Or maybe let people choose what they want to do with their own bodies? The idea that only "medical necessary" procedures should be allowed just opens the door for you to decide what is "medically necessary." My cis aunt feels a lot better about herself after getting a boob job. Who are you to decide the benefits to her mental health arent necessary while the benefits to mine (a trans woman) are? This is just more medicalization of transness and isn't a good look hun

Simple question: why does your aunt feel better after getting a boob job? Why has that made her feel better about herself?

Les statues meurent aussi (Ghislain Cloquet, Chris Marker & Alain Resnais, 1953).

Statues also Die is a good film for those interested in art and museums. Commissioned and partially paid by Présence Africaine it was released in 1953. The film shows how the treatement of African art (called Art Nègre at the time and considered simpler) and Colonialism erased African cultures and denied African and Black people the dignity of their past. It was forbidden as in the ‘50 French still had colonies in Africa, it was allowed on 1963. 

You can watch it here in (French with English subtitles) [many scenes of colonial France and an animals suffering dying]

Newly Released Police Body Cam Footage Shows Moments Before Rayshard Brooks Was Murdered by Police

For those who don’t know, Rayshard Brooks, 27 yr old father of, was shot and killed by an Atlanta police officer at a Wendy’s parking lot in Atlanta Friday night.

In the video, Mr. Brooks is seen calmly and politely speaking with Officers after falling asleep at a Wendys parking lot because he said he was “Too intoxicated to drive.” The officers could have done the right thing and stayed with him until someone picked him up, allowed him to walk to his home (which he offered to do) or even offered him a ride home, but instead they decided to escalate the situation and kill him.

lmao people are actually trying to reignite the "omg gay dudes dress too slutty at pride i didn't consent to this" discourse when most pride events aren't even fucking happening this year. have any of these people ever been to a fucking beach

[ratliker1917]

i think the fact people on twitter are furiously reviving this discourse in complete absence of any depraved, slutty gay pride parade actually happening at all makes me realize the entire thing is basically carried singlehandedly by people who never go to pride anyway. the complete cancellation of all pride parades due to coronavirus lockdown didn't change these people's relation to pride at all because they weren't going anyway, so they can still treat it like it's exactly like june 2019: complain about pride online a lot while not attending it, feed yourself outrage based on some pics you saw online from some indeterminate year or city.

Can people, like, stop acting like JK Rowling hates all trans/non-cis people equally? She specifically hates trans women. It’s in her manifesto. You know, the one where she says trans women are sexual predators who threaten the safety of *real* women and all afab trans/non-binary people are victims of the vicious trans agenda (i.e. of victims of trans women)?

Like, can she make it any more obvious? At this point she’s gonna just tweet “all trans women are rapists” and you people are gonna react with “how could you say that about trans people >:(”

Bayard Rustin was an openly gay Black man who was Martin Luther King’s right hand man. He planned the Million Man March and was subject to scrutiny for his sexuality and deemed a “deviant” and “pervert”.

Bayard Rustin can be found in nearly every picture of MLK yet he has undoubtedly been erased from history. We have to fix that.

[skeletonmug]

Well then, let’s bring that name back.

Bayard Rustin, openly gay, human rights activist, proud black man.

[metrospotting-deactivated202104]

(the guy on the left in case you wondered)

[gaypriori]

Yeah he was literally the guy who was the head of planning the March on Washington.

If you want to learn more about him, there’s a great documentary on him called Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin

You can watch the full documentary here (until March 31st, 2016)

I did a research project on him, Ella Baker, Claudette Colvin and Stokely Carmichael comparing their contributions to the Civil Rights Movement to the lack of recognition and misrepresentation they received in commonly used high school American History textbooks. All of these people played major roles in the Civil Rights Movement—almost on par with MLK—yet they go largely unnoticed or unfairly pushed aside not only during their time, but even now in classes on American History. These men and women deserve to be remembered.

I would also like to add Jame Baldwin to this list: writer, activist, and openly gay black man:

Why does being in your early 20s feel so much like only having 5 years of your life left in which you need to achieve as much as possible? why do I feel like I have an approaching deadline for success?
