Parce qu'il ne faut pas que cette lettre, cet appel au monde, à la tolérance, au changement, disparaisse d'internet, comme Timo je la reproduis ici:

« Suicide Note

If you are reading this, it means that I have committed suicide and obviously failed to delete this post from my queue.

Please don’t be sad, it’s for the better. The life I would’ve lived isn’t worth living in… because I’m transgender. I could go into detail explaining why I feel that way, but this note is probably going to be lengthy enough as it is. To put it simply, I feel like a girl trapped in a boy’s body, and I’ve felt that way ever since I was 4. I never knew there was a word for that feeling, nor was it possible for a boy to become a girl, so I never told anyone and I just continued to do traditionally “boyish” things to try to fit in.

When I was 14, I learned what transgender meant and cried of happiness. After 10 years of confusion I finally understood who I was. I immediately told my mom, and she reacted extremely negatively, telling me that it was a phase, that I would never truly be a girl, that God doesn’t make mistakes, that I am wrong. If you are reading this, parents, please don’t tell this to your kids. Even if you are Christian or are against transgender people don’t ever say that to someone, especially your kid. That won’t do anything but make them hate them self. That’s exactly what it did to me.

My mom started taking me to a therapist, but would only take me to christian therapists, (who were all very biased) so I never actually got the therapy I needed to cure me of my depression. I only got more christians telling me that I was selfish and wrong and that I should look to God for help.

When I was 16 I realized that my parents would never come around, and that I would have to wait until I was 18 to start any sort of transitioning treatment, which absolutely broke my heart. The longer you wait, the harder it is to transition. I felt hopeless, that I was just going to look like a man in drag for the rest of my life. On my 16th birthday, when I didn’t receive consent from my parents to start transitioning, I cried myself to sleep.

I formed a sort of a “fuck you” attitude towards my parents and came out as gay at school, thinking that maybe if I eased into coming out as trans it would be less of a shock. Although the reaction from my friends was positive, my parents were pissed. They felt like I was attacking their image, and that I was an embarrassment to them. They wanted me to be their perfect little straight christian boy, and that’s obviously not what I wanted.

So they took me out of public school, took away my laptop and phone, and forbid me of getting on any sort of social media, completely isolating me from my friends. This was probably the part of my life when I was the most depressed, and I’m surprised I didn’t kill myself. I was completely alone for 5 months. No friends, no support, no love. Just my parent’s disappointment and the cruelty of loneliness.

At the end of the school year, my parents finally came around and gave me my phone and let me back on social media. I was excited, I finally had my friends back. They were extremely excited to see me and talk to me, but only at first. Eventually they realized they didn’t actually give a shit about me, and I felt even lonelier than I did before. The only friends I thought I had only liked me because they saw me five times a week.

After a summer of having almost no friends plus the weight of having to think about college, save money for moving out, keep my grades up, go to church each week and feel like shit because everyone there is against everything I live for, I have decided I’ve had enough. I’m never going to transition successfully, even when I move out. I’m never going to be happy with the way I look or sound. I’m never going to have enough friends to satisfy me. I’m never going to have enough love to satisfy me. I’m never going to find a man who loves me. I’m never going to be happy. Either I live the rest of my life as a lonely man who wishes he were a woman or I live my life as a lonelier woman who hates herself. There’s no winning. There’s no way out. I’m sad enough already, I don’t need my life to get any worse. People say “it gets better” but that isn’t true in my case. It gets worse. Each day I get worse.

That’s the gist of it, that’s why I feel like killing myself. Sorry if that’s not a good enough reason for you, it’s good enough for me. As for my will, I want 100% of the things that I legally own to be sold and the money (plus my money in the bank) to be given to trans civil rights movements and support groups, I don’t give a shit which one. The only way I will rest in peace is if one day transgender people aren’t treated the way I was, they’re treated like humans, with valid feelings and human rights. Gender needs to be taught about in schools, the earlier the better. My death needs to mean something. My death needs to be counted in the number of transgender people who commit suicide this year. I want someone to look at that number and say “that’s fucked up” and fix it. Fix society. Please.

Goodbye,

"plusieurs personnalités relèvent la contradiction du droit français qui interdit aux gays et aux bis de donner leur sang, mais autorise le don d'organes. "
Ouais, voilà... c'est stupide.
En Grande-Bretagne, la loi évolue, elle ! Les homos auront le droit de donner leur sang... à condition de ne pas avoir eu relations sexuelles depuis 10 ans.  ><
La société évolue, mais pas assez vite à mon goût.

«3 ans de prison», «dénoncer»,  «incitation à la débauche et outrage à la morale publique», «pourraient mettre Dieu en colère», «examens physiologiques et psychologiques [...] pour prouver leur homosexualité»...
Putain de civilisation !  >:-(

Facebook s'excuse de son action (cf. http://sebsauvage.net/links/?yBL_yQ) contre la communauté LGBT. Son excuse ? Un unique individu aurait signalé tous les comptes en question (ben voyons) et ces signalement seraient passés dans la procédure de blocage habituelle.
Facebook s'excuse, certes, mais ne remet pas vraiment en cause sa procédure habituelle, et continue à considérer le pseudonymat comme quelque chose à combattre.

Le pseudonymat sert à se protéger. Certes certains l'utiliseront à mauvais escient, mais est-ce une raison pour le refuser aux autres ?
C'est le même dilemme pour la crypto: Vous ne pouvez pas en donner l'accès à tout le monde sans que certains en abusent. Pour autant, c'est un outils incroyablement utile.

Il ne faut *pas* combattre l'outils (crypto, pseudonymat) mais seulement les mauvaises utilisations qui en sont faites. Dans un jargon plus populaire (et IRL), ça s'appelle la liberté: Vous êtes libre de faire tout ce que vous voulez, sauf à répondre de vos abus devant la loi.
Facebook et Google combattent le pseudonymat. Ils se trompent de combat, et c'est préjudiciable à tous, parce que cela expose tout monde.

Vous vous en fichez d'être fiché ?  Vous vous dites: Peu importe que les logiciels sur mon smartphone sachent où je suis, sachent avec qui je communique, quand, quelles photos je prend ?   Je m'en fiche que mon gouvernement s'en serve contre moi parce que je n'ai rien à me reprocher ?
Vous n'avez rien à vous reprocher *ici* et *maintenant*... mais si dans 10 ans votre gouvernement change, qu'en sera-t-il ?

Dans beaucoup de pays, l'homosexualité est illégale et punie par la loi. Il semblerai que les polices morales et religieuses de certains pays se servent des réseaux sociaux pour traquer, piéger et localiser les homosexuels (ici dans l'article: en Egypte). C'est effrayant. :-(

Et ben ouais... on est pas arrivés.  :-/

Encore un exemple de la pudibonderie américaine.

Poutine a déclaré la guerre aux homosexuels. Jusqu'à signer une loi qui permet l'arrestation et l'emprisonnement des homosexuels. Il est même sur le point de signer une loi qui retirerait les enfants aux familles dont l'un des parents est *suspecté* être homosexuel.
Je me répète, mais Poutine est un dangereux con.
Et les médias n'en parlent absolument pas, bien sûr.

C'est quand même "marrant", news après news, que les voix les plus virulente contre les LGBT se revèlent être au final homosexuels.

Moralité: Pour avoir une vie privée, n'utilisez pas Facebook.

Haha... bien joué. Pour une fois que EA ne se comporte comme un trou du cul. En tous cas, on mesure la peur irrationnelle engendrée par la communauté LGBT quand on voit le terme "propagande" utilisé par les organisation ultra-conservatrices. On peut toujours fantasmer sur le fait que nos sociétés occidentales aient progressé sur le chemin de la tolérance, mais dans les faits on en est encore loin.

Qu'est-ce que ça peut puer, ce genre d'appli.
