I was reading a book (about interjections, oddly enough) yesterday which included the phrase “In these days of political correctness…” talking about no longer making jokes that denigrated people for their culture or for the colour of their skin. And I thought, “That’s not actually anything to do with ‘political correctness’. That’s just treating other people with respect.”

Which made me oddly happy. I started imagining a world in which we replaced the phrase “politically correct” wherever we could with “treating other people with respect”, and it made me smile. 

You should try it. It’s peculiarly enlightening.

I know what you’re thinking now. You’re thinking “Oh my god, that’s treating other people with respect gone mad!”

Happy Valentine’s Day.

Oklahoma state senator Tom Woods referring to queer ppl saying “we don’t want that filth in Oklahoma”, days after news broke of the murder of nonbinary teenager Nex Benedict, is fucking evil. This is the shit that directly leads to people fucking murdering us. I truly cannot express how vile this man is. Same goes for the superintendent of schools, Ryan Walters, who had the audacity to say that “there’s not multiple genders. There’s two. That’s how God created us”, also within days of Nex’s murder being made public. Our deaths mean nothing to them. They cannot even pretend to mourn us without adding that they see us as less than human.

Following a tragic and horrifying hate crime, politicians on the left are voicing their support and compassion for the people and the community affected by this awful loss

While politicians on the right are insulting, misgendering and dead-naming the murdered child

Anyone who claims that "Voting doesn't matter" because "Both sides are just as bad as each other" is a fucking idiot

i hope what people take away from nex benedict's brutal murder is that transphobia affects all trans people, which heavily includes nonbinary people and especially non binary people of color. while people argue over whether or not nonbinary people are trans, we are being targeted by cishets. we are actively being targeted by transphobia. we are in danger of trans panic. we are still trans, and we need our binary trans siblings to stand beside us.

rest in power nex. you deserved better. please fight like hell for them. please fight like hell for the safety of trans folk in Oklahoma. please fight like hell for all nonbinary people. we are trans. we are your siblings, too.

you can help support queer folk living in oklahoma by supporting Freedom Oklahoma, a native-based organization for trans & queer rights in Nex's home state:
