New Year's Resolution To The Whole World:

New year's resolution to the whole world:

• grow a heart, work on your compassion!

• end the genocide

• liberate the oppressed

• hold the terrorists who are unaliving children daily in Gaza to accountability

• end COLONIALISM

• END THE DOUBLE-STANDARDS

FREE PALESTINE. FREE CONGO. FREE SUDAN

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.

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.
