@Willow@chaosfem.twHi cis people! It’s Trans Day Of Visibility, or TDOV for short, and today, I’d like my words to be visible.
Please read these short essays:
This one is about how to be an ally: https://chaosfem.tw/@Willow/113856069628799346
This one is about the trans experience: https://chaosfem.tw/@Willow/113953311228200046
This one is about the importance of letting trans people tell our own stories in our own words: https://chaosfem.tw/@Willow/114224840479779049
Please boost them. Please write short posts linking here and to other trans people’s writings, encouraging your friends to read what we have to say. Sharing the words of trans people is how you help us be seen. It’s how you help stop the genocide against us. Please help, while we are still here to appreciate it.
Please remember, more trans people will be born. They’ll be your children and grandchildren. They’ll learn our history. And they’ll learn what you did or didn’t do, when we needed you.
Love, Willow
@WillowMore #trans people will be born. They’ll be your children and grandchildren. They’ll learn our history. And they’ll learn what you did or didn’t do, when we needed you.
(Excerpt from the above post.)
@Willow(We have an excerpt because I’m feeling spicy about it on TDOV.)
@WillowOkay, so after about five hours, I’ve had a few folks interacting with the ally essay (YAY!), and absolutely nothing on the other two <confused face>.
Just as a matter of post structure and formatting and how I lay out content, any ideas what’s up with that? Do your fedi clients preview the first link and not the others? Is it that folks really just want instructions, and the few people who are interested in my thoughts on transness and trans voices have already read that material? Is it that people just get to the first link and follow it, and don’t read any further?
@WillowThis one is about the trans experience: https://chaosfem.tw/@Willow/113953311228200046
(Posted separately for your fedi clients to preview it.)
@Specialist_Being_677@hachyderm.io@Willow ah yeah I only get one preview per post, that's probably part of it
@Willow Yeah, only the first link gets blown up into an easy click-target.
@cadigwiddon@Willow I'm planning on giving it my full attention when I get home
@Crow@pagan.plus@Willow the fash will try their best to silence that history--they already have before, and are doing so again --but history is a science like any other. The truth will out.
