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.

Engels dumping Karl Marx because he's a disabled puppy girl who can't do the chores and writes theory all day.

[sailatina3]

After reading this.... im sorry but Tara Knight has fully become a terf what the fuck is she doing.

[sailatina3]

This is a fundamentally transmisogynistic statement. You are objectively putting an association of malehood on a large portion of trans women. There's no possible excuse or justification for this, this is twerfism in blatant view. Why the fuck do you think you're a transfeminist?

[pokeballvictimized]

You know, I do continually find it odd how people on this site will associate kinks and sexuality they dont like with whiteness. Like there is absolutely stuff to unpack with how kink interfaces with race as a subset of how the socially constructed category of race influences everything but I dont think that's "no black person would ever like this kink" like I just don't think thats true

[pokeballvictimized]

I dont think white people have unique claim to perversion. That doesnt make sense

[gunzomi]

It's a weird repressive fantasy that perversion is a unique "disease" of people who have too much time on their hands, to be unsatisfied with the simple things, which, of course, the oppressed classes of people are unilaterally content with, because in their ignominy they lack desire and their oppression is their emotional identity. Incredibly white exceptionalist take

[beyond-a-name]

if you can, please help. to be brief...

we live in a household with two other transfems who are also disabled and new to our country

only two of us can legally work here, and especially given our disabilities, it's been very hard to find jobs

we currently need 2100 cad to pay rent at the start of the month, and that's not including other expenses

if you're able, any help goes a long way, even just sharing this around. our pa*p*l is @CherryChangeling. please dm us if something else works better

someone helped out one of our roommates, so we've already got a bit of a head start

390/2100 CAD

[cryody]

what is it that turns specifically afab intersex people into j.k. rowling so often

[miraclemaya]

whenever we get a wave of thinly veiled transmisogyny under the pretense of oh like "incest kink is white people shit" kind of stuff it makes me really want to just start siscon posting or something. of course that wouldn't do anything, the types of people who make those posts already will paint me as white. but it makes me go fucking crazy with how bold face just wrong it is unless you are crazy racist

Please don't forget Armenians

Today is Armenian genocide remembrance day. On april 24, 1915 started mass deportations of hundreds of Armenian intelectuals and community leaders, who were (most of the time) eventually killed. Armenian women and children were systematically r//ed and forcibly converted into islam. There were more than 2 milion Armenians in ottoman empire prior to ww1, 1,5 milion of them were viciously killed. Three millennia of Armenian civilaziation in eastern Anatolis was fully destroyed. Turkey today refuses to acknowledge genocides of christian minorities in early 20th century.

Do you know that mass ethnic cleansing of Armenians in ottoman empire inspired Lemkin to coin the term 'genocide'?

Last year in september azerbaijan allied with turkey initiated a war against Armenia. More that 5000 Armenians were murdered, thousands of Armenia families had to live their ancestrial land to not get murdered. There are hundreds of vids on internet where armenian p.o.w.s are tortured. Recently azerbaijan opened a "museum" displayind dead or dying Armenians and kids were allowed to visit it.

Please educate yourself on Armenian genocide. You can also donate here to help Armenia. Thanks for reading!!

[harminuya]

This post is from 2021.

Last September, Artsakh was completely cleansed of its indigenous Armenian population. 3000 years of history were violently disturbed. Now the anti-Armenian propaganda and hatred is increasing and they are openly talking about taking over all of Armenia. Please take your time to read about these issues.

It's evidently clear that a lot of western leftcoms seem to only care about class struggle because fundamentally they're more mobilized by the fact that they are being exploited by their ruling class than the global exploitation that their ruling class wreaks on the world. There's little common ground between them and global south communists because these people can't stand the fact that we're more focused on development and building states that are safe from imperialism than emancipating them from the bourgeois

[txttletale]

respectfully, this stance is in its sincerest essence anti-communist. class struggle is what unites all of the global proletariat--can you imagine josef stalin turning to the bolsheviks and telling them, "well, there's no common ground between us as you are only concerned with class struggle, i am instead going to develop the georgian economy to safeguard it from russian imperialism?" of course not! just as russian imperialism was a system extended through the tsardom of russia that was inexctricable from the class rule of the russian feudal aristocracy and bourgeoise, imperialism is a world-system that cannot be simply opted out of or 'safeguarded against' by economic development.

i want to be very clear that i understand the place where posts like these come from--a place of frustration with the chauvinisms and imperialist sympathies of socialists in the global core. this is a fair and well-earned frustration--but to take that frustration to the conclusion that the global proletariat do not have a shared class interest in socialist struggle, to frame solidarity with the anti-imperialist movement as a primarily moral obligation that is being neglected rather than an essential task in the imperial proletariat's own liberation is not only counterproductive but contrary to some of the most essential principles of marxist analysis

[ysmkinza]

Western communists have been doing this shit for over a century now.

A communist from the global south posts an imperfectly worded but accurate observation: that western leftcoms are more mobilized by their own exploitation than by global exploitation by their ruling class, and that the priorities of actually-existing anti-imperial struggle diverge from the priorities of a left that draws its own wages from the profits of that global exploitation. The reply from the imperial core opens by "respectfully" declaring this position "anti-communist in its sincerest essence" and proceeds to condescendingly lecture a LIBYAN COMMUNIST on the correct understanding of class struggle, the correct interpretation of Stalin, and the correct Marxist analysis of his own condition.

I want to be very clear about what is happening. Someone with direct experience having to "see imperialism take up arms against your nation to try to destroy everything it's ever built" is being told by a resident of one of the nations profiting from that destruction that his material analysis of his own position is insufficiently Marxist. Not just wrong, but anti-communist.

Lenin named this position "social-chauvinism", also over a century ago, and here we see the strategy modernized for social media. Core communists have always done this, consistently characterizing national liberation movements as digressions from pure proletarian internationalism, distractions from real class struggle - theoretically immature forms that needed correcting and instruction in proper Marxism by their more sophisticated metropolitan comrades.

This contradiction never seems to occur to those sophisticated metropolitan comrades: they demand solidarity from the people trying to throw off the imperial yoke while drawing their own wages from that same yoke. As we can see, that has not changed.

Stalin's entire political career centered on building Socialism in One Country. It was defined by a theoretical and practical commitment to developing the productive forces of a socialist state under imperial encirclement, precisely the "vulgar developmentalism" being sneered at here. Because no, I don't think making a gesture to "understanding" the rage actually makes up for ignoring the substance of the argument and presenting the whole original post as just a mistake made in the heat of passion - that actually makes it worse.

It is critically necessary for any useful analysis on the position of the proletariat of the imperial core to recognize that their wages are subsidized by imperial superprofits. The oppression visited upon them is real - but their social and material reproduction are directly subsidized by imperial extraction. International solidarity cannot be built on willful ignorance of that fact.

The global south should continue to live in destitute poverty #woke

[lapdoglover-deactivated20260510]

Genuinely anyone who believes this is profoundly racist and refused to actually listen to the voices of the global south.

Sorry I must be falling into “human supremacism” I’m sure the imperial core citizen wants to keep global south nations impoverished for animal rights reasons totally. It just happens they never put any effort into actually doing the same “primitivism” at home.

[lapdoglover-deactivated20260510]

Suspicious number of global north “leftists” whose entire political ideology is chastising revolutionaries from the global south.

[lapdoglover-deactivated20260510]

Wanting to progress society is reactionary actually we need to retvrn to our glorious primitive past

[lapdoglover-deactivated20260510]

For what it’s worth, some Marxist Leninists do have a bad habit using capitalist metrics for determining development I’ve found instead of analyzing things instead of like, productive forces and quality of life. But this person isn’t criticizing that they’re just voicing imperialist anxieties in progressive language.

[lapdoglover-deactivated20260510]

The average impcore anarchist cares more about the lives of goldfish the local aquarium then they do Latin Americans.

[corpsehusk-creaturedoll]

getting into transfem culture? i'll show you something interesting.

the two types of transfem culture are "co-opted by tmes" and "harmful to the greater trans community". all transfem culture is placed into these two categories.

blahaj? co-opted. referring to each other by familial roles? harmful to the community. the term egg? co-opted. age regression? harmful to the community.

tranny? co-opted. transfeminism? harmful to the community. despite being co-opted into forcemasc, forcefem is "harmful to the community".

[b-side-takes]

idiots when they've gotta share space with trans men:

[fulgrims-big-naturals]

see so if you acknowledge being an asshole why did you still choose to go be an asshole on someone elses post like did you know that being self aware does not absolve you of anything how did you think and then literally type out "yeah this is an asshole move" and then still make the asshole move like why was that necessary

[b-side-takes]

i do think that claiming All Of Trans Culture as transfem only and getting pissed when Other Trans People participate in it is more of an issue especially when the Other Trans People's achievements and such are consistently and systematically erased to a much greater degree but sorry for not phrasing my objections to being further erased in my community in a Nice and Pleasant way

[plaidos]

You are a transmisogynist. You are literally saying that it is your right — no, your responsibility — to treat trans women poorly online because you have decided that (1) trans men are “consistently and systematically eraser to a much greater degree” and that (2) somehow, this is trans women’s faults

first of all, stop fucking whining about “erasure” you pathetic fragile man: some of us are actually being targeted by institutional violence rather than just being left out of instagram posts. Trans women have a lower employment rate than trans men, we have worse housing & job security, we are more likely to be assaulted (sexually or otherwise), we are more likely to be arrested and go to prison, we are more likely to be murdered, we are paid less, we attend college less & we are systematically excluded from trans spaces across the world. I’m sorry that women are daring to discuss the problems we actually have to face, rather than the fact that not everybody is talking about us and how special we are all the time.

Secondarily, if you want transmasc culture and achievements to be celebrated, one of you should try actually achieving something other than yelling about how hard it is to be paid more than trans women and how you can’t get away with peddling antifeminism without being called a misogynist. Maybe have a culture that isn’t just throwing a tantrum that we won’t let men co-opt our shit any more.

This reply unfortunately highlights the actual problem at play — this guy doesn’t care about how trans women feel, or what we have contributed to trans culture worldwide: he only cares that icky girls are playing with his toys and now they’re a girl thing. Stupid girls take everything from boys.

It is legitimately baffling how obviously sexist the majority of trans men are when you take “trans” out of their statements. If a cis man was going around screaming at how it’s so unfair that women wanted to be acknowledged for their cultural contributions, we would immediately recognise that as gamergate tier shit. Your entire comment screams, “NOOOO PEOPLE CAN’T THINK GIRLS CAME UP WITH THIS!! THE LEFT HATES MEN” dude you sound like Ben fucking Shapiro.

"never be fooled into thinking votes don't matter. votes terrify tyrants, it's why they rig elections" seems almost like a victim-blaming mentality to me, at the very least. is it the victims of reactionary regimes' fault for not voting hard enough? rather than a structural feature of a system designed to preserve the rule of said tyrants? let's all get more serious
