trying to prove a point to my dad.
i love seeing the boosting of bail funds for protesters that are going around right now. i wanted to share a list of (US) community bail funds that are always in need of donations and support. please consider making small, regular donations to a bail fund local to you in order to support your community fight an unjust, corrupt legal system. and please share!
(full directory is here and i’ve specified whether the fund is for pre-trial or immigration services, if the name of the fund doesn’t already do that!)

Also, don't say "A transgender." Instead, say "Transgender" or "A transgender PERSON"
It’s trans, not trans*
It’s trans men and trans women, not transmen and transwomen—trans is an adjective that answers “what kind of men/women"—cis works the same way
Never call trans men FTMs or trans women MTFs without their permission
Trans is short for transgender, it’s not plural for anything—trans person and trans people are both correct
Never use “born in the wrong body” or “used to be a boy and became a girl” or “biologically/genetically male/female”—all are just fancy ways to misgender someone (self identification with these phrases is different)
Transgendered is wrong, so is “a transgender” and “transgenders”
Being trans is not a sexuality nor is it a “sexual disorder” or any kind of disorder at all—gender identity disorder is not a real thing, and being trans isn’t a medical condition
“Transsexual” is generally considered an offensive term and should never be used to describe someone without their permission
Don’t refer to a trans person’s gender as their gender identity, it’s just their gender
Similarly don’t refer to their pronouns as “preferred pronouns"—they’re not preferred, they’re mandatory
found these screenshots and realized i forgot to ever post them lmao oops
transcript: two tweets from twitter user Sascha🐀 commissions open @/confusedophan
“the whole point of being nonbinary is using they pronouns!” “the whole point of being nonbinary is to be androgynous!” you fools. the “whole point” of being nonbinary is to be yourself, a person that can’t be put in binary boxes. why do you want to push people into a third box??
nonbinary people can use any pronouns. nonbinary ppl can look like anything. nonbinary people can wear whatever they want. we can be masc, femme, androgynous, whatever feels comfortable. no boxes, no checklist. just our authentic selves.
