Irony is queer ppl traditionally play a huge role in transmission of mly culture - they are our dancers, performers, dance instructors, master practioners, tailors, seamstresses, mak andam etc but of course bigots don't consider that at all and only seek to ridicule and ostracize
Indonesian queer folk and especially trans women are going through a horrific, state-sanctioned genocide in the form of brutal street violence and the criminalization of queer identities as I type this. PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!! The crimes happening there are unspeakable.
People should talk about this more. Trans women in Indonesia are being hunted by these group of people who call themselves "boti hunters" (boti means bottom, but it's usually used as a slur against LGBT people in Indonesia)
throwback to when i had a nightmare about a corpse falling on me that felt like it lasted a month so for a week i was extremely paranoid about a corpse in the kitchen
