Black people and other PoC in the UK and Ireland are in serious danger right now. Because of the crime of 1 man.

When the perpetrator is white it doesn't matter, "not all white people" "just a bad apple". But when it's a PoC who has done something wrong, riots and violence spring out against all of them.

Because of white supremacy, PoC don't get to have bad apples. One person does something wrong, and white people turn on the rest of them.

Shit like this reminds me of when my European friend told me that racism was an American thing that Europeans were past. And I didn't believe them then, and I certainly don't now. You can't look at everything happening to tourists and even residents who happen to be Black or Brown and say that Europe doesn't have racism. No continent is racism free, sadly.

To any of my Black and Brown friends living in the UK/Ireland right now, my heart goes out to you. Stay with your community. Find your people. I'm so sorry this is happening to you, it isn't fair. You and your community don't deserve this in the slightest.

[boyslit]

[doberbutts]

I started HRT at approximately 30 and top surgery at 32 just 4.5 months prior to this photo. It's never too late.

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.

I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.

The largest mass shooting in American history was a hate crime against gay people. Don’t ever forget that.

[exmellivorinae]

June 12, 2016. Putting a date on this for when it gets reblogged months from now by people who think the post is about something from 30, 40 years ago.

[butch-reidentified]

I am a survivor of the Pulse nightclub shooting, having grown up in Orlando and just turned 20 a month prior. If you didn’t know, there were several families who refused to claim the bodies of their relatives due to their sexuality. One family even had their relative’s name removed from the memorial. Murdered by the same hate with which their families reject them in both life and death.

Many, many people celebrated Pulse. We were told we deserved it. That it was God’s punishment for our sin of loving the same sex. We are sent messages like these I received in 2018:

We in the community often call the victim count 49+ to include the survivors who couldn’t live with the pain.

The event was never officially declared a hate crime or targeted homophobic attack and is rarely listed as one in databases.

At our vigils for those slaughtered, Extremist Christian groups showed up to protest, holding signs like this:

ID: Me kissing a woman I was casually seeing in front of an angry looking man with a “Sodomy is Sin” sign.

Please understand how much more than just a mass shooting this was. We are still to this day harassed and told we deserved it by some.

This year was the sixth anniversary. The first couple years I received dozens of messages checking in on me on 6/12. Year 5 got enough news coverage for people to think to reach out to me. This year it was my therapist, the woman I kissed in that photo, and a couple of other gun violence survivor friends. People are forgetting already.

[butch-reidentified]

With the 7 year anniversary <2 weeks away, I figured I’d reblog this

I’m still trying to figure out how best to articulate this, but it bothers me how the narrative around this whole situation has landed on “here’s the proof that avid was never uncomfortable with scott’s behaviour” rather than “here’s the proof that scott repeatedly attempted to ensure avid wasn’t uncomfortable, and couldn’t have reasonably known otherwise.” it bothers me how casually diagnostic terms like “narcissist” or “psychotic” are being thrown around by fans and ccs alike. it bothers me how avid’s reliance on genAI for therapy is being turned into a punchline or meme instead of a sign of someone clearly in crisis. it bothers me how comfortable people are with misgendering avid. it bothers me how easily people will say horribly callous things about those that the community has decided it’s acceptable to hate.

[twoastricts]

Especially the misgendering thing.

I do not condone Avid's actions - yet I do not misgender them or think that misgendering them is ok either. When respect to someone's gender identity is conditional on whether you like them, what stops the reason you don't like them from being that they aren't cis? Simply ask yourself, would you call JKR a he/him? No, not even the most staunch JKR/HP haters would misgender her, so why are people misgendering Avid? Avid is a he/they enby. Calling them a man shows that you aren't actually an ally.

I know this post is about more than just the misgendering, but the misgendering is what I see happening the most.

Also, throwing around terms with actual diagnoses when he hasn't been diagnosed with either, not good. Borderline prejudiced against people with mental issues/disorders. Not all people with them do what Avid did and not all people who do what Avid did have them, so stop making assumptions about what Avid does/doesn't have, you aren't their psychiatrist.

If I could make a folder of all the strange ones I receive 👐🏾💀 Sometimes I just go about my day, and sometimes the vitriol is just shocking, and weird

[this-is-antiblackness]

Y’all would have cried hell and back if people said “boycott everything made by Asians” or “boycott everything made by whites” and be quiet when this happens.

[hunterinabrowncoat]

not even two years after the 2024 racist riots and attempted pogroms, we are back to more racist riots and attempted pogroms.

a mosque in scotland had to be put into lockdown. they are going door-to-door with hit lists and addresses in northern ireland, setting houses alight. they firebombed an imam's house in manchester. people of colour are being targeted and attacked by racist mobs in the street in broad daylight.

and instead of widespread condemnation or wall-to-wall coverage, the UK media and political establishment is filling air time talking about the "legitimate concerns" people have about "illegal migrants"

This is Islamophobia and Racism

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

Do ‘feminists’ who believe that Islam is inherently abusive towards women.. Understand the direct damage they cause towards abused Muslim women?

Like, if a Muslim woman were to open up about any abuse she faces (whether from a spouse, or a parent, or someone else in the community) one of the first reactions she may get is ‘Islam abuses women. Islam is a bad religion. Islam is backwards, its behind, its abusive, we need to get rid of it’.

This initial extreme reaction is just making Muslim women afraid of opening up about abuse.

We know that if we mention any abuse, the automatic response (the expectation) will be to give up our religion and our beliefs. These feminists care about us, but only if we conform to that expectation. Otherwise, we’re brainwashed, we’re complacent, we’re part of the problem. Muslim women end up being unsupported by everyone around them, including the very women that claim to want to help abolish abuse against women.

This applies to queer Muslims too. By calling the entirety of Islamic society queerphobic, you indirectly let queer Muslims know that they are not welcome. And they're not. They end up in a state where they are not welcome in their homophobic societies nor in the communities that claim to be 'queer-friendly'. They have to build their own spaces, and then still end up getting constantly attacked from both sides.

Your islamophobia isn't helping anyone.

Note: I've turned notifs off for this post! I will not see any replies/reblogs

[hijabi-detected]

On a similar note, spamming islamophobic comments in the comment section of a video of a hijabi girl complaining about sexism literally proves that you don't care about women. You literally had the choice to uplift a woman expressing her frustration with sexism and decided to victim blame instead

Is this quote from a book? If so, whats the title? It looks like smthn I need to read

[gender-incinerator]

I fear many of us are forgetting that trans men belong to Men (the gender) but not Men (the sociopolitical class) and I think thats an important distinction

Repost, now do your honors.

Trans people just existing is no more sexual than when cis people just exist.
