So, last night, I was getting ready to go out with my boyfriend to a dance at my school (which was cancelled due to lack of ticket sales) and, I had a nice black vest and a nice white shirt, and my uncle had just came home the other day from the mine (my uncle is homophobic and he has abused me many times throughout my child hood) and when I had came out of my room to show my memere how nice I looked, my uncle was in the room that i thought my grandma/memere would be in (she was downstairs doing laundry), and he asked me why I wasnt wearing a dress. my memere and dad both know that I am transgendered and they respect that, however, my uncle does not, and he did not know. so I decided to sit down and tell him the truth. he listened carefully and quietlly through all of it, but at the end of my explanation he had said, “I didn’t raise you to be fucked up.” I agreed, I am a huge mess, I have been for years, but my sexuality and gender identity is not a fuck up, so I argued with him. he got to a point where, after so many months of piece, he slapped me. and threw me to the ground and kicked me in the stomach, of course I had puked, and it hurt, a lot. he grabbed me by the shirt and asked me, “are you a girl”, I said no, my sex is female, but my gender is male..and he dragged me to his room. he once had a big dog, and he made that dog wear an eletrical dog collar, and weve always kept it in his room, because we dont need it (my uncle killed the dog), he threw me onto the bed and said,” ill ask you one more time, are you a girl” I said no. held grabbed my wrist, and held onto it tightly, I have a bruise from how tight he was grabbing it, and he pulled out the dog collar, threw me back onto the bed, sat on me, and put the collar on me… then he began yelling, are you a girl, you are a girl, are you a girl, you are a girl, and my response of course was no, no, no, I am male, I am male. whenever I said that, he would shock me, and it was /hell/. I was screaming, which only caused the shocks to get worse and worse, and then he said, “do you want to find out how faggots have sex!?” of course I already know this, but still I said no no no no stop stop stop. my memere had finally heard me and came rushing to the bedroom, and tried to make my uncle stop, but he pushed her down, and thanked god she was okay.. since shes very fragile and all. she then ran back to the stairs to call up my dad, and oh boy did he run. he ran up stairs and shoved my uncle away from me and started fighting with him, yelling, punching, kicking, and such so on. my memere got the collar off of me and brought me into her room, and after my dad and uncle were done fighting, my uncle had grabbed the things he needed and left, shouting a few insults at us. we called the police today, but they cant find him. we dont have money for a lawyer, all we have is a counsellor, im not going to ask for money, all I ask for is support. I dont know what this will do, but please spread this around, this has affected me and family members greatly. I was taken to a hospital today to check if there was any damage on my insides that we dont know of and thankfully there was no damage, just scarring, emotionally and physically. i had a horrifying nightmare relating to this as well. If you have abused somebody, raped somebody, insulted somebody, in any way possible, I hope this can somehow change your way of heart, and realize how much this can horrify a person, and ruin their lives. it made my life 97x worse than it already is.
If you don’t reblog this that’s okay, but I hate you and you are wrong
So I don’t normally ask the internet for help on anything, but this, this is very important. A little girl by the name of Keeley really very DESPERATELY needs your help.
Keeley is only 3 years old, but has already spent most of her life in a hospital. She has been…
Just remember in about 40 seconds someone is about to commit suicide as we sit here blogging. This post goes out to the teens who took and will take their lives. Please just reblog this post to recognize them and don’t question whether or not you should. I promise it won’t ruin your blog type.
I don’t mean to impose a personal favour on you guys, but I really would like to ask that everyone who follows me reblog this.
I don’t think I made it very clear but last month I was sexually assaulted by someone who I thought was my friend (I don’t want to talk about it don’t ask), and it’s… really fucked with my head.
Had I known this a month ago I would have been able to get away.
So, essentially, I’m really pleading with you to reblog this so everyone who follows you doesn’t get stuck in the same position I was with no way out.
I mean again I don’t want the point of this to be my sob story or whatever but if you could reblog this it would seriously mean a lot
If your idea of feminism doesn’t include the “sluts” who take selfies in the underwear, who work in the porn industry, and who have multiple sexual partners because you think you’re better than them then please get out of my face because you’re just as sexist as the people who think that women belong in the kitchen.
I respect and agree that if a woman or man is comfortable with sleeping with several individuals and expressing their body through photography and showing the photos to people they trust, that’s fine. What is not okay is when the body is sold as a product within one of the most corrupt and sick industries in the entire world. Sex is the physical reaction when one appreciates their body and another person’s body due to a deep connection which is love. Of course there needs to be a hint of lust. That being said, the body should never be viewed as a product because such an outlook of the human body is dehumanizing, degrading and alters reality. The porn industry does just that; it alters the reality of a man or a womans view on sex and the body. What goes on behind the camera is a horrible reality. The porn industry is a number one cause of slavery across the globe. It is the most sexist industry out there. The porn industry creates a distorted illusion of women, men and children. Several people on Tumblr criticizes 50 Shades of Grey because it shines light on abuse and gives abusive men the upper hand and the victims the lower hand. It’s the same thing within the porn industry. The large amount of views on a porn video gives the “Ok” for a human trafficker to recruit more sex slaves and those slaves may be children as young as 5 years old. The porn industry is tightly connected across the world which makes it undefeatable. This means that that a “high-quality” American porn video that features a woman like Kim Kardashian may be connected to child prostitute brothel in Thailand. You never know. I don’t look down on anyone who is comfortable with their body, but there must be obviously something wrong with an individual if they are willing to sell and feature their body for predators around the entire world and to promote a slave corporation. I know somebody who willingly joined the porn industry, it may have looked glamorous in front of the camera but she experienced extreme abuse and drug addictions and it took her years to recover and today she dedicates her life to getting her women like her out the industry. The porn industry promotes the dehumanization of the female body. Our bodies are amazing and they are “priceless”. I don’t think I am better than these women who willingly join, in fact their confidence is admirable but to shed light and intertwine sex slavery with feminism to me is wrong. I am going to be dedicating my life to getting men, women and children out of this industry even if they willingly joined. If you’ve got a problem with that you are no better than the human traffickers themselves.
