Zionazis when you tell them that they can't kill children and steal land.

And no the people around you don't care that you're a Jew but they do care if you think being a Jew means you get to carry out a genocide.

"I go to sleep. I wake up, check the news and..."

Maybe you should check the news and see how many additional people your genocidal country has killed that day and stop playing the victim.

Notice how this guy has access to food, internet, water, a warm bed, AC, heating, jobs, financial resources, toilets, internet, technology, etc...resources Palestinians don't have? Antisemitism my asshole. This guy is living a peaceful life. What he is seeing is the increase in people being angry about genocide in Gaza, Lebanon and the West Bank

"Omg Leia would totally be a Sith, she's so mean, not like Luke who's such a sweet boy"

Respectfully, shuuuuut the fuck up. Luke didn't grow up in the same conditions as her, for better or for worse. He didn't learn to become a leader and to make himself be heard and be respected as an authority to become a leader of the rebellion against one of the worst powers of their universe. She can't stand up to Vader being all sweet and shy. She's a strong woman but that doesn't mean she isn't kind and compassionate. "She wouldn't forgive Vader" maybe, after all, he did explode her entire PLANET, but that doesn't make her mean? That makes her reasonable. Just because she's a woman with a strong personality, it doesn't immediately make her a bitch. Her entire life was devoted to give freedom to the Galaxy and y'all are out here saying she would turn to the dark side...

[leiasnonbinarywife]

anyone who says leia is a bitch can eat rocks!!! she's angry because she's suffered. she bottles things up and lashes out incorrectly and pushes people away and has no time to process any of it because she has to get things done. and she does!!! even if she was a mean character 24/7, she cares deeply about her people. but then again, she's not mean most of the time!! she's kind!! she's compassionate!!! she's polite to life forms other people consider inferior, she's a humanitarian, she worries about luke after ben's death. she's sick of people's bullshit and very traumatized and neglects her own emotions, but she never stops moving in favor of the rebellion.

[vretoile]

People saying she's mean as if not every single one of her crashouts were valid. Imagine going through an insane amount of bullshit and then a man is bothering you. I'd be pissed too. Anyways Luke and Leia both are my babies. They do no wrong.

"I'm only criticizing the people who are lazy on purpose" is just not the reassurance people think it is when nearly every disabled person has been accused of not really being disabled and just being lazy on purpose

[hellyesbro]

It really is crazy the way anybody ever managed to push the idea that there is a real, tangible "transmasc erasure". If you look up books, comics, movies, plays, etc. starring a trans protagonist pretty much every single time they are going to be trans masc or TME nonbinary. You have some notable exceptions like Nevada, or Detransition Baby, but pretty much every one of those is going to be BY a transfem author telling our own stories. But they will swear that transmascs are being erased in media compared to trans women so you will go through a list of the top 50 trans books and top 10 trans films for pride and the top 8 queer comic lists and they will pretty much all be about a transmasc experience and you will be like. okay so I reviewed 60 pieces of media and 5 of them were interested in representing trans women and the rest were transmasc or TME nb what do you mean by erasure and they will look you in the eye and say with a full chest "I am jealous that you guys get more blood libel than us"

"we're all faggots in the eyes of the state!" "we all have it just as bad!"

like. come on now

trans mennnn pspspsps understand your relative privilege over your transfem sisters and use it to support and uplift us instead of pretending not to have the structural leverage necessary to harm us. ooooo you know you want to build queer solidarity

[jaepidgey]

Support our trans sisters. We are privileged in that we are seen as “desiring the superior” (masculinity) rather than the supposedly illogical “desire for the inferior” (femininity). Those in power can make sense of trans men, because men hold more relative power— but seeing womanhood as desirable, despite all the barriers set up by society and all the discrimination levied upon feminine people? That breaks the system entirely. Our trans sisters are out here fighting the system at its roots. The least we can do is speak out for their cause, as well. All or nothing, folks. Our causes are interconnected in the face of tearing down patriarchy and rigid social norms based on biological sex. What happened to “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere”

[hauntedfragmentgeode]

Queer unity has been trying as hard as possible to downplay any possible transfem issue. Pay gap adding up to thousands a year? Not a big deal. V coding? Never mention it. Trans women are much more likely to be sent to an early grave than their male counterparts? Stop bringing that up. Trans people collaborating with kiwifarms? Just internet drama.

You know what IS an important issue? Getting called a fucking birthday boy. They get all hands on deck about it. They will write VERY long posts about how important it is you not use it, and that anyone who does must be punished as severely as possible

There's only one explanation. The lives of trans women are so worthless to them, so fucking disposable, that a trans man getting invalidated is actually more important to them. That's how these people, who demand we view them as family and allies, who think we should be ready to die for them, view us.

I know people who treat house flies with more respect than that.

[carriebeepo]

forever reminded of this fucking yt reply i got in a thread abt transmisogyny, this kinda attitude is so common. even when you do bring up shit that disproportionately or exclusively affects transfems the response is "what abt me" or downplaying it

[claire-the-apocalypse]

"Damn, v-coding sounds terrible... I hope they don't do that to trans men, too!" Because obviously it's *bad* when it happens to trans women, but oh dear god, THINK OF THE TRANS MEN that this might hypothetically happen to in a different situation!! I'm going to fucking cry. Trans women are so unvalued, these people look at the reality that trans women have to wake up to every single day, and they respond with "yeah, it's terrible when the sex slave gets raped. That must really hurt! But god, imagine if a HUMAN was raped instead? HORROR!"

[kuttithevangu]

The thing I dislike about alt histories where real life monarchs have been made both gay and unproblematic is that it seems to imply that gay monarchs have not existed in history but if they did they would be cool. Which isn’t true. They have existed and they were just as bad as straight people. And I think it is disrespectful to real queer history to pretend that queer people have never been absolute bastards

[elokitties]

everyone needs to calm down about everything right now. unless you are worked up for a legitimate reason then of course, you should be angrier maybe. what I’m saying is let’s all take it down to a 1 or 2. unless of course you need to be at an 11.

[evilgirlbat]

"shinigami eyes is an extension for trans people-"

nope, sorry, it's for transfems specifically.

"-to check accounts for transphobia-"

you mean transmisogyny.

"but trans women started using it to-"

it was ours to begin with.

"-mark innocent people red."

mark transmisogynists red. you don't think they're transmisogynists because you don't take transfems seriously.

can you find someone marked red, look me in the eyes, and honestly tell me they haven't done any of the following:

-said men are oppressed/misandry is an issue

-defended afab-only spaces

-opposed transfeminists

-claimed transfeminist terminology is an attack on other marginalized groups

-spread rumors about a transfem being a predator without evidence

-participated in lolcowing a transfem

-tried to reclaim femboy culture as a non-transfem

-defended male socialization theory

-implied transfems are generally dangerous

-accused a transfem of being an evil pervert while excusing non-transfems engaging in similar kinks

-claimed transmascs have no privilege or power over transfems

-claimed most transfeminists are white/bourgeoisie

-called trans women bitches, cunts, or racial slurs

because any of that is a valid reason for a transfem to not trust you. i cannot stress that enough. any single one of those is a good enough reason for a random transfem to signal to others "be cautious." and if you can't understand why transfems are wary around people like this, you need to make an effort to learn.

I said this far my eloquently on my last blog but "transphobes see trans women as men, so trans women are victims of misandry" is such a transphobic way to talk about shit. 1) the transphobe is wrong, you don't need to play devil's advocate. All you do is signal to trans people that you don't think they're actually their gender. You're making the issue worse 2) trans women are women. always. Yes including if they don't pass or aren't taking hrt. 3) misandry isn't fucking real.

[ndnbutch]

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

[bebsi-cola]

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

[bebsi-cola]

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

[pekkhum]

I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.

The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.

[nekomimidusteon]

it's cool how a cornerstone of queer history that everyone simply must love and appreciate is wildly transmisogynistic, the creator deeply despises trans women, and if one criticizes it in any way twelve thousand TME queers will crawl out of the woodwork to chide you for how "progressive it was for its time" and how "you just need to let people love things" and "really it says something about you that the transmisogynistic caricature made by a known transmisogynist that turns to the camera to say "I am trans" three times is being read as meant to be trans"
