#tw murder

I usually don’t post about big events but I haven’t seen anyone post this yet. This is the piece of shit ICE agent that shot and killed a woman trying to get away from him. Nothing has been publicly revealed about the woman other than she’s described as middle aged and white. No name or photos given.

Don’t let them think that just because they put on a mask they’re safe from public scrutiny

And of course, the police are claiming "no foul play" in Murry's death.

I hope every disabled person, living or dead, knows they are loved. I love you. I understand you. The world is changing, progress is being made, and one day, we will no longer have to live in fear. One day, we will not need a disability day of mourning.

My father died before he could get his crows feet, I die without mine, my son will die without his.

There are no words I could have uttered to convince him not to climb into my coffin. I would know; there were no words my father could have uttered that would have convinced me not to climb into his.

I regret not trying anyways. My son will die young and it is my fault.

or;

Any form of hormone replacement therapy or sex-change surgery is illegal unless the participant is intersex. Intersex genital mutilation is legal and even encouraged.

A (thankfully-unenforced law) is that any homosexual relations, even if consensual, are punished by death.

Crossdressing is illegal and extremely frowned down upon.

Then I see people on social medias calling transgender men “theyfabs” and “transandrobros” for daring to speak up.

Then I see entirely new binaries being made to justify oppression olympics (looking at you, TMA/TME)

Then I see some of the most rancid and pointless discourse, coming from people who live in nations where being out as transgender, as gay, as intersex or as any marginalised identity is encouraged.

From people who don’t have to suppress themselves to stay alive.

From people who don’t have to face some of the worst queerphobia each day and keep a smile throughout.

From people who have allies for family, for people who have so much support.
