#TransDayOfVisibility is a great opportunity to remind everyone that
- trans women are women
- trans men and nonbinary ppl exist
- trans people are not predators or trying to trick you
- using the right pronouns and chosen names is not optional
- all trans ppl deserve respect
A person’s race, gender, SES, and especially their sexual orientation should never affect a person’s health care. We are all HUMANS at the day, despite our differences. #CUSOC321 https://t.co/vQuKBT2ILQ
Studies found that 56% of LGB patients & 70% of trans patients have experienced discrimination by a health care provider, including flat out denials of care. This discrimination can lead to long-term health problems or even death. Tell HHS to #PutPatientsFirst.
How is this okay?! This really shows that they’re out protecting themselves and not the people. They are taking advantage of us. #cusoc321 https://t.co/fyFwgDrw4o
We have learned, lived, and breathed inequality for years now but knowing about it is not enough. How do we change and eliminate inequality and racism? Is it even possible, or is it so deeply ingrained in some of our minds that this is how it will always be? #CUSOC321
Yes. When I worked as a waitress/ in the food industry, I was constantly harassed and felt like there was nothing I could do because I relied on their tips/ business. I’m glad this is being brought into discussion. https://t.co/iAgyYxb5OF
Acceptance, bravery, and REPRESENTATION — this film is so important for the LGBTQ community. Coming out is never easy, but it’s a step in the right direction of understanding that #LoveIsLove https://t.co/Ne1ZKxocxj
The #MeToo movement is not just about women. It’s about ALL victims who have been sexually abused, violated, and harassed. This includes trans people. #TransRightsAreHumanRights https://t.co/Z74s39Lh0L
“Trans people are sexually victimized at a sadly high rate. All victims of sexual harms deserve to be respected and represented by those treated as the spokespeople of the #MeToo movement.” https://t.co/cbbxvE0QNO
How does one go up on the socioeconomic ladder when they aren’t provided the resources they need? The system plays against the majority of its people, not for them.
Truthfully, the topic of homelessness is an infuriating because most people assume the simple solution is getting a job when in reality, it’s never that easy. Even a person who has a degree can’t find a job that easily. #ReformLaws#CUSOC321
@GerhettMoser10 I think you’d technically be considered queer. Heterosexual implies you are interested in the opposite sex of which you identify with. If you are gender fluid, you express both female and male gender attributes. It would be under the broad umbrella term. #CUSOC321
It always baffles me to know that situations like this still occur. What makes a person more entitled than another individual? #CUSOC321 https://t.co/80BxwtY0mH
@ImesSmith Exactly. Our brains don’t seem to be important because we’re told we think too much with our emotions and the only thing society seems to car about is our looks. It’s frustrating.
To be quite honest, it feels almost impossible to be able to embrace/identify yourself when what society says will always be more important than what you think about yourself. #CUSOC321
