ANALYSIS: As a community, we talk a good talk about keeping each other safe, so why aren’t we doing it now?

What baseline proper public health guidance for covid and other airborne illnesses should look like: "Some people are at higher risk, and you can spread this illness to them unknowingly. Public health is a collective responsibility. Wear a tight-fitting mask in public spaces to reduce rates of transmission, and stay home when sick to keep others safe and healthy."

What public health guidance for covid and other airborne illness actually looks like: "Don't be scared! Don't do anything! Go on vacation and spend lots of money! Cough on your grandma! Who are we supposed to be, health authorities or something? Who are we to dictate public hygiene? Live your life! You only get one! Maybe get a vaccine, but also it's a personal choice!"

no one ever talks about how isolating being transmasc is. you're not "one of the girls and the gays" because you're not a girl and not seen as a guy enough to be gay. you kill the mood when you bring up how men Can get pregnant in real life when people make mpreg jokes. your old friends talk about how "nasty" men are and how they want to "kill all men". your queer acquaintance tells you that fujoshis are just perverts trying to fetishise gay men. cishetallo guys talk over you. cisgay guys talk over you. you go home and your parents toss out your masculine attires for you "daring to be a man".

like I don't even identify as transmasc anymore (is complicated) but back when i did, i would be so scared to come out as a trans man instead of nb because it would get me pushed out of friend groups and killed by my parents (which all eventually happened when the dam burst)

I remember years ago, long enough ago that I was still using either Tiktok or Instagram regularly, because that's where I saw this, long enough ago that unfortunately I do not remember the username, I saw an older trans woman responding to a comment asking "how come we see trans women from your generation, but never trans men?" And her response was simple. "Unfortunately, it's because most of them are dead." Between lack of safe and legal abortions (which, hey, look what's an issue again), the HIV/AIDs crisis (which still is lacking in approved treatments for trans men, and they're still likely to be denied PrEP/PEP even when they should be eligible as sexually active queer men), and how many of them chose to take their own lives after being forced into marriages and other women's roles, a lot of the trans men that should be elderly right now did not make it.

And now, when I find myself making the mistake of going on Instagram, I get to see trans men themselves talking about how historically, trans men didn't do anything for the community, and so we need to step up now. Which, first of all, that isn't true, but second of all, if trans men's contributions are lesser, that makes a lot of sense if we listen to that trans woman talking about the trans men she was in community with back in the day. It's very hard to advance the trans cause if you're not alive.

Anyway. It's a really chilling answer. "Where are all the elderly trans men?" "They're dead." And I just wish more people saw that tiktok and listened to it and really took it to heart, now that we're in the age of "well obviously trans men have it so much easier."

You kill a racist bully that's been long term harassing you and threatening to kill you at school, you get a prison sentence that could span life (Karmelo Anthony).

You put a water bottle back, get hunted down by the store owner and his family who shoot you because they claim to think you were stealing (Cyrus Carmack Belton), and said murderers walk away not guilty. 😐

Days like this I hate being Black. You just supposed to lay down and die. No one wants you to snap, but no wants to treat you better. Sigh. Anyway, I'm sick to my stomach rn. Black boys deserve better. Black children deserve better.
