Lee says:

March 31 is Transgender Day of Visibility, and I hope that people will use this opportunity to direct some much needed attention to the issues that multiply marginalized members of the transgender community face as we work to stand in solidarity with each other, become better allies for one another, and celebrate our resilience as a community.

Here’s one article to start things off:

We Need to End Intersex Erasure in Queer Communities

"We desperately need room in queer spaces to explore, to heal, and to self-identify."

Help us by spreading the news

The Iranian protesters being called Islamophobic is like when black people of America stand up for themselves and are called anti-white. Not all Muslims in Iran are against freedom and many of them are actually standing with the protesters the way not all white people in America are white. but the protest is against those who are using their religion as a tool to shut others down and beat them into submission. 

The people of Iran shouldn’t have to be Muslims and abide by Islamic rules to alive. 

There is also the fact that not all Muslim believe and abide by all the rules. Not all Muslim women wear hijabs so if this was really about Islam, those people would be safe, which is absolutely not the case. Religion is a very personal thing, and should not be forced upon people.

Hijab may be a sign of religious freedom in the west but in Iran, for most people Hijab has become a uniform of oppression. 

Many people are warping what these protests that are now happening in Iran stand for. Just know that the real reason they are happening is because the police of Iran Brutality murdered a 22 year old girl who was wearing the most normal version of the hijab that Iranian women wear. 

This is incredible 🥺🥴🤧

Chills. I can't imagine my own high school showing up like this less than a decade ago to protest disgusting legislation like Florida's Don't Say Gay bill. The support Gen Z shows for the LGBTQ community is breathtaking.

The fight goes on. Keep it up.

hey, my kurdish friend wanted to point out that the iranian woman murdered by the police in tehran was a kurd and her kurdish name was jîna emînî. she has mostly been referred to as mahsa amini, the iranian version of her name, in the media & that can ofc still be used to make sure posts about her reach a mainstream audience. however people should make sure to mention her given kurdish name foremost, as well as highlight the fact that she was a kurd in the first place, because that played a part in her facing the violence that she did.

Happy #TransDayofVisibility to everyone who:

🏳️‍⚧️ Isn't out yet (or ever)

🏳️‍⚧️ Is figuring things out/having a rough time

🏳️‍⚧️ Hasn't had surgery or HRT (or never wants to)

🏳️‍⚧️ Doesn't feel like their true self yet

We see you, it gets better, it's YOUR day too. ✨
