Trans people have been demonized in Iraq for years by the Islamic regime. Being Trans runs the danger of being hanged or stoned to death because of the enmity towards trans people in Iraq. I realized I was trans since I was 4, I remember wanting to buy a dress and breaking into tears when my mother refused to purchase me the dress and then scolded me saying "you are a man and you shouldn't wear this". I then hid it for years until I got access to the internet in 2019 when I was able to express myself. I then started plans to move out of Iraq at that time and I started gathering funds but around a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer which destroyed my savings. On the 6th of February as I was asleep, my brother went through my phone and saw my trans account but I was able to delete it before he sent it to the family but now I am under heavy surveillance, they look through my phone any chance they get and they are talking to people about it and I'm afraid they might call the police when they get any evidence on it. So I need your help!

To be honest with you I hate that I have to do that but one friend of mine told me "you can feel Shame about it when you are in a safe place"

comrade never feel shame about this. the system is cruel and meant to destroy hope. you are just a victim. you are doing what is necessary to live.

I'll miss broccoli cheese soup once I go vegan, not too sure it'd be the same with non-dairy alternatives.

I also like spicy chicken wings which should be easily doable with tofu.

Also, I'm not sure non-top level comments bump the post in the algo. I wonder if we could get an official bump feature (maybe with limited bumps per day and only for established accounts).

They do. This is why basically dead threads with one deeply nested argument still retain their front page position.

Interesting. Let's get this comrade the help she needs then, let me see how many silly struggle sessions I can recall.

I walk my cat and let him loose in the park for 15 minutes every day.

AOC is a finance imperialist but we must critically support her struggle against twitter multipolaritybros.

Vegans are cool.

Brace is not that funny.

Remember the really early days when we still had China/Uyghur struggle sessions? Those don't really happen anymore

Even the liberals gave up trying to push that garbage. It was so obviously a top-down op. Back in my day, they'd at least bother to build up a color revolution with a little bit of popular support behind it!

Well I think people either lurked silently and got educated on the subject (this was me), got convinced by their comrades here during the arguments, or got run off the site.

It really is tough for baby leftists to accept that basically all Western media lies constantly, I guess.
