Robert Eads Was A Transgender Man Who Transitioned Later In Life And As Such It Was Deemed Inadvisable

Robert Eads was a transgender man who transitioned later in life and as such it was deemed inadvisable for him to seek sex reassignment surgery. He was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1996 but was refused treatment by more than a dozen doctors, some for personal reasons and others on the grounds that taking him on as a patient might harm their practice. When he finally found a doctor to treat him in 1997, the cancer had already metastasized to other parts of his body, rendering any further treatments futile. He passed away in 1999. His life and death was the subject of the award-winning documentary Southern Comfort (2001).

As i’m sure many of you have heard, the Trump administration just passed a ruling that would remove LGBT+ anti-discrimination protections in health care and health insurance. I immediately thought of this man’s story when I heard about the ruling. Stories like this are the reason why those protections are necessary.

It’s easy to feel hopeless with all the bad news our community has been bombarded with recently. But we have to keep fighting, and one way we can fight is through legal means.

Here are some organizations who have announced plans to take action in court. If you can donate to any of them, please do!

LAMBDA Legal: one of the first to announce they would take legal action against the ruling, LAMBDA Legal is the oldest and largest national legal organization advocating for LGBTQ+ people and people with HIV.

Title: First Dates

Pairing: Opposite (Zane/Kai)

Words: 1133

Warnings: None!! just some generic fluff

“I’m not going to lie,” Zane said with a laugh, “But that was the best date I’ve ever been on.” Kai- smiled, his fingers brush against Zane’s. He moved his own hand so it was closer, and when the nindroid made no objection to their hands fully touching, he took his hand. Zane smiled at Kai and didn’t move his hand, letting their arms swing slightly as they walked down the quiet streets of early evening Ninjago, the lights from skyscrapers and the slowly awakening nightlife painted purple and blue and green highlights over everything. Even Zane.

“I’m glad you thought so!” kai said lightheartedly with a laugh, “The waiter was a total fanboy, it was so embarrassing!”

“Maybe, but if he hadn't made you uncomfortable, we wouldn’t have gone to the hole in the wall pizza joint. I haven’t had pizza that good in… well ever,” Zane replied with a smile, looking at Kai, his eyes brushing over his sharp features, unable to think about anything other than how beautiful he looked. The streetlamps dim orange glow danced across his cheekbones as he walked while the light blues and yellows from the neon-lit shop windows blending together on his nose and lips, creating a beautiful green with a blue and yellow outline.

“In fairness, the pizza was really good. We need to tell the guys about that later,” Kai looked away slightly and took a nervous breath, “And… if it made you happy and you enjoyed it, that’s all I could ask for,” He said softly, looking up at Zane with a small smile, his cheeks blossoming a beautiful crimson. Zane smiled, feeling a little steam begin to come out of his ears. Kai had that effect on him. That little, lopsided smile, the freckles he tried so hard to cover and his deep brown eyes that were peppered with streaks of blue.

“Sorry,” Zane said, even more, embarrassed as the steam continued to come out of his ears, “My systems seem to be overheating,” He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck. Kai smiled even wider, his teeth being immediately covered in yellow, green and blue neon lights.

“Don’t worry about it, honestly I think it’s cute when you get all flustered like this,” Kai said with a giggle, stopping walking so he could properly look into Zane’s eyes. They were so light and shining, almost unnerving. Kai didn’t find them unnerving. He loved Zane’s eyes. They were so beautifully might and airy, they almost dragged every worry off his shoulders. When he looked into those eyes, he knew everything would be ok. Zane’s eyes brought security, usually because if his eyes were there, the rest of him would be there too, holding his hand and keeping him grounded.

“You watch too many romcom’s,” Zane said with a laugh, moving himself a little closer to his boyfriend.

“Why? Is this going down that route? Because if it is, I can’t say I’d be complaining,” He replied flirtily, smirking mischievously.

“Will you just shut up and kiss me, hothead,” Zane whispered, their faces getting closer by the second.

“With pleasure frosty,” Kai murmured, pressing his lips to Zane’s softly, resting his hand delicately on the back of his neck. Zane’s hands drifted down Kai’s back, coming to rest on his hips, holding hard enough to ensure he’d never let go or leave him again. Not even death would do them part, and Zane was sure of that. He would make sure of that. He’d shift heaven and hell if it meant Kai would be happy, and he’d make sure to show him that every day for the rest of his life.

Suddenly, cool droplets fell from the sky, splattering them both.

“Are you being for real,” Kai said, pulling away but not letting go of Zane, looking at the sky in annoyance. Zane let out a small laugh, looking at Kai with his eyebrows raised.

“Did you not check the forecast? It said it was going to rain,” Zane laughed, looking at Kai with raised eyebrows.

“... Maybe,” Kai said, wincing slightly as the rain began getting heavier, flattening his perfectly styled hair.

“Right just… I think I’ve seen situations like this in those romcoms you’re obsessed with. Watch and learn, loverboy,” Zane said smugly, pulling off his jacket and holding it above both of their heads like a makeshift umbrella, smiling down at Kai.

“I’m not obsessed!” Kai said indignantly, crossing his arms and looking away in fake anger.

“Hmm. Whatever you say,” Zane said with a laugh, rolling his eyes playfully.

“Wait did you call me loverboy,” Kai stopped abruptly, only just processing what Zane had said.

“Maybe. Is that ok?” Zane said worriedly, stopping next to him, scared he said something wrong.

“Of- of course, it is! I just… didn’t expect it. I… kinda liked it,’ Kai said softly, his face turning a deep red.

“Cool. Good. I’m glad,” Zane said awkwardly, not completely sure how to respond, continuing to walk, “I can call it you more if you’d like?”

“Yeah. Please,” Kai closed his eyes in embarrassment, “Not my best response, but anyway.” Zane laughed, making Kai smile. He loved Zane’s laugh. It was so light and airy, it just made him want to laugh and smile too.

“I hope it doesn’t rain for too much longer, my arms are getting tired,” Zane said lightheartedly, shifting his harms slightly trying to gain a little more blood flow to them.

“Just put your jacket on properly, It’s my fault for not bringing my own. I’ve survived a lot worse than a little rain,” Kai replied. Zane sighed, looking at his tired arms, then back at Kai, not completely sure what to do. Then it dawned on him.

“Stop for a second,” Zane said quickly, lowering his jacket and, as Kai stopped, slinging it around his shoulders and pulling the hood up, “Now you won’t catch a cold,” Zane said happily. Kai stood in awe, staring at the large, fluffy jacket now wrapped around him. He pulled the edges together and felt a warmness flood over him, but not from the jacket.

“I love you, Zane,” Kai said softly getting closer to the nindroid as they continued walking back to the monastery.

“I love you too, Loverboy,” Zane replied, wrapping his arm around Kai’s shoulders and putting his free hand in his pocket, “You look adorable in my jacket, by the way. Feel free to steal all my clothes because I’d give anything to see you looking like this again.” Kai blushed and shook his head, resting it on Zane’s side.

“I hope you know that now you’ve said that, you’ll never see any of your hoodies again,” He said with a laugh.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

Anyway, daily reminder from a culturally isolated Romani person.

Gypsy does not mean wanderer.

It literally means ‘people from egypt’ or similar, as europeans believed Romani people were from Egypt. It has become known similar to nomad due to how our ancestors have been forced to be nomadic due to racism and ostracization, but it is a SLUR.

Romani people are STILL being forcibly sterilized.

Romani people are STILL being forced into ghettos.

Romani people are still facing violence and danger in countless European countries- and recently, I’ve seen the beginnings of the extremes in the United States.

Have a little fucking respect and DON’T USE A SLUR THAT’S BEEN USED FOR CENTURIES AGAINST US.

And for the love of whatever’s up there, ESPECIALLY do not use it to describe your witchcraft. It is playing on the ‘magic gypsy’ trope, and is EXTREMELY insulting.

non romani people, please reblog this.
