Tumblr actively hunts down and deletes legit trans womens blogs as a policy but encourages and cultivates porn bots that use stolen trans sex worker's content. This is propaganda and affects how we're viewed by other users, makes our own tags unusable for us, is unfathomably transmisogynistic, and reveals a lot about how staff views us. Our bodies are a commodity that they want on their website, but our words are not welcome.
writing a movie about a violent man in a dress who kills women out of a desire to become one and then insisting over and over that it can't be transphobic (despite it's cultural influence to the contrary) because he isn't a real tranny is. well it's beyond parody isn't it.
reallyyy not a fan of the habit people have of deflecting guilt for making abhorrent and obvious caricatures of trans women in media by insisting that it was actually super progressive because he wasn't a real transsexual!! you see the same shit with rhps. just a complete failure to take some accountability and say "yeah that was insensitive we shouldn't have depicted a real group of people that way and it has brought them material harm as a result."
It's so frustrating when people pull the "but he isn't a trans woman," like yes, the transmisogynistic caricature will not be called a woman by the source material, please consider why that is
"The Hateful Image of You is a community building thing for us though." "We felt so safe in The Hateful Image of You it let us explore ourselves." "The Hateful Image of You inspired women to join imperialist government organizations." "Honestly I dont even care how you feel about The Hateful Image of You it doesn't matter that nobody acknowledges the affect it has on You." "I have personally helped facilitate dozens of productions of The Hateful Image of You its not amazing its just a movie."
Silence of the Lambs, Ace Ventura, RHPS, Sleepaway Camp, Longlegs, Psycho, the list goes on and on and on and The Hateful Image of You lives on in the hearts of everyone around us and TME people expect us to just, not care? Is it so hard to empathize with a trans woman for one minute that they can't even conceive of having The Hateful Image of You depicting yourself in a warped portrait with blood smeared on it and how it makes us feel? Especially that its a beloved community gathering thing to take part in The Hateful Image of You? That The Hateful Image of You unites everyone else in enjoying it? That the sharing of it perpetuates its renewal over and over again?
Nah, I'mma be a loud pissed off tranny about it. The least I can do to fight what kills so many of us before we can even be ourselves is shit on every one of these shitty fucking things yall make. Fuckin Hell.

The rising threat of food insecurity is partly why Americans feel worse off than ever before, according to research by the Federal Reserve B
In an increasingly bifurcated economy, there has been a "remarkable" rise in food insecurity, according to a new blog post by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The growing share of U.S. households facing hunger is also likely linked to sinking consumer sentiment, the New York Fed researchers found.
Tighter eligibility requirements for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, contribute to the problem, researchers said.
The so-called K-shaped economy is now linked to "a remarkable increase in food insecurity," according to a new blog post by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Large segments of the population are facing high levels of financial strain, according to a post published on Wednesday, based on data from the Survey of Consumer Expectations.
Among this group, lower- and middle-income households have been hardest hit by prolonged inflation. A greater share of their spending is allocated to goods that have seen prices soar since the pandemic, such as housing, food and utilities, causing them to cut back on groceries, the researchers found.
A higher cost of living, combined with cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, "have led to renewed concerns about food insecurity among those at the bottom of the K-shape," the New York Fed researchers wrote.
Households have struggled with the expiration of pandemic-era aid, including expanded SNAP benefits, formerly known as food stamps, researchers said. More recently, President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" tightened the work requirements for SNAP benefits.
Nearly 14% of American households were food insecure in 2024, according to the most recent report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
The New York Fed said that food insecurity is likely linked to why Americans now feel worse off even as the economy overall has expanded at a solid pace since the Covid pandemic.
After a series of recent financial shocks, consumer sentiment has been on a downward trend. The University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers, a closely watched bellwether, hit all-time lows in May.
"Consumers overall have been pessimistic about their own financial circumstances and outlook," the New York Fed researchers wrote.
But there is also "significant" variation across households, the New York Fed researchers found, "supporting the notion of a 'K-shaped' economy."
The rise of the K-shape
Stock market rallies and appreciating home values tend to buoy high-earner households, which disproportionately own such assets, and leave lower-income households behind.
The pandemic turbocharged those dynamics — as stock and housing wealth soared while lower-income households struggled to keep up with rising prices — giving rise to the concept of a K-shaped economy.
Now, gasoline prices are also dragging down the lower prong of the K. The national average gasoline price reached $4.46 a gallon as of Wednesday, up about 40% from a year ago, according to AAA.
“The top of the K-shape reflects high and growing levels of net wealth,” the New York Fed researchers wrote, while “the bottom of the K-shape represents a significant share of the middle- and lower-income population experiencing elevated levels of economic uncertainty and financial hardship.”
The central bank’s monthly Survey of Consumer Expectations, released May 7, also found that about one-third of households expect to be in a worse financial situation in one year from now.
