2026 is now the most genocidal year for transgender Americans. Rest in peace Juniper Blessing (19), Murray Faust (22), Eryka Cadwell (40), Lukas Knapp (39), and the trans woman who has yet to be identified. There are just the ones getting any media coverage, and even then, not enough. You cannot call yourself a queer ally if you are not angry about this.
trans people, especially transmascs in the US, if you are triggered by violence and transphobia... do yourself a favor now and blacklist the terms "audrey hale," "aiden hale," "nashville," and "shooting" on every platform you can. do not look at the posts or articles. don't. it's okay to not know. there are others who can know about this without harming/endangering their health.
to those who already know and aren't okay. i know you're scared; i am too, and the feeling will pass. you're not alone. you deserve a happy, safe, joyous life, and there will always be people fighting for you, even when you can't see them or hear them or know them. please be gentle with yourself, and know your wellbeing comes first. do something comforting, talk to a friend, eat something yummy. breathe. sleep. you got this.
More than anything we as a community of queer people need to stand together. The world is falling apart and the American government is trying to outlaw our existence and "cleanse" us. Another American backed genocide.
Build community. Create, join, and engage in safe spaces. Talk to other queer people. Brave for the worst and hope for the best. We can survive if we confide in each other.
There is, and will always be hope. We will not go away, and we will not give in. Do not comply in advance, and stand your ground.
We all lift together, sparky. We're all adrift together.
This might not go anywhere and people may not listen to me, but I’ll share anyway.
I’m aware a lot of people don’t like Nickelback or pretend not to, but there’s a specific song that fits the current state of the world (Palestinian genocide, Russia calling LGBT+ people deranged terrorists, U.S. states trying to eradicate trans people from public life entirely, etc.).
When We Stand Together.
“There’s bullets flying over there; we watch it happen, and then just turn it off.”
Give it a listen on YouTube:
or on Spotify:
This is the vibe right now. This is how the state of the world feels. Remember,
“United we stand, divided we fall.”
The infighting (‘LGB without the T’, enbyphobia from binary trans people, “but let’s listen to Israel’s defense first”, etc.) makes us weaker.
We need to stop doing their work for them. We need to be aware of propaganda (systematic gaslighting) and cringe culture and identity policing.
If we have to fight for our right to live, to thrive, to exist in public....then let’s fight. Don’t lay down your arms and point fascists, neo-Nazis, etc. in the direction of others.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” Quote is attributed to “Martin Niemöller (1892-1984), a Protestant pastor who opposed Adolf Hitler and spent the last 7 years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.” (/end ID)]
“[...]Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
Eradication like this is systematic.
They won’t spare you either.
There’s a reason the phrase is “divide and conquer”. There is strength in community, in intersectionality.
I’m tired of watching infighting and debates and arguments. If you don’t support a free Palestine, if you don’t support all LGBT+ people (yes even the ones you find annoying), if you don’t support Russian LGBT+ people, if you believe the Palestinian Genocide is a complicated war/conflict (where if Palestine stopped fighting there would be peace, not total eradication), if you believe drug addicts and mentally ill people are weak or lazy, if you believe BBIMP/BIPOC don’t deserve justice & don’t believe in prison abolition, if you don’t believe women and all living people (trans, BIPOC/BBIMP, women, AFAB, etc.) deserve the right to govern their own body and make their own medical choices, if you don’t believe the whole system is flawed and functioning as designed— if you won’t stand for and with us all, please block us and get off this page.

im transmasc and IN nashville. i live like a block from where it happened. im so stressed i feel like my skull is imploding on my brain. this was upsetting enough without giving the gun nuts a minority group to blame, one that includes me and a lot of people i care about who have already been suffering under transphobic legislation lately. and i have to pretend its not personal because im in the closet from my family. i dont know what to do. i havent seen tumblr talking about it much yet so i read the tag until i found your post. thanks. we need messages of hope right now
oh my god anon, i hope you and your community can stay safe. i cant imagine how it must feel to have to keep everything inside right now. any shooting is horrific enough on its own, but it burns my soul to think of how people will entice even more violence in response. im glad you found my post and if you ever lose hope, know me and many, many others will always keep hope held for you. for all of us.
and i know you're just saying how you feel/what you're going through, but thank you for sending this. r*dfems found my post and are of course being awful. i know they're demonizing us, but i still felt guilty and selfish because of them. yet knowing my post comforted(?) a transmasc at the center of it all, that. that really helped. <3
