this is like november 5th for people whose november 5th was november 5th

[makingqueerhistory]

There's a lot of queers out there that find it hard to plan for a future wherein society doesn't want them in it. Can you offer a queer reading list of queer folx who have resisted authoritarian regimes? Any particular figures that stand out? Quotes? Are there other Claude Cahuns in history to offer inspiration in these times? Any stories of support networks that persisted throughout the AIDs genocide like the San Diego Blood Sisters? I'm sorry for so many questions; this topic has been weighing heavily on me.

I absolutely understand this, and I have some stories for you.

For articles:

George Everett Klippert tells the story of a man who changed the shape of a country because he was loved.

Jackie Shane tells the story of a trans woman of colour in the fifties who had a happier story than you'd expect.

Simon Tseko Nkoli tells the story of a man who fought back.

Elvira de la Fuente Chaudoir, A.K.A Agent Bronx tells the story of a woman who survived.

About fascists making caring and having sympathy "cringe"

Punched me in the face when she had a literal Nazi quote for this

Abbiesr on instagram

[darthbob88]

One interesting corollary here is that you can diffuse a lot of fascist enthusiasm by making it cringe. "Look at these insecure dweebs marching in their stupid costumes and screaming about how much they hate immigrants." "Look at this goober who's gotten splattered with a milkshake."

They're still a serious threat, because a dweeb with a car can still kill a lot of people, but if we make them look stupid and awful, people will be less enthusiastic about joining.

[jewishvitya-movingblogs]

Yeah, I think I heard something about how fascists tend to love things that show them as evil and dangerous as long as it also shows them as cool.

[tim-official]

there are two competing sects on this website - one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "neurodivergent" and one that uses the word "spicy" to mean "sexual content." i do not like either of them

[anarcho-gamerist]

I use spicy to describe food

terfs would lose their minds if they were exposed to 2000s-2010s "a girl can do anything a boy can do, including beating them at sports" messaging like why are you all acting like nobody has ever said this and that it's radical to think that women aren't inherently worse at things. open your mind. read some feminist theory. touch some grass. the most basic banal middle-class white woman feminism of the 2010s looks fucking radical and visionary compared to the misogynistic victimization complex y'all are peddling

[kamlo]

please stop treating the word neurodivergent like it means the overlap between autism and adhd

[kamlo]

i dont know how to articulate this well but some of you act like neurodiversity starts with adhd and ends with autism. you talk about "the neurodivergent experience" and everytime you mean "the overlapping experience of adhd and autism."

please remember us when talking about neurodiversity. ocd, dyslexia, dyscaculia, personality disorders, tourettes, intellectual disabilities, schizo-spec disorders, etc. all fall under neurodiversity.

please stop saying neurodivergent when you mean "autism and adhd."

this post is okay to reblog but do not clown on it

[intersexbunny]

Sorry why are you spreading misinformation about pcos? Pcos isn't an intersex condition while some people with pcos may have an intersex condition they aren't one and the same at all. Growing excess facial hair has nothing to do with your sexual organs

intersexuality is not exclusively about sexual organs. hyperandrogenism has long been considered intersex because it greatly affects secondary sex characteristics. it's a major feature of several other intersex variations.

interACT includes PCOS as an intersex variation. are you really going to argue with a widely respected intersex activist organization because you're a little gatekeepy piece of shit???

there are also plenty of intersex variations that don't involve sex organs. you're ignorant as fuck and don't know what intersex means.

[intersexbunny]

[ID: a question on a survey asking "What if your biological sex?" with only two answers: male and female]

neither. none of the above.

let's standardize having an intersex button.

HELL YEAH ABSOLUTELY!!! this is a post for the aromantics too‼️

[spiky-observer-asylum]

Non passing trans men don't benefit from misogyny whatsoever, besides possibly on the internet. If they are seen as a woman in someone's eyes, especially legally, they do not benefit from it. If you are not seen as a man by society, regardless of if you are or not, you do not benefit from misogyny.

It's that fuckin simple.

[ichliebemeinkissen]

It's so interesting to me because these people never want to elaborate as to how. If you ask if it's based on the simple identity of being a man, only saying you are one, then why don't women do that? before a femicide why doesn't a woman just go "no i'm a man"? am i, a multigendered trans woman, benifiting from male privelege? there's so many weird things you can draw from this..

or, alternatively, it's being percieved as a man. which means perisex cis butch women have male privelege. because masculinity=male privelege now?

but if you point out the flaws with either of these they get mad at you, think YOU'RE the one saying this instead of just pointing out what their rhetoric inherently implies, & then say "no it's entirely different" with no further reasoning

they truly just want to enforce a cisfeminist view onto trans people. the afabs i mean transmascs/tmes go in the "male oppressor" category, & ""amabs""/women/tmas go into the "poor oppressed delicate woman" category.. it truly is stupid if you think about it for more than two seconds

[finally-figured-it-out]

There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

[finally-figured-it-out]

There once was a man from Verdun

[genteelblackhole42]

There once was a man from the sticks Whose limericks stopped at line six. They were fine till line five Then they took quite a dive — But the problem is easy to fix If you just ignore the last line, it doesn't even follow the rhyme scheme oh god I've really lost control of this thing I'm so sorry...

[shredsandpatches]

There once was a man

From Cork who got limericks

And haiku confused.

But he failed at the sport

Because he wrote them too short

[closet-keys]

all the trans bathroom bans have this awful tendency to push the overton window of even trans advocacy by trans people to the right

so many trans people now are focused on pleading to let trans women use women's restrooms and to let trans men use men's restrooms that I feel like the demand that was much more prominent even 5 years ago to construct non-segregated accessible bathrooms for everyone is almost nonexistent

[closet-keys]

I remember when trans advocacy around bathrooms involved points like:

the issue with sexual assault is the sexual assault, and it's wrong no matter where it takes place and no matter what genders of people are involved

not every trans person is a man or a woman and they also need places to relieve themselves.

people of all genders need assistance with relieving themselves and the people who assist them may be any gender. this applies for babies, young children, disabled people of all ages, people who are incapacitated by substance use, sickness, or injury, etc. It is ridiculous to expect people to only be able to relieve themselves if the person they trust to help them is their same gender

gender segregation of public space tells men that they are not expected to treat women with respect. this does not reduce misogynist sexual violence, it further naturalizes it.

[closet-keys]

people in the notes are discussing this same trend happening with discourse around sexgender segregated sports and legal sexgender markers on ID. absolutely.

this is also happening with trans healthcare. puberty blockers used to be a compromise! the original demand was for adolescents to have bodily autonomy over what kind of puberty to experience. then cis people fearmongered about kids not being old enough to know their gender, and so there was an effort to be like "okay well for kids who need more time before puberty, we can use this already existing treatment to delay puberty." now cis people fearmonger about the puberty blockers.

there is no way to meet in the middle and have that result in any move to the left. discourse around every single trans issue has moved to the right. this strategy of compromise is actively failing.
