“transition poses some ethical questions. Such as, from what age should you be allowed to irreversibly change your body.“
This of course completely ignores the fact that puberty makes irreversible changes to your body. But let us just rephrase the question: “from what age do you gain bodily autonomy?” Now it gets very easy to answer: From the moment you’re fucking born.

Listen. Read. Educate yourselves. If you are unaware, fix that. Do not be complicit in the societal and legal oppression of transgender Americans.

Mauna Loa is erupting, but it’s effects and it’s destruction go beyond the lava that will flow.
This eruption and lack of real response or aid by the federal US government marks another notch in the ignorance and dismissal of my people and our constant struggles.
They will do what they always do.
They will watch.
They will continue to “closely” monitor the situation as the lava disrupts the island and they will say the damage is unavoidable, while they sit far away and stall instead of sending real aid.
Mauna Loa makes up over half of Hawai‘i Island. There have been warning signs for months, with multiple earthquakes alerting us to her imminent threat.
And now the eruption is upon us.
Mauna Loa is famously unpredictable in her lava flow, and the future is uncertain for many residents who cannot afford to leave on their own. Without formal help and evacuation, many will have no choice but to stay where they are.
Still, as of Nov 28th, 2022, there is no official evacuation or formal aid by the federal government.
For years, America has claimed that we need them. For protection. For trade. For our economy. For tourism.
They have not protected us.
Right below our feet, our islands were stolen in an illegal overthrow of our sovereign Kingdom. This had lead to mass cultural displacement and loss of identity.
Right below our feet, our ʻāina has been commercialized to death and our culture has been turned into a walking attraction.
This is not protection.
True protection means community. True protection means Hawai‘i for Hawaiians.
America does not protect my people.
My people must protect ourselves.
Restore Hawai‘i to Hawaiians. End the American occupation.
we have really allowed cis women to get FAR too comfortable being transphobic toward trans men.
