in case anyone here hasn't heard, a young trans girl killed herself a few weeks ago. she was 17. her name was Charlotte.

she posted a photo on Twitter just before she died: the night sky, from the bridge she was jumping from.

since then, transphobes on Twitter have been viciously mocking her and celebrating her death. someone hacked her account with transphobic suicide "jokes". the fucker that made Stonetoss made the photo his banner image. people have been making "memes" and "jokes" about her death. people have gone to the bridge she jumped from to physically put up trans suicide "memes".

I hope she will be able to rest at peace, or have a happy life in her next life. I wish she never had to go through everything she had experienced, that she could've had a comfortable and happy life.

I am so tired, though. is this genuinely what cis-dominated society has become? do people genuinely hate us this much? they claim they want to "protect the children", but here they are celebrating the death of a child. the mask is off. it is about to get very dangerous for us soon, I think - tens of thousands of people celebrating the death of a trans child is something you would've expected to hear in a history textbook about Nazi Germany, not in the year 2025.

if you are mentally and physically and financially able, it would be a good time to arm up, or get ready to flee to more welcoming shores, or start building mutual aid networks in your local trans community and preparing to engage in direct action if necessary. stock up on hormones; DIY if necessary.

to anyone here who is suicidal: please, please, please don't kill yourself. live out of spite, resist the fascists who want your death. your death will be mocked and celebrated by your enemies; your figurative corpse will be paraded around as a trophy. living, having hope for a brighter future, is a form of resistance. someday, I believe, things will be okay. until then, we need to fight back.
