!!!! This is the heart of the matter. Now that I am able to read this page... jeez, alot of you ARE straight up lying about Seranos beliefs. Hahaha, come on, you read THIS and decided transandrophobia is an appropriate term to coin? Oh wait, you never actually read the book, did you?

[puppy-girl-gock]

people love to state what julia serano believes and just make up some bullshit so they can win an argument. people love to do this so much that one time she showed up in someone's tweets to be like "what the fuck are you talking about"

Is Gender Only a Construct, Hierarchy, or Political Condition?

A Few Thoughts After Last Week’s Kerfuffle

Apparently this happens often enough that while looking for this article i found another instance of it.

Why Do Helen Lewis, Victoria Smith, and Other “Gender Critical” Activists Lie About My Work?

I have been writing about feminism (and other topics related to sex, gender, sexuality, sexism, and social justice) for about 25 years now.

It's almost as bad as the amount of misrepresentation Judith Butler's work gets. But usually when queers misrepresent Serano's work it's to shut up trans women and when they misrepresent Butler's work it's to shut up trans women.

A woman was shot trying to get past cops and go home yesterday. I believe she's at the hospital now but we haven't received an update.

This shit is appalling. There is no being non violent with these pigs and anyone telling you differently is a pig too.

Religious girl: thank you God for inventing the vibrator

Atheist girl: I'm so glad science and engineering have progressed to the point where we can manufacture vibrators

Liberal girl: thank you free market for creating the supply to meet the demand for vibrators

Feminist girl: the vibrator has freed us from the need for men

Radical feminist girl: the vibrator is still a phallic implement

Marxist girl: actually it was historical forces that freed women

Marxist feminist girl: the vibrator serves as synecdoche for the entire process of industrialisation and proletarianisation that has laid the groundwork for the liberation of women

Reactionary girl: the vibrator was created to destroy traditional heterosexual relations

Idealist girl: the vibrator was invented because of feminism

Anarchist girl: I have no idea how the vibrator fits into a schema of history

Primitivist girl: I masturbate with a smooth river stone

Lesbian girl: hey while we're all in the same room I have a suggestion

Agnostic girl: nobody knows why I just orgasmed

Funnily enough, the last two have names.

this is a statement from victryena, a trans woman of color who was mass harassed by (mostly) white trans women on twitter for reposting a protest sign saying "white trans people are oppressors too". the sign itself was a response to septembersister, a black trans woman and refugee in canada, having her speech suppressed at the vancouver transgender march protest. here is her full speech, made later. i am platforming them because they need to be heard, and the content of their words is urgently relevant to the current state of transfeminist discourse.

'Why doesn't transracialism exist if both race and gender are socially constructed" is such a funny copout because yeah one can change race depending on location. I'm Coloured in South Africa (non-black) and Black in the West. I change race depending on where I am and arguably depending on who I am with and how I'm being perceived.

It's also why even though there are white Latines, they are very often racialised as being simply "Latine" as a kind of racial identity in the western world.

[khoesib]

Obviously, this is different to being trans but it's an example of the fluidity of racial identity. Even ethnicity is something malleable, bendable and can change depending on where, when and who you are. Gender being a kind of 'social skin' just means unlike race and ethnicity, it's reflective of the internal and psychological rubbing up against the external social world.

It’s a little bit more of a bummer than most citizen science projects, but I wanted to give a shoutout to dBird, where you can report dead or injured birds throughout the USA to provide data for NYC Audubon. We might not all have time for a daily eBird checklist, but hopefully you don’t come across as many dead birds - if you do, the whole process took me under a minute to report a sighting. There’s less than 2000 birds reported for 2024 as of this post (which isn’t a lot, given how many birds die annually), so if and when you sadly find a dead bird, think of dBird’s conservation efforts and send in your report!

[todaysbird]

This project is still active in 2026!

most western socialists have a very low level of socialist consciousness. they've learned that capitalism is exploitative and unstable, and how a socialist society could function better, but the idea of socialism they have in their mind is one of advanced socialism: there's no state, no poverty, and no money. it doesn't include the necessary adjustments to being under constant siege from the capitalist world. it doesn't include the problems that any society must face as it develops its economy in the middle of the global capitalist system. it doesn't take into account the history of the countries involved but demands instead that they meet the socialist's pure vision. they take their ideal and compare it to real world socialist projects, which are still early in their development, and reject the project for not matching up to their vision. the construction of socialism is messy and happens in real countries, with complex histories and complex current challenges. demanding purity means rejecting the only real world struggles for socialism that actually exist

yk i think the fundamental problem is that transmascs dont believe that they belong to a different demographic than us transfems. i think its that they still believe in a Trans Community of one demographic - the Trans Demographic, with one unified Trans Experience, rather than that of women and men who share a marginalization

this shows up when transfems make posts for and about other transfems, and invariably transmascs will come along to try and make it about them as well. they dont see it as a womens post, they see it as a Trans post that hasnt mentioned transmascs yet

this also shows up in discussions of transmisogyny. transfems discuss the intersectional bigotry we face and transmascs will get defensive that the conversation centres us and not the Trans Demographic as a whole. this is where "transandrophobia" theory comes in, from transmascs misconstruing transmisogyny as just "transphobia for girls" and insisting there must be a transphobia for boys in return, and to deny "transandrophobia" legitimacy is to deny that transmascs face any transphobia. its morphed into its own transmisogynist violence at this point but its inception was very clearly fueled by the transmasc insecurity over there not being one Trans Experience. transmascs think there has to be a blue version, because they dont conceive of transfems belonging to a different demographic than them

i think no small part of this is that transmasculine transition doesnt force them to reckon with transmisogyny the same way transfeminine transition does. of course, it would be wrong to claim no transfem falls victim to this, but far more transfems do have that reckoning because we are forcibly subjected to transmisogyny. and because transmascs flatten the demographic to just Trans, they believe themselves to have a postion of authority to speak on trans issues without ever being forced to interrogate their inherent transmisogynist biases from living in a transmisogynist society and understand the misogyny within the demographic, and any pushback against them is pushback against the Trans Demographic as a whole

my problem with all of this is that nobody who needs to hear it is going to listen to me, because ultimately were dealing with men, moreover: marginalized men, and men prefer to revel in their power to speak over women and take up space and assume they know best rather than listen to the women in their "community" when we tell them theyre wrong. after all, what reason do transmascs have to think otherwise? i mean, were all faggots in the eyes of the state, right?

i really love this piece - bird window collision deterrents should absolutely be mandatory for large buildings not only in NY, but nationwide. designing architecture to not kill the world around us should be the norm.

[todaysbird]

don’t leave this in the comments!

[lamajaoscura]

If anyone is looking for ideas, Chicago Bird Collision Monitors has done decades of advocacy work in this area and fought for real improvements in saving birds. Their work on lights-out and preventing window strikes have had a big impact on the local ecosystem.

[headspace-hotel]

It should be made a standard part of building codes.

The amount of dead birds I found beside the large windows on my college campus was mind boggling.

teenage girls in fiction: hes so cute i wanna slow dance with him at prom :3 hehe

is it a natural and innate part of humanity or is it some shit they made up in europe

[houndmother]

this is about the colonial enforcement of gender among many other things
