I cannot give birth

what's more,

there is a gaping

hole in my

stomach through

which strangers

can see where

my womb

isn't

they do not

say I'm sorry

for your loss.

they stick their

hands inside and

they look stern

when they tell me

it's a disgusting

hole

"wise master," said the student, "how can i attain greatness at posting?"

"simple," replied the master. "through patience and long practice."

"but master," said the student, bursting out with impatience, "every time i go online i see people my age getting 50k notes, 100k notes!"

the master chuckled. "the self-assuredness of the 22-year-old lends itself well to the occasional callow foray into posting, it's true. but for posts of true substance, one must turn to the mentally ill 30-something tgirls. observe."

she pulled up a post on her phone. the student peered at it. he did not laugh. he said, "but master -- this post only has 12 notes. and it's not even funny."

"kill yourself," said the master.

I refuse to reblog callout posts because I'm a prison abolitionist

kalichnikov

In all my years in this website, and I've been here a long time, I can't recall a single instance of a callout post leading to actual restitution for the victims of the alleged harm the person was accused of. Even in cases where the accusations were true. Even in cases where there was legitimate harm done to another person.

Remember the sixpencee child slave thing? What happened there, exactly? Was the kid freed? No? They were just run off the website? OK so what good exactly did that do?

Remember the bone stealing witch? What exactly did that witchhunt accomplish? The person got arrested, oh that's great, the american justice system surely rectified the situation

And again, those are instances where the accusations were true and involved real substantive harm to another person. We used to joke on here how callout posts were shit like "receipts below: [several paragraphs of petty fandom drama] [three paragraphs of petty interpersonal drama involving cheating on partners or stealing food out of the fridge or something] [fabricated evidence that the person is responsible for the murder of JonBenét Ramsey]"

And that was back in the 2010s. The meta has changed. Callouts used to be a tool people used to point out actual harm a person had done, rarely, and more commonly were used as a means of bullying somebody over petty drama. Nowadays they're used to manufacture outrage and harassment against marginalized populations. They are a weapon bigots use to turn us against each other. A few manufactured accusations here, some out of context or clipped screenshots there, and people who should be standing in solidarity with each other against white supremacy, patriarchy, cisheteronormativity, are instead devouring each other.

It's sinister as shit, dude, and people will still share these accusations without a second thought. So, why? What is the point? What's the best case scenario here? Raising "awareness?" what the fuck is that supposed to accomplish? Will we get the oh-so-trustworthy authorities involved? Are we hoping for an arrest? A conviction? Throwing a queer or poc person in prison so they can be abused and assaulted and humiliated behind bars? Is that who we are?

Callouts and the like don't serve any real good in the world. At a macro scale they divide us when we should be standing together, and at a micro scale they result in deeply traumatic never-ending harassment and threats and doxxing and worse to a person who almost definitely does not deserve it. And again, for what? A sense of "justice?" this is not justice. This is retribution. It is punishment.

It's fucking cop behavior, and I'm not gonna participate in it.

my take on the "can trans men be lesbians?" thing is that i would never ever comment on a stranger's identity and i would never tell someone i don't know what they can or can't do but also like. come on. if you're explicitly choosing to be a man you can get mad when women don't want to date you.

tofu-rebecca

if you're going into a space where there are women explicitly saying "I do not want men involved in my romance" and you are actively identifying as a man you cannot get upset when they don't want to date you or are uncomfortable with you being there

tofu-rebecca

i also deeply empathize with every trans femme lesbian who has had to watch her existence debated and been seen as a pervert for loving women see most of the lesbian community go "oh yeah you have a vagina, you have the Unbreakable Woman Bond that means we are connected forever" and get a little frustrated about that

tofu-rebecca

Also: do you think a cis man could be a lesbian without identifying as a woman? if not, and you think trans men can, i think you're just speaking from bioesstentialism and maybe don't really think trans men are fully men in the way cis men are

tofu-rebecca

i'm remembering that trans man/lesbian i knew who was mad the girl he was seeing ID'd as straight its like damn maybe you don't really see yourself as a man.

Saying this with all the love in my heart, "Trans" is not a magical title that erases all social biases and discriminations you hold in your mind the moment you transition.

You have to actually ACTIVELY unlearn all that shit. You can actually be trans AND hold TERF and racist beliefs, it is in fact very easy.

Read studies and essays, Engage with the works of other minorities, Don't think you're just better by virtue of losing *some* privilege.

i wish there was a way to say "you're right, but this is really ineffective and even counterproductive messaging to anyone who doesn't already agree with you" without sounding like an asshole

i tried looking this up and it didnt seem to give me a concrete answer but in your eyes, is the rocky horror picture show transphobic? (or to phrase it better, transmisogynistic towards trans women given the unfortunate stereotypes?) ive never watched this movie nor am i too aware about its last so id like some more insight if youre fine on giving it

definitely yes. it centers around a transmisogynistic caricature who is a "transvestite from the planet transsexual" who rapes half the cast, murders a captive, and essentially transes the survivors

the creator comes off as deeply closeted, talking a lot over the years about their gender but also saying trans women can't be women. the show, to me, definitely seems to reflect a lot of internalized transmisogyny. don't get me wrong, this makes it an interesting and at times somewhat cathartic watch! to an extent it feels like it cheekily plays with and revels in transmisogynistic stereotypes, and the villain's final song before dying gives them a grain of pathos in the 11th hour. a sort of transfeminist read of the play is possible. if you squint

I adore my local theater and its actors, but when some friends invited me to go to the show with them, I stayed home, because I wanted to still be able to watch performers I loved (all tme), and I knew seeing them do this show would make me hate them. I think it's possible to enjoy the show while deconstructing it through a critical transfeminist lens, but I'm under no illusions that it's become a staple of queer culture because TMEs just love to deconstruct its transmisogyny. no, people love to fawn over a ~scary and controversial~ transmisogynistic caricature. many get offended and defensive at transfeminist criticisms of the show, treating it as being above critique because it's a classic. transfeminists are annoying buzzkill prudes for taking issue. the villain from the planet transsexual surely can't be transmisogynistic because they're not explicitly called a trans woman. we're just looking for reasons to get offended

no, lol. it's dire out there. if someone just has to see rocky horror then ok, I prescribe one hour of transfeminist reading for each instance of sexual assault or harassment committed onstage by the transvestite from the planet transsexual

For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.
