A Short Letter

I’m writing this plainly.

I’m scared. I’m scared because I’m paying attention. My Instagram passed 40k. My TikTok is growing quickly. After the FBI letter, the attention increased instead of fading. That tells me I’m being watched more closely, not protected.

Other trans activists have had passports revoked. I’m checking mine. I don’t say that lightly.

Because of this, I’m changing where I publish my most politically serious work. I will post that writing on Tumblr and Substack. These platforms move slower and are less tightly monitored. This decision is practical. It is about reducing exposure, not about disappearing.

I stand by my writing and my analysis. I continue to reject moralism, assimilation, and the expectation that trans women should soften their politics to be tolerated. At the same time, I won’t pretend that visibility has no consequences. Attention brings scrutiny. Scrutiny brings pressure.

If you have felt more cautious lately, that response makes sense. It reflects awareness, not weakness.

I am still writing. I am choosing platforms more carefully.

Haven't seen anyone talking about it here, but vocal transfeminist and writer Tara Knight has been sent a threat from the fbi insisting that she stop speaking about "radical gender ideology" and get rid of the past 3 years of her work.

A black trans woman is getting personally threatened by the fbi for being a transfeminist. What the fuck. Hopefully this gets more reach than my usual posts so that people who are able to can support her.

Here’s her latest post about it.

[Transcript: So as you all have likely heard I was forwarded a letter from the FBI informing me that my work and my platform and everything I’ve built over the past three years has to go, um, for propagating what they are calling ‘radical gender ideology’. Um, this comes from Trump Executive order, um basically saying I’m a propagandist for domestic… september eleventh… thing. Um, I would… I— I’ll just say, point blank, short period. I have no intentions of stopping anything. Maybe to my detriment but I’ve never been the smartest one. That’s— all I’m gonna say on this.]

Just as I was writing that transcript she posted this—

[Transcript: So I was told and informed that it’s probably in my best interest to tell all of you where you can find me in the event that I get deleted because having a platform is probably the only thing that will keep… everything okay, if you will. So I will provide the links and ads to my TikTok, my Substack, my Bluesky, the like. You’ll be able to find me there in the event… y’know. Y’know.]

and the comment section was STILL full of people intentionally missing the point and bringing dob into a conversation that’s not about him

“well dob got famous after teen wolf and posey didn’t” yeah maybe in part because of how the marketing (and audience) pushed the white man ahead of him. I’d argue that dob got more chances to really stretch his legs and flex his acting skills compared to posey (void stiles especially) which is, again, the fault of writers and producers.

“well I happen to like stiles better and it’s not bc he’s white 😤” ok cool that’s literally not what this post is about though

“in my defense I didn’t even know he was latino he looks white” BECAUSE SHOWRUNNERS PURPOSELY DOWNPLAYED HIS RACE AND WOULDN’T MAKE IT A SIGNIFICANT PART OF HIS CHARACTER!

I swear to god these people are swerving around the point like it’s a banana peel in mario kart

#'better looking' just say ur racist just sayyyy it i promise u won't explode but i sure wish u would!#the writers literally have a character so afraid of losing control that he becomes a pacifist #and then they stopped asking the actor for him to portray that in their script past season 2 on a 6 season show #like they just forgot to portray that struggle of lycanthropy for any of them outside of liam and malia #even though it never goes away!!#you just have to get better at hiding it but scott's life only got More stressors!!!!! More things that raise his blood pressure like #and you can EASILY see how scott orients his entire philosophy in response around nonviolence #just to exist post!bite just to live with this thing that was done to him #but they stopped letting posey portray the Struggle to remain in control of ur actions even in defense of urself and others #when u have that enhanced of a capacity for it OR otherwise!!!#in anything other than words or self sacrifice WHICH is still incredibly telling to me!!!! like it is still CRAZY he's still soo everything #but i would have liked a script that let posey Show it more nonverbally and in day to day (for him. in beacon hills lol) life #they always showed the Cost to this! always always! the audience response to him is a cost in of itself. to me #so again it's still the only thing ever but like. i would have liked to see scott sweating blood in gethsemane about it #the weight of it is SO crazy and they never let him stumble under it past motel california WHICH they never let him talk about anyway #just like how he never gets to react to season 4 or like. anything but the bite itself. all the seasons are a reaction to that btw<3 #idk he never gets to get angry or upset and like that's the catch 22!!!!!!!!! he's a werewolf so he can't get angry or upset!!#not without losing control without hurting someone!!! like it's just so tragic and compelling and so UNDERSTATED in the script #it's soooo so good and beautifully portrayed and written like what's there is. i just wish they said More #it's all there it's so easy to put 2 and 2 together but the script stopped asking tyler to get to illustrate the stress as a baseline #beyond Dying on multiple occasion so it was that much easier for an audience to pretend it's that easy not to hurt anybody #when as we see THROUGH the audience's fave stiles it is NOT that easy!!!!! and he's a HUMAN and somehow they still don't get it. evil #not that they would've gotten it anyway but i just wouldve liked to see posey get to illustrate that tension of the cost he's chosen to pay #the toll of trying to remain a nonviolent werewolf teenager. he was a TEENAGERRR he should've gotten to get UPSET!!!#full moons stopped being more than a background prop for scott to offset a lack of control + surplus of rage in his protégée #which people have sympathy for in comparison as if scott doesnt have to keep a handle on how he feels even as his protégé tries to Kill Him #like the fandom thinks it's Nothing like it's just Annoying Posturing that scott does that for every single one of the people who try #idk it's gross!!!!#boooo thumb's down #wow i had a lot to say <3 i miss being a teen wolf blog what if we go back here......

titansandcurses

it should be against the law for streaming services to use shows they canceled to advertise. stop parading her dead body around you bitch you literally killed her

ifyouknowmeirlgoaway

Actually what's great about the scene in the ice hotel is Carol gets to safely be so unhappy about it.

Like, we see in the book store scene that she's fully capable of putting on a show of being happy. She's so nice to her fans, even when they refuse to get the hint and keep asking to know if Raban will be back. She probably puts on a show about being happy about things constantly.

And then when it's her and Helen, she can just be moody and unhappy. Helen is fine with it. She wants to cuddle with her bitchy wife on the ice bed and watch the Northern lights while Carol complains.

And now Carol is alone with people who see her unhappiness as something to not just alleviate, but cure forever. And if she's too unhappy she can kill millions of people.

#literally the way helen is so unaffected by it and even fond and silly about it.....#love is real #i miss helen more and more with every rewatch the world deserved so much more of her but more importantly carol :(

This image isn't just a fleeting news item; it's part of our daily reality in Gaza. While thousands of trucks loaded with tents, blankets, food, and medicine are held outside the Strip, prevented from entering by the Israeli occupation, we face a humanitarian catastrophe that worsens day by day. We die here every moment. We suffer constantly, and everyone ignores what we're going through.

fadel-dani

I was injured more than 600 days ago. Shrapnel from the bombing of our house, while we were inside, is still embedded in my body. I'm still injured and unable to receive proper treatment because of the siege and the lack of medical supplies. The pain is constant, but what's worse than the pain is the feeling that we're forgotten and that everyone is ignoring what we're going through. We constantly ask for help, and everyone ignores us.

fadel-dani

My family and I are very ill now due to the winter storm that began yesterday in Gaza. Because of this winter, we haven't been able to recover due to the lack of medicine and shelter from these recurring storms. Our tent is torn and leaking rainwater and cold air. Worse still, all our blankets and pillows are soaked. We urgently need to buy medicine and treatments, but they are very expensive because the occupation prevents the entry of medicine into Gaza. Therefore, we desperately need your help by donating so we can buy these medicines quickly. Please donate.

fadel-dani

Worse still, I have a runny nose and severe sneezing. When I sneeze, it feels like the metal fragments (stuck in my body) are moving inside me, and I experience excruciating pain in the affected areas and my wounds. Please help me so I can buy my medication as soon as possible. Please donate.

pitbolshevik

please donate

sporesgalaxy

Please give what you can to help Fadel get medicine, and help he and his family survive the seige and the dangerous weather

fadel-dani

I am very ill right now. When I sneeze, it feels like metal fragments are moving around inside me. I am extremely tired. I just sneezed, and my wounds and injured areas are in excruciating pain. I don't know how long this pain will last. Please help me by donating so I can have my surgery as soon as possible and buy my medication. Please donate.

closet-keys

Please help my friend Fadel. He needs care urgently. No one should have to suffer like this. Please donate if you can.

fadel-dani

I don't know what to say or do in this intense storm and winds exceeding 70 kilometers per hour. I can barely stretch my hand out to write this post. Please, whoever shares this, please, please donate to us.

neechees

20% raised so help if you can, even if that means rbing this

fadel-dani

The pain has become unbearable; I even wish for death. I feel no relief, and the pain is relentless. I still can't afford my medication. Every moment feels like my last. My only wish is that everyone knows what I'm going through, and that my voice reaches anyone who can help by donating so I can buy medicine and repair our torn tent. Please donate and don't abandon us.

closet-keys

Please help Fadel to get some medication. It is so cruel and unfair that he is enduring sickness and pain for so long without relief. Please help him.

Do you know what it means for a child to die from cold? It means their body temperature drops dangerously (hypothermia). The heart struggles to pump blood, oxygen fails to reach the brain, breathing slows down, and one organ after another shuts down… until the child freezes to death in silence.

In Gaza, 21 children did not die from cold alone, they died from the world’s abandonment.

nourasbasha

For more than two weeks, I have been pleading with you. I have four children, and we live in a tent after our home and life were destroyed. I am powerless to do anything without your help.

nourasbasha

I told you my children barely recover from coughing and fever before falling ill again. I told you that water seeps under our tent and through the fabric, soaking my children’s beds. They wake up wet, with blue fingers and toes, shivering from the cold. I see them and can do nothing but beg you.

nourasbasha

I am trying to rent a house, the only solution I have right now, but it is expensive, and we don’t have enough money to move to a warm place for them. So please, this time, don’t ignore this plea.

nourasbasha

If you can donate even a little, please do. And if you can’t, please share this message everywhere, so it reaches those who can help.

nourasbasha

Don’t fail us this time. My children are literally dying from the cold. A one-year-old’s airway cannot tolerate breathing cold air outdoors, and the tent is like being outside, the temperature inside and outside are the same.

nourasbasha

Please don’t look away. Share, donate, speak up, do whatever you can… please.

greatathunberg

I can’t stop thinking about these kids shivering in tents, soaked and freezing. Their father is begging for help, and we must listen. This is a real emergency, let’s spread the word, donate if we can, and do whatever it takes to save these little lives.

sporesgalaxy

Please do what you can to let Mohamed and his family know they aren't forgotten, share and give what you can to help them afford basic needs like food and shelter

nourasbasha

At least try! Simply sharing this post is a helpful humanitarian act. It might reach people who could donate to save four children. Don't hesitate. Please do something.

ellevandersneed

Please share and help my friend Mohammed! Times in Gaza are especially tough during winter. Your actions could really help!

nourasbasha

We might move to a warmer place soon... We're close to renting a good house for our children and Daffy... Please continue to help us, even if it's just a little.

crtscreen

THEY ARE SO CLOSE! PLEASE HELP!

nourasbasha

Your support, friends, please... Your presence and sharing of our story gives us hope. Don't let this post stop with you.

I... really don't like talking about these kinds of things, but I saw a post just a bit ago that was talking about how marginalized women are often stripped of our womanhood. The post talked about women of color, disabled women, CAFAB intersex people, and trans men, all of which face serious issues, but conspicuously there wasn't so much as a mention of trans women, who are constantly denied our womanhood as a point of political rhetoric and even have it actively legislated away from us or stripped away with violence. It feels demoralizing knowing how often we're an afterthought, if we're even thought of, especially with how violent the movement against our existence has been lately.

#the concept of including trans men in a post about the politicized stripping of womanhood and not trans women #transmisogyny
