Me: *playing Harry Potter: Wizards Unite because I'm addicted to the Sims and I need to curb the addiction, HP was the only option, and although I dislike J.K. Rowling, I like Harry Potter*
Me: *sees what J.K. Rowling said on twitter via tumblr*
My response:
Me: Uhhh, so having periods is what makes a woman? I guess that excludes women with amenorrhea (a lack of menstruation) on menopause so I guess you aren't a real woman, J.K. Rowling! Or you'll stop being one once you go on menopause! 😂 🤣😂🤣
Me: Also, if you truly "know and love" trans people, why are you a Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist in the first place? As a feminist and non-binary, pansexual woman myself, I'm genuinely confused? Isn't that the opposite of knowing and loving trans people and the LGBTQIA+ community as a whole? I don't get it. 🤨🤨🤨
Listen, I know times are tough right now, with the death of George Floyd, this project pridefall that I've heard about, and pretty much everything else that's happening, I just want you all to know that I'm scared too, but I'm going to stand up and do what's right anyways despite knowing I could endanger my life in doing so.
I am half-Korean, pansexual, non-binary, and I have 4 disabilities: autism (no duh), generalized anxiety disorder, major seasonal bereavement depression, and insomnia, which makes me a target in my own home. The only reason I am not attacked is because everyone seems to think I'm white. In fact, I was raised as white because my South Korean mother was adopted by Norwegian-Americans.
I also tend not to speak up because of some school-related trauma. Now I say this to all my followers: you are valid and shouldn't have to be made a target in your own home just because you are different, you have as much of a right to feel safe as everyone else. It's easy to put people in boxes: there us and there's them, even though we're all equals, both different and the same, people tend to focus on our differences than what we share in common. Stop focusing on what sets us apart and start focusing on what brings us together. Take the Danish commercial above as an example rather than the trash American Society feeds you. In regards to the death of George Floyd, The Pandemic of Racism against Asians that followed the COVID-19 Epidemic, the transphobia of J.K. Rowling, and the hate against the LGBT community and the hate against all of those that are different as a whole, you are not alone, you are valid, and you are loved, and I won't let anyone hurt you. I remember a long time ago, I said I thought politics were stupid and a waste of time, yet said I loved The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, but that declaration would not be if it weren't for politics, so I do at least appreciate political shit now that I realize that, but I don't like all the screaming and shouting and arguing. I look back at some of these entries and genuinely cringe at how I used to be, and I wonder how many rights these hate crimes violate? I still stand by what the declaration stands for, but do your fucking job, United Nations! This is a crisis that needs serious attention, and you're just sitting on your asses doing nothing! Also, fuck J.K. Rowling, and not in the literal sense. Ew.
Anywho, the pride selfie was taken via this app called YouCam: Makeup. It says my skin is 30 years old though, as if I give a shit. I just like the way the makeup looks, like this one:
And these two:
And I'm not a big fan of the greatest showman, but I love the song: This is Me, and I've been listening to it a lot, as it gives me hope during this trying time, it should have been a stand-alone, just saying.
Anywho, this needed to be said, and if nobody else is going to say it, who will?
Update: Just discovered All That We Share 2, give it a watch.
