Hey all in the drag scene,
If you could retweet this it would mean a lot.
For those who don’t know “💚🤍💜” is a way that terfs identify each other. After the issues with Tracy I have interacted with people who had no idea she was a terf even tho this was in her name. 1)
What actually happened is the Israeli army set a dog on a Palestinian man with Down’s Syndrome, which savaged him.
They then left him to die of his injuries, and his decomposed body was later discovered by his relatives.
This headline is a disgusting travesty.
In light of reports concerning Glasgow’s Pride corporate sponsors we & @rainbowgreens are not marching in a ‘Green Bloc’ this Saturday but are calling for supporters there to show solidarity with Palestine & march as part of the ‘No Pride in Genocide Bloc’.
Full statement:
@SXSZworld im lucky enough to live in a seat where the tories have never won and get like 10% of the vote so im voting TUSC (no one standing for the greens in my constituency)
quite frankly i feel sick seeing that yet more disgusting racism, ableism and bigotry from within the scottish drag scene. i do not give a single fuck how old you are, how much you have apparently changed since (which is bullshit anyway) or anything else. there is no excuse.
i was very lucky that everything was pretty minor and i didnt have any long term damage that i know of know. let disabled people make accommodations for themselves without facing ridicule. drag is drag, it doesn't have any physical prerequisites
thinking about the fact that i had 10+ sprains in 2019 (the year i did by far most drag stuff, i was a minor at this time too) because of the constant rhetoric around having to perform in heels and do stunts that existed then (and still does now imo) ...
i felt like in order to be respected in the scene i had to risk and sustain injuries (i am very dyspraxic and hypermobile), or else face ridicule. looking back this is such a toxic way for me to have been feeling, especially as a 17 year old at the time. this is not a new issue.
It’s not just about the groupchats. Those are the only things people are addressing because it’s the only tangible proof that’s come out. The culture of intimidation and bullying behind closed doors needs to be addressed as well.
