Dear Tumblr Trans and Allies

iambugbrennan:

Some anonymous commenter threatened to kill my children earlier today. Please speak out against this.

Thank you.

Threatening to kill people is wrong. (NB: Telling someone to jump off a cliff or hoping that they die is not nice, but is not a threat.) Going after someone’s children is wrong.

Sending a letter to the UN asking them to curtail the rights of human beings is also wrong. Making paper dolls to mock other people is also wrong. Saying that you support “full rights” for someone while actually fighting for a “compromise” that makes their legal status meaningless and unprotectable is not just wrong, it is dishonest. Lying about what you believe in to get more leverage to work against a group you hate is wrong.

Radical feminists, please speak out against these things.
