(6/7) How precious to be able to be in concrete #solidarity with our trans*siblings across the world, to not think of transness as just a painful experience but to know it as a pleasurable one. How precious now more than ever to be loud, be angry, and shine bright in our love for trans* people #TDOV

(5/7) In her declarations she assets: "In 40 years, when our grandchildren ask us what we did during the #Gaza genocide, during the collapse of the old order, if we gave up or if we put up a fight, how will you answer? I know what I’ll answer. I chose to resist. This is why I am refusing."[3] #TDOV

(4/7) And during this #TDOV how can we not address of the power of trans resistance and allyship? Ella Keidar Greenberg is an 18-years old Israeli trans #activist and anti-occupation organizer facing military prison for refusing to enlist in the Israeli military.

(3/7) #TDOV Porpora Marcasciano, Italian trans activist says: "There’s a famous slogan used in protests that recites ‘a laugh will bury them’; I have always thought of it for a very simple reason: our counterparts, those who would like to annihilate us, prefer to see us hopeless and distressed." [2]

(2/7) #TDOV Alok Vaid-Menon, South-Asian American #transfemme poet says “People look at a life like mine they think it’s a life marked fundamentally by violence and aggression. I want to remind people that the everyday lives that people like me are carving [are] actually pretty awesome."[1]

#TDOV a thread 🧵⬇️ (1/7)
The global political arena is completely inflamed by #transgender issues. But when talking about the experience of transness, the framework almost always is one of fear, danger and death. What happens when we open up the space for pleasure, joy and also, simply, ordinariness?

#Feminist and #QueerOfColor teachings have been saying this for a long time: #pleasure and #anger are radical acts of resistance. We're here to continue strengthening our bonds and fueling our fight for a world where all women and girls can thrive.

#InternationalWomensDay #ForAllWomenAndGirls

Around the globe, neo-fascist movements rise, posing threats to our rights and freedoms. Yet, our history is rich with #resistance. Thirty years ago, the #BeijingDeclaration and Platform for Action set a bold vision for #GenderEquality. Today, we must continue that vision.

In the face of recent threats —the reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule, the horrific policies on #GenderIdentity and #immigration across continents, the
suspension of #USAID funding —we reaffirm our dedication to #SRHR. These actions threaten our autonomy, but they also fuel our determination

On this #InternationalWomensDay we are united in resistance, not caving in to fear or immobility but celebrating our collective power and the radical joy we find in organizing.

In our commitment to advancing #SRHR we are leaving behind the constraints of X. Though we remain critical and vigilant of #BigTech (even of more decentralized networks such as Bluesky) our hope is to find spaces where our voice will soar somehow a little more freer 🐦💗☀️Welcome #Pleasure champions!
