The whole 'Lucy Letby doesn't look evil' (subtext: because she's white and blonde) is a really jarring and ridiculous way of reporting this horrific story
#TransPower on @Genderintell U18s camping trip. Thank you young people. Thank you Isa. I hope all the trans people that need this in their life see it. 50 people shouting TRANS POWER! 💪🏼🏳️⚧️✊🏼
utterly heartbroken about the death of 16 year old brianna ghey. protect trans kids every day and fight relentlessly against anti-trans sentiment & legislations being pushed by our heinous government . rest in peace brianna ghey 🖤
Schools & youth orgs in Culcheth & surrounding areas need to be responding to the conversations, grief & emotions around Brianna's murder. Do not shy away from this. Offer support, facilitate space & discussion, challenge hate. If it means doing away with timetables do that.
Executive dysfunction isn’t laziness.
Sensory overload isn’t being dramatic.
Being unable to focus isn’t poor motivation.
Avoiding eye-contact isn’t a lack of care.
Melting down isn’t throwing a tantrum.
Treating people equally isn’t rude.
Burnout isn’t giving up.
Suicidal people deserve a space to talk about their suicidal feelings without risking hospitalization/institutionalization or being accused of being manipulative or attention seeking
If any of my trans/queer pals will (or know anyone that will) be isolated, lonely, or stuck with unsupportive family over the festive period- this lovely human is offering letterbox hampers 💜🏳️⚧️ feel free to share!
“An NHS trust has said it will “investigate” the case of a trans teen in Bradford who tragically took his life, after his mother claimed it didn’t do enough to help her son.” Rest in Power Finn 🏳️⚧️🌟 https://t.co/Z1ig7EQNde
Sometimes just existing in this world as an LGBT+ person is exhausting & terrifying.
It shouldn’t be like this. We’re doing our best to change things.
But there’s only so much we can do without help from those in power, and that makes things feel so hopeless at times like this.
Part 3
Every time you make a joke, interact with harmful social media posts or laugh at our expense, you tell the people around you that it's ok.
Trans people deserve SO much better. Rest in power to all of these beautiful humans who were taken too soon 💜
Part 2
390 deaths between October 2021 and September 2022
295+ through violence, 52+ through suicide
37 of the records didn't even have a name to them.
Transphobia isn't just acts of violence. It's a learnt behaviour that is encouraged to grow by it's surroundings.
