yeah sure you're not ableist... but are you cool with visible medical devices?
are you gonna be weird about feeding tubes? are you gonna ask invasive questions about catheters and ostomy bags? can you cope with seeing someone give themselves an injection? could you walk up to someone with a tracheostomy and talk to them? how about someone with a central line?
does your disability acceptance extend to people with visible medical devices?
Started playing Pokémon Fire Red, I haven't gotten past the first gym yet but I do have two full odds shinies.
I can't sleep so enjoy my fail at hiding
It's kind of tragic how homophobia affects insecure men.
Like sometimes they want to experiment with a bit of anal and instead of just buying a sex toy and some lube like a normal person, they instead shove random objects up their ass that inevitably get stuck and then they try to get them out by themselves which makes things worse and then they lie to doctors about it and like this all leads to all kinds of extra complications like internal damage, risk of infections, bleeding, the fall of Yugoslavia, etc.
Come on guys, just buy a dildo. It's way safer and it leads to way fewer problems.
Hmm I'm gonna roll perception...this is not an email!?
Every year Fall Out Boy is in my Spotify wrapped. Why? How? I swear I don't listen to that much Fall Out Boy.
I see you, you bastard. You don't fit in. How do you always manage to stick around.
"men don't need to be afraid walking around at night"
Unless they're black
"men make more than women in jobs"
Black men make less than white women on average
"men don't get followed around by people who mean them harm"
Black men are heavily policed and regularly jumped and killed for just walking down the street
"no one tells a man what he can and cannot do with his own body"
Black men are repeatedly assaulted and have their hair forcibly shaved or cut for wearing their hair natural and in culturally important styles. Black men who choose body modifications like tattoos or piercings are branded as thugs. Black men who have children and black men who don't have children are both regarded as players, hounddogs, absent fathers, and baby daddies, as if the logical answer is that no one's first choice of partner and father of their children would ever be a black man.
"no one judges a man's worth based on his clothes"/"a man isn't ever in danger no matter what he wears"
Black men are required to look presentable and professional according to eurocentric standards, push themselves into clothes not made for their bodies, and be highly uncomfortable in their daily lives or else risk 'fitting the profile' or 'matching the description' and getting detained by police AT BEST for the crime of existing in public. Black men wearing comfortable clothes are seen as sloppy, thugs, gangsters, street rats, hood and ghetto.
"no man fears rape"
The rape and sexual assault of black men ties directly to black buck stereotypes and black fetishization to the point where liking a black person or having your dating pool be open to black people is treated like a sexuality much like being gay. People are both threatened by and aroused by our bodies and that leads them to perform extreme acts of violence on us, including rape, SA, coercion, trafficking, and more. Much like how "tranny" and "lesbian" is a porn category, so is Big Black Cock. Sometimes with us featured as the rapist. Sometimes with us featured as the victim. Almost never with us featured as intimate, passionate, loving, tender. Black men are either to be feared and reviled, or to be broken and forced to submit. Direct ties to slavery with white people still getting off to our suffering.
Just say you don't care as much about black people's suffering and go, jesus.
I have privilege because I sometimes pass as a man? Try walking in my shoes for a while. Turns out being a black man vs being a black woman isn't always so different.
I do think it's really interesting that I have a lot of black butches and trans mascs on this post verifying in their tags that yes they've lived both as 'black woman' and as 'black man' and 'black man' is really not the improvement it's advertised to be and in the mean time I have also a bunch of nonblack people and especially white europeans saying this post is stupid and no one who agrees knows anything about what it's like to be a black woman and I'm just wondering out of the two options who do you think is more knowledgeable about what black people go through? 🤔
My nephew was 6 years old when his mother sat him down and explained to him very plainly what happens to black boys and black men who are out at night.
Both of my parents worked in education. My white (passing) mother was a special ed teacher in a middle school. My father was her district's administrator. She was paid more than him. Significantly. They both have Master's Degrees.
My nephew was 13 when Trayvon Martin was killed. His mother asked him to please make sure he came home before the streetlights came on, and if he couldn't make it to not wear a hoodie and certainly don't wear it up. No matter how cold.
My nephew and my father were both pinned down and had their afros shaved/ruined by teachers, people they should have been able to trust. My nephew, my cousins, and more than one of my uncles have had the same happen to their locs. When my mother became pregnant very early in my parents' marriage, no one believed that she actually *wanted* to marry my dad but that she'd accidentally become pregnant and married him to not be ashamed. When my parents adopted my sister who is much darker skinned than my other sister or myself, the assumption was that she was a child from one of dad's previous marriages (he's only ever been married to one woman: my mom) and that my sister was only there because of a custody battle. The first time my dad came to pick me up from school, the office refused to let him in the building and called the police on him for trying to abduct me, because everyone knew my mom was white and the logical conclusion of a black man picking up his black/mixed kid from school was that he was a kidnapper and not that he was my fucking father.
My father arrived home late one night after flying in from Japan and was understandably in comfortable clothes after being exclusively in suits in Japan in the middle of summer for 6 months. Our neighbor saw him pull into the driveway, let himself in the back door... and called the police saying a black man in a hoodie was breaking into our house. We'd lived there at that point for more than a decade. My nephew and I have been followed around in stores for wearing beaters and basketball shorts in the middle of summer. My cousin was harassed by cops while sitting at the bus stop because he had his hood up and was listening to music on his ipod. My uncle was cornered by airport security and ended up missing his flight because someone gave a 'tip' that he 'looked suspicious' in his jeans and a t-shirt.
Every single one of my older black relatives, male and female, have been raped. Every single one. Some of the younger ones too.
This is not a 'what if' post. This is not a 'higher discussion of systemic violence' post. This is a 'stop erasing the experiences of black men because you think there is no way on earth a black man can suffer outside of [just racism]' post.
two years ago I posted this and two years later this still rings true, but I want to draw attention to something:
This is the post that netted me my "reputation" for saying that black women have it better than black men or that black women caused these problems.
This post was made in specifically because of radfem talking points, in direct response to a radfem post I saw and was mad about. Two years later I am seeing white radfems say the same about F1nn5ter. My response is still the same. A: trans women aren't men, B: that's not even true of cis men because marginalized cis men experience all of these things on a regular basis.
No where in this post does this blame black women for anything or say that black women don't experience this- in fact I specifically mention black butches in multiple reblogs and in other posts discussing this exact topic. Black women are frequently forcibly degendered and masculinized, and God forbid a black woman actually be GNC and masculine or transgender because then her risk of violence to be enacted upon her is at an absurd height.
This is a critique of white, radical feminism and how it actively perpetuates racism. Don't get it twisted.
Anyway when I bring up these points with this post, this is the sort of attitude I'm talking about. ALL of these are from a recent post where I am talking about my specific experience as a black trans man and ALL of these are nonblack people taking it upon themselves to give lip service to acknowledging black people are oppressed and then IMMEDIATELY following up with not including black men in their idea of what counts as oppressed.
When I say white radical feminism leaves racially marginalized men out of discussions of their own oppression, this is what I'm talking about.
This was from a post where I said people talk over me frequently and tell me my voice as a black person doesn't matter and I was taught not to tolerate it as a girl and I'm certainly not going to start tolerating it as a man. That people have regarded my presence as a black person as a threat just existing in an area my entire life and I didn't think it was a good thing when I was a black girl and I still don't think it's a good thing as a black man. This was a post about antiblack racism and how it affects me, an entire ass black trans man.
And nonblack people STILL sought to completely erase my perspective off my own post.
Does it hurt, when I point out your racism? Is it uncomfortable to realize that you're not innocent in spreading and perpetuating the same racism that's caused black people to die to violence at astronomical rates? Is it a hard pill to swallow?
Good. Choke.
Since I'm getting a collection of dumbass replies on this again by nonblack people I figured I should remind everyone: THIS IS A POST ABOUT WHITE RADICAL FEMINISM AND HOW IT LEAVES OUT THE EXPERIENCE OF PEOPLE OF COLOR. If you find yourself getting mad because I pointed out that this doesn't work for anyone who isn't white, maybe think about why you're mad instead of putting some bullshit in my notes.
haven't seen anyone do this yet
i will not apologize for the dispatch posting ive been doing the last few days. i will, however, continue to do it.
Drop the Beef?
Link in bio. What will he learn?
Spoilers for episode 3 (plus what I've heard about 4 cause I had work and haven't started it yet.)
Why the fuck can't you argue for them to stay? Or even mention how well people did in the previous episode? I get shit needs to happen but you just accept it? I aced the first shift and I don't even get to mention that they did so well?
Can you imagine starting a new job, being told that you need to that you need to get the team in order, doing well, then on your second day being told you need to fire someone.
WTF. That's so messed up. Either fire them before you hire someone to get into shape or give them a chance to make a difference.
And of course they all start sabotaging each other. What choice do they have? Not like they can just find a new job. Isn't it this or jail?? They're desperate.
I feel like they're setting up the Phoenix program to fail. They don't want the villains to be redeemed. They just want the acknowledgement of them trying.
~ Other gripes ~
Blonde Blazer is a bitch. Clearly leading your character on. Making you deal with their messy break up. Trying to make you hire their ex, even though that means the ex will be under her employment too. Awkward for everyone.
Flambae is clearly starting fires and putting them out for credit. Why hasn't anyone noticed? Oh I know they don't care about the program or what the people do
Why are you not more concerned about losing the pulse thingy. Like your daddy's killer literally admits to wanting it, staged a while schemes for it, and you just shrug off losing it? Brah!
I want to pet Beef. Let me pet that dog. He's there enough. Give me a option to give him a pet, or a scratch. (I gave him cereal in the first episode. I wanna do more!)
I know them so well
Cat pictures are very important to me, and the fact that some accounts on here that post ai generated kitties is very upsetting
Who the fuck shares ai cats? There are real cats out there, people! Go scritch them!!
Real kitties all the way!
Reblog to give the person you reblogged from a good grade in tumblr mutual
Do you want to be politically pure in theory or help your neighbor. Is it fruitless to help your neighbor because there's no Perfect Pure way to do it ?
Honestly I would rather be politically pure. Your neighbors would never help you, so why help them?
Youre who this post is talking about. Individualism and elitism is not going to help the revolution and grassroots activism and mutual aid.
When the pandemic hit this old church lady joined our tattooed queer leftist mutual aid group bc her church soup kitchen closed. We shrugged and told her she was welcome as long as she didn't proselytize.
That woman never gendered me right once, but she shut up about Jesus long enough to feed people next to us bc she cared more about action than ideology. She also had a whole network of other church people who helped contribute $ to ingredients. We provided more and better meals together than in our "correct" silos
That's how any of us get out of any of this
"Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll eat for life."
I don't know about you, but I find it much easier to learn something when I'm not staving.
I'll much rather give him a fish until he learns how to fish on his own.
And if he never learns to fish, well fishing is better with company.
what’s that Trevor Noah quote about “the real answer is give a man a fishing rod”?
What a pointless little add-on.

Cats might not be able to speak, but they have other ways of making their wants known!!
It's my 9 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳
On this account maybe
