Bisan is a 25yo Palestinian woman who has been documenting Israel’s genocide in Gaza. I guarantee that many of the students holding strong in the face of fascist police assaults on their encampments for Gaza at campuses across the United States know Bisan.

This man had the audacity 2 molest a woman during a televised event watched by millions. He knew she wouldn't react. We need 2 tell r girls that it's ok 2 make a scene & defend themselves if they're molested, slap that hand & break those f*ing fingers if they have 2 @monaeltahawy

If my asking, 'How many rapists must we kill before men stop raping us?' scares men, then let them be scared. Too many women and girls live in fear of actual male violence every day. When is this much outrage going to be directed at violence against women? #qanda #Australia

I don’t know what would’ve happened to me if there was no Twitter. So many people tweeted in support of me. Eternally grateful to them. When I was finally free, this is what I tweeted (transcribed by The Guardian). We didn’t have threads back then.

Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza as the world watches. Or at least as the world watched, because now we can’t see what it’s doing because it has cut off all communications there. Genocide committed in the dark is still genocide.

If Twitter had edit button: - 9yrs ago I was transphobic. I apologize to the trans communities. - I now fight vs that transphobia - I’ve learned a lot since, including to better apologize - I lose nothing by improving my apology to communities that face so much hate & violence

I want to address this: - I’m embarrassed & I apologize for what I said in this tweet from 2011 - 9yrs ago I didn’t have the language to describe trans people or issues correctly - I’ve learned a lot & I continue to learn how best to be an ally - I will continue to fight bigotry

As horrific as the case of the 10yo Ohio rape victim who had to go to Indiana for an abortion, and as horrific as the Christian zealots' reaction has been, it is important to say abortion is a human right to all who want it and not just in the most horrific of circumstances.

Cis men HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA what it is to walk through - or just recline in this case - the world as a woman, cis or trans. NO FUCKING IDEA. It’s like we occupy parallel universes. And you see it encapsulated like that video does and still you hear “Yeah but how dare she.”
