I knew the RNZ story was a poorly written piece of propaganda product placed by an anti-trans group, but reading this made it clear that it was FAR worse
People have been calling for the "journalist" to resign, but the abhorrent and multiple failures should see multiple people removed for good

People will tell you that they view property destruction as equivalent to violence against a person, but that's not true. They think property destruction is worse

Had time to take this in now, and it seems from some of the things Alex has said that his parents were abusive as well as transphobic - there is some super controlling shit in there. A lot of people in a lot of news organisations need to think about how they just accepted the parents' narrative.

Stop conflating being transgender with being sick
This week, RNZ reported on a tragic death. In the process it perpetuated many harmful messages about young trans people.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Be careful, friends, when you read accounts of what is happening in LA. We will hear a lot about violence, and it is essential to remember who is defining that term.

They're going to try memory holing this later so you won't remember resistance.
They did it with Ferguson over a decade ago, so thoroughly that a lot of Americans don't recall it.
They did it with the BLM protests 5 years ago, less success but we'll see by 2030.
They'll try again. Don't let them.

I hate the caricature of Americans as couch potatoes who don’t do anything about fascism. People in LA and NYC are doing the international legacy of stuff like the Battle of Cable Street proud.

And I think we need to have a conversation about some of the wider issues here.

I've been working this week with a group of people who support survivors of sexual abuse - including in state & faith-based care. To say their expectations were low would be an understatement. This makes their lowest expectations look like wild optimism. So grim. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
Watch live: No new compensation scheme for abuse survivors, more funds for current system
But $774 million will be put into the current system instead, minister-in-charge Erica Stanford has announced.

the thing about bans on social media is that my parents had one (net nanny but worse), and instead i got groomed on _wikipedia's freenode irc channels_. you can't reduce harm to children by cutting them off from life. you have to make sure their families and schools are set up for thriving.
