On this #TransDay of #Visibility, it's important to know there is a scam/shakedown service that randomly labels accounts intolerant & hateful of just about every group in society, and offers you the chance to clear your name if you subscribe for 12 months. Opportunists are the lowest of the low.

Kaylee sees you. In spite of the chaos, noise, and everything else, she hopes you feel appreciated and recognized. Especially on this day. #iykyk

Ary: “The people in here have still been who they want to be and are still out there. They are even being more outspoken to a certain point, because the jail tries to mess with them, but they still be them.”

Pooja Gehi: "Trans people in prison are experts on organizing under conditions of extreme censorship, surveillance, and repression."

Jacinda Lee Allenbaugh: “Reach out to us in solidarity. Because we need all the support we can get. Raise hell for us and with us in peaceful protests. Link up with trans organizations to support us.”

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

   Almost everybody is deeply affected when some one he loves suffers from cancer. Most people are moved when they see the sufferings of unknown patients in hospitals. Yet when they read that the death-rate from cancer is such-and-such, they are as a rule only moved to momentary personal fear lest they or some one dear to them should acquire the disease. The same is true of war: people think it dreadful when their son or brother is mutilated, but they do not think it a million times as dreadful that a million people should be mutilated. A man who is full of kindliness in all personal dealings may derive his income from incitement to war or from the torture of children in “backward” countries.
   All these familiar phenomena are due to the fact that sympathy is not stirred, in most people, by a merely abstract stimulus. A large proportion of the evils in the modern world would cease if this could be remedied.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Education and the Good Life, Part 1, ch. 2 “The Aims of Education” (1926)
