my pronouns are she/her. please stop using they/them for me. i literally have never used they/them pronouns but i get they/themed by a lot of you. being trans literally doesnt mean im not a woman. i understand that ppl use they to be inclusive but it reads as erasing my womanhood
On Friday morning another woman was murdered in Australia by a man known to her. She is a First Nations Woman. That’s 17 women murder in Aust in 14 weeks. Where’s the outcry?the media? If only 5% of the energy given to Will Smith was directed at women being killed by DV in Aust.
The @thevalsmob webinar today on #coercivecontrol is so significant because it’s addressing a huge access to justice barrier by platforming Aboriginal women and people. It’s so hard working on the front line in govt and NINGO spaces and not hearing these critical perspectives

I came to Australia asking for safety when I was just 15 years old.
Now I am 24 and still in detention.
If I'm not a refugee, why would I endure such a difficult time as a child if I have the option to go back to where I came from? Even then, I'm not safe in detention either.
Do remember health care workers in Aus are all under gag orders - they are not permitted to speak. If your friend wants to speak-out of the failure - take their story and make it anonymous and share it. Tag it #AusHCW let them have their voice heard!! We have a disaster
