Rule: You must post before you leave.
ID: text at the top says "Them: you're really going to die for drag queens and queer folk?" below is an image of Dale from King of the Hill, wearing a balaclava with sunglasses and a red had with an anarchy A on it, he is smoking a cigarette, and saying "someone is"
I am not LGBTQA+. I'm just some boring cis.
I approve of this. As long as anyone is incapable of doing things that others can based on gender or other trivialities like race or skin tone, the fight continues.
Also, but equally as important is bodily autonomy. You want to do, or not do something with your own person? Neat. As long as it doesn't harm anyone else, you go for it.
I like my coffee icey and my memes spicy.
I'm just so tired I wish fucking anyone would fight for me. I feel like I'm drowning, and realistically I am.
A family that can never once emotionally validate you, instead choosing to make endless excuses as to why I shouldn't feel the way I do, and wondering why that makes my depression worse and makes me feel like I'm going crazy.
Never had real supports, was always on my own, always underpaid, always forced to be the actual adult in the room even when I was a child, gee I wonder why I came out all fucked up and not amounting to anything?
Related: I was an egg that was crushed under the boot of society.
EDIT: Everyone's being real sweet but my life's fucked, I'm in a right wing shithole and the only people who care are struggling as much as I am. Please stop giving hopeful messages because they hurt more than help when there is no hope.
Lemme validate you, Snot, SHIT SUCKS ASS.
My trans bestie says the only reason she isn't offing herself is because if she does then they win, and she'd would rather die throwing a molotov at a faschie than doing their job for them.
Idk if that helps. Shit sucks. This wasn't very hopecore.
Hey if you want someone to talk to, hmu. I was suicidal until my 30s. I get it.
I don't know you but I'll absolutely fight for you.
And my axe.
I will commit crimes to protect you and anyone like us. The law means nothing to me. You are a human being and that means everything to me. Please stay strong. I know how fucked up it is. I live in rural nowhere and people follow me out to my car to physically and verbally intimidate me for daring to wear a mask in the grocery store. My friends say I am a problem for bringing up the fact that we are being systematically exterminated and that we need to fight it in every possible way. I love you, random internet stranger. Please do your best to stay strong. I will, too. Promise. I do not intend to let you down.
My friends say I am a problem
Sounds like your friends are the problem. But be a problem. Commit crimes. LIVE. I am here for you. You and @SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone both.
I can somewhat relate to your pain, and I sincerely hope that you find friends that supports you and like you as you are and that you can find respite here and there until then.
Godspeed.
That's not Dale, that's Rusty Shackleford.
Pocket sand!
My bad lol
Fortunately I won't have to, because I live in the UK. But if that the nazis come here I have some queer friends that I will join for a molotov party.
Sorry to burst your bubble but we already have one hell of a Nazi problem here. We even have multiple distinctive schools of it. You and your group of friends are in the perfect position to organise against it yourselves. If you want a hand getting started, DM me your city/county and I can probably point you in the right direction for people who already do some work against fascism (to varying levels of success). If not, I can point you to what your local Nazis are up to and give you pointers towards working with your friends to keep people in the community safe.
If you think queer, and especially trans, people are safe here on TERF island, or that we don't have our own fascism brewing, you haven't been paying attention.
