Meet Maya, An Orphaned 24 Year Old Trans Woman In Yemen. She Has Been Held In Prison For Multiple Charges

Meet Maya, an orphaned 24 year old trans woman in Yemen. She has been held in prison for multiple charges for being trans/being a “man that dresses like a woman”, and for being gay.

Meet Maya, An Orphaned 24 Year Old Trans Woman In Yemen. She Has Been Held In Prison For Multiple Charges

She has been brutally beaten and sexually assaulted/raped by both prisoners and security guards. Her adoptive family abandoned her because of her gender identity and the charges against her. When she was released to go home her family beat her up. They broke her nose. They told her she deserved to die.

She ran away to another city to live with a friend temporarily. She’s attempted suicide multiple times.

I got in contact with her recently after retweeting her story. She said she managed to afford an apartment with just a few retweets of her GoFundMe. All she needs is a little more money to move out of Yemen. Her goal is £12,000 and she’s currently at £4,392.

“I hope that you look into my case and help me to get out of Yemen to a country that saves my right and dignity as a transgender woman.”

She has stated that she is not the only trans person in Yemen to undergo torture like that. Trans people have no rights or protections in Yemen.

Please, if you have the means, even donating a dollar or two can help immensely toward the effort to save her. If not, a simple reblog as well as boosting this on twitter and other social media sites would help greatly.

hey just a heads up/warning for those of you who don’t do well dealing with the heavy subjects or videos portraying violent acts, sandyhook promise has a new gun violence school shooting PSA that is probably going to be going viral and is slated to play on television and in AMC movie theaters and it’s pretty heavy, especially at the end. I know it’s a topic that needs to be discussed but it’s not a video that everyone will be able to watch, so just a warning for those of you that might not be able to handle it.

But then we have the angst when Merlin follows Arthur in deer form and gets shot by him

Today’s Hot Take:

Merlin should have been a shapeshifter and it kills me that he wasn’t (or at least shown to be). Like. The potential angst. Or humor. Or drama. Or fluff. It would have made his sneaking around so much cooler. Arthur could have come across him in animal form and befriended him. Or Merlin could have bullied him in animal form. In this essay I will -

Zuko has the Perry Platypus effect but it’s based on how he wears his hair. When he wears it in an updo, he’s the respected and honorable Fire Lord Zuko of the Fire Nation. Once he lets his hair down though, he is unrecognizable as the leader of a whole country and becomes Lee with The Good Tea.

It’s led to some fun moments in the palace where Zuko is relaxing by the turtleduck pond and some ambassador finds him and exclaims “What’s Lee from the Tea Shop Doing Here?!” then Zuko puts his hair up real quick and the ambassador goes “Firelord Zuko?!”

Zuko will be visiting Uncle Iroh at the shop and helping out with his hair in a topknot and customers are like “Firelord Zuko! What are you doing working in a tea shop?” then he lets his hair down and they go “Oh, it’s Lee! How’s it going?! Where have you been these past months?”

This happens every time without fail. This is also the reason why people are confused about which man Sokka from the Southern Water Tribe is actually dating. He has been spotted with both Lee With The Good Tea and Firelord Zuko, people are making bets. There might already be a theater production in place about this intense love triangle.

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?

most of all I want the actors to be young because I want them to really hit us with the fact that these are little kids. that these are elementary schoolers fighting for their lives every day, and that they lose way too often. in the movies we saw adults acting as teenagers and thought nothing of it, that's every movie these days. but I want the pjo show to show us an 12 year old trying desperately to kill medusa. I want them to show us a seven year old annabeth, a first grader, running away from home and ready to fight of a hellhound the size of a dump truck with a hammer. I want to see percy, fresh out of grade 9 and looking it, going straight from a day at the beach with his friend to a life-or-death war mission where not everyone makes it out. I want an adaptation where being a demigod is cool, yeah, but it's also awful because percy is five foot nothing with still chubby cheeks and he's being told it's not likely he'll live to graduate high school.
