Someone put red paint on the "Serve and Protect" sculpture at the Salt Lake City police building and it is such a powerful statement.

cis people: *get surgery to enlarge their ass*
cis people: *get liposuction to make them skinnier*
trans people: hey could i get top surgery so i can be comfortable with my body?
cis people: BUT WHY?! YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE, YOU DON’T NEED TO MUTILATE YOURSELF TO BE HAPPY! this is just a waste of money! You could regret this later on and feel like a stranger in your own body!

Here’s something else I made, Reblog if you are anti maps
Michaelá is a 24 y/o Black woman who was physically assaulted at a nail salon in Michigan and was afterwards threatened online by the same workers who shared her personal information and created a false story for others to attack her. Police did nothing and even denied her to press charges against her attackers. This is her GoFundMe.
More information can be found on her original IG post. She has also made other posts updating her situation as time passes. Below are pictures of the place of the attack and some of the online threats she's been getting.

And before you get mad, I do have a chronic illness, some mental diagnoses I’m being treated for, and I’m also LGBT+.
I need you to imagine I’m sitting down with you and not attacking our own community when I say this. For our own mental health, we gotta stop getting mad at every little slip up, or mistake that someone who doesn’t understand our struggles make.
We can’t assume everyone is going to understand us, or know what we need for accommodations right off the bat.
Now I’m not saying you can’t get frustrated or vent to friends about how annoying it is. But we can’t be making a community based off immidiate hatred for people asking questions and genuinely trying to understand our struggles.
If they genuinely are making fun of us for no reason, or don’t want to change their ways to understand,
We have a right to be pissed off and lash out.
But if someone is genuinely and respectfully taking the time to listen to us, and then they ask a silly or offensive question on accident,
We need to let them know in a just as respectful way. We don’t want them to be scared of us right off the bat. If we make that our brand, then they’ll never want to hear us out. They’re people just like us, and they do have a chance to understand and change. We just need to give them that chance.
Give them time to apologize and change into a less threatening person to minorities. Because if we want a community that understands us, we need to help them understand us. We can’t expect every person in the world to do research into every disability, mental illness, or identity. Sometimes we need to be their source.
Only if they’re being respectful about it though - jot that down. If they’re taking away our accommodations for their own needs, or mocking us, then that’s when we need to draw the line.
