On this #TransDayOfVisibility I would like to remind you all that whether if you're visible, not wanting to be visible, not ready to be visible, and/or visible to the point of being brighter than the sun, remember that every moment of joy, every moment of our existence is a massive fuck you to the cis-iety that tried to force us to conform to the lie they wanted us to be.
This year's #TransDayOfVisibility hits me a lot harder. In addition to multiple gender non-conforming partners and chosen family enriching my life, I have just begun to understand being #nonbinary late in life myself, and it has brought me joy I never expected to experience.
Today, we renew our resolve to fight for acceptance for all #transgender people, and to protect those who are not yet able to live their lives to their authentic fullest. (And if you want to do something good today: Please donate to https://translifeline.org which operates a crisis hotline, and provides financial legal-aid microgrants.)
It's been a bad several years, to put it very mildly. But I've been a #queer activist for 30 years, and I'm not stopping now. I have fought battles like this before, and I will do what I can to teach the next generation to defeat hate this time too.
Stay strong, and be safe. Our love WILL win. ♥️ :heart_trans:
Leviticus 20:13 "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."
Deuteronomy 22:5 "A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God."
Matthew 19:4-5 "He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?"
Matthew 18:6 "but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin,[a] it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea."
Tl;dr: You're going to hell unless you repent, faggot.
Jesus fucking christ, 4 out of 4 comments on my #TransDayOfVisibility toot are hatespeach. I block them, but the hate is still there, to negatively affect others. How do I remove this shit from my posts?
