@rianphin@cinetamarisfan I get that being c*s gives you a completely different vantage point to look at the state of “rights” and “awareness” but I was (and still am) T ten years ago and telling you how it was #bootsonthegroundjournalism
@rianphin@cinetamarisfan Yes, everyone can have an opinion on something and also only a select number of people can care positively about a subject at the same time
@rianphin@cinetamarisfan Having to cherry-picking specific intersecting vectors among awareness, ubiquity, and respect to make your point only waters down the actual discussion at hand: that it was very socially acceptable to be aware of transness and be transphobic simultaneously
@rianphin@cinetamarisfan I can’t speak for where you were ten years ago, but I think you seriously overestimate the spread of acceptance outside of an online context. Growing up I can say the only people who remotely cared about queer theory/wokeness were hyper-online and heavily divorced from the-
An Urgent Humanitarian Appeal from the Heart of Gaza
I am writing to you today while my family and I are living through a real catastrophe. No words can truly describe the suffering and hardship we are enduring.
We are trapped, living in unbearable poverty. Every morning, we wake up not knowing how we will provide our next meal. We no longer have a safe home, a job, or any source of income. Everything we once had is gone.
My family goes to sleep hungry. We search for a loaf of bread, a bottle of clean drinking water, or even a single dose of medicine to ease the pain of a sick family member, but often we cannot find what we need.
This is not a request for pity. This is a desperate appeal for survival.
I am responsible for supporting a large family, and all I want is to see my loved ones eat, drink, and sleep safely, just like people everywhere else in the world.
How Can You Help Us?
I have thought long and hard about how we can overcome this situation, and I believe that together, we can make a real difference.
If 200 people each donated just $10, we could raise $2,000.
For my family, this amount would mean:
- Food to help feed my family for the coming months.
- Clean and safe drinking water for everyone.
- Essential medicine and medical treatment.
- Clothes and blankets to protect us from the cold.
- A chance to survive with dignity and preserve our basic human needs.
$10 might be the price of a cup of coffee to you, but to my family, it could mean the difference between hunger and having a meal, between suffering and finding relief, and between despair and hope.
Please, I beg you, do not leave my family alone during these difficult times.
Every donation, no matter how small, makes a difference. Even $5 could help us get through another difficult day.
And if you are unable to donate, please share my message with your friends, family, and followers. Your share could reach someone who is able to help us.
I pray that Allah rewards every person who stands with us, blesses you and your loved ones, and never lets you experience the suffering we are going through.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
From a family that is simply fighting to survive.
With gratitude and hope,
Your brother,
Abdullah Omar and His Family from Gaza 🇵🇸

@slutroan@stefisgirlnow@nuancefem homo/queerphobia etc is inherently misogynistic because queer dynamics are seen as an affront to the c*sheteronormative power structure mean to oppress women and, by extension, anyone who doesn’t serve patriarchy
