[TW: anti-Islamic violence] “The only fucking liberation that a hijabi needs is the freedom of knowing she won’t be bludgeoned to death or her place of worship during the Holy Month won’t be charred and terrorized by hate groups. Believe me, between a piece of cloth on my head and having to fear for my life for simply existing the way my faith requests of me, the latter is a much harsher reality. It is my choice to wear a hijab and I have valid reasons for doing so. I’m not a docile, infantilized creature who can’t decide what’s best for me. The hijab gives me a sense of security. It’s the same concept when women wear glasses to avoid eye contact or headphones when they don’t want to be talked to, but since its connected to a religion overrun by brown people, of course it has stigma attached to it. What is it about these westerners, particularly the feminists, who are supposed to be working for the freedom and bodily autonomy of all women, not just the ones that look, live and believe what they do, that they can’t seem to grapple with these facts? As much as we scream and cry and try to rationalize with them, they refuse to hear us and I genuinely don’t understand why. How is coercing a woman out of her hijab any less oppressive than coercing her into one?
