Belkis, the mother of Tortuguita, is honoring her child that was murdered by police last year by building a mental health sanctuary. She needs funds for construction and land.

The Mansfield News, Ohio, November 5, 1914

Sorry, political rant.

I agree with not voting for either of the two main presidential options. but if we are going to vote someone else in, everyone needs to agree with who- Markiplier? great. Bo Burnham? love it. John Mulaney? sure, why not. But everyone needs to agree to put one person down, so that it actually counts.

Also, an amendment needs to be pushed through declaring a maximum age for presidency. like a minimum of 35, maximum of 60. people just wouldn't go for it because they don't have americas best interest in mind and thats sad.

if not a maximum, then potential presidents need to go through a sort of sanity test to make sure they are of sane mind. why are men that are literally out of their goddamned minds running???

asking my parents, the only good thing about trump was that groceries weren't so expensive. but thats not the presidents fault, its the 1%, and any bills, laws, whatever need to pass through them to be accepted.

it's not just the president thats screwing this nation over one day at a time, its everyone in power. vote not just in the presidential campaign but for local problems, for state wide problems.

people in the senate and house of representatives dont have our best interests at heart? fucking change it.

assassinations need to come back istg

Am I the only one who doenst like it whenever people say stuff like "The comments on this post are gonna be the worst" on a post about like a trans person or something I'm not trans myself but I feel like its like a self fulfiling prophecy like why would you will it into existence.

IMPORTANT!!!!

What is happening as of now is not war, this is genocide, and we must act for those in power who will not.

If you can, please donate to the following causes, if you can't donate, please signalboost!!! Come on folks!!

From river to sea, Palestine will be free.

You just realized

The reason why Democrats always win the elections is by the fact that the schools in America was teaching kids that Republicans are evil by so many bad history facts behind the Republicans instead of showing the benefits of what they had done that the Democrats took away. If I'm incorrect just feel free to add in your opinion.

What an embarassing week to be italian. France and the UK really showed us how it's done. Proud of y'all

Rafah Masterpost

Fuck the state supreme court, fuck the supreme court, fuck the entire government for having absolutely no regard about any citizens health. Where are all those politicians saying Wisconsin was important, why the hell are none of you talking about us now, huh? Why the fuck am I and thousands of other Wisconsin voters now supposed to go outside during A GLOBAL PANDEMIC to stand in line for hours risking our health? Is it because you assholes were afraid of loosing? Get fucked all of you.

Everyone is talking about John Fetterman wearing a formal suit for Netanyahu’s genocide apologia but Rashida Tlaib is actually the only one wearing an acceptable outfit to the speech.

We the People

So, this may seem kinda silly, but I made this little guy in commemoration (that really isn’t the right word is it) of today. I don’t super like spreading my political views on the internet for fear of backlash, but I don’t think I can keep quiet anymore. Net Neutrality was voted down, which is a bummer. What I think is worse still is that the voices of “the people” just aren’t being listened too. The battle certainly isn’t over yet though, so let’s not give up hope! Fight fight fight against it!

Anyways, I know it’s nothing grand or fancy-- but it means something to me, and I think that’s what is most important. Creating art is the my only outlet so this was the poster I made to express my feelings.  Feel free to spread it around if you feel the same way.

Ohio Anti-Trans Laws (and what you can do about it!)

AND WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!

Please educate yourself on the contents of Ohio House Bill 68 and other related Ohio Anti-Trans laws before giving into propaganda from either side. At first, I gave in to the propaganda without reading the bill itself; people told me the most outrageous and outlandish stuff. I've heard that it would: make people who have already medically transitioned de-transition, and just a lot of misinformation. These are not related to the bill, rather some other recent Ohio laws that will be detailed later.

I read the entirety of the bill, and, if I'm not mistaken, in summary, it will effectively do the following:

1. Not allow gender-affirming care to be legally given to minors in the state of Ohio, including puberty blockers and gender affirming therapy(continued care is allowed, but only if it was already started or the person is intersex)

2. Children in schools must stay in sports leagues of their biological sex.

The bill has some potentially redeeming ideas few and far between, but for a bill like this to be useful, they need to take into consideration the age of the child, mental health status, current hormone levels, and many more things that they do not have in the bill.

(Example for #1: The bill says that no minors will be able to get gender-affirming care or puberty blockers, with the reasoning that most minors “change their mind” about being trans as they get older. This statistic is factual but does not take into consideration specific ages, as it takes into account everyone under the age of 18. Teens, for example, especially the older that they are, are highly likely to “remain trans”, while people ages 0-12 are not, as they don't understand gender and sex, and may claim to not identify as their birth sex, not realizing fully what it means.

Example for #2: It may seem logical to vote for this because it keeps males claiming to be females from just saying that they are female and beating all the competition because of their biological advantages. However, it also excludes, for example, the trans girl who has been on hormones for 7 years and now has the same levels of testosterone an average cis girl or lower has, giving her no biological advantage. It does not consider that young children are nearly identical biologically. It also forces people with female on their birth certificates to stay in female leagues, despite them not having any biological advantage, which is the only reasoning given for this section, so it is very apparent this bill is directly targeting trans people for no reason other than hate. If the terms were very specific as to hormone levels and ages, such as what I have outlined, I could understand why people would vote for it.) Simply put, in its current state, House Bill 68 is not specific enough to do more good for the cis community than harm it will do to the trans community.

In addition to this giant bill being passed and taking effect on February 15th, Ohio governor Mike DeWine signed an executive bill on January 5th, preventing any transgender surgeries for anyone under the age of 18, no exceptions, taking effect immediately. He also proposed a series of outlines for more Anti-Trans laws to come soon. He wants to force transgender people to “out” themselves to the government so they can keep detailed information on trans people for further study. No thanks. He also made a series of declarations of how he wanted it to be MUCH more difficult for *adults* to get gender-affirming care as well, requiring them to see a bioethicist before medically transitioning. How many bioethicist do you know? None? Well, that's because they're incredibly rare. There’s two offices in Cleveland, one at Ohio State, and ZERO anywhere else in Ohio, so it would be next to impossible to start or continue medically transitioning, even as an adult.

We MUST oppose House Bill 68 and encourage others to join us or it has the potential to snowball into a series of anti-trans laws in Ohio and across the country, or perhaps even a genocide (if you study the ten stages of genocide, trans people would be on stage 5 or 6, halfway or more there if this bill and DeWine’s proposals passed.)

I don't typically make it an issue of mine to pursue political activism or politics in general, but this law will directly impact many people I hold dear, with some even already making plans to leave Ohio, while being decided by people it does not impact at all.

House Bill 68 and similar laws are available for public comment until Feb 5th so anything to oppose it has to be done NOW before it is too late. We must inform the government that we the people do not approve of the bill, and why it is objectionable. This is similar to a case in Arkansas that was nullified because the bill could be seen as an offense against the 14th Amendment, under the Equal Protections clause, so hopefully the same thing will also happen to the situation here.

Some things you can do:

1. Directly contact the governor's office (About the executive order and his proposals for bioethicists to be involved in the transition process) https://governor.ohio.gov/contact

2. Leave a message for the governor: [(614) 644-4357]

3. Send a message to Ohio senators through the American Civil Liberties Union https://action.aclu.org/send-message/tell-ohio-senators-stop-hb-68-veto-override

4. Email the Ohio Department of Health (ODHrules@odh.ohio.gov)

5. Email the Department of Mental Health and Addiction services (MH-SOT-rules@mha.ohio.gov), with “Comments on Gender Transition Care Rules” in the subject. These rules are about making sure trans people with mental health issues do not have access to gender affirming help.

6. Fill out this form of the Ohio Department of Health https://odh.ohio.gov/about-us/offices-bureaus-and-departments/ogc/resources/feedback-survey putting “rules 3701-3-17, 3701-59-07, 3701-83-61” in the field and explain some of the following: how you don't think Ohio should force medical professionals and therapists to keep detailed information on all trans patients about gender “incongruencies” with the patient’s birth sex (rule 3701-3-17), explain how trans people shouldn't have ludicrous restrictions on medically transitioning, (like making them go to a bioethicist to even start/continue hormones on an ADULT, much less surgery) anyone under 21 must additionally undergo mental-health screening before accessing care (with the implication that if you are mentally unwell in any form you will not receive care, and many trans people already have depression/anxiety stemming from how society views and treats them) (rule 3701-59-07 and 3701-83-61)

7. Stay updated to the current status of this bill, the executive order, and efforts against them. For more information, click here https://jessk.org/blog/things-you-can-do-right-now-for-ohio

Thanks for sticking up for peoples' rights, and have a nice day ;)

TLDR: Ohio House Bill 68 bans all gender affirming healthcare for minors, including therapy, and trans people aren't allowed to participate in sports.

A series of other Anti-Trans laws, along with an executive order from the Ohio governor plan to make medically transitioning or getting gender affirming therapy, even continued services, impossible in Ohio for adults, as well as creating a detailed registry on anyone that is identified as trans.

If you think my skirt’s too short you should see my fucking temper.

How fucked up can one be? I just read a news article about a man in Arizona trying to set up an estate for his ex-wife's aborted fetus--a procedure performed three years ago. In addition to this he filed a suit against the clinic who performed the abortion claiming they didn't provide disclosures on the risks of an abortion. (This is something she has denied).

The overturning of Roe v. Wade is a domino effect and there is nothing "pro-life" about any of this--it has and will be a tool to control women.

End rant. Please vote and contact legislators--here is a link with updated laws in the states
