URGENT ALERT- Haters Plan to Trigger Trans* to Suicides
Yesterday, on the English-language imageboard website known as 4Chan, a conversation was captured that points to an offensive by transphobic haters to target transgender people to trigger suicides. Hate speech online is common. However, 4Chan users recently gained attention and notoriety for starting, orchestrating, and escalating Gamergate, an organized campaign against women involved in the video game industry. They target anyone who speaks out against their misogyny. Numerous threats of violence and death against women (and their families) have been associated with this campaign.

Construindo Samuel
Como é que tu estás?” “Eu estou bom, eu estou bom, eu estou bom”, tinha de parar de dizer “eu estou boa”. É como se tivesse um ginásio dentro da cabeça, era preciso treinar muito, repetir, repetir, fazer muitos exercícios para que as palavras lhe começassem a sair certas. Houve dias em que foi para a cama mentalmente exausto, “eram tantas as dores de cabeça. É um esforço enorme”. Conseguiu, agora raramente se engana. Mas Samuel mudou mais depressa do que o mundo à sua volta. Para a mãe, é mais difícil: ainda lhe saem frases misturadas, como “ela agora é o meu filho”. Ana precisa de mais tempo para se habituar à ideia de que deixou de ter uma filha.
