> supposed space for transmascs to come forward and share stories of their abuse, as a parallel to transfem voices project... only allowed if the abuser or offender in the story is tma

> transmascs who come forward with stories of being abused by tmes, by cis men overwhelmingly, have their voices ignored

> op goes on a crazy rant about how the woman behind the transfem voices project (hereby referred to as tvp) isn't respecting pronouns, which op claims are he/she. no misgendering ever occurred, op was only referred to by correct pronouns, she was just mad that there was a "he" bias.

> before and during this entire meltdown, no pronouns are posted in ops bio. it wasn't until hours after the fact that op finally updated his bio to say simply "she/he"

> claims to be nonbinary bigender, doesn't put pronouns in bio day one, waits until after his meltdown over a literal nothingburger

> op turns off anons and submissions. claims hes being sent gore and pictures of dead dogs, something that was famously sent to transfeminists for years by kiwifarmers.

> doesn't know that she can turn off asks with media.

> at this point, no transmascs can submit their voices

> he starts going to reddit, screenshotting posts only where trans women are the villains in stories that range from "i broke up with my trans girlfriend because she wouldn't fuck me, here's every reason why she's actually evil" to "r/asklegal, i had sex with a tranny but then i regretted it because i think its gross. can i murder him (sic) or accuse him of rape?"

> most of the people telling these stories are not transmasc. most are cis. many are trans women. in the case of trans women talking about their abuse from other trans women, they feel conflicted and not comfortable with their experiences being misconstrued into hate against transfems.

> all these reddit stories are posted without the knowledge or consent of anyone who originally posted them

> blog is suspiciously made the exact same day that tvp closes submissions for the creators mental health, something that was known by a kiwifarms thread on her and other transfeminists

> op is no sending asks to himself, congratulating herself while refusing to post anything that could contain so much of a crumb of supposed "transmasc positivity". only non anons are from obvious transmisogynists who celebrate the DARVO behavior on display

> even other transandrobros are sick of her shit

im almost certain that transmascvoicesproject is made by a kiwifarms user, made specifically and solely to demonize trans women and call them rapists so he can incite "trans panic" attacks.

given that the lolcow thread is almost entirely dedicated to this topic, i think we can officially say this is fully confirmed

tired of cannibalism as a metaphor for love or sex. can we get into cannibalism as a metaphor for colonization.

1. Europeans using Egyptian mummies as medicine

2. The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Vincent Woodard

3. "Abolitionists turned the tables on Europeans by accusing them of being cannibals when they ate sugar tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves."

4. Zombies (which I would class as cannibals, since they were human and need to eat humans to live) have a root in Haitian folklore and represented enslavement.

adding that, if you can find it, cannibal culture by deborah root is about exactly this. the way the white western world is a hungry, destructive force that cannibalizes non-white cultures and creates wealth and status through the cannibal colonization of those cultures.

here's the intro

i almost think there's an essay in bell hooks' black looks about this too? yes! just checked, there's an essay called "eating the other"

The reason why so many of y'all's feminism sucks is because you still believe deep down in your hearts that there are only two kinds of people in the world: precious, ethereal, fragile dollthings called "women", and violent, lustful, rage-fueled apes called "men". Until you throw that idea away, 3rd-grade-tier "girls rule boys drool, girls are princesses and boys are stinky :(" is as feminist as we'll ever get-- and I hope it's obvious that that's lightyears away from the bare minimum of where we need to be.

nonbinary-wrath-month

I don't know how I'm supposed to explain to ostensibly trans-friendly feminists that "women are beautiful soft things made of glass, men are obsessed with violence and sex" is exactly what the patriarchy wants you to believe. Patriarchy wants you to believe that being a woman and/or having a vagina (patriarchy generally believes those two things are synonymous) makes one shatter on impact with reality. It makes you easier to control if you are scared shitless of the other half of the population, and it makes you more compliant with your lot in life if you believe it is in the nature of the other half of the population to rape and kill rather than realise those were choices those individual rapists and murderers made. There is no way to make gender essentialism progressive and feminist, because it is one of patriarchy's tools of subjugation. Stop trying to make it progressive.

And I can scream all of that from the rooftops over and over again, and what I hear in reply is "Trans men really are men because no woman would ever decide to become an inherently evil repugnant rapist ape", and "You're so right. Trans women are women because they too are pretty delicate little objects I can fuck", and "You're non-binary? So are you fucktoy non-binary or sexpest non-binary?", and my patience runs ever thinner.

happy juneteenth! you need to watch the film Sing Sing (2023). take some time out of your day to center Black stories and get more prison abolitionist Now while you're at it.

Based on the real-life Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at Sing Sing Maximum Security Prison, the film centers on a group of incarcerated men involved in the creation of theatrical stage shows through the program. It stars professional actors Colman Domingo, Sean San José and Paul Raci, alongside many real-life formerly incarcerated men who were themselves alumni of the program during their incarceration, including Clarence "Divine Eye" Maclin and Jon-Adrian "JJ" Velazquez.

This impactful film is dedicated to the RTA members who have made it home and those still inside.
