hi I haven't been to tumblr for ages and now, after the internet blackout in my country, Iran, and the start of pride month, I'm here to talk abt sth important, it's mostly copy pasted but "intentions are everything" after all.
Mahshid, a 26-yo transgender woman in Sanandaj, Kurdistan province, was killed because of who she was, because of being trans. The perpetrator of her murder is a salafi islamic group.
This attack was done to spread fear among the LGBTQ+ community.
Transgender women and girls in Iran face constant threats, not just from society but from laws and systemic violence. This news breaks at the start of Pride Month — a reminder that protection for trans people in Iran is more urgent than ever. No one should live in fear just for being themselves.
Please be the voice of Iranian LGBTQ+ community, specially the trans community, on this year's Pride Month. They need your support more than anytime.
