We Must Be Workers First

When we look at discrimination and the balance of power, only one solution fits the world around us. We can't just be members of the LGBT, African-American, Women's, etc communities. We must examine the common cause of all our difficulties. We must be workers first.

The organiser of an armed march against the Jewish population in a small town in Montana has insisted the harassment campaign will go ahead.

The Daily Stormer, an American neo-Nazi website, is planning the march in Whitefish, where the mother of white supremacist Richard Spencer lives.

It will take place in the second week of January, days before president-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated. (source)

Please. Likes don’t really do much. People need to see this. Please keep the Jewish people of Montana in your prayers. Please, for the horror that is bound to occur next week, reblog this.

In 2016, there have been 26 known murders of trans people in the U.S. — more than half of them Black women. This number already surpasses the number of reported murders in 2015. On Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourn and honor the trans-identified people who’ve been killed because of their gender identity or expression.

PASS THIS ON.

The first transgender suicide hotline is now up and running in the U.S. You can reach Trans Lifeline at 877-565-8860.

Indiana officials are trying to block almost 45,000 black citizens from voting

[gootie]

So this happened. Did I wake up and discover I’m suddenly a time traveler and it’s the 1950′s? This is real. Read about it here:

http://www.essence.com/news/politics/indiana-police-raid-black-voters

And here:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-politics/wp/2016/10/15/group-accuses-mike-pence-of-voter-suppression-after-state-police-raid-registration-program-in-indiana/

It is no coincidence that Patriot Majority USA was raided by Indiana State Police. They are acting like Pence’s personal storm troopers.

Stay vigilant, stay free, and please vote next week.

[pensaynoire]

It feels like the twilight zone I keep hearing about Republicans actively and illegally blocking Black people from voting and no one is going to jail or facing any kind of punishment. It’s surreal.

Two months ago, I was trying to grab some tampons at a 7/11-type store in Wisconsin. I was zoning out over my choices when I noticed another person in the aisle with me.

She was wearing a hijab, and was probably in her twenties or so.

We were the only people in the store except for the white guy behind the counter.

And then another dude walked in, a beardy, white 40-something.

I was ready to buy my shit and leave but i just stood there, watching that old dude.

The midwest is such a shitshow i swear to god and I just couldn’t leave until that girl left too. I don’t know these men. I wasn’t going to leave the only other woman there, alone at night, with those two white men. Especially not a woman in a hijab.

I loitered and waited til she got her shit and left. I wandered to the front so I could watch her drive away.

I think in the next 4 years or more, if you haven’t already, you better start watching. Don’t leave people alone. Don’t trust anyone. Don’t assume anyone is safe. Don’t believe you’re being paranoid. It’s our duty to watch.

Planned Parenthood is fucking amazing, y’all. I haven’t been there yet…but just talking to their HRT line on the phone…

They used my respected name right off the bat. Called me Riley all the way through. Used he/him pronouns. Didn’t slip up once. Asked me and “What’s your legal name? I’m sorry I have to ask that.”

Then asked me “Now is it okay if I send things with Riley Roswell to your home?” not wanting to out me accidentally and then “Is it okay if I send stuff with planned parenthood labels on them or do you want me to be discreet about it?” knowing there are people who could get in trouble with family or partners or others for going there.

OH MY GOD I’M GOING TO CRY AND THEY DIDN’T JUDGE ME AT ALL

THEY WERE TOTALLY ACCEPTING AND ANSWERED ALL MY STUPID FUCKING BASIC QUESTIONS ABOUT HRT ABOUT WHAT THE APPT WAS GONNA BE LIKE

AND SHE WAS SO KIND AND SO UNDERSTANDING

AND SHE RESPECTED ME SO MUCH AND I WAS SO HAPPY

I CAN’T BELIEVE PEOPLE LIKE THAT EXIST IN OUR WORLD.

OH MY GOD.

AND I’M GOING TO BE GOING TO THIS WONDERFUL PLACE ON THE 29TH!!!!!!!!

[outforhealth]

This is so good! This makes us so happy! Here are Planned Parenthoods that offer HRT!

[bethagain]

Reblog for those who need it. Thank you Planned Parenthood!

The person I reblogged this from deserves to be happy

I tried to scroll past this. I really did

[invisiblelad]

I feel like minor acts of kindness and good intentions are really important on days like this.

Pssst.

Leelah Alcorn was a teen girl.  She committed suicide because her parents are transphobic and refused to acknowledge her gender identity.  Tumblr then tried to erase her from the site, but WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.  Pass it on.

You’re allowed to love being trans. You’re allowed to love the unique perspective that being trans gives you.

You’re allowed to be trans and love your gender.

You’re allowed to be trans and love your body just the way it is. You’re allowed to be trans, love your body, and want to change your body so that it feels more like home.

You’re allowed to love your transness and the process of transitioning.

[deqdyke]

trans women belong in wlw communities and terfs do not rb if u agree

[workerfirst]

someone: saying "they" in a singular sentence just feels so uncomfortable

me: existing in this cissesxist and transphobic society that continues to gender my body without my permission according to their weird arbitrary binary system is also uncomfortable but I manage, Helen

fun Halloween tip

marginalized groups are NOT ‘costumes’. do NOT build your costume [idea] at someone else’s expanse.

[kadywicker]

depression after years of having it isn’t even sadness it’s just being exhausted and being allowed one (1) emotion a week and sometimes your brain is like “die” and you’re like “shut up brad”
