Tumblr media
the following is the description from the gofundme page:
I, the wife of Ramsey Orta, am a survivor of domestic violence by Ramsey Orta during the Black Lives Matter movement. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Jessica (Hollie) Orta, but I am known by Bella Eiko for live streaming the Occupy Oakland and Ferguson movements. 
Over the last few years I have spoken out about my relationship, and marriage, to Ramsey prior to his incarceration. Ramsey physically, mentally, emotionally abused and financially extorted my son and I as I tried to position myself to organize support for him during his incarceration. After I drove to Las Vegas to avoid any further attacks from him, he used the money given to him by the movement to chase me down to Las Vegas and terrorize myself, my son and my then 82 year old Great Aunt. He often threatened me with gang violence and gave my address to people who wanted to harm me as punishment for not staying to endure more of his abuses while supporting him as he negotiated a lesser prison sentence. 
In one of our altercations Ramsey physically attacked me by choking me and kidnapping my son for ransom money. You can imagine my shock because of him filming Eric Garner being murdered in the same way. The night before that attack, Ramsey verbally harassed me for not being able to hold in my urination after driving around for over half an hour looking for parking and then walking blocks trying to reach the apartment on Baruch in record breaking cold. These are only a few of the situations I have dealt with during our marriage. 
I am asking that the movement that has been supporting Ramsey Orta to hold him, and those who knowingly shielded him from any repercussions for his actions, accountable for his domestic actions towards Black Women. I would also like to be able to go through a divorce process without him abruptly being able to stop it. In November of 2019, he backed away from the divorce proceedings, having his attorney tell me that he would be in touch, after I responded that I would want his assistance for long term therapy for my son and I after being exposed to his violence. Help in this area is greatly appreciated as it is more expensive than I can afford as a single mother. 
I also would like the movements, Black Lives Matter, Occupy Oakland, Hands Up Don't Shoot & I Can't Breathe, to take action in keeping my son and I safe. I have had to move away from the city far from my friends and family because I feel I am in danger if I were ever to return, especially with him now having access to his welcome home fund, coupled with the blind support of many Black Lives Matter supporters. 
I have been an organizer and given my life to this movement as a Black Woman, and this movement has only stood against me in support of Ramsey Orta. I am asking that this movement consider how it will move forward if it continues to silence Black Women  and overlook the bad action of their heroes. The plausible alternatives for police in handling these kinds of situations moving forward are conversations that I’ve been trying to have for years.
I am not asking for police involvement. If I wanted to handle this with the police, I would have pressed charges on Ramsey but I am adamantly against the continuation of the prison industrial complex. I strongly believe in police abolition but we cannot continue to build a movement in which black women and black children continue to be targets of misogyny in their households. You cannot continue to praise someone for a single action, when they've attacked and perpetrated violence towards the most vulnerable people in your community. In order to talk about police abolition we must also talk about the future we wish to replace it with. We will not be able to accomplish that safe future if we don't hold accountable the actions of individuals that resemble those of the same patriarchal system. 
With love & All Power to the People, 
Bella Eiko”

Children are a gift for people who want and equipped for them. Not everyone is which is fine and saying ‘well you got pregnant so you have to have them’ isn’t going to change those two things. It’s also not fair to blame someone and attempt to force them or shame them into changing their body and psychological state if they somehow end up pregnant without intending to be (my nephew’s mother found out she was pregnant at her appointment to get her birth control insert changed - shit happens).
If something is growing inside your body and you want it out, that’s your right. Especially at the point in pregnancy which most abortions are performed - and most if not all late term abortions are performed when the child would not be viable or viable without a great deal of pain with a likely short life or if the parent’s life is in danger. I personally believe if it cannot survive without being attached to a person’s body then it is considered apart of them and they have every right to decide how to take care of it, if that means abortion that is their right.
Also, let’s not pretend that more people wouldn’t die if abortions were illegal. You’d just be losing the fetus and the pregnant person because they’d be done with half-baked home methods or in unsterilized, unsafe environments by scared desperate people. You’d lose far more people to suicide since many would see no other options. If you advocate for abortion to be illegal knowing this then you aren’t siding with life, you’re siding with birth because the pregnant person is a human life too.
The abortion debate isn’t complicated at all. Is it your body? Are you a medical professional consulting with a human being that is pregnant on their options? No? Then it’s absolutely none of your business unless that pregnant person decides to ask for your opinion.

Yeah uhhh that’s the bare minimum... I’m not gonna praise someone for not taking advantage of their significant other (or anyone) being drunk and making sure they get to bed safe.
I think we as a generation need to stop being impressed by basic shit in relationships.

getting death threats for asking for help
Hello. I’m Rab, local queer, trans, disabled artist. I’m looking for work, I’m trying my hardest. I just had a month from literal hell with almost losing my housing, losing a pet, suffering from a concussion. I’m trying my best but it’s not cutting it. I’m in the negatives, and I need to pay rent. It was due 4 days ago, and if I don’t pay by tomorrow I’ll have another $75 to pay I can’t afford.
Tumblr media
I don’t know when I’ll eat next, let alone if I’ll make rent. Just asking for help prompted someone to send me death threats and images of gore that made me close anon questions and my submit box.
PLEASE help me if you can, please spread the word.

No comment on whatever Trish is doing, but oof. You don’t need dysphoria to be trans.
There are plenty of trans people that don’t physically transition and don’t intend to for whatever reason and it’s literally no one’s damn business besides their own.
There are also plenty of people that realize they are trans via gender euphoria rather than gender dysphoria. There are plenty of people that realize that being trans is a thing and are like ‘oh shit, that’s what I experience’. The trans experience does not have to consist of self hatred.
Tumblr media
I'm going to say this again and again and again until she takes that flag off her fucking account.
If she'd only dress up like that for Halloween, Drag Shows or Cosplay, I'd have no problem but she genuinely said she doesn't want to transition.
PEOPLE PLEASE USE YOUR BRAIN.

Anyways asexuals, aromantics, and aroace people ARE apart of the LGBT+ community sweaty. Thanks for trying.
Understand that certain spaces are not meant for you and act accordingly. I don’t know if it was the alienation experienced in high school or what, but you are not owed anything in spaces built by and for specific groups. Especially when it is obvious that it is not the actual humanity of said group you are interested in, but rather in making sure you aren’t left out, again.

Why? It’s a service that’s great for people without easy access to other forms of transportation and more fairly priced and reliable than cabs - though obviously Uber and Lyft drivers should be paid more by the company for their services. If someone needs the transportation, how does that make them the problem?
We are multiple generations now with no experience with strikes, and I see a lot of confused, well meaning people who want to help but don’t know strike etiquette.
1. Never cross a picket line of striking workers.
2. Never purchase or take free goods from a company who’s workers are striking
3. Honk to support strikers if you drive by a picket line.
4. Join strikers on the picket line even if it’s not your strike, but follow their directions and defer to them while there.
5. Say “that’s great, the strike is working, the company should negotiate with their workers” whenever someone complains about profits lost, inconveniences or other worker-phobic rhetoric. Always turn it back on the company, who has all the power and money.

Like I said to the other person, they aren’t the only lesbian I’ve talked about this with. You aren’t the only gay person I’ve talked about this with. And they don’t share your opinion. I’ve talked to people for your community that are absolutely fine with the inclusion of trans men in the gay community.
I can understand your side and the big thing I’m saying is that I’m not trying to force any gay or lesbian person to have sex with anyone they don’t want to. My main argument literally has nothing to do with cis lesbians and gays. It has nothing to do with how you guys feel towards trans people.
Trans women and trans men aren’t only women and men respectively until it’s uncomfortable for you to think of them as such.
My argument isn’t “gay men have to date and have sex with trans men.” I don’t care what you do with your bodies, it’s not my business, it’s not my place. My argument is that regarding someone who identifies as a woman as a man is shitty and transphobic.
My argument is that a trans woman who likes only women is a lesbian because calling her heterosexual is ignoring her identity and treating her as a man. Whether she transitions or not, this is true and it’s not okay. It’s not any better than repeatedly referring to them by the wrong pronouns or wrong name and then going “well biologically-“
Lesbians don’t have to have date only lesbians. They can date bisexuals and pansexuals too. Same goes for gay men. No one is saying that just because a trans woman is a lesbian that someone else from the lesbian community has to date her.

“wow all these lesbians are so cute and nice and i can’t stop thinking about them! 🤔 …i guess i just think they’re neat!”

Past I didn’t talk about people having sex until other people started talking about people having sex.
A lesbian can use a strap on too if she wants?? My point was that sex between a trans male and cis male isn’t innately PIV sex. That’s literally my entire point on that.
MY OTHER POINT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU’RE SAYING WHICH IS THAT GENITALS DONT MATTER, THE SEX ACT DOESNT MATTER ITS THE PERSON AND IF THE PERSON IS SOMEONE WHO IDENTIFIES AS A WOMAN AND LIKES OTHER WOMEN SOLELY THAT SHE IS A LESBIAN.
My entire argument has NOTHING to do with cis lesbians. I don’t care if they want to date, have sex with, or whatever with trans lesbians. They don’t have to if they don’t want to. No one is forcing them to. They can just not if they don’t want to and you want to know how many fucks I’ll give - 0. Zero fucks. Because it’s not about whether they date or fuck trans women. It really isn’t. I don’t care what a lesbian chooses to do with her body, it’s not my damn business.
My point is that a trans woman who is solely attracted to women is a lesbian. THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO DATE OR HAVE SEX WITH HER. She can only control herself and pursue relationships the way she chooses - some will do it shittily and some won’t because they’re people and not everyone is a good person no matter what their gender and/or sexuality is.
A woman who likes other women hearing “oh yeah I acknowledge you as another women...except when I don’t” is shitty. Either she is a woman and you treat her as such or you don’t and you’re a transphobe. There is no in between. However, just like every woman in the planet, you aren’t forced to be with her just because she is a woman.
My argument is literally “don’t be a transphobe and call trans women men and treat them as men. That’s shitty and transphobic.” There we go. There is my argument.
Lesbians can do what they want with their own bodies. I am not telling them they have to have any kind of physical or romantic relationship with a trans lesbian. I’m just saying that a trans woman’s right to be a woman isn’t decided by them, she doesn’t stop being a woman when it’s inconvenient to them. And if a trans woman does try to push herself on them after they say no THAT MAKES THEM A SHITTY INDIVIDUAL, it doesn’t make trans lesbians shitty as a whole.
