Turn Off The Light As You Leave

I spent a long time not wanting to write about the EU vote. I wanted people to educate themselves as to why we needed to stay, but alas I woke up this morning to the news that we have left the EU.
It hurts because the people who voted for us to leave are the people its not really going to affect or people who have been lied to.
The moment we got the news on the exit, wanker Farage backtracked and denied that they said that £350 million could go to the NHS. The moment that it was called the pound suddenly fell. In under 24 hours, the country fucked its own currency.
The leave campaign was based on lies, fears and racism. We are not going to get our jobs back, we are not going to get our money back. Those immigrants you have been bitching about, didn’t choose to live in this shit hole of a country, they had to. They have been doing the jobs we don’t want to do.
We had maternity leave, sick leave, holiday pay and actual work laws to stop discrimination and unfair dismissal because of the EU. Those jobs you have been fighting for, no longer care about your health and well being. Hell they are probably going to be sold on overseas.
Violence towards people of colour and queer people have and will continue to rise. UK born POC have been assaulted and abused because right wing cunts think they shouldn’t be in their country. Guess what, white people are not the only people who have a right to be here.
I’ve already had to unfriend and block a few people who I considered as friends. Not because they voted to leave but the racist bullshit they spewed after “they won”. No one fucking won, the people who are happy about this are the people who fucked our country up in the first place.
Now Cameron has resigned (which is the only fucking plus to this) we are going to be stuck with Boris. That stupid idiot is going to be running what remains of this place. Scotland wants out, Northern Ireland will want out, and I don’t blame them. Boris couldn’t even run London let alone the rest of the UK.
Within the next few days and weeks we will finally find out how this is going to pan out for us, but until then stay safe people. This is going to be a bumpy ride.

More Porn Please, We’re British

Not content with banning (being made in this country):
• Fisting
•Watersports
•Domination
•Facesitting
•Hard spanking
•Any pornography that involves a woman being in charge.

The conservative fucking bastards are now planning to put in place that ALL porn will not be accessible, unless a credit card, or a code from the government can prove you are over 18.
Though I am fully supportive of stopping children looking at porn. The Tories are going one step further by saying that if sites do NOT conform to this, they will be fined or blocked in the UK. Legal sites, will be blocked, because they DON’T want our information.
Not only is this going to be affecting our porn, it will start to affect other things too. They want SnapChat to be banned, as well as WhatsApp, in fact anything that’s encrypted. Not only is this unsafe practice, this will mean that ANYONE could easily steal your data and use it.

It may be just porn right now but later on it will be other things, and quite frankly I don’t want either my privacy or freedoms to be violated

Free Speech Rambles

For the first time ever I have entirely scrapped a post and decided to re-write the whole thing. Though my intentions for the original post were meant to be positive, looking back at it, it was written so badly, it had to go. Sorry for any one who had read the original post and liked it, looking at it now, I really don’t.

When I first started blogging I honestly had no idea about how my language and posts could come across. I was so built up that everyone should be treated equal and you should be able to say whatever the fuck you wanted but that is not the case. I was blinded by my own privileges to actually see that people DO NOT have free speech. And that you should take away peoples voices if the platform and the content is poisonous.
Now one thing I’m going to still agree with out of all of the whole post. Tumblr still annoys me, and I feel like it brings up a lot of hate and fighting, when it could be used to fight a better purpose. I however am using it a bit more now, and have removed blogs that I feel are poisonous.
I also posted about trigger warnings. And although I feel like “trigger” has been turned into a fucking joke, and it really has by some. I now totally understand why people use content warnings. People can be affected by what you write, how you respond, and everyone is entitled to have an opinion and also have the ability not to read something that might bring them distress. For the people who read my previous post, I am sorry.

I still however feel that anyone can be educated and have their mind changed about opinion. I feel like at some point we have all made mistakes and taken part in things that we shouldn’t have, but we have learned and have been educated. I however feel that it’s not my place to always educate cis people about my transition or always educate about my mental health. Its in the individual to learn by themselves.
Since writing this I have learned that if you have the ability to speak freely, you should do so and in positivity towards minorities that might not have the same privileges as you do. That if you see something unjust, you should call it out and erase the problem. You should also continue to keep using your abilities to speak up, even when oppressive people try and shoot you down.

Finally, I would like to apologise from the bottom of my heart about the original post. I am very sorry about what I wrote and I have learned from the experience.
