Leelah’s final wish was for everything she had to go towards transgender charities. Due to the circumstances it’s doubtful her parents will follow through with her wishes. Please consider donating to places like TransOhio, Kaleidoscope Youth Center, or Trans Lifeline in her honor.
To add onto this, Trans Women of Color Collective, Trans Youth Support Network, and Trans Student Educational Resources.
unfollow me if you support leelah alcorn’s parents. unfollow me if you think transgender teens are just going through a “phase”. unfollow me if you feel “neutral”. unfollow me right now if you feel anything other than disgust and rage at what’s happening.
Do not share news articles where Leelah Alcorn is misgendered.
If you cannot find one where she is not misgendered, share a tumblr post. Share the link to her blog. Make a post and share it. But do not be active in her misgendering.
If someone in Australia kicks off a new meme just after midnight on New Years eve and it goes viral straight away and gets reblogged all through America in the 8 or so hours before they hit midnight will it be the first meme of 2015 or the last meme of 2014? who decides? who gets to make that call? the UN?
if i ever misgender you:
- it is not on purpose i promise
- im very sorry
- tell me your correct pronouns and ill use them
- spray me with cold water
