planım yok,
kimseye isim aramıyorum
ve hayatla aramdaki besbelli karşılıklı bir aşk
karşılık beklememiştim üstelik

There is something weird about diaspora culture. Even if you run away from your home country, you get obsessed with the trashy part of your culture. You usually listen to songs that you would never tolerate back there. @haremofnoone
“Sometimes, biological reality isn't everything.”
Yes. We know. We told you this. But you didn’t listen. Not until they turned their sights on you. Hypocrite.

.@Docstockk has long described her anti-trans allies as "women who believe in biological reality." This week, most of her allies agreed with "non-biologcal" lesbians being removed from their kids' birth certs, & Kathleen is a "non-biological" parent on her kid's birth cert, so...

I want to wish everyone at London Trans Pride today a joyful, safe and empowering day.
It's never been more important to support trans people, who are being stigmatised and placed at the heart of a toxic culture war.
