Black trans women are the pillars and pioneers of the trans community and also the members of the community who face the worst discrimination and I think it’s really important that we remember and acknowledge that
They’ve done so much for the community as a whole and it’s so important that we support them back because they face a trifecta of transphobia, misogyny and antiblackness and they deserve so much better
“but gay and lesbian couples can’t have biological children!!!” friend i have some news for u and it’s called stop pretending trans people don’t exist u piece of shit
im so happy this got so many notes ok this is so important
Literally every cis person I’ve met has been transphobic one way or another so could y’all stop lying that it’s just a “small portion” of cis people who support our systematic oppression
tell me again
how trans
and gender-nonconforming people
aren’t in constant danger
aren’t treated as subhuman
aren’t degraded at every possible opportunity
tell me it’s not so bad
tell me things have changed
I fucking dare you
This. Upsets. Me. Greatly.
So what kind of women are the Salvation Army really concerned about? Definitely not all of them.
Yup definitely learned more about this while interning at a LGBTQ anti-violence program’s crisis hotline
Reminder that the Salvation Army is trash
On average, you have a 1 in 18,989 chance of being murdered
A trans person has a 1 in 12 chance of being murdered
The average life span of a cis person is about 75-90
The average life expectancy of a trans person is 23-30 years old
75% of people killed in anti LGBT hate crimes are poc
Think about this the next time you go crying over “cisphobia” and “reverse racism”
