is it crazy to say that the only reason people make jokes like "i bet (conservative male politician) has a grindr account 🤣" or other jokes about republicans being closeted homosexuals is that they think being secretly gay or being a hypocrite is more shameful and worthy of mockery than holding homophobic beliefs

like no matter how you spin it, the punchline is always "i bet theyre gay lol thats weird". even when you try to defend gay people you cant help but to make our existence the butt of the joke

"We're not saying trans men experience no oppression, but they are privileged over trans women because oppression against trans men isn't as severe as against trans women." Even if we took this argument as true- it's not- it would still be a misuse of the word "privilege." Privilege isn't "being less oppressed." Privilege is "benefitting from the oppression of another group." Trans men don't benefit from transphobia, misogyny, or transmisogyny; they are victimized by the former two, and the latter is a combination of the former two things that victimize them. Trans men are not privileged over trans women, even if we were to concede that they weren't "as oppressed" as trans women.

do people realise that being disabled in a community of other disabled people that you will know someone who was killed or assaulted or abused for being disabled? hell even if you aren't disabled and you just exist in society. my friend's cousin was a little person and got attacked in the street for no fucking reason and died. if you talk to people with disabled family members you'll hear the same sort of stories over and over again. and people are getting way too comfortable these days dismissing ableism as just some sort of rhetoric. like "yeah it's bad optics to say it but-" and go on to say autistic people are really annoying or mobility aids take up too much space or scars really scare them so they should be covered or some other shit like. get a grip. it's not revolutionary or "saying what we're all thinking" by being ableist. that's actually the norm.

You know, there's been a HUGE pushback against people who are uncomfortable with sex (not pro making sex illegal, just not wanting to see or hear about it all the time!) and a stereotype that those who aren't interested in it see everyone else as these awful sinful perverts that do nothing but fuck and talk about fucking all the time and have zero other personality just because they talk about what is a natural part of life for many people

But also those people exist and the proof is in my coworkers on Mondays and Tuesdays. The 75 year old woman? Gets me. The other two though? GRAPHIC details for hours every day. Talking about how they like to fuck, how good at it they are, who they like to fuck, how often they fuck people, emotional manipulation they engage in regarding sex, etc etc. Weirdest part is that one of them is normally really pleasant to work with, and brings up sex in a more reasonable and work-appropriate degree without the other person there

Anyway the point of this post is that these people do exist, do try to pressure you into talking about things you're uncomfortable with or convince you that you need to have sex or find the right person to be in a relationship with and frankly it's deeply unfair that people convinced themselves that asexual, sex-repulsed, and more people were just making this up because they're hyper-religious puritans who hate queer people and want to eliminate all forms of self expression

if vampires existed in real life i think there would be shady companies advertising "organic blood" sourced from "willing donors" who are coincidentally all poor people being paid like $5 per blood donation. and like haughty vegan vampires who only drink a synthetic blood drink thats brewed in a way thats actively worse for the enviroment. and radical traditionalist vampires who go on tiktok and claim that true alpha chads have to drain and kill people and anyone who leaves their victims alive is a liberal cuck. enter the world of hypothetical insufferable vampire politics with me.

the more educated you get on fat issues the more you realize that almost everything that supposedly justifies fatphobia is actually complete bullshit. most of the health conditions that are treated as almost divine punishment for being fat (like heart issues and diabetes) are being revealed to actually *cause weight gain* instead of being caused *by* it. this goes for social 'consequences' of being fat, too. is that "neckbeard" redditor actually fat because he spends all his time online, or is it that he spends all of his time online because he's not treated like a person if you can see that he's fat, so the internet is his best option? everything is less accessible to fat people. seats on busses, at restaurants, and even at things like amusement parks, are frequently too small to comfortably sit in for a fat person. people treat you worse if you're fat, or even try to avoid you entirely. you get judged for doing leisure activities, or even for exercising at a public gym, (which proves the claims of trying to motivate you to get fit are bullshit btw) getting filmed and laughed at, posted online for your body to be a punchline. if you want to be progressive or body positive you *need* to be examining your beliefs. oppressed people are routinely forced into positions that, from the outside, may justify the narrative about these people. black folk are pushed into poverty, so that crime is often their only means of survival, enforcing the idea that black folk are criminals. queer folk are made unsafe in public so that we use codes to identify each other, enforcing the idea that queer folk are trying to secretly seduce people to be gay. and yes, fat folk are forced indoors and online so that they can enforce the narrative that we are lazy shut-ins.

When she says it had a smurf village gender ratio, it's possibly even funnier and sadder than you could have thought. The article doesn't specify, but I keep hearing that out of 8000 users, less than 50 appeared to be women.

I think it should be considered a form of degendering to try to divorce trans people from their gendered histories. My gender doesn't make sense without the fact that I was a little boy, or something like it, before I was a girl and a woman. If you were always a girl, thats awesome, but a lot of people project their dysphoria onto me when I try to talk about my own fucking life. If you think talking about having been a boy makes me less of a woman, that is degendering.

basically if you're ever telling any trans person they need to shut up and that they're taking up too much space talking about their own gendered experience I do need you to remember that cis people exist in this world who never ever have to compete for this kind of discussion space. their existence & experience is taken for granted. no trans person can ever take up too much space, no trans person will ever be too loud, as long as cisgenderism is still considered the norm. we do not need fewer of any type of trans person - we need more of all of us, everywhere, & we need more willingness to listen. more voices makes for a more solid foundation of experience. more hands for lighter work.
