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’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.
I don’t know you but I’ll absolutely fight for you.
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.
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.
The right to freely express love towards any adult and have autonomy over your own body no matter the decision is also a gateway for other laws typically hindered by conservative voices for being, well, too liberal in decision, for example taxes, government funded construction, increased subsidies, bureaucratic reform (such as one where police are divided into seperate divisions for less overreach and corruption), employee safety, prevention of democratic backsliding, etc, denying the fundamental right for people to express themselves would make activism for previous goals difficult, especially in a nation like USA
