Reblog to make a white gay big mad
Reblog to make black queer people feel visible and supported (and also to make a white gay big mad)
Reblogging this as a white gay to make the racist white gays mad
reblog because the city of philadelphia created this flag in recognition of the poor way it was treating its lgbtq poc in our relatively small gayborhood, and we thought it was (just) gonna help poc feel more included but it helped spark a national conversation and outed a shitton of racists in a way that helped expose, address, and improve the racism in our community
look if you’re cis dont reply to jk rowling and then screenshot your tweet and post it. donate to trans charities, specifically british trans charities, because jk lives here and has been informed by british politics. thats why shes a terf.
i know everyone likes to pretend trans rights issues are universally similar, but trans rights issues in the uk are wildly different. fight on the context she is
mermaidsuk, which helps trans youth get help
albert kennedy trust, helps homeless lgbt people (the uk currently has one dedicated homeless shelter for lgbt people, and its in london)
all about trans, which is trying ensure trans people are better represented in the media
trans rights are human rights, and trans people in the uk deserve our voices heard as much as trans americans. jk rowling is noy an anomaly, and represents the average british feminist. fighting against terfs requires systematic change, something british trans people not only cant do alone, but something we have to try and do as terfs actively lobby the government to take away our human rights (with there currently being talk of a bill which would cause under 18s to lose the ability to begin transitioning in any form, and a member of the house of lords currently waxing romantically about having trans rights removed in multiple areas)
you have to understand that talking the jk doesn’t work. she doesnt care. use your time productively and spread these charities around. dont even reblog this post if you dont want to, make your own. just make it known that trans people in the uk are used to people acting like this, and soon we may not be able to do anything about them at all
This is olutwatoyin ‘toyin’ salau she was a 19 year old activist and she also would show up to any protest that she could and give speeches, she was missing since June 6th and was found dead recently, prior before her death toyin was tweeting about how she was sexually assaulted by a black man and about how she felt unsafe and nobody even took the time to help her or check up on her not even her parents. Why someone in the black community would even do this to their own kind at a time like this?? Is so utterly beyond me and I am so disgusted. And I am also so hurt that with the black lives matter movement going on we are supposed to care for each other, get justice for each other, and most importantly PROTECT each other and for some reason it doesn’t apply to black women. Black women get tortured and murdered way more than black men but their stories are never talked about! They are never shared! And it is unfair. And it needs to change, it WILL change. Protect black women because we have gone through so much suffering through out history and every day life, protect us because we are PEOPLE who deserve to feel safe and feel like we MATTER because we do in fact MATTER. I love you toyin, you’re an angel now<3

Ive been reading through tags and this post was made by a lesbian. Don’t support them JUST because you want to fuck them or find it hot, your primary reasoning should be because everybody has the right to wear what they want.
These celebrities might all be beautiful and slender and young because they’re well,, celebrities. But not every man who chooses to wear a dress will be. They still deserve support.
@irresponsible-black-unicorn you should be up here
I might not do it often but I feel DAMN good in a dress. I get to show off my arms and give room for my legs?
Um…yes please
Hell yeah, sun dresses are the best.
These are the best additions anyone has added to my post!!!! Thank you!! Y'all are both awesome.
With Rowling revealing herself as a full on TERF yesterday, I feel the need to say something about this whole thing... I mean firstly, fuck JKR, trans people are so valid. But lately I’ve noticed a growing subset of people who are either priding themselves on never having read Harry Potter, or shaming people who used to consider themselves huge fans of it, and I need to explain why that’s bad.
If you’re out here saying shit like “everyone who liked Harry Potter is probs a cop now”, or “Harry Potter was always trash anyway” that’s.... not it. It was popular for a reason. Millions of people, trans, queer, POC, Black, Jewish, etc. knew and loved it for years. If you’re only now saying it’s trash because it’s confirmed that the author is a bigot, that’s kinda fucked.
Firstly, you should be looking critically at all media you consume regardless of if you’re aware of the author’s viewpoints, secondly, you’re implying that everything made by bigoted, racist, homophobic people is automatically bad writing. Unfortunately, that’s not true.
You cannot only read stuff from “unproblematic” authors. It’s literally impossible. For one, authors aren’t always stupid enough to share their bigoted opinions on twitter for the world to see. And if you’ve read anything by a white person from the 19th (hell, 20th) century, they’re almost definitely a huge fucking racist at the very least. You can, and should, make an effort to consume media made by people of a variety of sexual orientations, gender identities, racial identities, etc. But this doesn’t ensure that all of those people will be perfect unproblematic angels either.
The fact is, bad people make good things. Bad people will make stuff you like. You cannot tie your sense of worth or your personal morals to whether or not you watch or read the “right” stuff made by the “right” people. And if you struggle with this, you’re not alone.
If you’ve ever heard of cognitive dissonance, it basically means that there’s a distressing situation that is creating inconsistency/conflict, so your brain makes an effort to try and restore balance. For example, you know that Harry Potter is a good book series and that JK Rowling is a bad person. But those opposing thoughts occurring simultaneously make your brain feel Bad so in order to get rid of that distress, you either start thinking “well Harry Potter wasn’t good actually” or “well JK can’t really be a bad person”. You’ll see this kind of thing happen all the time with fans of musicians who turn out to be shitheads. And it’s ultimately very harmful.
Make an effort to reconcile the conflicting thoughts in your head. And try not to hold yourself up as the pinnacle of unproblematicness, like in general. We all have stuff we need to work towards, and no one is completely free of biases and prejudice.
And if you’re a Harry Potter fan feeling guilty or uncomfortable because of JKR, here’s my advice to you:
It is definitely important to look closely at problematic aspects of Harry Potter that we, as children, may have overlooked. Initially I hadn’t considered that Cho Chang’s name was racist. I never thought about how the goblins running the bank could be seen as antisemitic. You’ve seen the posts/threads; there’s a laundry list of stuff wrong with these books that deserves to be pointed out. But not recognizing this stuff when you were literally in elementary school doesn’t make you a bad person.
The beauty of reading things while being socially aware means that we can look at something critically and still enjoy its content. No, this does not mean the author is totally dead and no you can’t keep saying “Hatsune Miku wrote Harry Potter”. You cannot ignore where the content came from and pretend that Rowling’s bigoted ideologies didn’t seep into her writing. Acknowledge that JK wrote Harry Potter, that you enjoy(ed) Harry Potter, and that JK is also a huge transphobe amongst other things. All of these things can be true simultaneously.
As for what you can do moving forward, 1. if you must, buy HP merch from indie creators and buy used copies/pirate the books, and 2. make an effort to read different fantasy books written by trans/nb authors. You cannot erase the fact that your childhood was shaped by these books, but you can ensure that your future is shaped by something different, and better.
To everyone else, don’t let your cognitive dissonance give you a sense of moral superiority. And lastly, fuck JKR and fuck transphobes :)
I love this show and I love that it’s back on Netflix
Is there anything that makes me happier than the Harry Potter cast basically saying "fuck you JKR" and speaking up against transphobia? The answer is no

edit: a year later and official confirmation is that this scene in fact DID win best dramatic scene in a popular drama at the linetv 2020 awards.

The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of separation. Things you think are separate and different are actually one and the same. We are all one people, but we live as if divided.
