Folks will tell you "I don't care what happens as long as it's between two consenting adults" and have so many exceptions their idea of consent comes attached with a "terms and conditions" form.

With the growing [trans] "men's rights" movement, I think it would be prudent for everyone to study up on similar masculine power movements of the last century.

Yes, we know Gamergate, but I rarely see acknowledgement of how contemporary masculine identitarianism is deeply tied to American military culture that has been exported abroad, or allusions drawn to the white power movement of the late 20th century.

I recommend God Forgives, Brothers Don't by Jasper Craven and Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement And Paramilitary America by Kathleen Belew for deeper detail, but in short, we should be deeply wary of the growing accommodation of queer men in imperial power, including male power and white power movements and not be caught off-guard when this trend continues

Google’s removal of its search function is going great btw

[thickness-protection-program]

According to fox entertainment this is who we should be afraid of. I didn't know who Francesca Hong was 10 minutes ago but thankfully now I'm aware of this monster and her monsterous policies

[calamity-corner]

if anyone was curious how things are going over on tme transmisogynist tumblr now, here's an update. it was always going this way

[calamity-corner]

oh and let's not forget that transmascvoicesproject is platforming random anons accusing transfems of being degenerate perverts and going "yikes, that's pretty messed up, i always got the feeling she was secretly a pervert anyway"

🔑🔑🔑

[calamity-corner]

it's crazy watching this unfold in real time because it's exactly what unfolded in real time with isff.

transfem-centered blog run by a transfem gets co-opted by tmes who feel left out, get told off for the glaringly obvious transmisogyny in the co-opted version, and immediately spiral into even more full blown aggressive transmisogyny, twerfs and tmras rally to defense, copycat and parody accounts pop up everywhere, and suddenly the transfem's project is no longer about her project, the primary association is only the transmisogynistic tme bullshit.

whether for or against transmascvoicesproject, people are only talking about that now, the conversation has been completely derailed from what mouse was actually doing. and she was doing something really fucking important! i fucking hate it here no one ever learns. isff deserves better and mousidy deserves better

[calamity-corner]

SAME SHIT HAPPENED TO YAY-BUNNIES

[calamity-corner]

it took all of 3 minutes after interacting with transmascvoicesproject for me to get repeatedly sexually harassed in his notes, btw. hell of a "community" for "survivors" you got there

[calamity-corner]

her response to me getting sexually harassed was to block me, btw. lmao

[calamity-corner]

and just like that he's reblogging the harassment brigade that relentlessly targeted isff for months, as well as countless others including myself! awesome

[calamity-corner]

tw for disgustingly blatant transmisogynistic sexual harassment, but i really wanna show some of these comments i received because it's absurdly telling that this blog was not blocked and is in fact still commenting on transmascvoicesproject's posts, meanwhile i had to use an alt to gather these screenshots because I, the victim of said sexual harassment, was blocked. right before he went on to reblog from the harassment campaign that obsessively and baselessly called me a pedophile months ago. couldn't get clearer than that.

this account is so clearly someone from the lolcow thread, btw. this is exactly how they all talk, and she even tried and failed to deadname me by dropping someone else's deadname (not posting that screenshot for obvious reasons) so clearly she's been perusing the thread for a while and is just too dumb to keep track of which girl she's even harassing. these people are fucked, and transmascvoicesproject, whether she was ever operating in good faith or not, has made it abundantly clear that he'd rather side with misogynistic abusers than the women they victimize. let it be fucking known.

[hyperlexichypatia]

IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...

Then maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

Trump's HHS abandons threat to withhold Medicare and Medicaid funding over trans care

NPR has learned that the Department of Health and Human Services will not be finalizing its most aggressive attempt to end gender-affirming

Some ok news for once. Seems HHS is backing off their most recent attempt at a national care ban for trans kids due to the massive legal hurdles it would have faced. This does not mean other ongoing efforts to target care providers and orgs like WPATH aren't still ongoing and still a major concern, but it is good to see that we won't have to fight this specific battle (a proposed and now discarded rule that would have attempted to deny Medicaid and Medicare funding and coverage at any hospital that provides gender affirming care for youth)

[trangoldin]

The HHS response and clarification of that bullshit response from a trans attorney. They know the rule is unenforceable but hospitals have shpwn they will be cowed by the limpest of threats so they are just "postponing" the rule so they can use it as the aforementioned threat.

I just found out that Goose went through conversion therapy. Transfem Jax is even more important now.

"you shouldn't speculate on a dead person's gender"

no one needs you to protect the inherent assumed cisness of someone who very obviously didn't fit the mold of what cis men are expected to act like, who died far too young and never got the chance to tell us how they identify as, who ended their own life the way so many trans women closeted and otherwise do due to transmisogyny.

instead of getting mad that someone said Kurt Cobain was a trans woman, instead ask yourself why being a trans woman is a fate worse than suicide in your eyes.

[dodykeahedron]

Not to mention that people speculate on the orientation of dead people CONSTANTLY. "Historians will call them good friends" was a meme that got turned into a goddamn song. Why is being transfem different.

[pocket-deer-belly]

continuously amazed at how easily people view JK rowling's bigotry as completely and entirely abstract. like she's not "a famous author who has some bad views" she's an influential bigot, as in, directly funds projects that harm trans women, directly contributes to transmisogynist legislation. to buy harry potter merch isn't just like, oh, i support the art not the artist. it's basically forking over cash to someone who is openly, publicly, fostering a more bigoted world through direct action. it's like watching elon musk do the hitler salute and going "oh well i don't know i just bought the cybertruck cause i like it"

[pocket-deer-belly]

let's all put our thinking caps on and think about if it's more important to be personally comforted by hate symbols or if it's better to be an ally to the trans woman you live with who constantly has to put up with your cutesy megaterf merch.

[pocket-deer-belly]

i don't want to be near someone who constantly invests their fucking hobby money in hate symbology. i don't care how much you like your fucking fandom plushies, i do not want to be reminded day in day out of world's most famous terf who would love for me to die. I don't care if your terf merch was ethically sourced, i don't care if your terf merch has a lot of emotional sentiment, you're cuddling up your bedroom with fucking swastikas for all i care. I don't really care that the trans woman you live with was mean to you actually.

i think every single airline and automobile lobbyist in washington dc needs to be shot

[mystery-incorporated-whore]

air travel is one of the most atmospherically pollutant activities we undertake as a species and the interstate highway system is a concrete scar across the land that does more to isolate communities than it does to bring them together. they both need to be burned to the ground

[mystery-incorporated-whore]

can you tell i just watched a youtube video about the history of rail travel in the us?

its less pollutant, easier to upkeep, a smaller footprint on the land, more convenient for travellers, and cheaper. god what i would give for a functional nationalized rail network

[mystery-incorporated-whore]

like. imagine for a second if the entire nj turnpike was demolished and replaced with a double track mainline. not only do you reclaim literal HUNDREDS of miles of forest edge, but ALSO building wildlife crossings over or under that mainline is MUCH easier than the 12 lane gash that was there before

[mystery-incorporated-whore]

oh and it goes without saying that every single one of these lines is required to have an indigenous consultant (or multiple) on during its construction to make sure they avoid any and all religious or ceremonial or historic sites

and then 100% of the money made (not just the profits, ALL money made) goes directly to the tribes that own the land

[mystery-incorporated-whore]

did you know that one of the main things that killed passenger travel in this country was the usps pulling its mail contract with railroad companies to use airlines instead? i dont know what asshole lobbyist was responsible for that decision but i am going to dig up his grave and shoot him in the head
