"Love is love" is a milquetoast cishet marketing phrase

Pride is a FUCK YOU to a society that wants us dead.

A temple caretaker watching a volcano eruption in Bali [s]

Tan prepared to photograph the sunrise at the Gates of Heaven but the weather didn’t cooperate. However, he didn’t leave the location and stayed around for a bit, and nature presented him with this photo opportunity.

“Waking up at 3am to catch the sunrise at the famous Bali Gates of Heaven only to be disappointed as I was received by gloomy skies. Nonetheless I was soaking in the peaceful presence of the sacred ground, when suddenly Mt. Agung started smoking from afar. Standing in the middle of the gates is the local guardian of the Lempuyang Temple. Thankful to be at the right place at the right time to capture this once in [a] life time, incredible moment on camera.”

Honestly man I kind of love telling able people I used to be a support worker. The response is always ableist but sometimes it's in a surreal and fascinating way.

Once I had someone do the whole "that seems so hard, you must be so patient" standard routine. I ask her, "why's that?" You know, why do I need to be some kind of virtuous martyr to watch 90s cartoons with other disabled people for $30 an hour?

And she says to me, with full seriousness and a look of utter dread on her face,

"All the biting."

OK mate. What do you mean. What biting. What are you on about.

"The biting," she repeats, as if it's obvious and I ought to intuitively know what she means. Then she kind of snaps her teeth to demonstrate. "You know?"

No I don't know. What do you mean biting.

"They bite," she says. Eyes wide, dead serious. "The, um, the Slow People. They bite."

Melany, I says to her I says, they're not damn draculas.

HUH?? This is so infinitely hilarious holy fuck. I have worked in an afterschool program with disabled & ND kids at which one kid continued like punching me n stuff during one shift (I quit after) but that had nothing to do with the ND she was the Boss's kid and also they left me to fend for myself as the new hire 💀💀

ok note to self i gotta leave the house regularly so that i dont feel like im slowly transforming into an evil fucking shadow clone of myself

syn4k

So as it turns out your sense of self doesnt exist in a vacuum. You gotta actually use it and bounce it off of other people like echolocation to see where you are as a person and shit. So if you dont regularly interact with other people the echoes just get weaker and weaker and before you know it your personality is a blurry fucked up fog clone of its former self. which it sucks because this makes it really hard to interact with people again but yknow

dystopia au where we are all assigned one of two chosen genders at birth

peppylilspitfuck

Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be assigned before birth. The people are so excited to conform they throw “Gender reveal parties” to make sure their offspring exist in a strict binary since before they can even form thoughts.

slightlykylie

Children are color-coded according to their binary assignment.

darkersolstice

One of the genders is seen as inherently inferior.

This all sounds really effing creepy when you put it that way

And if you deviate from the assigned gender you can be disowned by your family, fired from your job, and beaten by authorities.

Can I be honest with yall I don't want to hear SHIT against cishets at pride this year

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing. Let Hetero Jessica throw some biodegradable glitter at a municipal parade

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

people should be allowed to have low ambition, and also be able to feed a family on the salary of a cashier at a convenience store.

#wanting to have a family is high ambition these days imo

i love you semicolon. no one look at my 80 word sentence

a lot of my disillusionment with the trans "community" comes down to the fact that too many of you take "gender is different from sex" and go "ah ok, so instead of saying women are fragile and men are strong, I should say afabs are fragile and amabs are strong. to be Inclusive"

then you just treat gender like a surface level aesthetic draped over what someone "actually" is. really is indistinguishable from terf rhetoric

mousidy

you all need to unpack your bioessentialism, but we also need a better theory of gender than "it's just dressup." I will pick my words carefully here, but the word "gender" itself refers to so many different phenomena that have been lumped together, and we need to un-lump them

mousidy

in a feminist context, "gender" has historically referred to externally imposed categorization and the internalization and performance of said categories. in a paper I wrote on this subject, I called this sense of the word "extrinsic gender"

"intrinsic gender," on the other hand, is what I used to refer to the sense of the word "gender" that a lot of trans people are talking about when they discuss social gender dysphoria and euphoria. it's the internal sense of category that's resistant to external impositions

but then we also use the word "gender" to refer to subconscious sex, which is the term Julia Serano coins in Whipping Girl to name the phenomenon we're talking about when we talk about bodily dysphoria. it is the "gender" being "affirmed" by gender affirming healthcare like HRT and bottom surgery

so, "gender" is: a social classing system, a performance, and at least two internal phenomena as well. and I really don't know if it's doing us a service to conflate all of these things!

mousidy

a lot of people lately seem to be going heavy on the "performance" use of the word, ignoring (intentionally or otherwise) social classing, intrinsic gender, and subconscious sex. this seems to have led to a lot of "progressive" people treating trans women like men "amabs" who wear womanhood as a costume, and nobody understands why that's wrong because they also think gender is just a performance

pawberri

And I think its relevant that people always misunderstand Judith Butler's intent with casting gender as "performative". They meant it in the philosophical sense, a social concept that can only exist through the actions of a social agent. You "perform gender" the same way you "perform tasks". Gender doesn't just exist, it must be created through actions. Society incentives certain actions to be performed in order to construct the gender binary, and if you do not perform those actions in the correct combination it disrupts the binary cohesion of gender as a social construct. But the gender binary as a social construct that can be dismantled doesn't naturally disprove subconcious sex.

Most people instead have a moralizing definition of it as a performance in the sense of an actor or a liar, something that isn't real because its done to convince someone of something completely false. This ends up rewarding people who treat gender as meaningless and silly like cis people who "dont care" about gender, or GNC TME celebrities and drag performers, or gender abolitionist transphobes, and punishes anyone who has an unacceptable investment in their subconcious sex and the way they are treated by others. Aka trans people. And of course trans women are opened to hyper-scrutiny in this framing since womanhood is treated as the most "performative" gender.
