trans kids are still so unsafe. black people still haven’t gotten justice. mexico’s children are still missing. hong kong is still protesting. the taliban are still at large. there are countless injustices happening all over the world right at this minute. 2015, please don’t let us down.
dont let the media erase the fact that leelah’s abusive mother kept misgendering her even after her death.
she left a ten paragraph suicide note where she talked extensively about how it was her parents’ fault for the way they dealt with her dysphoria and then a separate post where she writes to the people in her life and the line to her parents is “Mom and Dad: Fuck you. You can’t just control other people like that.” and yet her mom goes on social media and says her son was out walking and was accidentally hit by a truck
I want a fucking movement.
I want protests and laws and reforms and programs for trans and nonbinary rights.
I want transgender and nonbinary deaths to make just as many people angry as it did for Micheal Brown or Eric Garner.
I want more people to be educated on how gender works so we never have to have another slaughter like this again.
Make a big fucking deal about this. Don’t shut up about it. Give these deaths meaning. Give the world hell.
WATCH THIS. A news segment that does not misgender her, mentions what her parents did to her, and calls the tragedy like it is.
