checked tumblr user pure's blog for the first time in a while and wow they fully went mask off. wall-to-wall talking about "males" and "male socialization" and "worshipping the phallus" and the inherent pain of being female-bodied. notes full of reblogs from urls like "downwithgendercult". who could have ever seen this one coming
Whenever i get told that trans women need to stop infighting, i think about how a former transmasc friend told me - after i was sexually harassed by a man twice my age - that "at least we know you're hot and pass," and it was brushed off as "gender-affirming misogyny."
Would the same attitudes be held if i made jokes about "gender-affirming misandry"? Well, uh, no. These went over very poorly.
ICE is planning on equipping all of their officers with body cams. Not to hold them accountable when they kill people but "for the department's best interest". Now obviously body cams don't keep pigs from killing anyone, not really, but with the way this is phrased I cannot help but think that the sole purpose of these cameras will be to generate propaganda for the trump regime. I hate it here.
No, it's worse. Body cams allow officers to record every person they interact with, logging your face and the time/date of the interaction into a database, allowing them to start keeping a record of who complies easily, and who resists. Modern policing is dragnets all the way down.

it should make you angrier how few black transfems are on this site let alone active
like i feel insane. why do so few people notice this disparity? so many black transfems have fled, deactivated, or been terminated. the few who are left are usually getting targeted by harassment campaigns, denied autonomy, treated as mere scapegoats, and are often forced to stay in this murderously hostile environment for mutual aid reasons. why do we not notice this more???
I have a lot to say on this tbh but more than anything I want to say that as a Black doll who’s been active on a lot of social media sites, theres a lot of transfemmes of color, especially Black transfemmes, who got banned or deactivated or just stopped logging onto a site before I could get other contact info for them, who I now just sit here wondering if they’re still alive or not. I’ve tried looking for some of them on other platforms and rarely do I find them.
I really hope theyre all still ok.
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?
its really convenient that the normal reaction to being violated and scrutinized and disbelieved for a sustained period of time is to just lose the ability to maintain consideration and cautiousness with one's words. i bet making a woman go fucking insane and pretending it happened for no reason feels soooo good when you're a man
you owe all transfems abnormal grace and 900 dollars.
A new study shows how pickup artist influencers use smart glasses to create content, and the connection between covert recording and harm.
Instagram is full of first-person videos of men harassing women in public. They follow a similar script: A man walks up to a woman or group of women in a store, sitting outside a cafe, or walking home from a bar, and delivers a pickup line. The women almost always nervously laugh, react with barely-veiled disgust, or say "fuck off" while he stalks her or refuses to walk away. The men recording these videos capture them with Meta's smart glasses, which are designed to discreetly capture interactions like these and upload the videos to Meta's platforms where the women in the videos are turned into content for "pickup artist" accounts.
New research reveals this ecosystem works, and how pickup artists (PUA) influencers are using Meta's products, including its smart glasses and social media platforms, to perpetuate a culture of harassment against women.
[...]
"The more surreptitious the filming seemed, the researchers found, the more serious the harassment. "The data reveals a clear correlation between the 'covertness' of the filming modality and the severity of the harassment," they wrote. "This combination of first-person perspective and device concealment confirms that the means of production remain largely clandestine, facilitating a condition of low awareness among subjects and reinforcing the deceptive nature of wearable-mediated capture."
Here's what they look like
That's crazy, I would not be able to tell those apart from regular glasses. I'm not typically fixated on a person's glasses in conversations anyway as someone who wears glasses
I might've lost my powers and turned into a little girl, but I'm still myself!
americans think “yank” is a slur and that brits are appropriating it
yanks are so oblivious to the real reasons that everybody hates them that they have to gaslight themselves into thinking that words like "yank" are supposed to refer to white people instead of usamericans. like as if every country in the world doesn't have racialised minorities in... yanks truly believe themselves the only country with an indigenous people, the only country with Black people.
at some point, you have to recognize that the detrans grifters who cry about how t made them bald and spend their sad pathetic adult lives pretending like they were completely unaware of the effects of masculinizing hormones and treat trans people like they're all diseased or mentally ill children who cant think for themselves, and the roided out cismen with full beards who have no intention of actually transitioning but say shit like "im gonna play wnba now haha" to make a mockery of trans women even though you know for a fact that if you ever used she/her for them they'd punch your face for emasculinizing them, are the exact same type of person.
The popular idea that women are *allowed* to express more emotion than men because they're stereotyped as overly emotional is so fucking stupid when you actually think about it for 2 seconds. It's like saying poc are allowed to be angry. Dude
Toxic masculinity's emotional repression has a slightly different flavor to it but can we be so fucking honest. Every man I've known will throw a hissy fit at a moment's notice they just don't like having emotionally vulnerable friendships with each other because they're scared of looking gay. Which is their own fault for being homophobic. Damn I wish men weren't allowed to talk about their feelings stfu
Trans women and transfems with crowdfunding campaigns for medical needs are deliberately targetted for mass reporting to cut off one of the few sources of income in an attempt to passively kill them. If you participate in harassment campaigns, spread callout posts, or follow and defend people who do, you are complicit in attempted murder.
maybe the cold and squirming thing from beyond the stars isn't in the mood for tentacle rape this evening. maybe it'd like to bottom for a change. have you considered that
transmasc user fails to comprehend the joke of post about transmisogyny in an extremely condescending way. many such cases
returning to this brilliant post bc ive been getting really into centaurs lately for normal reasons and im really noticing that this is a trend there too. presumably this pervades in many terato spaces but im not extraordinarily active in many of those. anyway it’s already exhausting lol, it really hit me when i saw a random post that was like “centaur gf” and one of the things was “big spoon obviously” and it reallyyyy made me pause and go holdddd on lol. obviously centaurs are pregnant with metaphor but omfg maybe the huge horse girl wants to be cuddled too bitch. it happens with werewolves too and it’s just so obvious. why would a girl with a wolfcock exist if not to breed. why would a girl with a horsecock exist. and like, god, the most frustrating thing abt this is is that i know it probably seems ridiculous from the point of anyone who’s not a trans girl lol.
tl:dr; if you have a tentacle monster gf, or a centaur gf or a werewolf gf, you better be doing crazy shit to her prostate. and hold her. and get her flowers. you all treat any remotely monstrous woman as a phallus and it’s annoying!! come up with something else!
Who needs sympathy from white queers
It's funny how this US chauvinist keeps shitting on the IOF, but remains ever so satisfied over their participation in the US imperial war machine
I'd straight up need more context for this. From what I've seen of the IDF they think of their enemies pretty much like literal cockroaches to be squashed. They mime gun violence with their children to get them used to the idea of killing early. Like yes I acknowledge that the effects in both cases are very similar, but I'm skeptical of the claim that falling for the sleight-of-hand style propaganda about 'greatness' that America does is truly equivalent to what's going on in the IDF. Also the U.S. has a code of conduct (ostensibly) and (afaik) teaches to default to de-escalation. Does the IDF do that? X Doubt. In your haste to rightfully call out the military industrial complex, don't make yourself look like an idiot.
Your average US american chauvinist ^
