For what ever reason you left the church is valid. If you did extensive research of the history or if you didn’t. If you read the scriptures cover to cover or you barely touched it. Even if you left because “someone said something offensive”.

You dont need to prove to anyone why you left. You left for yourself. And that’s enough.

Rest in peace, Dominique

Dominique Lucious was killed on April 8, 2021 in Springfield, MO

Never forget, Black trans women need more love, protection and justice. Their lives are constantly in danger, and ignored when they need protection and recognition. Women are losing their lives. Don't forget about Dominique.

Tearful mom begs Texas lawmakers not to throw her in jail for supporting her trans child

Amber Briggle is "terrified... that my words will be used against me" and her son "will be taken from me...

The mother of a transgender boy testified before the Texas legislature in tears as Republicans try to pass a bill to criminalize parents who support their transgender children.

“I’m terrified to be here today,” said Amber Briggle told the Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs at a hearing earlier this week. “I’m afraid that by speaking here today that my words will be used against me should S.B. 1646 or S.B. 1311 pass, and my sweet son whom I love more than life itself will be taken from me.”

For Black Trans Girls Who Gotta Cuss A Mother Fer Out When Snatching an Edge Ain’t Enough

[kvetchcore]

hey I'm gonna fix all discourse real quick, watch this

1) mind your own fucking business

2) take care of your own mental health first before attempting to dictate to others how to care for theirs

3) nothing about the human experience is binary, any attempts to simplify existence down into two categories of good or bad/right or wrong will fail because there will always, ALWAYS be someone or something that cannot be categorized. Doing this to human beings is oppressive.

4) what nourishes the lily drowns the cactus. your wounds heal differently than others. respect that other people know their needs better than you do, and stop trying to change peoples needs when they don't suit yours.

The fact us black ppl gotta remind your yt asses that one wrong look, holding an “odly shaped” object, wearing a hoodie, buying takeout, PICKING UP A FLOWER. being autistic, being gay, being trans, driving home, having a broken taillight, sleeping in our cars, SLEEPING IN OUR OWN HOMES, can get us fucking killed? and you still believe that there are “good” cops? that your racist boyfriend only needs a “fixer upper”, that “it’s fine” you still hang out with your racist friends?

It’s completely beyond me. you guys don’t care. even the ones with blm in their bios, you guys don’t care and you show it with every microagression, every “you’re not like those other black people”, every “well actually —” when any of us talk about anything that affects us. you. don’t. care.

this is ok to reblog but i dont want white people commenting in replies, reblogs or tags either.

[socialistexan]

Man, fuck Youtube for promoting this homophobic, racist garbage.

I'm so tired of this shit.

Get fucked, assholes!

[socialistexan]

The fact that youtube keeps promoting this garbage should be the biggest red flag that not only are they aware of the hard-right pipeline they've built but actively encourage it.

[nightingem]

they also literally suppress videos with social justice/leftist related terms and content from being advertised. like, blatantly. and doubled down when they were caught.

in the geocities archives is the personal website of a senior gay man chronicling his life from childhood up until present day and his marriage to his husband, and it’s honestly one of the most validating and emotional things to see from the pre-maistream lgbt culture internet

(ofc content warnings apply for all the life experiences you’d expect: homophobia, discussions of aids, cancer, deaths, and suicide).

This is such an important and genuinely terrifying post. I could completely go off on the rise of anti-science, but for now I’ll just add: it isn’t just boomers that get deceived. This is a warning to all of us.

Pay ATTENTION to what you are being told. If you think you cannot be deceived, you leave yourself open to deception. Question, doubt, research research research. Learn about your personal biases, dig up any subconscious cognitive dissonance. Keep an eye on your mind.

[oldmanyellsatcloud]

It needs to be stressed that biases, not a lack of intelligence, is very much the issue here. Being aware of the need to fact check yourself is key: Intelligence won’t protect you from bad or unhealthy mental states, or keep you safe from cults of any sort. Intelligence will just make it easier for you to rationalize and attempt to justify the malformed tools you’ve taken/been given to yourself and others. You need to be wise enough to challenge yourself.

[gardenofroseandthorn]

As a cult survivor, this is lethally accurate.

Texas Republicans are now trying to pass Bill SB1646, which would remove transgender minors from parents who affirm their gender and support them getting proper transition care.

I repeat, they are trying to criminalize parents supporting their trans children and make it legally child abuse, and a removable offense

87(R) SB 1646 - Introduced version - Bill Text

[tusara]

Its a lot of legal verbatim but the specific points are underlined

[intersex-support]

This bill is a disgusting attack on trans kids and also explicitly says that doctors still will be allowed to perform surgery and give hormonoes to intersex kids, which enables so much medical abuse and nonconsensual treatment. trans and intersex solidarity is so important and bills like this are one of the reasons why.

that's some grade A horse shit.

Potent minimalist art sends a strong message about police and vigilante brutality in America

Journalist and artist Shirin Barghi has created a gripping, thought-provoking series of graphics that not only examines racial prejudice in today’s America, but also captures the sense of humanity that often gets lost in news coverage. Titled “Last Words,” the graphics illustrate the last recorded words by Brown and other young black people — Trayvon Martin, Oscar Grant and others — who have been killed by police in recent years.

Let us not forget their voices

[purplepenntapus]

Even LGBT people are afraid to create LGBT rep half the time because you fucking goblins critique things with LGBT rep so harshly that the second it does something that you personally don’t like it gets treated even worse than the shows that have absolutely no rep in them.

Demonizing every show that is earnestly trying to provide the rep we’ve been lacking is NOT THE WAY TO GET BETTER REP

[frostbytemyrik]

Remember when Dream Daddy was called homophobic because a horror-themed (and non-canon, might I add) ending was found in the game’s code? Like y'all go after everything that isn’t the most saccharine, unproblematic, nothing-bad-happens-ever shit and I’m so, so sick of it. This keeps us from getting LGBT+ rep that’s actually interesting and in interesting situations! I want actual stories, but I guess you guys don’t. You just want a perfect little picture to hang on your wall.

[discourse-dot-com]

Treating all gay people as uwu soft beans is a form of homophobia in itself, and that’s the tea. Make problematic gay characters!! Give lgbt characters flaws!! Give them interesting, non stereotypical personalities!! We’re human, and humans are flawed by nature, so treat us as such and don’t get pissed because of it.

If I got ahold of Joe Biden's phone I would put he/they in his Twitter bio then turn it off

[weaver-z]

Stop replying to this with "I would link Homestuck discourse! I would make a carrd! I would post Onceler stuff!" like guys. Guys. I appreciate the enthusiasm, but this won't work. Everyone will know it was a hack. But adding a they pronoun to the bio? Oh, baby, that's a toss-up. We would bear witness to three gorgeous hours of the biggest Twitter storm you have ever seen. It would be better than superhell night.
