This whole adult content ban reminds me of that one time in history when the church in Rome banned prostitution and brothels which caused so many ppl to leave that it brought the city to the brink of economic collapse
full of fence but why do so many cis people completely forget how to interact with a normal human being whenever they meet a trans person
some examples (mostly based on my own personal experiences)
a guy i barely knew began asking me extremely invasive questions about my sex life when he found out i was a gay trans man. If I was cis, this absolutely never would have happened.
a guy i had literally never talked to asked me if i peed standing up. If i had asked him the same question he would have been a little creeped out (and rightfully so because asking a stranger how he uses the bathroom is fucking weird)
I’ve had countless strangers ask me weird unnecessary questions about my genitalia. That’s like me walking up to random cis guys and asking if they’re circumcised. its weird and not socially acceptable at all, unless you happen to be trans.
this isn’t even including all of the “when are you getting THE surgery” and “whats your real name” questions i get.
just…as a general rule of thumb, if you wouldn’t say something to a cis person don’t fucking say it to a trans person. it really isn’t that hard
Molly Suzanna shared a story on Facebook that she had never told before: when she was 19, she ran a red light while crying, then was pulled over and forcefully removed and beaten by a police officer. She explains in the letter that she believes her situation would have been even worse had she been black — and she ends the letter with an important call to action.
The public needs to hear more stories like this as well.
Wow. This is horrifying.
Cops are drunk on power. Add any ism to that, you have a bunch of abusive, gun wielding, trained to kill, non empathetic, killers running around.
This woman got hauled out of a window, beaten, stripped, tortured, and humiliated, and she still is able to understand how white privilege saved her life.
