I saw a post saying that trans people should remember that “ You may be the first trans person someone has met! Be a good ambassador!!!”
I am not an ambassador. I did not agree to, nor do I want, that position. I am not anyone’s token trans. I am not the spokesperson for all trans people everywhere. I am an individual, and I am just trying to live my life.
Don’t put that shit on people.

i know none of you guys come to tumblr for politics, especially from a country that’s not yours, but the thing that needs to be understood is that Brazil is one of the most mixed in race, religion and ethnicity in the world. our democracy is merely thirty years old, we were in a dictatorship for TWENTY years before that. and the man that was voted our president now claims that he’s in favor of a dictatorship, he’s for torture, he thinks lgbt kids should be beaten up to turn straight and that he’d rather have a dead son than a gay one. he said in full words that he’s gonna govern for the majorities and the minorities can either leave or disappear, and then he said that he’s gonna dissipate anyone against him. all of that publicly, there’re videos of everything. he’s been called by many developed countries as the new hitler. we’re the fifth largest country in the world, and minority by minority, he’s gonna destroy us. i’ve never been so scared.

pride month shouldn’t be the only time you recognize and celebrate trans people of color
