A Father Places In The Hand Of His Martyred Child A Piece Of Candy That He Had Brought Him Before The

A father places in the hand of his martyred child a piece of candy that he had brought him before the Israeli army killed him with the continuous bombing of Gaza.

unfortunately i have to see discourse on my dash every day that makes me think some of y'all are really only posturing about the whole being a gender weirdo freak thing

"can you treat a trans woman as an equal if she has visible facial hair, or a trans man who has visible breasts?" is a good starting point but let me ask you some more questions.

could you have a normal conversation with a 50 year old transsexual who still considers himself a mother to his son? can you be in community with retransitioners and genderqueer people with non-normative transition trajectories? can you have a nice chat with someone who was afab and calls themself transfemme, or with someone who was amab and calls themself transmasc?

and even more! do you welcome the guy in a dress who calls himself a transvestite and has been doing drag every saturday for the past 10 years to your pride parade? are you willing to hear out the young woman who had bottom surgery at 18 and now kinda wishes she didn't? do you actually respect the people who decide not to go on hrt or to get surgery due to their family's medical history?

they may be hypothetical to you, but those are the people i have met and hang out with every day.

and you might answer yes to all of these, obviously, but could you actually say that when actually meeting them? because i've seen for myself that, no, the hypothetical and reality don't always align.

These are the poets and writers who have been killed in Gaza.

One of my dreams is for my books and my writings to travel the world, for my pen to have wings so that no unstamped passport or visa rejecti

[Text ID: “It shall pass, I keep hoping. It shall pass, I keep saying. Sometimes I mean it. Sometimes I don’t. And as Gaza keeps gasping for life, we struggle for it to pass, we have no choice but to fight back and to tell her stories. For Palestine.”]

My sister is among those affected. Before the 7th of October, she was denied treatment by the Israeli military. Her pregnancy is considered high-risk. The doctors in Gaza warned her that during delivery, she, the child, or both might die. When she sought medical treatment outside Gaza, the Israeli military denied her permission to leave, not once but twice, in July and then in August — not in October. Now, she is displaced in Rafah with her two children and husband. She is ill. Her home in Gaza City is completely destroyed. My question is, what could possibly lead these people to deny a pregnant woman treatment or food? What kind of morals or hearts can allow this...?
