Confronting Medical Racism And Transphobia: I Was Denied Treatment At My OBGYN Because I’m A Black Transman

A year of living with our faces covered and masked has taught us that society can still function even when we can't see each other's faces, and that it doesn't erase our identity, it doesn't significantly threaten security.

We're still people, humans, our eyes meet, we connect with our voices, despite the distance we maintain from each other.

With this realization now clear, it's surprising that the fixation on burqa and niqab bans still isn't going away. Switzerland recently had a vote on the matter, and now Sri Lanka seems to be headed down the same path of prejudice. It seems to be a strange kind of political fixation, an obsession. It's also now clear that these bans are inspired by nothing more than prejudice.

Sending my love and regards to all the niqabi sisters out there. You don't deserve to be subjected to these prejudices just because of your choice of clothing. Stay strong.

THERE IS A CRISIS IN YEMEN NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT

i’m putting a link to a thread w places you can donate and petitions you can sign in the comments

i think theres a serious misunderstanding of how bail works on here. if youre released on bail, it doesnt mean your charges are cleared, it means you will not be in prison leading up to your trial (often with other requirements ie. staying within the state, not contacting victim’s families, etc for your release to be allowed). 

bail funds are to release people from prison prior to their trials, but they will still be charged/having trials. the charges are not dropped by bail being paid. 

a judge ‘granting a release’ is not the person being actually Released from prison, its granting the conditions of the release (ie bail cost). it does not mean that they are out of prison (unless the bail is paid), and again does not mean charges are dropped.

'Punching down' is MAGA gospel.

This right here....2020, not a damn thing changed.
