The gifset going around about Tom Holland is fake.
He never said he had a partner with they/them pronouns, and it was captioned because it was a fan request from a Tom Holland fanblog.
Furthermore, doing this to your faves makes them look bad if misinformation spreads around. Celebrities aren’t your goddamn plaything, and they lead real lives. They aren’t just a fucking character. It’s disrespectful.
On Twitter people were doing the same thing to gifs and images of Millie Bobby Brown—an actual literal child—making her say all kinds of negative, nasty, and homophobic shit. People thought this was real, and it was getting so out of hand that people were harassing Millie (a child) on Twitter badly enough that it made her deactivate her Twitter account.
Not only is it disgusting to pretend that celebrities are your playthings—characters for your enjoyment to superimpose whatever ideals you want onto them—but it’s inherently terrible when you’re manipulating their image, careers, and lives.
A childwas harassed on Twitter because of it. Doing things like what was done to a gif set of Tom Holland isn’t harmless. It has repercussions. Quit treating actual real-life people like toys for your enjoyment.
Being trans is not a mental illness/ you don’t need dysphoria to be trans: 12 3 4 567 (this one is massive) 8 (also if you want a living example of a cis person with dysphoria search godflex here on tumblr, careful it’s nsfw)
hi! I’ve been homeless for a while because my family disowned me for being trans. I wish there were a way for me to instantly stop being homeless but right now I don’t see a way out. i stay at an LGBT shelter but there’s a lot that my shelter doesn’t provide for its clients.
I’m still in college so I can’t have a year round job. I can, however, program websites and mobile apps! It’s hard for me to get freelance jobs, however, because I don’t have a degree or experience, even though I’m literally able to do the work.
“Muslims forced to drink alcohol and eat pork in China’s ‘re-education’ camps, former inmate claims ‘The psychological pressure is enormous when you have to criticise yourself, denounce your thinking,’ says detainee”
these are from may 2018.
The majority being discriminated against are called Uyghurs. Khazaks, Uzbeks, and Tajiks are also being ostracized. They are Turkic minorities. They are people. And the world is unaware.
There is an estimated one million people in these so called “re-education camps”. Uyghur people are being forced to assimilate into Chinese culture through marriage. Uyghur children are forced to learn Mandarin and Uyghurqi, the language, is prohibited to be taught in schools. There is a lot of Uyghur unemployment due to ethnic discrimination. Uyghur people are routinely, unjustly imprisoned, and many die. An elderly Uyghur poet was imprisoned. An Uyghur couple my family knows was beaten, and the wife suffered a miscarriage. These are just a few examples of discrimination.
Rebiya Kadeer is fighting for our voices to be heard. She is one of many who was unjustly imprisoned, due to her political activism. She was put on death row and was told to keep quiet or her family would be killed. More than 30 of her relatives have been unjustly detained in the concentration camps. Read her book (Dragon Fighter).
My culture is forcefully being erased. My people are dying. Who is listening? Who can help us?
This is the coming of the second Holocaust. I know that that word cannot be used lightly, which is why I am using it. I hope you all understand the severity of the situation.
Please spread the word. Be aware of this. Tell your friends, your family, anyone who will listen.
Uyghurs can’t reach out for help, but you can on their behalf.
Please.
Anyone saying that they’d have been good people & fought the Nazi politics - this is where you prove it. What you do when faced with these injustices is the same thing you would’ve done back then
