Sorry this is long and kind of off topic, but I agree with your post a lot.

at this point I'm on the side of the people who draw fat furry art and view my body as attractive over the people who openly try to condemn that art and who always ironically ends up being into lolcow stuff and other puritanical bullshit.

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
