When a trans woman first accused Jeffrey Epstein of rape, the media mocked her - LGBTQ Nation
The New York Post called her a "man" and a "gender-bend shocker."
How many lives of women and girls could have been spared the horrors of Epstein and his fellow abusers if the media had not mocked this trans woman in 2007 and listened to her insteadโฆ?
Listen to trans people, we are always the canaries in the coalmine.

Youโre not crazy. The anti-trans movement is not organic; it was funded by pedophilic billionaires like Jeffrey Epstein who backed a network of conservatives to accuse the same people they were sexually abusing of being the real danger. @madycast.com exposes the truth in our in-depth report.

Where It Ends
Answering the enabler's constant question, and contemplating the depraved depths of the billionaire mindset.
Whenever abuse starts getting exposed in a culture of abuse, the question posed is "where does it all end?" to avoid asking โ*how* will we make this end?โ
But I'll answer. Where does it end?
It ends when we excise the abusive ice, from hummock to bummock. www.the-reframe.com/where-it-ends/

Council of Europe Assembly backs ban on conversion practices | ILGA-Europe
The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe has adopted a landmark resolution calling on states to ban conversion practices.
โThe Assembly has now called on member states to act swiftly, arguing that ending conversion practices requires not only legal bans, but sustained political will, properly funded services for survivors, and public education to prevent further harm.โ
