If staff reformed the ban system to stop banning trans women and used the resulting good will to re-introduce pornography, this site would become a juggernaut. It would swallow Twitter whole.
I don’t think I’d be able to actually be qualified/good enough to get a museum job, but if there were a UBI and a big museum near me I might hang around there and help
i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.
if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig
I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.
The sexuality of a police officer is cop.
The gender of a police officer is cop.
When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.
If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.
I dunno, guys
I want to become a soldier/cop when I get older, but with how many people having been hating on it, I feel like I could genuinely get more dangerous threats if I say that I genuinely went through with it and went to a Youth Cadet Academy... (which i'm about to)
It's simply conflicting, as I've dreamt of being a cop and/or a soldier since I was little and having the ultimate honour of having my two last names to wear on my chest is the honour I want to wear. But I'm not so sure on how I can do that, if my choice will cause other people to feel free enough to call me a "pig."
If I can't become a cop or a soldier, what else can I become? I don't know what else to do, as I've always wanted to prove to my family that I could do it too, that I could be like my grandpa and wear a silver medal.
I will be blunt. Those are both professions where you sign up to participate in incredible violence against mostly innocent people, with a few possibly legitimate targets for force thrown in there. But the violence you might participate in can be so extreme that it defines people's life experiences forever after - assuming they very to have a life.
That can, should, and likely will have reputational impacts for you.
But if the thought of those reputational impacts is the most striking thing for you, and not the enough of the actions you'll be expected to take against others that will *earn* the moniker "pig"? Then I think you're going about this wrong.
If you become a cop, you will be joining the most prolific armed robbery gang in the entire United States by a wide margin. Police use a technique called civil asset forfeiture to steal things from people, often including cash and vehicles, without any declaration of a crime and with a very difficult process for the victim to get it back, which they often don't. If you join the cops you are going to be expected to participate in civil asset forfeiture, or support cops who do, and you will become one of the faces of the greatest armed robbery gangs in the world, for which, yes, some people will call you pig.
And you will be expected to support all of these abuses and more, including nakedly illegal ones, because police whistleblowers are universally retaliated against. Some of them are murdered and the murderers get away with it. And there is such an enormous glut of things to whistle blow about within police forces, everything from unethical overtime practices to prisoner rights violations to coercive interrogations to sexual violence towards prisoners (especially trans prisoners) to the simple civil asset forfeiture I mentioned earlier. So if you go into that job and you come out anyway other than disgraced and with your pension stripped and you and your family threatened because you turned whistleblower, yes there are many people whom you will have earned the title of pig.
From 2000 and 2019 Cops Seized $69 Billion From People, Most of Whom Were Not Even Charged with a Crime
Whistleblower laws have advanced in public and private sectors, but protections for police who report illegal or unethical behavior lag far
In the military, a full quarter of all women soldiers and 2% of men are raped by their comrades, and this is almost entirely covered up at every level. Successful prosecution and action taken about these matters is incredibly rare. It's much more difficult to get information on the right at which US soldiers rape civilians and enemy combatants, but everywhere US soldiers are stationed there are accusations of rape and cover-ups of those rapes where US soldiers are moved out of the jurisdiction to avoid facing local justice. There's been a small handful of successful convictions over the last few years, but out of thousands of accusations and even more kept silent out of fear.

If you join the military it is statistical guarantee that you will be working with both ongoing rape victims and their active rapists, whether you pay enough attention to find out or not. And handling this by the books in a way that won't get you a dishonorable discharge will result in no protection and no justice.
This is without even addressing the actual violence the US performs, especially right now. I am talking about purely the moral cost of what the military demands you be cool with and what sexually violent crimes against civilians it will defend its soldiers from.
So yeah, you take those path, some people will call you a pig and spit. If you decide you want to wear those symbols with pride anyways, that's your call. But now you know why some people spit on those same symbols.
tme, saw my friend get bullied out of a TTRPG group for speaking about her experiences n frustrations with transmisogyny, still furious about it. they turned on her so fucking quickly and she didnt even do anything wrong, she literally bent over backwards not to cause a stink and then they STILL sought her out in private to explain to her why what she did was "wrong", several times and through several people.
no matter how loud we were and how many times we told them what they were doing was wrong, cruel and disgusting, they thought that we just "didn't understand" and that somewhere, there was a correct combination of words that would make us less transfeminist.
and the thing is!!! before it all went to shit!! I'd literally talked and complained about transmisogyny!! several times, even. but it was brushed off and everyone would proceed as normal. but the second a trans woman talked about the exact same fucking thing they went completely mask off in less than a day. im still reeling because i guess it was the first time i saw it happen firsthand in a personal setting. i guess it was the two-facedness of it all and the refusal to take any responsibility after the fact. it was so disgusting
being a trans woman will reveal to you the horrible secret B-sides of kind, ordinary people
