atheism obvs. isn’t a bad thing in itself but there’s a specific flavor of white male atheism that I can’t stand (the type that includes calling people’s religion “fairy tales” and being exceptionally aggressive towards Islam)

TW for suicide
Dan Savage has extremely strong words for the parents and therapists of Leelah Alcorn, the trans teen who died by suicide after leaving a note on Tumblr.
"The suicide of Leelah Alcorn this week actually made headlines – something, sadly, that the mainstream news media too frequently ignores. Alcorn is the transgender teen who committed suicide by walking in front of a truck early Sunday morning. On her Tumblr page, she had scheduled a suicide note to post, which it did when she was no longer alive to unschedule – or postpone – it.
Alcorn also scheduled an apology post, which was published sometime after her suicide note. It was an apology to some, but not to her parents, who apparently had caused her great misery.
"Mom and Dad: Fuck you. You can’t just control other people like that. That’s messed up," were her final words to her parents in the apology note.
Dan Savage on Twitter went on a bit of a rant, posting tweets saying Leelah’s parents should be prosecuted for her death.”

RIP LEELAH ALCORN

I can stomach bro-type boys who actually are quite sweet and loveable beneath their bro exterior significantly more than like, guys who study philosophy and write “poetry” but beneath it all actually have the skewed moral compass and heedless self absorption of your common or garden bro.

I.
You can tell me
You love me
In the sunrise
And by midday
I will think
I’m completely
Alone.
Your love is enough
But I feel like
I’m not enough for your love.
II.
I will wake you up
At 2 am
When I’m stone-cold-sober
To say sorry
For everything.
You won’t know what I’m talking about.
Neither will I.
Say it’s okay.
III.
Some days
I will tell you
I need you to hold me.
Tell me
I am strong on my own
But you’ll be there
Just the same.
IV.
I am and will be
Jealous of
Everyone and everything
That goes on
When you’re not with me.
Remind me
That you care but
Never let me make you
Feel guilty for not letting
Your world revolve
Around me.
V.
When I call you crying
One too many times
I don’t need advice,
Just to know
That my tears are not
Falling unheard.
VI.
I will accuse you
Of being sick of me,
Of being tired of me
A lot.
And you will spend
These conversations
Feeling like a broken record.
Don’t get bored of me.
I’m just scared
That you’ll see me
The way I see myself.
VII.
I will never be angry
But I’ll get passive-aggressive.
If I tell you
It doesn’t matter
Tell me
It matters
To you.
VIII.
I’m not as broken
As I often like to think I am.
Don’t try to fix me.
I still need to learn.
IX.
I’m afraid of being rejected
But don’t stay
If you don’t want to.
I’d rather be alone
Than with someone
There out of pity.
X.
Be patient
And let me
Grow into your arms.
M.S. An open letter to anyone who loves me (via coffee-crinkled-pages)

#suicide TW
I’m sure many of you have heard the heartbreaking news this morning about transgender teen Leelah Alcorn’s (this links to her tumblr which contains her suicide note and other potentially triggering content) suicide after years of dealing with her bigoted and abusive Christian parents. After coming out to her mom, Leelah was forced into “therapy” with extremely harmful Christian therapists who did nothing but tell her she was selfish and to turn to god. Her parents removed her from public school and took away all her electronics so she could not even turn to social media for help. In the end, she felt like she had nothing to look forward to in her future.
Leelah, I’m so sorry the world wasn’t ready for you. I’m so sorry we live in a world where this is allowed to happen. I wish there was some way I could have helped you. I wish your parents could have seen the harm they were doing. You were a bright, shining star of a human being and it crushes my soul to learn of you like this.
Followers, I know probably more than half of you are cis. You follow for the funny words and pictures, but this is the reality of trans people’s existence in the world. We are not safe. Our families abuse us, people constantly seek to do us harm and tell us we are abominations, and many times, trans people feel like there are no other options than suicide.
If our society were more compassionate, more understanding, more kind, this would not be the case. Cis people can help trans people. Call out transphobia from your friends and family. Denounce transphobia at your church. Stop tolerating transphobic jokes and remarks in the media. Stop letting it slide when people misgender trans people. Speak up.
I’ll end this post with a quote from Leelah. Remember her words.
The only way I will rest in peace is if one day transgender people aren’t treated the way I was, they’re treated like humans, with valid feelings and human rights. Gender needs to be taught about in schools, the earlier the better. My death needs to mean something. My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say “that’s fucked up” and fix it. Fix society. Please.
