NOT EVERYTHING FEELS LIKE SOMETHING ELSE

Primavera // Louise Glück

Spring comes quickly: overnight the plum tree blossoms, the warm air fills with bird calls.

In the plowed dirt, someone has drawn a picture of the sun with rays coming out all around but because the background is dirt, the sun is black. There is no signature.

Alas, very soon everything will disappear: the bird calls, the delicate blossoms. In the end, even the earth itself will follow the artist’s name into oblivion.

Nevertheless, the artist intends a mood of celebration.

How beautiful the blossoms are — emblems of the resilience of life. The birds approach eagerly.

I honestly cannot believe how far T(W)ERF rhetoric has spread on this site. They used to be the ONLY ones I saw openly mocking the concept of identifying as queer, the ONLY ones I saw referring to people as ‘kweer’ in a mocking way.

You all are so 100% certain you know how to identify radfem and T(W)ERF rhetoric and can’t possibly fall victim to it but guess what.

They are nowhere near above pulling this shit. And you all are falling for it.

And if you think that screenshot is an isolated incident, think again!

There are countless radfem and T(W)ERF blogs that I’ve blocked that said ‘secret radfem sideblog’ in the description.

Like, it’s great that we’ve made being a T(W)ERF so unaccepted on this site that they can only be open about the most toxic of their views in secret side blogs rather than on their main, but it’s time to accept that they’re taking advantage of that in a really fucking insidious way.

Just a tip on how to recognize these blogs. If you follow someone and you start getting suggested t*rf blogs that’s a good sign the person has sideblog for that stuff. There was some cowboy blog I followed a while ago and I used to get follow suggestions saying “this blog is similar to cowboy whatever” and it was a ton of t*rf shit and low and behold they ended up outing themselves

This is why we learn about what actual TERF ideology is. Saying “trans women are women” and “TERFS not allowed” and putting “TERF destroyer” or whatever in your bio is not enough. Learn how TERFs actually work, and what they believe, and where it stems from, and how they express diluted versions in order to warm up non-TERFs to their ideas.

Do the fucking work. Unfollow/block people who express TERF ideas even if they don’t label themselves as TERFs, challenge those ideas in your community, and you won’t have to worry about secret TERF blogs anymore.

Just in case you happen to be unaware, some of the “radfem lite” they post to warm you up to their rhetoric, just off the top of my head:

Ace/aro exclusionism

Bi exclusionism or claims that bi people are “less queer” bc of “straight passive privilege”

Saying you have to be dysphoric to identify as trans

Invalidating nonbinary people

Calling queer a slur regardless of context, saying people can’t identify as queer, and saying that it can’t be reclaimed

“Mogai hell”, “kweer”, or otherwise mocking less common labels and claiming they are “just cishets who want to feel special”

Excluding sex workers from feminist discussions or claiming that sex work is inherently evil

Basically anyone who thinks they can determine what other people identify as

The following are some red flags I’ve seen:

Men are evil

Women are pure

Black and white framing

Talking about separating the communities

Only this group can use these words

Lesbians are better than bi women

Straight women deserve/should not be surprised if they get abused

Panphobia

Think of the children

Anti kink

Cringe culture/who let these weirdos in/calling people freaks

monstermonger

Murphys law of being a trans man is that you're only considered a man when it can be used to hurt you

I mentioned in my original tags that this post was inspired by my recent learning of some drama from my colleges theater department.

Apparently, some people were bringing up some issues regarding the departments overall treatment of marginalized actors, valid issues for the most part. But one of the points that was brought up was about the last show I was in before I moved, and the role I was given in that show.

During auditions, I did not read for the role I ended up getting, but apparently, all the people who did read for that role were women. So there was a complaint that it was misogynistic of them to read women for this role and then cast a man, depriving a woman of the role. (Of course, there was no mention of the transphobia in casting a trans man in a role they were only considering women for)

This is coming from the same department that advised me not to bother auditioning for a show because "all of the male roles really are men's roles".

So when it comes time to audition for a mans role, I'm not a man. But when I do get cast, always in a gender ambiguous role, now I am a man and, therefore, stealing the role from a hypothetical woman.
