intro post / pin

hai hai! my name is domino, I identify as Arab & I am an intersex transgender lesbian (TMA) who identifies as a leatherdyke. I am over 18 (22) and my blog is occasionally nsfw.

interests: many indie games, mostly disco elysium pilled atm. i also genuinely engage with politics as an interest (incl history & theory). I occasionally post art when im less depressed and estrogen deficient.

i will block you: obligatory no transmysoginy or terfisms yes even if youre intersex i do not care for any bioessentialism that shits disgusting. other than that i mostly am pissed off by general fascis(m)s and racism or white people being incredibly irritating.

I need y’all to understand that trans women can also use and perpetuate transmisogyny against other trans women. Fuck, the woman (a prominent transfeminist and partner of another prominent transfeminist of color) who TAUGHT me about transfeminism and was instrumental in a lot of the formative beliefs that became my current views on community care and responsibility later participated heavily in the HAL against me because her abusive best friend hated me, despite her admitting she knew it was a lie and refusing to do the same to much worse (white) trans women.

Trans women are not immune to the temptations of white supremacy and transmisogyny, even against other trans women (of any race). You MUST make an active choice to not act on those temptations and keep other trans women safe even if you fucking hate them.

Today I wanted to talk about Kyle Bassinga. Kyle was a 21 year old man from Georgia, whose family described him as "a kind, thoughtful, and smart young man who loved nature, music, and the people around him". Kyle Bassinga was killed on February 18th 2026, just ten days after his birthday. He was found hanging from a tree in a park.

The police ruled it a suicide. The family and local community demanded an investigation. The police refused to change their ruling.

I know this website it too white for this to really go anywhere, but an understanding of the present reality of white supremacy in the United States is just so important to transfeminism here. Lynchings never stopped, white supremacy never went away, you just stopped looking.

Juliana Nzita, A 16 year old Black girl, was just found hanging from a tree on church grounds in Charlotte, NC. Police have ruled it a suicide, despite hanging ourselves from trees being like the one communally agreed way Black folks ain’t killing ourselves.

Every time I go on Twitter or Facebook I learn about another recent lynching or missing Black person going mostly unreported. Half the reason I keep an active account on either of those sites is because they’re the only place I can find out about the violence happening to Black and Trans people reasonably quickly.

But I do need y’all to know that Black folks are currently, actively, being disappeared and lynched—if they even find our bodies. Black girls are and have been more often stolen into human trafficking, especially if they’re immigrants, but I’ve been seeing new news of probable lynchings every other day. Shit is worse than you think it is right now, tumblr just too white of a site to care lol

People argue "I've seen a case like this every few months and it's always been a suicide"

Been a suicide or been ruled a suicide?

[storyweavingspider]

Usually it’s ruled a suicide because cops or people affiliated with cops/prisons/legal system like lawyers or prosecutors did it then buried the body on land belonging to one of those organizations, such as I noted here: in this thread, where over 200 bodies were found buried behind a jail since 2016:

Non-Black and/or non-US based people often wonder why so many left-leaning Black folks in the US try to operate alternate justice systems within smaller community such as restorative justice, transformative justice, etc. when “all over the world, activists and their ancestors have fought for access to legal systems like this” and this is why.

Our legal system is explicitly designed to kill and enslave Black people. Our legal system from the cops to the lawyers and courts (one of the few times we got justice) to the prisons is legalized slavery where prisons are privatized and corporations are encouraged to maximize their profit by incentivizing every part of this system to hold as many people as possible.

Black folks can be proven innocent after years of time in prison or on death row and still killed by the state or dying in prison because the goal was never justice, it was to keep culling and controlling the Black population.

And outside of the system, we are lynched, raped, abused, trafficked, and robbed by those involved in our legal system, lives often irreparably destroyed, entire lives disappeared with no justice because that is the point, not a flaw. It’s almost always those in the legal system or their families and friends doing this, so that it can be ruled a suicide or a runaway or intracommunity issues and swept away.

So when we look to justice systems that do not throw away a life of any human, it is because we do not wish to see them enslaved, murdered, raped, abused, etc. at the hands of the state, because that is what WILL happen here in the US. We become abolitionists because we see that the alternative option is to allow others to become enslaved. Because it’s a minimum we can do when 95% of the time there will be no justice for us no matter what.

Magic Arena developers say they were told to relocate or effectively lose their jobs

It's one of many reasons that workers tell Polygon they are eager to unionize.

Employees and developers working on Magic: The Gathering Arena say they were hired with promises of remote flexibility, so they bought homes and built lives around those assurances. But they say they are now being told they may need to relocate to Washington state — or effectively lose their jobs.

Those concerns are a major reason why a supermajority of workers on the Arena team are attempting to unionize with the Communications Workers of America, under the banner United Wizards of the Coast. The group publicly launched its campaign on April 27, calling on Wizards of the Coast and parent company Hasbro to voluntarily recognize the union by May 1.

[apricops]

These employees are doing important and laudable work in response to being forced into a bad situation but I’m glad they still took the opportunity to call themselves “United Wizards”

[basic-bamboo]

WotC has still refused to recognize the union and has escalated to sending organizers letters directly to their homes about how unionizing is a bad idea. Luckily, our United Wizards are educated, organized, and agitated and the form letter from Hasbro was as laughable as it was threatening.

If you want to help out the United Wizards you can sign this petition

but for real though the keep gay people away from children thing is so weird because so many teachers are gay. I mean, even historically. lots of gay women became schoolteachers because the job forbid them to marry during the term of their employment and it was a good excuse to keep men away. and I think we all had at least one nebulously gay teacher at our school, often several and it didn’t kill us and they were usually very good at their job.

[llyfrenfys]

HUH - I didn't know that about gay women being schoolteachers (historically). That puts Nadolig (1929) by Kate Roberts in a whole new light (makes the lesbian subtext even more loud). Do you have a source for this btw? /gen

[byjove]

No. There is currently not one unified source that studies the prevalence of gay teachers in historical settings though it looks like there may be a study underway. It is difficult to study the prevalence of LGBTQ educators because it is still considered taboo to be out in educational spaces. That is why I said ‘nebulously gay’ teachers. Gay teachers throughout history have had to keep their private lives extremely private. We do not know how many of the olden days schoolmarms were lesbians and how many were actually straight women who had no desire to get married and enjoyed a long happy life with their female roommate. It was not until the 70s and the gay rights movement that educators began fighting for their right to publically be themselves and retain their jobs.

This is why history involving the lives of average LGBTQ people is so difficult to study. They were there, they lived their lives but they kept their sexuality private. That does not mean they did not exist, it means we must lean on word of mouth and additional biographical context and firsthand accounts.
