Trans women often need to hide in India. We can atleast be our real selves when we talk to each other. Check out our discord server for desi trans and queer folk.

The Chief Minister of Manipur (Where the incident happened) is on record saying we shouldn't focus too much on this case because in the past couple hundreds of cases like this have happened. He also said this why they've banned internet services for the last couple of months

Actual racists aren't that hard to find. Just look for people who start speaking on a topic with "I'm not a racist but..." and 9 times out of 10 you'll find an actual racist.
@AliCologne
@kennedytcooper
Maybe they aren't part of your little hateful community. Being gay doesn't automatically make you a good person, do you realise that?
@fairyfemmes
I'll have to disagree on this. Astrology has absolutely helped in both friendships and romantic interests. If someone is into astrology I know their emotional maturity will be lower than a 14 year old and I shouldn't be taking them seriously.
@rhysglennon
It's not complicated, an easier way to understand it is by having 100 closed doors initially, you choose one and the host opens 98 out of the remaining 99 doors showing no prize there. It becomes more intuitive to see why switching your answer increases chances from 1% to 99%.
@LLBroadwell
Not just the queer community, everyone needs to learn this. An easy way is to see how they treat people who can't talk/fight back like cashiers, waiters, attendants, janitors or anyone else who they feel are 'under' them.
@kashish_5_6
@h_tejas
I think the point is to explain to people that Mughals and Marathas were not mortal enemies like they are made out to be by some revisionists
@ChedEfc
@SloaneFragment
Yes, 'experimental' procedures that we have been only doing for a 100 years now. Do you realise that things don't come into existence only when you learn about them? They might predate your first encounter with the concept?

@sugabelly
The point is Muslim men don't have any desire to call out fellow Muslim men for violating 'sharia', the religious teachings are only relevant when they want to put women or queer people 'in their place'

The biggest increase is among the numbers of bisexual people. Ben might not see why the number of people coming out as bisexual increases with social acceptance but anyone with a functioning brain can.
Aamir Khan made the classic mistake of criticising the 50,000 year old Hindu tradition of bursting fire crackers on public roads everytime the National Cricket team wins a match
@Ranting_Trans
Back in the day when Philosophy Tube was a 'tiny' channel with 20-30K subscribers I looked at pre-transition Abigail and thought 'I'm not trans, I just never had exposure to healthy masculinity, I can totally see myself being a man like this guy'
@Veeren_Jubbal
There is an interesting short story by Munshi Premchand called 'Bhade ka Tattoo' which explores the same idea. The compliant people who fall in line and submit to power are often responsible for the worst atrocities.
@YesWeExistIndia
The abaya ban is not in Isolation. France bans all religious symbols in schools including crucifixes.
Also, the phrasing is super distracting since I can't help but wonder how is Gay Education its own separate ministry in France.
@sarahlbyer
@KatyMontgomerie
The acronym TERF was coined by terfs, not by trans people. Just cause they started feeling ashamed of using it doesn't make it a slur
@Esqueer_
Matt Walsh fan boys getting mad that he called trans people an invention of the nazis because now they have to pretend to think that nazis are the bad guys and that really hurts their feelings would be super funny if it wasn't so disgusting.
@AKfortySlevin
@krassenstein
'I should be able to call people ridiculous, disgusting and gross without the fear of other people calling me ridiculous disgusting or gross'
Yeah, sounds fair if you're a conservative
@HarryJolly8
@sugabelly
None of them are by Muslim men who bring up him being 'unislamic'
No one is calling him a kafir like they did to the pregnant woman
@YesWeExistIndia
Cis women often face cyber bullying with little consequence for the bullies. This one case is not the average cis woman experience in India
This action by the police is a welcome change from their apathetic attitude, probably because of media attention
Rights are not zero sum
@BugsHaveProtein
@PinkWug
Actual LGB people who hold these views are a tiny fraction, there is a tiny fraction of trans people who are fuelling transphobia too. Don't fall into the trap of thinking these bigots are in anyway represent the mainstream views in their communities.
@BenjaminCarollo
It's worse, they think every ally is just pretending to see us as our chosen gender. Reality is a lot of closeted trans people get reverse misgendered. Hope people remember terfs screaming at the topless trans woman at the Whitehouse while ignoring the trans man right beside her
@JeanLucPicorgi
@jessiegender
I feel he is a good role model for healthy masculinity, acknowledging this is necessary if we want to reduce toxic masculinity. Men like Pedro, Keanu Reeves, Brendon Fraser, etc can prevent the next generation of men from turning out like Andrew Tate.

@KatyMontgomerie
Corrective physical punishment? Do you mean beating defenseless children? And if someone tries to stop you from beating your child that is 'grooming' and 'child abuse'?
@sarayupani
A lot of Hindus, at least the ones online will look at this story will glee and enjoy the suffering of an Indian family which did nothing worng. This attitude is why India will never be a superpower and Hinduism cannot be considered 'not as dangerous' as Abrahamic religions
@jamessomertonx
The people wishing harm on you are disgusting.
But I kinda see the point of you never having a platform again and just being a private individual rather than a public figure.
@GNQ__
@KatyMontgomerie
You're an openly anti-queer person. The hate which you stir up doesn't stop at trans people. If you don't know here is your fellow transphobe explaining the concept more clearly.
@Abdurkitabi

@WilfredQuadros1
If only 10 Muslims out of 200 million are allowed to vote and 9 of them vote for Pakistan then it's an absolute lie to claim that 90% of Muslims voted in favour. 9 out of 200 million wouldn't make it 90% and if you don't understand this it's not our job to educate you.
@husnayn_
So basically the political equivalent of bashing your head on the wall till other people feel uncomfortable and agree to whatever you want. This makes it so much better. It wasn't about religion, it was about blackmail.
@RevnaTheRaven
@PinkWug
@dontfollowthey
Be under no illusion. They will get some early victories, they will destroy the lives of as many trans people as possible before they lose. We will win eventually but it'll be tough to protect all trans people who are alive right now.
@Serena_Partrick
@moschinodorito
Yeah, they did actually. Did you think they used go around calling themselves the bad guys and telling people 'you should be evil'?
What Sanghi brains cannot comprehend is the difference between talking about people vs talking about a religion. If they were capable of understanding such distinctions they wouldn't be Sanghis in the first place
@jdgtranen
Anti-Semitism is the biggest danger to the Palestinian cause. Anti-Semities keep trying to infiltrate the movement and it falls on everyone who is vocal about Palestine to kick them out.

I didn't realise I was engaging in elderly abuse when I taught my mom how to do financial transactions digitally, I will try to be more careful in the future

@peacefullypolit
He went on an anti-Muslim rant as he was killing people. Since 2014 almost all public debate in India has had religious undertones, you don't get to be selectively secular when you see the consequences of such mindset.

@KatyMontgomerie
Developing trust with your child is a better way to know what they are struggling with compared to making it legally required for everyone else in their life to snitch on them.
If your child doesn't talk to you that's a you problem.
@imMAK02
We should make a difference between normal interfaith couples and the cases where someone deliberately seeks out a partner who they either fetishize or want to exploit.
The distinction shouldn't be the old 'our boys with their girls are fine but not their boys with our girls'
When a Muslim woman does something wrong, every Muslim man has to be extremely careful and basically either leave her alone or beg her with the sweetest words to maybe reconsider her act or statement if her majesty is willing to do so, otherwise he's "giving Islam a bad image"
@Colossis2
@AidanCTweets
Dude you're literally one of them. Atleast have the self awareness to say how 'other transphobes' will act cause right now you're implying that you aren't responsible for your own actions.
@meethebuns
This! I'm all for better interpretations of Islam but don't tell them to me who is literally an atheist as a way to discredit my experience, preach to the people following the regressive interpretations if, that's where change is actually needed.
@tanl0p
@fairyfemmes
It's similar to how you won't believe in the social intelligence of someone who believes that Santa gets them gifts every Christmas instead of someone secretly placing them there. They might be a nobel laureate but they have no clue how the world, more importantly humans, work.
@LockwoodSFW
This, I keep telling people to not blame the weirdos on the fringes of trans community for the hate. The hate will come no matter how much you try to give in to their demands.

1. When top BJP leaders need medical they still go the 'old' AIIMS
2. Road widening is not considered building
3. The rise of virtual banking is a global trend with many 'Fintech' companies in India being actually owned by China

If they were the kind of parents who accept their child without judgment then the child would probably tell them about this stuff before a teacher. This law is only relevant in cases where the child doesn't want the parents to find out.
@TheOnion
You say that, but there are a bunch of conservatives who will try argue that he was a socialist and a progressive. They still think he is bad but to them bad things about him are stuff like how he became vegan for a while and sometimes paid lip service to workers rights.
@Concreteisland2
@mcashmanCBE
No one is told to be trans, no one is told they are born in the wrong body. What they are told is 'It's okay if you're trans' and apparently that is a redline for you. According to you we must imprison anyone who says that, specially to people under 18.
@WinstonLLL1
@Jarew_OW
You can, as long as the disagreement isn't about gay people's right to exist. You can disagree with gay people on things like which system of government works best, which economic policy works better or which movie is a better work of art.
@eweatherill99
@CaelanConrad
Queer is anyone who isn't cis-het, if someone who falls under this category doesn't want the label they have all the right to shout they aren't queer. For the rest of us we won't fall for your childish divide and conquer attempts.
@Ferdinand641
@TomSyvret
You're not a normal person. Constantly thinking of ways to make the lives of persecuted minorities worse is not normal human behaviour. It's a fringe behaviour present in the worst people among us.
@kevinthebooks
@sacha_coward
Terfs are not 'straight people' a lot of straight people are wonderful. Wishing bad stuff for Terfs is no different than wishing bad for homophobes and racists. These aren't actually identities as much you'd like to make hating trans people your entire personality.
@Cryptic_Miind
Why are we talking about Manipur violence now?
Because when it was happening the BJP government shut down internet access and prevented the victims of violence from telling their stories.
Translation: When people are discriminating against you, that is just discrimination against me, that's not really discrimination against you.
Despite people discrimination against you throughout your life you shouldn't say you're being discriminated against.
@MasalaBai
Good for her! A lot of people ignore the early signs of an abusive person and only realise when the abuser has established control over them. His behaviour was bad enough but the fact that this was her one non-negotiable request makes it so much worse.
@Vegan_Steven3
@Undead_Paragon
Yeah cause a trans person being a suitable candidate should obviously be related to their transness. They can't be good presenters the way cis people are just good presenters. Infact news anchor and trans news anchor are totally different jobs just like pilots and lady pilots.
@eweatherill99
@CaelanConrad
Yes, black people can use the n-word as many times as they want, that's the point. It's not upto non-blacks to decide who else can use the word. For the word queer, its queer people who get to decide who else can use.
@shivanshfcbm
Hate against Brahmins: People make some jokes on twitter
Hate against oppressed castes: Get them fired from companies, getting their addmissions cancelled, actual physical violence and even murder.
You will never have to face something of this sort
@Shrihari1610
@iamrana
Adaab is a secular greeting in Urdu, it was prevalent in Pre-British India in order to not force Hindus to say Salam, which is the traditional Muslim greeting. Adaab is as Muslim as Poetry, Literature or Biryani.
This same dude will cry when Hindutva goons behave in exactly way with Indian Muslims. Part of the BJP success is due to the acceptance of bigotry and violence among Indian Muslims.
@vsengupta
@iamrana
Historically governments built massive projects and founded new cities to make the names of thier choise live on in popular imagination.
BJP gives names but conveniently leaves out the part where they are supposed to build stuff.
