Hot take that really should be lukewarm at best: LGBTQIA+ people out there denying #ACAB need to learn where their rights came from. Stonewall riots were a watershed moment for queer rights in the west, and Stonewall was a riot against police brutality of Queer people 1/?
And an overwhelming majority of that brutality was against black trans women and other black queer people. A black non-binary famously started the riots, putting her life on the line for your white ass, and the result of that brick is your right to be legally recognised
So if the thank you you have for the black queer people who have championed your rights for 50+ years is “well police protect people” then you can fucking yeet yourself from my TL: police only defend us because we fought them and won. Now our black siblings need that same energy
And they only protect white queer people: Queer BIPOC - especially black trans women- are overwhelmingly over represented as the victims of police violence, and all other forms of violence. Black trans women have a life expectancy of 39 in the USA
Use your fucking body as a shield with the same vigor that you use to shout down #ACAB or shut up you POS
I got angry and forgot to count but this is the end of what I have to say #BlackLivesMatter #BlackTransLivesMatter #ACAB always
