What happened to Nex Benedict hits home. I’m indigenous (enough for it to be notable, at least). I’m transmasc (I’m aware they were two-spirit and nonbinary also). I’m in high school. I use the girl’s bathroom.
From my own experience, using women’s/girl’s bathrooms as a transmasc is for safety reasons. They used that bathroom because it felt safer. And they were brutally murdered anyway.
The more I think about them, the more I realize that I could be murdered like that too. The more I think about it, the more I dread that the wrong person could see those headlines, think of me, and do the same thing. They could do that to my trans and nonbinary friends.
There is no such thing as a trans kid feeling safe. There’s a reason our suicide rates are so high.

Today's opinion that'll get me burned at the stake is...
False Allegations aren't the huge problem that anti-feminists make it out to be.
It's a fucked up thing to do, and it makes it harder for real survivors to come forward, but the truth is even if we lived in a world where not a single person on this earth was shitty enough to lie about something that serious and the only people that ever made allegations were ACTUAL survivors, shitheads would bend their logic and deny evidence to "prove" that the abuser is innocent. Even then only 3% of allegations are proven false and a large portion of those aren't proven false by actual evidence they're proven false by people saying they lied out of pressure. Also, check statistics on how many allegations are proven false only for new evidence to show up a couple of years later proving them true, similar to what happened in the film "Unbelievable".
Now on to the part that is REALLY gonna get me burned at the stake. The whole "false allegations ruin lives" narrative is partially bullshit. Cause maybe they ruin lives while people still believe that they are true but once 70% of the internet is convinced you are innocent, people will justify every shitty action you make. Case and point Melanie Martinez.
Do nothing while your fan base bullies a smaller artist over a misunderstanding so dumb it makes me lose faith in human intelligence? Leah had it coming!
Have another accuser? They're probably a liar too!
Support AI art which puts artists out of a job? Let her be!
Sell NFTs and then paint them as good when it has been confirmed by professionals that there is no such thing as an environmentally friendly NFT? Leave her alone, people don't trust her because of Timothy!
Let her fan base spread transphobic and transmed rhetoric because her accuser identifies as trans, when trans people are at the face of a genocide? Omg y'all are chronically online?
Turn BLM into an aesthetic? At least she cares!!!!
Take a group of friends on a trip to Hawaii when Native Hawaiians were experiencing displacement and begging people not to go? It's not that big of a deal!
Melanie could kill baby Jesus and people would defend her, and it's all thanks to Timothy! And the shitty part is that a lot of these actions have real consequences that won't affect her, so if people are letting her get away with it, why should she change? There are plenty of other names I could think of right now but I've dug my grave enough.

Y'know nobody in their right mind likes the gun culture in the west, especially in America
But I'm gonna offer a crazy idea and say maybe the solution to fascist gun violence is not handing over all your guns to fascists
As much as it sucks the only solution is to arm yourself and fight back. Your only other options are to assume the militarized police force will help you (nope) Or to hope your fascist government will suddenly start punishing fascists. (HAHAHA)
And if I see one more person call this reality 'reactionary' I'm just going to assume they're that guy who brings a knife to a gunfight because of 'principle' and die immediately.
Anyway organize and defend your community. We keep us safe.

The word needs to spread. They are taking away human rights all across America. They took women's bodily autonomy. A 10 year old child was R*PED BY A FAMILY MEMBER and was DENIED ABORTION IN OHIO. They had to be sent out of state to get an abortion, but pretty soon,, there will be laws in place to make that unlawful. MEN ARE ASSAULTING WOMEN and TELLING THEM that they CAN'T WAIT FOR THEM TO HAVE THEIR CHILDREN. They are allowing R*PISTS visitation rights, they are taking away indigenous people's right to govern themselves, and they are TELLING US what they will be attacking next; Lgbtq+, and our RIGHT TO VOTE. Now isn't the time to stay silent. Get EDUCATED. Pay ATTENTION. And recognize that right now? Is not the time to stay silent.
Thank you.

America is attacking trans people, but they are also attacking indigenous people. They don’t want people to know that we are still alive, and we still carry our culture. Say Nex Benedict’s name, and say it loud. But not just because they were trans. But because they were Two Spirited aswell. Native Americans are perhaps some of the most widely ignored, forgotten, and hated POC community in America, and it’s unfair because this was our land until you forced us out of our homes and into small camps. Please, support local POC communities. Buy from Indigenous owned businesses. And don’t let anyone forget about Nex Benedict.

Joel Jackson, the president of the Organized Village of Kake, a tribal community, has lived within the Tongass National Forest in Alaska his entire life. His community relies on the land for hunting deer and fishing salmon that swim in streams kept cold by the old-growth forest.
But the 66-year-old worried about damage to that land - the largest national forest in the US - after former President Donald Trump rescinded a measure blocking logging and road-building on nine million acres of land in the Tongass in 2020.
"The forest is key to our survival as a people, to our way of life … for thousands of years," Mr Jackson said.
Last week marked a long-awaited victory for Mr Jackson and other tribes and environmental groups who petitioned the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) to reinstate the protections for the forest.
The agency announced last Wednesday it would once again ban logging and the construction of roads for cutting timber in over half of the Tongass.
