Mahshid, an Iranian trans woman, was brutally murdered & her body desecrated
She is the first trans person I've heard of being murdered this Pride month as Westerners throw covid-spreading parties and parades for themselves, doing precious little as queers around the world are terrorized, disappeared, and murdered
There is no Pride while queer lives & communities are being destroyed
These regimes and ideologies killing us are killing the planet and will in time kill even y'all who are far too comfortable
Jin, jiyan, azadi
May your memory be a blessing, Mahshid.
May we return to our ancestral ways and build an Iran for all Iranians where queers are beloved and held sacred once more.
May our children live in the better world Mahshid and all our fallen siblings deserved.
