(no subject)
I just read this note by my friend. Its horrific description of violence that was committed against her initiated my sick sick slew of facebook profile updates.
I am mortified and angered that there is no place safe in this world for those who do not conform to the cisgendered and cissexual norms that our society inculcates us with.
I want to ask all of my friends to read this. It vividly describes violence against women and those who are visibly non gender-normative.
After reading this, I want us all to consider what we can do, in our day-to-day lives, to challenges cisnormativity and heteronormativity so that maybe there can be a time and a place where this is an historical piece of trivia rather than a daily fact of life for queer and/or trans folks everywhere.
