Hadeel (26) is trying to raise funds for her family to evacuate Gaza. They have been displaced several times already, and are currently stuck in Rafah.

Can you help them by making a donation?

🍉🍉[CLICK HERE!]🍉🍉

With Hadeel is her three year old daughter, Almas, who has gone into shock since witnessing her father's death, and frequently wets herself from trauma; Najwa, her five y/o niece, who is now under Hadeel's care after becoming an orphan, following the deaths of both her mother and father; young Samira, who need special medical care for her eyes; Samira's father, Ibrahim, who needs an operation for a herniated disc and has trouble moving; Soraya, Hadeel's mother, who had to have her foot amputated as a result of their displacement and needs further operations to be able to walk.

Between all of them, her family numbers thirteen in total. She knows their current GFM goal is not enough to cover her expenses -> it will be closer to 100,000 euros for the entire family to evacuate, but right now, they desperately need food. They need medicine. They need diapers and basic necessities for the children. They need to raise the funds to get the children to safety.

They need your help.

Please donate and share ⬇⬇⬇

"who do I decide to give it to? everyone needs help! I can't help them all!"

You're not the only person they're asking!!!!!

If you choose one person to help that day, a bunch of other ppl choose others

stopping to overthink your inflated importance as an individual versus one in many is what's giving you paralysis

the more you burden yourself as an incapable hero the less you all act as a group-- which is the exact answer you're looking for

fkn close your eyes, scroll on OOB and donate to whoever you click on first

you're not god, it's not your job to save everyone

It seems that intersex people are consistently caught in a grey area; intersex people are expected, paradoxically, to transition into being cis via surgeries and/or HRT, an expectation which comes from an imagined body that would have been were not for intersexuality, a cis [perisex] body which is assumed to be natural and inherent. It is as though many intersex people are in a way expected to be both cis and trans, an experience that presents differently both from perisex cis people and from perisex trans people, and yet is often positioned as exclusively one or the other.

The concept of cis-as-perisex and cis-trans contextualizes for me the fixation on intersex people's genders when discussing intersex medical abuse and IGM, and why so many people refer to it as "gender affirming care". The argument goes, of course a cis man would want his breasts removed, don't they give him gender dysphoria? Isn't removing them gender-affirming care for cis people?

What I feel that people don't understand when they make this argument is that this phrasing seperates intersex surgeries from any societal context of intersexism to instead focus on an imagined cis [perisex] way of being that necessarily excludes euphoric intersexuality, and centers gender identity and individual dysphoria as the reason why an intersex person would have surgery rather than looking at the bigger picture of how we come to arrive at these surgeries and how they interact with intersexism.

Of course an intersex person should be allowed access to surgeries if they so desire, and yet it would be an injustice to not look at everything around us which may influence these decisions, including how for many intersex people they do not desire these surgeries at all, or are made to feel as though they should desire them even if they wouldn't have otherwise; and even for intersex people which do fully desire and enthusiastically consent to surgery, we must consider whether others, including their surgical team, have ulterior motives for fulfilling that desire. We do not have surgery in a vacuum. The same people who aim to deny trans people transition also force surgery on intersex people, and this is not hypocrisy; this is a core function of how the sex binary is upheld.

I will never ever be okay with people leaving out how jkr treats transman. She wrote an essay, she agreed with and followed a terf who wrote a book about how trans men are girls who are mutilating their bodies but was lying and acted stole photos from trans men. And I'll never ever be okay with people who don't realize her 2020 tweet was attacking language used for trans masc who still menstruate.

I'll never be okay with how trans men are left out of the conversation of reproductive rights. I know trans men who have given birth. I've heard stories of trans men who face the same road blocks to hysterectomies as cis women.

By dismissing or ignoring the issues trans men face you are actually making the world less safe for us.
