Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

[sleepymccoy]

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

[aggressivelybicaptainamerica]

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.

thank you for spreading our words and treating our culture with respect.

[kill-jar-dyke]

make the transfem that's bigger and taller than you feel cute and safe or I'll fucking kill you btw

[bitemarkbait]

One thing about me is you will never find me advocating for men's entitlement to lesbian spaces

[lyra-gutters]

saying that trans women and transfems belong in lesbian spaces is way more transgressive and needed than saying trans men and transmascs belong in lesbian spaces

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

As a trans women, femboys feel like an grotesque parody of me.

Every aspect of the identity is appropriated from trans women but put in an easily digestible cisgender package.

The term started as a gooner term to degender trans women in hentai.

Transfem characters like Bridget are still referred to as femboys in porn circles, just real like trans women are called femboys or ladyboys in those circles.

Sissification hentai includes the growth of breasts while reimaging transition as a punishment for pathetic men abd still managing to reduce them to just men in women's lingerie.

A femboy on facebook, after being told Bridget is a trans woman, told me that trans is a slur made to insult femboys.

As a cultural artifact, a femboy is a trans woman robbed of anything that a cisgender audience would struggle to fetishize.

When I hear the word femboy, I hear a slur. When I think of femboys, I think of at best a tragically unrealized trans woman and at worse a malicious parody of my identity.

I will be called closed minded and something-phobic for having this opinion.

[yersidoll]

"Ohh but femboy is just an aesthetic."

This shit has history and history is important. A lot of this was primarily online terminology back in the day so a lot of people will try to pretend it never happened because they can reliably assume someone won't look that deep into it because as it stands internet history is hard to study (thx cloud storage/cloudflare/ai/Microsoft) so pretty fucking please can we not pretend that femboy is this innocent term with no fucked up history aimed specifically at trans women?

you are white before you are trans and i feel like some of y'all forget that

Saying this with all the love in my heart, "Trans" is not a magical title that erases all social biases and discriminations you hold in your mind the moment you transition.

You have to actually ACTIVELY unlearn all that shit. You can actually be trans AND hold TERF and racist beliefs, it is in fact very easy.

Read studies and essays, Engage with the works of other minorities, Don't think you're just better by virtue of losing *some* privilege.

This is why Pride is not just a party. It's a joyful celebration, but it's also a pointed and colourful two-finger salute to a world that stood back whilst so many of us died. And we'll never go quietly, never again.

My roommate is transmasc. We were just talking about their reluctance to use the men's bathroom even as they "pass" more and more as a man, which is starting to cause people to give them concerning looks when they use the women's. They said they still use the women's because they feel more comfortable there. Which is fine, we shouldn't have gendered bathrooms anyway. But I told them "you might not feel as safe when you eventually get 'accused' of being a trans woman in the women's bathroom." To which they replied "oh, I'll lust lift my shirt and show them my mastectomy scars. That'll prove I belong in there."

Oh but "everyone is subjected to transmisogyny," right?

This is the point of TME/TMA. This is why non-transfeminine people aren't subjected to transmisogyny.

I can't fall back on my AGAB to "prove I belong" in women's spaces.

[hoodiegal]

"if someone confronts me about being a trans person in the wrong bathroom, i'll just expose myself to them" is an incredibly TME thing to say

"Fascism"—New Federal Rule Would Require Federal Funding Recipients To Deny Trans People Exist

The rule could have heavy impacts towards trans people across society.

Last week, the Trump administration quietly released a sweeping new federal rule that would use funding threats to force institutions across the country to reject transgender people. The 400-page proposed regulation would codify the administration's anti-trans executive orders into binding federal policy, imposing a blanket prohibition on federal funds going toward "gender ideology"

The proposed rule, formally titled "Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance," rewrites the government-wide framework governing all federal grants across every agency. Among its most consequential provisions, it requires that before a federal grant recipient can receive money, the award must pass a "pre-issuance review" conducted by a political appointee—not a career expert or peer reviewer—to ensure it is "consistent with applicable law, Federal agency priorities, and the national interest." The regulation explicitly instructs these appointees to screen for "denial by the recipient of the sex binary in humans or the notion that sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic." [...] An institution that acknowledges transgender people exist—through its policies, its training, its healthcare, its bathroom access, its HR procedures, its name-change processes—could be deemed to "deny the sex binary" or to “support the notion that sex is mutable” and have its federal funding blocked.

Importantly, the gender ideology prohibition has no age limitation—hospitals could be targeted not just for providing care to minors but for providing gender-affirming care to adults, because prescribing hormone therapy to a transgender patient of any age could be deemed promoting the belief that "sex is a chosen or mutable characteristic."
