If they never asked for your side of the story then the side that they heard is exactly how they feel about you. Never explain yourself to people who are already dedicated to misunderstanding you.

If you're a content creator or influencer who claims to be a trans ally, RIGHT NOW more than ever you have a responsibility to make sure your community knows it. You must use your influence, and loudly. Posting "trans rights are human rights" one time is not enough. Share info, raise funds, be mad.

You do not have to consume every single tiny piece of bad news in order to be a good person. It’s ok to miss things. Traumatizing yourself isn’t the same as activism. Bearing witness to the point that you’re paralyzed with fear and horror and fury isn’t going to help us get through this.

Remember their goal is to terrorize us. And social media is a fantastic way to spread terror. We don’t have to help them.

its going to be more important than ever to orient yourselves towards positive things, bad things exist and they're out there--- BUT if you have your focus on just countering the bad stuff you're going to still be orbiting the horrid & horrible focus instead on whats positive & sustainable 🌱
