life support critical

[josephbrassey]

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.

it effects everything.

being trans is easier when youre white.

being gay is easier when youre white.

being disabled is easier when youre white.

being a woman is easier when youre white.

being autistic is easier when youre white.

oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.

you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.

never forget this.

three things:

1. it’s true

2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt

3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this

[lady-hibiscus]

white people you don’t need to say you’re white when you reblog this btw. you don’t even need to mention it btw

[apologieslogan]

I wish more people understood this. if you are white, you are white before anything else. before EVERYTHING else. they see your skin color, and decide how much respect, decency, agency, rights, you “deserve”. you disliking this fact doesn’t make it less true.

[catborgarstan]

PSA to nonwhite people reading this that the inverse: "being black makes literally everything harder" is also true setting aside that "people of color" is a racist term on its own (color in relation to whom?) it would disingenuous to equate the oppression of nonblack POC to black POC, something which i see frequently when talk about intersectionality starts on the internet

"male socialization" has become such a great cudgel against trans women because it's the perfect way to launder all your bioessentialist misogyny under the guise of social critique

like, oh that woman is acting "male" by standing up for herself or others? and you're denigrating her about it because you're..... not a misogynist?

[mousidy]

you can just kind of gesture at socialization theory and everyone autofills it with their bioessentialist assumptions

like, it doesn't particularly matter what mechanisms of socialization you think are the root cause of her behaviors, and it really doesn't matter what her upbringing actually looked like or where she's at in unpacking how it affected her

you don't need to understand or engage with socialization theory at all, you can just slap the label of it over your bioessentialism and bam! you sound progressive without needing to let go of your conservative views, and everyone will go along with it

[addawm]

"male socialization" "female socialization" as if most trans kids aren't recognized as Deviant very early on, degendered, malgendered, and abused for it.

[bicokun]

Also, we all get the same socialization. We’re all taught roughly the same things about what boys and girls should be like and our internal identities often determine how we react to that. Yes, people will also treat you differently based on how they perceive your gender, but if a cis girl managed to be raised being treated as you would expect for a boy for most of her childhood, would you discount her identity as a woman and decry that she was “male socialized”? I suspect not.

girls i know accusations of racism can occasionally be falsely leveraged against trans women in order to discredit them and this Is Bad but this does notttt actually mean that you can just ignore the racism in the community like it doesn't exist. because racism exists in all communities and lately it is Nightmarish to be a nonwhite doll. i have experienced really glaring racism in several transfem spaces and there's been this really kind of awful attitude or like idea enforced that i shouldn't talk about it because speaking up could socially murder another tgirl. and that's really bad. that's really really bad. like it's really bad that i'm hesitant to even post this because of the scrutiny we're under. and yes the fact that it is so dangerous to speak up is because of the massive amounts of surveillance & transmisogyny we're facing but that just CAN'T mean racism gets a pass, okay? BIPOC girls are not expendable and you can't keep throwing us under the bus.

but i know calls to action without any kind of instruction aren't very helpful so here are some tips that i think you can easily do yourself with your own circles:

1) Staring off simple: Look around. Are there any BIPOC girls in your friend group, or are all of you white? Why? Do you often joke about everyone in your friend group being white? Why is that funny?

What to do: Examine why there are no people of color in your group. Examine why people of color may not be comfortable enough to hang out with you & your friends. Correct these, where possible. Do some reading on anti-racism. Talk to more people.

2) Examine how you talk about people of color & racism. Are you downplaying racism in your community? Are you treating women of color as dramatic or unreasonable for bringing it up? Do you find yourself only defending white dolls, always defending them from claims of racism, but never defending BIPOC dolls? Why?

What to do: Think about why you care more about accusations of racism than protecting the women of color in your community. Make sure you're making your space safe for BIPOC girls. Speak openly and loudly about anti-racism. Hold your sisters accountable- they should be apologizing when they say or do something wrong.

3) This one might sound silly, but as we often meet each other over fandom and roleplay- how are nonwhite characters treated in your circle? Are they always aggressive, angry, or antagonistic? Do you find yourself putting nonwhite characters in more roles like cops, dictators, sex pests, etc?

Additionally: If your circle shares sexual content, is there a lot of art where there's a pale/blonde character on the bottom, and a darker character on top? Are you and your friends always drawing darker characters as more dominant, more sexually aggressive, or promiscuous, while the white/pale characters are more innocent, submissive, modest, or clueless?

What to do: Examine how the way your group approaches fandom & art with nonwhite characters in it may make people of color uncomfortable. Examine why your art may make people of color feel unsafe or awkward hanging out with you. It's not wrong to have the occasional character of color be more antagonistic or dominant, but it's a problem when this is a pattern. If it's happening All The Time, question why!

4) Be honest with yourself: Did this post make you feel defensive? Does it make you feel defensive when people say something you did was racist? Why?

If a person of color tells you your actions were racist, they trust you to improve. I don't tell people they're being racist if i think they're going to hurt me for bringing it up. I know many like me. Don't prove us wrong- take these criticisms into account and work on it. You aren't cursed to be some kind of terrible bigot forever because you messed up- panicking without action is useless. Just be sure you examine the behavior in question and work to prevent this kind of thing from happening again. Okay?

I believe all these things are easy enough to check with yourself & your friends. Please work on making yourself & your group safe for girls who aren't white.

yahh ok so. this is both why i made this post and why the first sentence is like that. sometimes my fellow dolls fuck up and hurt me, right, but they're more likely to get hurt if i say anything and that's EXACTLY what causes this issue. if i speak up, im risking ruining their lives the second TMEs smell blood in the water, which causes this horrible awful cycle where i don't feel comfortable speaking up when other trans women are racist to me because i am so afraid of TMEs killing them about it when all i wanted was for them to make things right. This is BAD. This is actively causing trans women of color to hide when they get hurt and racist whites in the community to take advantage of our fear. It's a HUGE problem, and this is the very SPECIFIC problem i was addressing in this post.

So on that note-

White TMEs have harmed me leagues worse than white transfems. Do not take this post to mean you're somehow better. You aren't. You are in fact so much worse that i don't feel comfortable even discussing this with you because i don't trust you not to kill me if i do. The only reason i made this post and addressed other trans women specifically with it is because i want to believe my sisters will listen to my cries. That's why i didn't address the rest of yall

so many of you really do think that you can be born with an organ that makes you a rapist, and you don't seem to understand that sexual abuse is a product of imbalances of power

[mousidy]

not that you're ever willing to have a conversation about how trans women, being an incredibly disempowered class, face extraordinarily high rates of violence

[mousidy]

if we actually addressed the real systems that enable sexual abuse, then you wouldn't be able to abuse trans women with impunity anymore, and we can't have that! rape organ it is then

[mousidy]

all the feminist progress made in the 2010s truly was sacrificed on the altar of transmisogyny. no, the patriarchy isn't to blame for women's oppression, we actually need the patriarchy to help us take down those trannies, the real threats to women!

[sinfulanomaly-deactivated202606]

It cannot be stated firmly enough that in the US (and soon the UK) that TERFs have no just eliminated the right to abortion but have shepherded people into power who are actively working to make it illegal for women to vote. All feminist progress for the last century could evaporate within our lifetimes just to spite us.
