CAW! Today is a most amazing day indeed!
#TransDayOfVisibility or #TDOV

Here are Last Caw many of my minons...I mean our team of course, fall under the trans umbrella!

If you are a trans artist of any sort, share your works, journeys, pets! CAW!

Lets celebrate how beautiful you all are!

Every day our rights are attacked: as such stand by each other. Lift each others voices. Remind each other of your power!

To all of our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings in-between: you are strong, beautiful, worth it, and may I say...absolutely stunning.

Threads is transphobic. Defederation is choosing peace,diversity, and inclusion.

In case you missed it, J.K. Rowling went full-on Holocaust-denial.

"For some people, it comes from the inside: meditation; prayer; mantras of acceptance and empowerment; hormone replacement therapy. Others start on the outside: armoring themselves with a contour brush, biker boots, a navy blue hanky in the back pocket signaling they’re a bottom," writes Tommy Dorfman in her guest editor letter for Elle magazine. "No matter the avenue, the practice of affirmation β€” for ourselves and for others in the LBGTQ+ community β€” is a necessity, especially in a world where our existence and self-expression is too often violently and systemically oppressed." Here's a @Flipboard Storyboard with the collection she edited for Elle, including stories from Jake DuPree on the beauty of burlesque, Dua Saleh and Liv Hewson on being nonbinary in Hollywood, and ALOK on the power of queer comedy.

A third reference actually has two parts and are both from the same creator from the YouTube channel Philosophy Tube, by the excellent Abigail Thorne. The two videos are thee years apart and they both give an excellent philosophical and empirical perspective on the subject.

My next reference brings the cultural aspect of Transphobia, showing how Hollywood cashed in this fear to create movie tropes and villains around trans and queer people. This is a longer video by the excellent Lindsay Ellis and should be seen with attention.

I want to share some video references regarding the historical aspect of Transphohia. How did this hate began? How did it grow? How did we get here?

I live in Brazil πŸ‡§πŸ‡·, the country in the world where most trans people are killed just for being trans and this is something very important for us to understand, because not only trans lives are human lives, but also trans rights are human rights.

I want to star this with this somewhat new reference from The Amber Ruffin Show on TikTok telling us how did we get here? A lot of this fear and bigotry stems together with homophobia and anti-communist propaganda, foccused around political and government power to create an enemy from whom their voters would need protection.

When I realise that here I can actually have my gender (nonbinary) in my bio and correct pronouns, (they/them) and feel safer than you did somewhere else social media wise.
