back to reading Magical Trans and i forgot how funny this all is

[tpwrtrmnky]

Honestly I think the only thing that's preventing Ralsei from transitioning is that nobody has mentioned "you can just be a girl if you'd prefer to" at her in the span of the five days that she's been experiencing the concept of having agency

[michaelrotonal]

i feel like it's kinda rude to use post-transition pronouns for someone who hasn't even realized yet that what they want is to transition

[tpwrtrmnky]

[dykieran]

it's crazy how once you notice how literally everything centres men all the time you will never be able to enjoy anything properly ever again

[dykieran]

this show is about men this movie is about men this game is meant to be played as a man these characters are men so they're intrinsically more likeable than their bitchy women counterparts this show is about women but they're all for men to look at this movie is about a woman but there's a guy there as well to make it more palatable for General Audience (men) this fandom is all about this one man what do you mean you don't like men. what about this man you must like him!!! he's like a woman to me! and by that i mean i headcanon him as a trans man because im #queeringit and him being a trans man basically means Woman Lite right? so i basically do care about women! and going on e makes you like men and going on t makes you like men and being a lesbian means you still have to have a himbo man friend and you HAVE to read this book! it's about a man

In case you weren't aware, the goal of a boycott is to significantly impact the bottom line of a business to pressure it into stopping some specific harmful behavior.

This means that a disorganized "don't support this" with no clear timeframe, no clear demand being put forward, and no organized effort to reach the actual customers of the business... is pretty unlikely to achieve anything.

[tpwrtrmnky]

"Boycotts never achieve anything" factoid is actually a statistical error. Historically, boycotts have been an enormously successful pressure mechanism for collective action. Boycotts georg, a social media user who launches a million poorly strategized boycotts every day with no thought given to target selection or actionable demands, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

[markadoo]

this is what intersectionalism looked like back in 1979 before they invented the idea of having ideas

[stillnaomi]

liberals really care more about abstract ideals than whether huge numbers of people are suffering and dying. just look at how they cheered the fall of the Eastern Bloc, even after seeing its citizens life expectancy plummet and poverty rates shoot through the roof. it's all good tho because now they had (liberal) Democracy™

[prolet-kultist]

something i find pretty comical is when people (primarily moderate socialists, non-ML communists and other vague groups of "leftists") say stuff like "everyone is a bit socialist on the inside!" "it's so easy to make someone a socialist, it's just having empathy" and reduce the "bar" to becoming a socialist to "has been taught that sharing is caring as an infant" which is. so funny. now like im not saying you can't simplify stuff and appeal to less scientific things to introduce someone to communism but this is such blatant "leftism is when good" that, if it works, will inevitably create a vibes-based nondescript leftist at best

[libertineangel]

> "It's easy to get anyone to agree with full actual socialism, you just have to find the right words!"

> Ask OP if their "socialism" is empty platitudes or opportunist workerism

> They don't understand [pull out Communist Manifesto explaining what is scientific socialism]

> They complain about "infighting" and "purity tests" or some shit

> Read what they're parading as "socialism"

> It's opportunistic workerism

[the-night-night-owl]

Actually ur being classist for telling people to read theory because most members of the working class (I understand working class as poor people) don't have any free time in their life whatsoever and couldn't possibly read a 30 page document (I think poor people (because that's what I think the working class is) can't read)

“hes a woman to me” IS HE? or are you equating women with submissive character traits you've arbitrarily put on a random man

[aoelustious]

“he’s a woman to me” “ummm isn’t that kind of misogynistic? are you equating womanhood with submission—”

BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK sorry i couldn’t hear you over the sound of me putting a fictional man in a slutty apron and calling him mommy. sorry. i was too busy hand-feeding him strawberries and then writing 12k of emotional devastation and domestic porn. sorry i gendered him like a little fucked up doll in a victorian nursery.

YES. HE’S A WOMAN TO ME. HE’S A HOUSEWIFE. HE’S A HIGH-FEM BRAT. HE’S A PRETTY LITTLE THING WHO GETS RAWED IN THE MOONLIGHT AND MAKES SOFT WHIMPERS AND BAKES BREAD TO COPE. AND I DO NOT CARE IF IT MAKES SENSE.

HE IS MADE OF TROPES. HE IS MADE OF VIBES. HE IS MADE OF GLITTER AND TEARS AND POST-WAR PTSD. HE IS WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT. HE IS NOT A MAN. HE IS NOT A WOMAN. HE IS A TRAGEDY IN LACE.

you’re talking about “misogyny” like i didn’t just write a fic where he gets folded in half by a feral beast of a love interest and then cries because he’s “too used to not being touched gently.” BABE. THERE IS NO DIGNITY HERE. ONLY CATHARSIS.

your academic thinkpiece cannot survive the heat of my horny little monkey brain. you want to talk about gender roles?? I WANT TO PUT HIM IN A COLLAR. I WANT TO GIVE HIM A GENDERCRISIS VIA DICK. I WANT TO MAKE HIM THE MAID AND THE MUSE AND THE MADONNA.

and also? sometimes i call him a manwhore for getting railed twice in one chapter and still being emotionally unavailable. because HE DESERVES IT. because I SAID SO. because it’s FUNNY and UNHINGED and that’s the POINT.

you are not fixing the world. i am not breaking it. we are both feral rats arguing over a Barbie doll in a trench coat. take your discourse and go. i’ve got work to do. i’m about to make him lactate out of spite.

[ex-riddlecats]

this is already an absolutely tone-deaf and borderline transmisogynistic response but i think it gets even more jawdropping when your blog makes it really obvious youre talking about alexander hamilton

[dramatic-dolphin]

and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.

[hiveswap]

^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.

Do Trans Men Experience Womanhood?

Notes on transmasculinity.

“Much of trans men’s lingering attachments to womanhood and girlhood has to do with the fact that manhood really has no specificity. To become a Man is to become the taken-for-granted universal signifier. This is how systems of oppression operate–they reserve universal status for the privileged group, relegating social specificity to Others as a way of denying the Other’s interiority. Whiteness/Manhood/Heterosexuality is synonymous with humanity, while Others are excluded from self-determined existence. Living as a woman felt traumatic, impossible. Being a man often feels like being nothing at all.”

"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

[backofthebookshelf]

The FAA had to explicitly make rules about how long pilots have to have off between shifts, and how far away from their home you can pin their home airport, because it doesn't mean shit that someone has 10 hours between shifts if they have a 2 hour commute each way. They had to make these rules because multiple passenger airplanes crashed because the pilots were exhausted from tight scheduling. Employers won't just work you to death, they'll take a hundred random customers with you.

Throwback to when Victims of Communism revealed Lenin came back from the dead to exile Trotsky

[tonysopranobignaturals-deactiva]

proof marxism-leninism is an immortal science

[karvina]

he just had a letter labeled “open january 10 1928” and after he died they opened it and inside it said “fuck trotsky gay ass”

Following up on that post about slavery in Ancient Rome, if you’re ever wondering why, for instance, Rome kept launching wars in Parthia and Germanía, there are multiple reasons, especially pride once the people of both regions had defeated them, but more than anything it was access to more slaves. The soldiers and civilians captured in these wars were the primary source of slaves other than those born into slavery. The entire project of the Roman Empire only truly makes sense when you comprehend the degree to which it was economically reliant of mass slave labor, particularly in its mines, on its farms, and in its mills and bakeries. The grain dole, the famous Roman welfare program which guaranteed grain for its poorest (free) people was in large part propped up by slave labor

[human-pet-they]

it’s kind of crazy that “he has a sadness in his eyes you only see in Eastern European gay porn” took off, because the joke is, like, exclusively about people being sexually exploited due to miserable economic conditions.

[libertineangel]

Unfortunately to the majority of this site Eastern Europe is not actually a real place full of actual human beings, instead a vague concept where everything's grey and miserable and (to the slightly less ignorant) full of violent ethnic tensions, and if you try to explain why that's the popular Western conception of the place and why things got so miserable from the late 80s onward they'll just call you a tankie

[sapphling]

and honestly it's just fucking insane that every time we try to talk about harm to children in particular we have to talk circles around the fact that these things are very, very overwhelmingly done by parents/family members/teachers/religious leaders/known and trusted adults in a position of power over a child, to the extent that many people's suggested solution to child abuse is "give the people most likely to abuse a child EVEN MORE strangling legal and material power over the kid"

[sapphling]

you're not supposed to actually address who is abusing children and what can be done to give those children recourse and the ability to leave abusive situations because nobody actually gives a shit about child abuse beyond the familial property rights violation it represents to them and the cudgel against minorities which it can be turned into
