I am simply saying that cohost is owned by trans people, that I have the same user name, and I would love more friends there.

Oh, and porn is allowed too.

the combo of ‘idk why this site has a reputation of transmisogyny’ with the follow up ‘we had employed a moderator who took bribes from neo-nazis and terfs to ban trans women’ is honestly all time

[slog420]

what’s not connecting for you dude

[transfaguette]

it is crazy how “if this childrens show doesn’t kill their villain at the end it’s irredeemable media” became such a popular opinion here. like people were calling steven universe fascist apologia. and to be clear I don’t even think that would be the case for non childrens media, either. perhaps holding every single story up to the same standard of “does it follow the acceptable narrative path or is it evil propaganda” isn’t the most anti-fascist thing, either. maybe.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

"you are morally obligated to murder your enemies" is also perhaps not the most anti-fascist thing

Experienced several previously undiscovered emotions today because my (conservative) mom said being gay is a choice because SHE likes women too but she simply chooses not to acknowledge it

The way that we learn about Helen Keller in school is an absolute outrage. We read “The Miracle Worker”- the miracle worker referring to her teacher; she’s not even the title character in her own story. The narrative about disabled people that we are comfortable with follows this format- “overcoming” disability. Disabled people as children. Helen Keller as an adult, though? She was a radical socialist, a fierce disability advocate, and a suffragette. There’s no reason she should not be considered a feminist icon, btw, and the fact that she isn’t is pure ableism- while other white feminists of that time were blatent racists, she was speaking out against Woodrew Wilson because of his vehement racism. She supported woman’s suffrage and birth control. She was an anti-war speaker. She was an initial donor to the NAACP. She spoke out about the causes of blindness- often disease caused by poverty and poor working conditions. She was so brave and outspoken that the FBI had a file on her because of all the trouble she caused.

Yet when we talk about her, it’s either the boring, inspiration porn story of her as a child and her heroic teacher, or as the punchline of ableist, misogynistic jokes. It’s not just offensive, it’s downright disgusting.

[roachpatrol]

the reason the story stops once hellen keller learns to talk is no one wanted to listen to what she had to say

how’s that for a fucking punchline

[cookinguptales]

Another part of the story that is often conveniently omitted is that Anne Sullivan, the “miracle worker” in question, was also a visually impaired woman (and abolitionist) who faced her own struggles finding accessible education. That was why she was able to teach Helen Keller and connect her with resources that would allow her to flourish in academia. When Helen Keller was railing against poverty-induced diseases that caused blindness, she was talking about things like trachoma which was what had caused her friend’s vision loss.

The fact that Sullivan is often portrayed as able-bodied in retellings of their story is indicative of the narrative that is most comfortable for an ableist society: that accessibility and equality are gifts bestowed upon the disabled by able-bodied heroes. Disabled children are never taught that they have the power to lift each other up, and that’s a crying shame.

hey, a while ago you made a post to the effect of "tumblr's perpetual marking of transfems' posts as mature isn't due to malice but incompetence. that is worse" and I'm wondering if you still think that's true. I agreed at the time but idk it's been harder and harder to believe staff could be as incompetent wrt moderation as they have been idk

as a wise naruto once said, believe it. with the most recent case study, moira predstrogen's account getting nuked, it's really clear that there was a targeted mass reporting campaign at work. again, when i blame 'incompetence', i'm not saying that this somehow absolves tumblr staff, i think this site's moderation is incredibly transmisogynistic and the fact that these mass reporting campaigns work (and work on someone who has been targeted by this and succesfully appealed multiple times, no less!) is a catastrophic failure on tumblr's part on every level. but again, it's because of the mass reporting campaign and tumblr not having any functional systems in place to prevent that kind of thing rather than because someone at tumblr HQ was personally like 'hmm, today i, the Tumbling TERF, shall pick a trans woman to ban!'

[txttletale]

like, this is kind of definitionally what it means for transmisogyny to be a structural phenomenon, it doesn't need any one individual agentive bad actor to happen, it can happen as a result of the system functioning as designed!

[txttletale]

txttletale dot tumblr dot com regrets to inform you that the Tumbling TERF was real all along

holy shit lmao. disregard everything i said between this and matt's whining who needs systemic issues when there are, in fact, individual agentive bad actors out here fucking sniping trans women they don't like

[thyrell]

i think its safe to say at this point that staff and photomatt owe the userbase a full disclosure as to what exactly this moderator did, who was affected, and what the company did to undo the actions that they took. anything less is complicity

[tikkunolamresistance]

It was ethnonationalist, facist ideology that killed 6 million Jews in the Holocaust. It was the ignorance of Western nations who refused to listen to the Jewish people as they gleefully reported on all of the Nazis developments leading up to the Holocaust, that killed 6 million Jews. It was white supremacy, eurocentricity, religious extremism, Christocentrism and antisemitism from Medival Europe, hypercapitalism, and ignorance that killed 6 million Jews.

And these same factors are killing Palestinians. History is a loop, a complete circle. Never Again means Never Again for ANYONE.

"Family-friendly" has been a dogwhistle for all kinds of evil horseshit since at LEASE my childhood, 40+ years ago.

Don't fall for it. And don't let pro-LGBT+ people use that language without challenging it, it's a direct fucking quote from our oppressors.
