Happy International Lesbian Day ❤️🤍🩷
You all know at least one lesbian, whether we like it or not 😁

Scene from the Simpsons. Everyone looking at Bart. Text reads Say the line, homophobe
Bart is replaced with a pic of JKRowling and a screenshot from her twitter feed reads
"I have lesbian friends "
Everyone in the class celebrated

They don’t understand that a stance against genocide is not transactional in nature

The thing is that even if there weren't queer Palestinians in Gaza who are being killed by the IDF, even if every single individual Palestinian were a raging homophobe or transphobe (they aren't), it still wouldn't be okay to murder them with explosives.

She’s not wrong as Israel would exterminate them just as Israel exterminates everyone.

It’s the same stupid argument for the past decade. These people think that Queer Palestinians don’t exist, that they’re not also being starved to death and bombed from the skies by that genocidal state.

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!
