Since joining the #Fediverse 💫 early last November I realise I have signed more UK Petitions than in the whole rest of my life ... makes me want to thank all those keeping a safe space for us as #trans :flag_transgender: by
✅ Posting things (like petitions!!) that encourage *actions* rather than re-tweeting transphobia :birdsite:
✅ #Allies taking and promoting tangible actions too 💜
✅ Self-moderating and CW-ing transphobic content - yes, it does help on #MentalHealth
✅ Actively moderating at all levels eg. report-not-just-block, calling out Fediblock recommendations etc
✅ Welcoming and boosting #Introduction posts
Coming back after few weeks time-out from our UK media (and social media) just reinforces for me how much we need a safe online space as a haven/respite
I hope more continue to see the light 💡 (I still have trans friends on the birdsite) ... but one has to experience it
Hey- #allies- you know who you are...
What I'm about to say, I saw with love, but,
If a person from a marginalized community, whether they're #trans, #bipoc, #jewish... If they tell you they've had enough and they're getting the hell out of Dodge, i.e. the US. Don't fucking ask them/us "Don't you want to stay and fight?"
Because I can tell you, for some of us, we've already done that math, and have decided that going somewhere else is the best plan for us right now.
And I don't even know at this point if I really can leave or if it will work in the end, but I sure am going to fucking try.

“Any social movement in recent memory that has attempted to break the mold of permitted realities and marches, and raise the economic cost of doing business as usual, has had to face a social justice industry designed to channel social unrest back into electoral politics elite representation, and fantasies of political reform without mass popular resistance,”
from “Dangerous #Allies by Tipu’s Tiger”
@BobWilliams @Papa @thewebmusician I think there needs to be a place where #allies can be allowed to seek understanding without being held up to ridicule because even though we don't own skin in the actual game, we are aware of or concerned about the issues our fellow humans, no matter what t-shirt they wear, or what experiences they bring to the table are suffering through.
I'm not black but I know because I read and know black people some of the shit they are confronted by, and I own my right to be concerned about those issues, since they have their nurture in my skin colour, but not in me.
My only friend in my village is #trans and we talk daily and I know the shit she has to deal with as a result of 8 cvnts in the village who I'd be happy to see disabled in their emotional violence against her.
I'm #queer not #trans but that doesn't stop me listening and learning and acting, the same as I do with my kangaroos being killed daily in the biggest slaughter of wildlife on the planet. I haven't yet been shot by someone I regard as being sub human because of his choice of work. But I haven't written off the possibility of it happening. What I do know is the pain and grief of my animals because I live that grief daily as I rehabilitate them ready to go to the wild.
Why does my concern for marginalised people mean less in the eyes of some of them? If there is no support from others than their own group how can they expect changes in attitude in the wider population?
End rant.
