If you're russian trans/queer and scared rn and are looking for help, please take a look at this post and all the links in it, maybe it will help you find something useful. Even if not, remember: you are not alone. There are so many of us. This isn't the end. It just isn't. Take your time, take caution, but in your head and soul stay loud and keep loving and helping your people
If you aren't russian, please take a look at it and reblog it, it's a list of helpful resources for queer and trans people in russia. Russian supreme court has outlawed being queer and trans. I am not fucking kidding. Any mentions of transness, queerness, any mention of it is now against the law, even in art and scientific research. It has been this way for a WHILE with the "propaganda" law that everyone knows about, but this has just made everything worse. LGBT+ activism is now punished by at least 6 years in prison (and previously they already forced every activist group to self-label as "foreign agent" to signify just how non-russian they are for fighting for their rights). And it's considered "extremist" to EXIST. Hear us. Help us. The world is a lot and it may feel like there's a hierarchy to all the disasters happening, which should be tackled first and whatnot, but we CAN'T WAIT with this. All we have is each other, so at least share a few posts if you have tumblr or anything like that. It will help. Show that it isn't just us who care about our rights

My heart goes out to my siblings in Russia 
this world is terrifying, but we need to fight for each other. Thank you for spreading awareness about this! I hadn't realized it was was this bad.

Absolutely sharing this on Tumblr 
It's despicable and scary that some people can decide over other's existence as they please

•I don't have a tumblr anymore, but I'm still spreading this link. Nobody deserves to be treated like this, especially just because they are trans/queer. I hope all the LGBTQ+ people in Russia will find ways to stay safe!!!! This world is so cruel...

•Re sharing. The other day I read about it in the news and it's awful. How insecure and weak these straight cis people in power have to be to consider other human beings a threat just for the mere reason of existing.
I expected things wouldn't get better, but never expected these would get worse.
