do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

averybellearchive-deactivated20

Transcript:

Y'all better quiet down! I've been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help! And you all don't do a goddamn thing for them! And they write STAR, not the woman's group! They do not write women, they do not write men, they write to STAR! Because we're trying to do something for them! But you all tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs! I will not put up with this shit! I have been beaten, I have had my nose broken, I have been thrown in jail, I have lost my job, I have lost my apartment for gay liberation, and you all treat me this way?! What the fuck's wrong with you all?! Think about that! I believe in the gay power, I believe in us getting our rights, or else I would not be out there fighting for our rights, that's all I wanted to say to you people. Come and see people at STAR House on Twelfth Street, the people that are trying to do something for all of us, and not men and women that belong to our white middle class club! And that's what you all belong to! Revolution now! Gay power! Know the gay power!

This is actually a heavily edited version of her speech, cutting out all of her focus on the sexual violence that she and other queer folks, especially trans and GNC folks experienced at the time. She was angry that all of the white middle class queers that were managing and primarily attending the March were ignoring the massive amounts of state supported violence being directed towards lower class queers and especially queer POC. Cutting out her repeated mentions of rape to make the video more palatable is continuing to erase that violence. Watch/read the full version instead and acknowledge that this violence has barely slowed down today for trans folks. That our president issued an order to imprison trans women in men's prisons, directly ordering our justice system to ignore the Prison Rape Elimination Act as part of ensuring that those sexual violence against trans folks was perpetuated. Don't you fucking dare cut her words in the topic.

Here's the full transcript and an unedited video or her speech. Also, don't forget in your transcript that she spoke through boo's and jeers and that's why she had to tell them to quiet down to start. Those boo's died down as her speech continued and the crowd felt shame.

Sylvia: "Y’all better quiet down. I’ve been trying to get up here all day for your gay brothers and your gay sisters in jail that write me every motherfucking week and ask for your help and you all don’t do a goddamn thing for them.

Have you ever been beaten up and raped and jailed? Now think about it. They’ve been beaten up and raped after they’ve had to spend much of their money in jail to get their [inaudible], and try to get their sex changes. The women have tried to fight for their sex changes or to become women. On the women’s liberation and they write ‘STAR,’ not to the women’s groups, they do not write women, they do not write men, they write ‘STAR’ because we’re trying to do something for them.

I have been to jail. I have been raped. And beaten. Many times! By men, heterosexual men that do not belong in the homosexual shelter. But, do you do anything for me? No. You tell me to go and hide my tail between my legs. I will not put up with this shit. I have been beaten. I have had my nose broken. I have been thrown in jail. I have lost my job. I have lost my apartment for gay liberation and you all treat me this way? What the fuck’s wrong with you all? Think about that!

I do not believe in a revolution, but you all do. I believe in the gay power. I believe in us getting our rights, or else I would not be out there fighting for our rights. That’s all I wanted to say to you people. If you all want to know about the people in jail and do not forget Bambi L’amour, and Dora Mark, Kenny Metzner, and other gay people in jail, come and see the people at Star House on Twelfth Street on 640 East Twelfth Street between B and C apartment 14.

The people are trying to do something for all of us, and not men and women that belong to a white middle class white club. And that’s what you all belong to! "

REVOLUTION NOW! Gimme a ‘G’! Gimme an ‘A’! Gimme a ‘Y’! Gimme a ‘P’! Gimme an ‘O’! Gimme a ‘W’! Gimme an ‘E! Gim me an ‘R’! [crying] Gay power! Louder! GAY POWER!

For those of you who are unaware, the "STAR" she is referring to is the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries. A short-lived group she founded with Marsha P. Johnson, which sought to organize lumpen-proletarian trans women along a similar model to that pioneered by national liberation groups like the Black Panther Party. Rivera, as a representative of STAR, even attended the BPP's People's Revolutionary Constitution, where she advocated for the inclusion of trans women in the wider revolutionary movement

it's weird how there's this perception of OCD as the "cleanliness" disorder where people still consider OCD behaviors to be like, rooted in some rational and correct (but overshot) trajectory toward objectively sanitary conditions, if that makes any sense? like there was a reddit post about somebody's roommate who had an extremely biohazardous room and a few commenters mentioned that OCD might be a factor based on her other behaviors, and a bunch of non-OCD-havers were like "what??? but it's objectively not clean??? there's so much bacteria in there???"

like idk how to tell you that the disorder gives you disordered thinking. disordered thinking is not rational. and there are absolutely things that trigger 1 person with OCD but do not matter to another, because your OCD can latch on to literally anything.

I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight

livingvampires

"autistic people are fine as long as they don't have meltdowns and aren't weird And aren't annoying and only like the things I like but don't like them in a weird way and don't talk or carry themselves in an unconventional way and only stim in a way I deem acceptable if I allow them to stim at all (stimming is cringe if you only do the hand flaps but the hand flaps are the only acceptable one) and don't make it obvious that they're autistic"<- what these people fucking sound like

If the anime won't adapt these true and canon facts about Subaru I will

pareidoliasys

Sometimes I will see a post on youtube about re:zero and get reminded via blunt force trauma that the majority of the re:zero fanbase is in fact not a collective of queers like myself who (correctly) see Re:Zero as a show with a trans female protagonist so deep in the closet that it just at first seems like it's a guy.

Some people genuinely think Natsuki "Dropped out of high-school because he went as a girl for literally no fucking reason and got outed on day 3 which sent him spiralling" Subaru is a totally normal heterosexual man and it baffles me

pareidoliasys

So! It seems like I underestimated how many people knew about all this!

I originally said this as a funny joke but it turns out! This is genuinely an unknown fact. So let me tell you, Natsuki Subaru is the single biggest egg in all of anime and it's not even close, nor is it subtle.

Other things that has been shown or revealed about Natsuki "Totally Cis" Subaru either mentioned off hand or directly stated by her- I mean, him:

- Natsuki Subaru invented a female persona of himself named Natsumi Schwartz, who is a self confident, flirty female version of himself.

- Said Female Persona is directly stated to be his Idealised Self, this happens in the main story and is not side content, he straight up says that it's everything he wants to be and when he embodies it he feels better about himself.

- On at least three separate occasions in the story, when confronted with a need to disguise himself as someone else, Natsuki Subaru's first instinct has been to immediately dress up as a woman and he will endlessly justify it to both the people around him and himself endlessly.

- Natsuki Subaru is canonically REALLY FUCKING GOOD at Make-up and it's called into note a few times

- After his voice outed him in his female highschool debut and after an incident where he needed help from Puck to make his voice sound like a girls so he could pretend to be a rich princess (FOR NO LEGITIMATE FUCKING REASON), he canonically spends like an entire year doing voice training until he can do a convincing feminine voice. Which he can.

- The reason why he knows how to sew so well in season 1 is because of his past experiences with sewing and wearing Women's Clothes.

- One of the times he disguises himself as Natsumi, Natsuki Subaru dressed up not only himself, but also two other men and forced them into dresses and make-up to disguise them as well, this is not played in a transmisogynistic way of "ew, boys in dresses" but in a way of "Natsuki Fucking Subaru, Why Are You So Fucking Good At This and also Why Are You Suggesting This So Hard"

- After said disguise was no longer necessary, every other guy immediately returned to their normal clothes. Subaru on the other hand, continued to wear it despite every single person in the fucking cast at the time continually questioning him, to which he responds that he'll get around to it eventually.

- HE DOESN'T GET AROUND TO IT, HE MAKES UP A NEW EXCUSE TO KEEP BEING NATSUMI INSTEAD

- he also becomes a massive flirt to men in a way that feels slightly too genuine when dressed up as a woman, which isn't really relevant but it's super funny to me. Not escaping the bisexual allegations.

In addition to all of this, Tappei, the author of Re:Zero, once stated that Reinhard has Subaru beat in every single skill except for one, that skill is: Being a woman.

That's my girl right there.
