We need self-proclaimed allies stop choosing to prioritize cisgender people’s comfort over the inclusiveness and safety of transgender, intersex and nonbinary people.

Having a Democrat in office doesn’t promise us that things will be better. Don’t forget that Obama deported more people than Bushes.

“Mutual aid is a term to describe people giving each other needed material support, trying to resist the control dynamics, hierarchies and system-affirming, oppressive arrangements of charity and social services. Mutual aid projects are a form of political participation in which people take responsibility for caring for one another and changing political conditions, not just through symbolic acts or putting pressure on their representatives in government, but by actually building new social relations that are more survivable.”

Twitter user @piao_mina asks how we have tens of millions of dollars for a police academy yet Rahm said he needed to shut down mental health clinics to save $2-3 million.

The Chicago Police Department spends $4 million every single day, not counting the hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements. CPD's budget makes up 40% of Chicago's budget.

The conflict at Dyke March 2017 wasn’t about religious identity but an expressed ideology that marginalizes Palestinians. The issue was a representation of something that does not honor basic human rights of non-Jewish lives.

When you become an ally of transgender people, your actions will help change the culture, making society a better, safer place for transgender people - and for all people (trans or not) who do not conform to gender expectations.
