Today is Leelah Alcorn’s birthday. This beautiful soul, whose time in this world was cut short with her own hand, pushed by those who pushed her true self away, she will live on in our hearts. Please never forget her, and who she really was. And in that, please remember her struggle, and know that that same struggle carries on as a burden on thousands of trans-teenage shoulders. Support those you know, and never push them away. Hold them close and raise them up.

We love you, Leelah. Rest in peace.

If you guys don’t know who zubat (Alex Yrigoyen) is, they’re basically some blogger that is really popular because they look like Ruby Rose don’t even lie you know if her blog was the way it is but she didn’t look like Ruby she probably would not have this much attention like really. They have been known to lie and scam.

Before I begin I’d like to say there’re certain topics and ideas I’m not going to touch because I’m not educated enough on Native American culture to be trying to call her out on certain things. This is a list of things I’ve compiled with explanations and links to certain posts where people have called her out that are reliable, to me at least. A lot of this stuff is from exposingalex.tumblr.com so I’m just throwing that out there.

Also, you’re going to see that I switch between they/her a lot but Alex has stated that they are fine with any pronouns. As a non-binary person, I know how frustrating and insulting it is to have somebody use the wrong pronouns. I took my time to look for their proper pronouns before making this post.

Now that you know who they are and have read the disclaimer I’m going to tell you why they fuckin suck.

They’re a whitey pretending to be Native American for style points on the internet. You’re putting on this costume so that you can pretend to be oppressed now that PoC have taken over tumblr, which is a slap in the face to PoC, especially Natives.

Here is a link to a screenshot of their website where it clearly states they are Spanish-born. Spanish as in being from Spain. Another link to a screenshot where she claimed to be born in Barcelona for inked magazine. But their birth record (click here) says they were born in California.

—

They claimed to be Cherokee but now are saying that they’re Nahua/Mexica and Yaqui… What happened to being Cherokee? BITCH WHERE did it go?

She said that her family lives on reservations that apparently don’t even exist (credit).

invalidated pansexuality (credit)

They started up The Leelah Project to lure people into giving her money that was supposed to go towards providing care packages to trans people. Very few of the donations made it out, about one or two people have said they have received packages out of the many who have made requests. (credit) She’s most likely keeping items she likes for herself and keeping cash donations for herself.

Multiple people have requested packages from their project that didn’t get them. Apparently they told somebody that they were going to send them stuff but didn’t (credit).

Here is a way for you to find out that the charity isn’t real.

They used somebody’s death to embezzle over ten grand that is fucked.

—

Said that their frightened dog was more important than people (specifically veterans) suffering with ptsd (credit), which my mom has (my mother was in this airforce, has been through several traumatic incidence when she was in the aifroce and after, and has been strangled and almost killed by a family member). Fuck you. I would consider this making fun of people with ptsd and saying that you’re dog is more important isn’t funny or cute. Yes, this was probably something that wasn’t said out of ill will or malice but there’re certain topics you don’t touch when you’re trying to be funny.

—

Most likely lied about being a nurse (credit). I searched different variations of her name in the engine provided in the credit link and nothing came up.

Here is the post where they made this claim.

—

Said she was working at NASA when she just took a one time tour there (credit). All she does to “prove” that she works there is wear a lanyard. I’m gonna go buy a bvb lanyard at hot topic and tell everybody that I joined the band. They’ll believe me because I have a lanyard.

—

They claims to be paid well (link here)

Yet they’re constantly asking for donations. (credit to the person who pointed this out) and here is a screencap of her donate button located on her blog

—

They might have said (i’m not sure if she actually did bc i haven’t looked for this particular post i’m going off of what another person said. I wouldn’t be surprised if this were true and quite frankly I believe it) not to objectify them because they are not a woman, implying that hey it’s okay to objectify women just not non-binary people and if I was a woman you would be able to objectify me. (credit)

—

Also there was this ugly ass post that just bugged the fuck out of me. (credit)

Their selfies literally get thousands of notes (check for yourself they range from 1k-29k notes this one has over 200,000), they claim to have over 100,000 followers, and this post itself has 1k+ notes. Why are you saying this? Why do you need more attention? Just because somebody doesn’t want to reblog a photo of your fake ass doesn’t mean that they hate bisexual non-binary people. Honestly. Why. Did. You. Need. To. Make. This.

Here’s proof that they claim to have 100,000 followers btw.

Just take a look at this text post. (You need to go to the reblog page it to see the description but it’s worth it)

—

This has to do with the NAS/nurse job they said they had/have.

But why would your mom be worried about your tattoos keeping you from a job if you work at NASA and are a nurse.

—

Another thing, it’s sketch af that after getting called out, she privated her instagram account. Most likely an attempt to keep further evidence of lying away from the people blasting her.

if u wanna reblog photos of a beautiful african-american and cherokee non binary lord then go through the angel haze tag on tumblr and reblog their face

Happy Pride Month! Don't forget that the founder of Pride is a bisexual woman, Brenda Howard aka Mother of Pride, who organized the first pride parade. Don't forget that two of the most key figures in LGBT liberation were Marsha P Johnson, a black trans woman, and Sylvia Rivera, a puerto rican trans bi woman. Don't forget that the person to start the fight against the police at stonewall was Stormé DeLarverie, a butch and gnc biracial lesbian.
