🗣 TRANSWOMEN ARE WOMEN
in USA, LGBTQIA don’t just have two moms, we have two TRANSGENDER MOMS without whom the CIVIL RIGHTS & FEMINIST movements would have been charades. there are no Stonewall Riots without Ms. Marsha P. Johson and Sylvia Rivera:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sylvia_Rivera
fascists gay men like Tim Cook and Peter Thiel hate transwomen because they hate women; and have been paying the MAGA nazis to erase them from LGBTQI history:

my yearly reminder that USA’s #LGBTQI civil rights movement not only has two moms but they were transgender African American and Latine women.
on this #TDOR #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, all new yorkers owe a debt of gratitude to Ms. Marsha P. Johson and Ms. Sylvia Rivera. without their continued leadership after the #StonewallRiots, #nyc wouldn’t have today a hospital & clinics system that offers health care to all, regardless of ability to pay.
Trans rights are human rights.
Protect and defend trans people.
No LGB without the T!

To all the trans, non-binary and gender-nonconformist folks across this planet—you are all so beautiful. no matter how much hate you face, know I will never stop loving you.
Know that every day you keep going is a threat to hatred.
Survive. Thrive. Love. You are a person, not a statistic. #TDOR
Today, on Transgender Day of Remembrance, we pause to honor the lives of transgender people lost to anti-trans violence this past year.
This is not just a statistic; each number is a human being, loved and missed. We remember them. 🕯️

On this Day of Remembrance, let’s keep in mind that transgender people have always been with us. We lived and worked during the American Revolution. We laughed and cried as the pyramids were being built in Giza 🌄
More recently and very much including today, but still reaching back some generations, transgender people face widespread violence. Especially our Black siblings. My heart breaks for every human when I remember those we’ve lost for no good reason. And I celebrate their lives

The other is polygon. I... dont even know what to say. I never felt as emotionally close with anyone else as I did with it, not even close.
As I started writing this post I just started crying again. Not as intensely as the day as I tabbed back into my messenger tab where a friend (depressingly, the same that informed me about Eris' passing before going to that movie) informed me about its death. I broke down crying immediately, even though the last time we interacted was Eris funeral.
Honestly, I really don't know what to say. I never loved anyone as much as I loved it, and I realized that way too late. I mostly just broke down crying later toward the end of our relationship.
A few months later, in january, we randomly texted and it decided to come visit me. We both wondered whether that's a good idea, what the feelings situation between us is and then it arrived. Up at the bridge thing at hamburg central station, on the other side from the McDonalds, we fell into eachothers arms and just hugged for almost a minute. Then we tried to figure out how to get some stuff it needed and get to my place. But yep, we still loved eachother. And a day later our relationship was unstable as ever.
And yet I miss it so, so, so fucking much.
I dont know what to talk about because there's so much. I could keep talkin for hours, fill countless posts far beyond the character limit.
On the 26th of June 2025, it endet its life. A few days later I was informed, along with the rest of the world and just. broke.
I do not have the capacity to say much more, so just have some pictures of one of the most wonderful entities I've ever known (some with me, some random excerpts of our time together. read the alt texts, please).

Honestly, I don't know how to end this. I could say so, so much more about both of them.
I cried a lot while writing this. Probably will go to sleep after posting, so I don't miss the vigil later. Writing this at 04:41, and didn't even post anything yet.
I hope I don't have more people to post about next year.
Good night,
trans rights!
(Sending trans rights as/after a goodnight message is a habit I actually got from poly (indirectly), and I don't intend to ever stop doing it.)

Eris was the most badass and cool person I ever met. She one day just showed up in the hackspace and later that same day we ended up cuddling on the couch. And from that day on we were friends.
She was the most cat catgirl I've ever known, and that sais a lot, from jumping from couch to couch in the hackspace to always wearing her cat ears (and doing DIY research on getting permanent cat ears, including talking to actual like biotech researchers about how to do that), and also just. being really cuddly sometimes.
Idk if i ever told her but I kinda always admired her. And I certainly miss her now. I miss cuddling her, discussing with her about random bullshit even though our opinions clash due to our completely different opinions, kissing her and making out with her, listening to her infodumps and her adorable cat noises, and hell, just looking at her.
One day after Easterhegg 2025, she ended her own life. On the 22. of april 2025.
A few days later, I was informed of her death while visiting the hackspace before going to watch I Saw the TV Glow with a friend, and after the movie ended, we went outside and I broke down in its arms.

So it's that day of the year again. The Transgender Day of Rememberance.
I don't even know how to start this thread.
Since I'll be sending this to a few cis folks (and quite a few non-queer people are following me):
The Transgender Day of Rememberance (TDoR) is the day where the trans community mourns their dead which died to murder in the past year, including suicides.
Why suicides? I couldn't put it better then an article¹ linked on the website sais: "Every Trans Suicide Is A Murder By Those In Power".
