The other night, at the monthly goth event The Church, a friend of mine had her drink spiked. I’m not naming names, because I don’t know if she wants people to know who she is. But she wants people to know.
So, people, it’s time to revisit drink safety 101.
NEVER leave your drink alone.
NEVER…
“Here’s the thing about the 1970s British and American punk scenes: they were every bit as misogynistic and race-exclusive as the society they claimed to stand counter to. And Styrene didn’t look the part of a punk — at the time, she was a mixed-race not-skinny avowed-feminist teenager with braces and day-glo old lady clothes, who later struggled with mental health issues. But Styrene embraced her role as punk’s conscience, both as critic and role model; she screamed down consumerism and magazine culture both inside and outside the scene, with a bullying shriek still heard in singers like latter-day feminist icon Kathleen Hanna.”

It sucks I only learn about her now that she’s died. The punk scene has done its part to erase women in rock.

“Being a feminist doesn’t mean suddenly no longer liking problematic things. If you stopped liking everything that was sexist in media and entertainment there would be no media or entertainment left. Being a feminist, to me, is being aware of what it is you’re liking, and of its problematic aspects.”

To all the cis people who wonder why trans people are so angry, and cautious about being their friend. To the cis people who ask why we can’t just “all get along” and why we do things that make us “lose potential allies.” This is not an isolated incident, this is a fucking reality for all trans people. This is transphobia in action, and cis people just stare and take pictures. There are fucking reasons to hate cis people.
edit: This video is NOT an excuse for racist remarks, this is NOT a “hate crime” against white people, this is an attack against trans people.
