Non ho parole. Ho guardato il tg poco fa (sulla rai) e anche lì hanno dato la notizia come se si trattasse di due donne, scopro adesso grazie a te che non è così. Che schifo il giornalismo italiano. Mi dispiace molto per la coppia.

Idem, ieri sera sul tardi ho visto la notizia di sfuggita, oggi sono andata ad approfondire e ho scoperto la verità.Io non capisco come questa gente abbia il titolo di “giornalista”, cioè non si tratta dei “vecchi di paese che non hanno idea di cosa significhi la sigla LGBTQ+”, loro dovrebbero essere dei “professionisti” informati e che hanno appunto il compito di informare. E ok, non è la prima volta che dei giornalisti fanno robe del genere, ma è disgustoso che si aggiunga altra transfobia a questa vicenda orribile. Poi può essere che lo abbiano fatto per ignoranza, ma ripeto: quando sei un giornalista non puoi appellarti al “non lo sapevo”, o perlomeno rettifica, chiedi scusa, spiega che vi sono arrivate male le notizie, ma ovviamente non succederà.

Dear non-Jewish friends, The Jewish High Holy Days are coming up.  Please do not schedule meetings, parties, and events on the following dates:

Between Friday September 18th at sundown and Sunday September 20th at sundown in observance of Rosh Hashanah.

Between Sunday September 27th at sundown to Monday September 28th at sundown. in observance of Yom Kippur.

Between Friday, October 2nd at sundown and Sunday, October 4th at Sundown in honor of the first days of the Festival of Sukkot.

Between Friday, October 9th at sundown and October 11th at sundown in observance of the end of Sukkot, Shmini Atzeret, and Simchat Torah.

Curious how to greet your Jewish loved ones throughout these holidays and festival?  (This is ESPECIALLY important this year because so many of us feel alone– wish your friends a happy holiday!)  Hebrew and English variations are all appropriate.

“Shana Tova!” (”Happy New Year!”) – especially appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, but appropriate throughout the High Holy Day season.

“l’Shana Tova u’metuka!” (”Have a sweet and happy new year!”)  Similar to the above, especially appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, but appropriate throughout the High Holy Day season.

“Chag Sameach” (“Happy Holiday”) – appropriate on Rosh Hashanah, Sukkot, and Simchat Torah

“Have a Meaningful Day”  – appropriate for Yom Kippur

“Have an easy/meaningful fast”  – appropriate for Yom Kippur, but only if you know that the person is choosing to fast this year.  O

You know I love how so many people are like “respect boundaries respect consent” until it’s time to respect people w OCD who can’t shake hands or be touched or when an autistic person tells their family member they can’t give hugs or when a chronically ill person tells you “no I can’t do this thing” and you think “maybe if I just make them do it anyway it’ll make them stronger” or when a mentally ill person or someone who has been abused is like “I don’t want to be around this person/thing it’s triggering” and you get people guilting them to “just get over it”

If you’re about consent and boundaries, good, you should be, but remember to keep that energy when moms of autistic kids are like “I still hug my child even tho it makes them have panic attacks” or when someone’s like “yeah they said they don’t want to be around this person cause it’s “triggering” but I’m their friend so they should do it for me” or when a disabled person says they can’t go up the stairs and you’re begging them to “try anyway”

Don’t lose that mindset, or that energy when it’s time to respect the boundaries or consent of mentally ill and disabled people.
