  1. ‘Girl, You Just Gay’ – Daily #Microaggressions Faced By #Trans and #NonBinary #Africans

    May 1, 2024

    "The #LGBTQI+ community in #Africa has made significant strides in the face of prejudice, homophobia, and discrimination. Despite the challenges posed by punitive laws and conservative cultures, there are efforts to support and mobilise LGBTQI+ youth activists on the continent. However, the community continues to face setbacks, with instances of violence and marginalisation being reported in various African countries. For instance, in South Africa, a country with strong legal protections, violence against LGBT people remains a pressing issue, with at least 24 reported murders in bias-motivated attacks in 2021.

    Despite these challenges, there are efforts to advance LGBTQI+ equality globally, including engaging the private sector to help advance LGBTQI+ livelihoods. The private sector's role in respecting the human rights of LGBTQI+ persons is being recognized, with initiatives such as robust business due diligence and human rights-based data collection being promoted to track progress toward LGBTQI+ economic empowerment.

    In the midst of these efforts, it is important to acknowledge the specific challenges faced by Trans people and non-binary individuals within the LGBTQI+ community in Africa. While some have found supportive communities, they often experience Micro-aggressions and discrimination within these spaces. It is crucial to address these issues and work towards creating a more inclusive and respectful environment for all members of the LGBTQI+ community in Africa.

    Misgendering, Deadnaming, Marginalising

    Trans people and non-binary identifying individuals in the LGBTQI+ community face Micro-aggressions from both within and outside the community. Micro-aggressions against Trans people and non-binary individuals can take various forms, including #misgendering, #deadnaming, and invalidating their gender identity. These Microaggressions can be particularly harmful and contribute to feelings of marginalization, distress, and invalidation. Research has shown that gender minority youth experience more familial #Microaggressions, invalidation of #LGBTQ identity, and threatening behaviours (Arijis Q. et. Al. 2023).

    "For instance, assuming that all individuals present as either male or female and failing to recognize non-binary or genderqueer identities can be a form of Micro-aggression. Additionally, making comments that link an Individual's LGBTQI+ identity with illness or pathology, or expressing surprise when someone's sexual orientation or gender identity is revealed, can also be harmful Micro-aggressions."

  6. CW: Mobbing, Gewalt, Deadnamimg

    Mein Name ist keine Laune und kein Trend.
    Er ist für mich Schutz.

    Mit 14 habe ich die Schule gewechselt und wollte bereits damals meinen Namen ändern,
    in der Hoffnung, dass das Mobbing und die Gewalt aufhören würden.
    Diese Namensänderung wurde mir nicht erlaubt.

    Zwei Jahre später kaufte ich mir ein Modem.
    In dieser Szene fand ich erstmals Freundschaften, in denen ich einfach angenommen wurde, wie ich bin. Dort wurde ich nicht mehr mit meinem alten, für mich toten Namen angesprochen.
    Einige dieser Freundschaften bestehen bis heute.

    Mein alter Name ist für mich mit jahrelangem Mobbing, körperlicher Gewalt und einem Messerangriff verknüpft. Wenn dieser Name heute ausgesprochen wird, werden diese Erfahrungen im Körper wieder aktiviert – nicht nur in Gedanken.
    Hinzu kommt:
    Mit meinem alten Namen wird mir zugleich ein falsches Geschlecht zugeschrieben.
    Das bedeutet, ich werde nicht nur an Gewalt erinnert, sondern auch in meiner Identität verfehlt.
    Darum ist mein neuer Name so wichtig. Er steht für Sicherheit, Würde und Selbstbestimmung.

    Niemand muss jede Entscheidung anderer gut finden. Aber respektvolle Ansprache ist kein Entgegenkommen, sondern eine Grundform von Anerkennung.

    Elon #Musk findet #Deadnaming gut, hasst es aber, wenn man es mit ihm macht. Wenn ihn also jedes "#Twitter" näher zum Herzinfarkt führt, bin ich dabei.

  25. Rainverse Wiki now has an official policy on deadnaming. This is not actually a new policy: we have written down what we were already doing. Our hope is that by writing it down, it will be easier for new contributors to follow.

    TL,DR:
    * Do not deadname real people.
    * Fictional characters' deadnames may be used as redirects or when necessary to document the comic.
    * If you aren't sure whether a use of a deadname is "necessary," discuss it first.
