“A TERF is a white supremacist whose gateway to white supremacy is anti-trans bigotry, instead of anti-Semitism or anti-Blackness or anti-migration or misogyny. As with any gateway, many people engaging in this ideology may not be aware of their proximity to white supremacy. This is the standard radicalization pathway that we have seen over and over and over with, for example, anti-Islamic sentiment. Personally, [I] find it is most comparable to how anti-Semitism gateways are used. Often, we see white supremacists exploiting legitimate grievances with the financial systems by turning into an anti-Semitic issue. White supremacists take legitimately frustrated and class-oppressed people’s anger at banks, and carefully plant the seeds of anti-Semitism. They’ll point out the irrefutable fact that there exist Jewish people in executive positions in banking and vilely twist this. TERFs take a legitimate grievance: patriarchal oppression of women and homophobia and turn it into a movement based on systematic exclusion of a specific class of people. This is the redpill. [We] need to stop the good-faith engagements with their ideology and start treating it like the gateway to white supremacy that it is.”

Please help me with my overdue rent and bills!!

*URGENT: PLEASE READ/SIGNAL BOOST*

Tuesday, April 6th: Hi everyone, I’m Gemma, a bi, mentally ill disaster, who’s in desperate need of help, and I had to remake this post as I'm still struggling to pay my rent and keep my utilities on.

As most of you are already aware, I have been struggling financially for quite some time due to my welfare benefits being under a review, which is due to my worsening mental health and the UK’s controversial changes to how benefits are assessed and assigned. And at the moment, I'm currently struggling to get by, as I'm a bit behind on my rent, as I had to replace my broken washing machine + pay some overdue bills and I am still awaiting the outcome of my PIP assessment (April 2021 at the latest)

I'm completely heartbroken to keep asking for help, but I still desperately need some as I don't have anyone else to turn to for help and my rent is now overdue!

If anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would literally save my life, and sharing definitely helps just as much as donations. Nobody is obligated in any way to donate if they can’t or don’t want to, I know we’re all struggling right now.

Help a Latina Trans Lesbian get Bottom Surgery

The first post lost all traction and donations have completely stopped, and I won’t shut up till she has the help she needs so here we go. 

My girlfriend is a very dysphoric trans woman. She needs to start electrolysis in order to get neo-vaginoplasty, which would save her from so much anguish. However, insurance absolutely refuses to cover this procedure, and her family is lower income so they cannot cover the costs by themselves, so we need your help.

You can donate to her gofundme here

I am a smaller account. I need help spreading this. Please reblog. 

SHUKRI ABDI 2007 - 2019 (12 years old) Manchester, England, United Kingdom 

‘If you don’t get into the water, I’m going to kill you.’

Shukri Abdi was a 12 year old Somalian girl who was born and brought up in a refugee camp in Kenya having escaped conflict in Somalia. She arrived in the UK in 2017 and experienced horrific bullying from her classmates who called her ‘coloured’ and ‘half-caste’. 

In 2017 her body was found in the River Irwell, when police arrived children were still laughing as Shukri drowned. Greater Manchester police quickly declared the incident an accident. 

“Child Four said that Shukri seemed untroubled in the deeper water when she had her arm on Child One’s shoulder, but appeared to get into difficulties when Child One let go of her and swam back to the other children.”

“Then Shukri’s head went under and came back up. I think she was trying to say something but she couldn’t, trying to call out but she couldn’t,” Child Four told the court.  

Child Four was asked by the court if Child One was laughing when they could see Shukri struggling and sumberging beneath the surface.

Child Four replied “Yes” and said they presumed it was because they thought Shukri was joking about drowning, but Child Four said they could see Shukri wasn’t joking. Child Four jumped in the water to try to save Shukri. Child Three ran to get a stick to try to pull Shukri out.

“Child One was laughing for a couple of minutes,” Child Four told the inquest. “Child One was still laughing when me and Child Three were trying to help. Child One was still laughing when I jumped in.”

Child Four said that neither Child One nor Child Two were doing anything while Shukri was drowning, and that Child One only stopped laughing when the police came.

After jumping into the water to try to save Shukri, Child Four realised they would not be able to save her, so ran to the nearby Bury police station to alert them. Child Three did the same.

Child Four said that Child Three blamed Child One for the tragedy “because they let go of Shukri”.

- The Guardian 

It is claimed by the other children CH1 said ‘If you don’t get into the water, I’m going to kill you’ to Shukri before the incident. This was intentional and not an accident. Shukri, her poor mother and dear siblings deserve justice. They came to this country thinking they were going to be safe. Manchester claims to be open and honest and loving and yet a vulnerable child has died in their city. You need to be screaming for Justice. Inquests are not enough and not fast enough, not for Shukri, not for her mother. Justice.

not a dream, my YouTube channel

I’ve decided to give this YouTube thing a serious go and start making some real content soon. I’m currently in the process of gathering equipment with the help of an amazing friend who will work behind the scenes on it with me and we’d very much like your feedback about what kind of content you’d like to see from me!

This is the channel, so please subscribe to it in order not to miss any announcements or when the first real video drops!

It has been a dream of mine for the longest time to go in this direction and make videos for you all, that’s part of the reason why I’m studying Multimedia computing now (where I learn things like sound/photo/video editing, and so on), but I’ve never had much confidence to do it. I’m shy and awkward in front of the camera, but with a gentle push from Leona, I am much braver than before and believe that I can do it.

I struggle with the fear that I will disappoint you all, that’s why feedback is so important to me, so if you have any suggestions, please do tell!

measure I have always known what you are.
