Heres a not so friendly reminder, as an lgbt metis person, i dont give a single fuck what your blog is themed or if this is too painful for you to look at. Reblog this post. Reblog this post with the sources of the 751 children who were found.

Your compliance and silence as well as the compliance and silence of your ancestors is what allowed these schools to open and kill first nations children. The children of MY people.

Dont follow me if you cant reblog this post or the one with sources to your political blog or your most popular blog. Add trigger warnings if you must but if your political blog is only focused on the harms you personally face like being lgbt then you need to see some bigger pictures and stop being afraid of angering your racist mutural or actually saying some shit about racism. If you can reblog some antifa graphics or add blm to your bio to be a surface level ally, you can reblog some sources on the genocide first nations people faced and still face today.

They were CHILDREN.

trans-ness is beauty, it is love and acceptance, and broadens a person’s experience with the world. You may have been taught that being trans is something akin to a mistake…but the blame does not fall onto you, nor does the blame of people misgendering you fall onto you, nor does the blame of people disrespecting you fall onto you…it falls onto the world and it’s history.

Colonization and white supremacy are the reason why transphobia is so rampant in “western” society. We are taught that trans is something new, when the reality is that it is something inherent to human life. Sex is a spectrum just as much as gender is, for biological variation (intersex individuals) are common in all species of life. Binary ideas of gender come from a capitalist colonialism, where the separation of men and women benefits those in power and maximizes their profit. Being trans is not a white or cis passing thing, nor should we hold these people or ideas to be the End Goal of being trans. Trans is something indigenous, multi-cultural, religious, spiritual, and, most importantly, natural. And there is nothing wrong with being anything but cisgender/heteronormative.

Do not listen to people who want to further colonize your identity by spewing ideas that trans-ness must be tied to medical diagnosis, that it must be tied to suffering and gender dysphoria/dysmorphia, that you must be hyper-masculine or hyper-feminine to be seen as human, that trans-ness needs to be palatable to be respected and honored; do not listen to them, for all that matters is your own personal relationship with gender.
