So we have transmisogyny for trans women, lesphobia for lesbians, biphobia for bi people, gayphobia for gay men, aphobia, arophobia, intersexism, etc. Basically everyone gets their word, but trans men specifically are not allowed to do the same thing because, supposedly, trans men are completely unique in the queer community in that they don't experience any specific oppression.

I call bullshit.

[luckyladylily]

Even if we chalk up the marginalization of trans masculine people to a form of misogyny (a big if and I do not believe this is the case, but lets play devil's advocate for just a moment) it is necessarily a unique expression of misogyny. Trans masculine people are not treated like cis women, therefore we can't approach their advocacy as if they are cis women, and they need to be able to talk about their marginalization in a way they feel properly communicates it and emphasizes their unique struggles.

Just let them call it what they want to. Anything else is splitting hairs over verbiage when we are talking about advocacy for a group that is subject to extreme prejudice, often in the form of violence (most studies put it on par or worse than the violence experienced by trans women.)

Focusing on minor quibbles over the strict accuracy of verbiage that doesn't matter at all is part of what I am calling bullshit on. It is reminiscent of people who quibble over using the word "homophobia" because phobia implies fear instead of hate. Who cares what they call it. Get your priorities straight.

In 38 years of life I have learned 1 thing;

If anyone is ever training you to replace them in a position and tells you 'its an easy job I don't do much' what this means is that you are about to spend six months to a year catching up on all the stuff they didn't do and sorting out the stuff they did poorly.

In related news I finally managed to finish un fucking my predecessor's lack of a filing system.

[hungrymilliek]

And if they start a sentence with "You're not supposed to do it this way but...", you're about to learn some shit to make OSHA go:

[systlin]

My job is literally in safety and emergency management and that phrase makes me break out in hives. Which is to say that you are entirely one million percent correct.

[bisquid]

Alternatively by 'an easy job where they don't do much' what they mean is that they've got so much unwritten knowledge and experience stored up in their heads that they *genuinely believe* it's an easy low effort job and then leave you with a learning curve like a rocket launch and frantically spawning spreadsheets of all the shit they know off by heart

[fipindustries]

ok this looks ultra mega based, are you kidding me? can you imagine the bullshit i could get up to with this bad boy? fuck yes i want ten

Continuing in the trend of political cartoons depicting milquetoast moderate positions seem so much cooler and more badass than they are

[domina-honoribila]

I love how they add totally absurd things no one is asking for to make the idea look crazy. And still, I must emphasize, failing to make this look like a bad idea.

everyone has racism, transphobia, homophobia, sexism, misogyny, etc....it came free with your fucking being raised in a society

[bisexual-engineer-girl]

I'm racist, transphobic, homophobic, sexist, misogynistic, etc. and it's something I have to actively work against, and so do you

[arch-linux-official]

oh you’re not kidding

[fforsythiaaa]

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

[kidzbopdeathgrips]

oh my god i just saw her get onto an airship with a woman whose tophat has at least twice as many sprockets as mine. i will be killing myself with an elaborate pneumatic pistol tonight

[deadchannelradio]

anyway i bring that up because i think jason's singular hobby is that he's a line cook. which you would argue isn't a hobby at all and i would agree with you but Jason doesn't know how to have fun outside of the context of work and restaurants take all kinds of nutjobs. he interviews and shit and gets the job because he doesn't care about things like "being paid" a "livable wage" and seemed like he was on the least amount of drugs at the time of the interview. upon showing up the first day he's getting settled on the line and the servers come in to be like hey whats up man welcome and like the 5th server is none other than dick grayson. they look at each other in silent horror for 5 seconds before dick visibly comes to some sort of decision and is like. Hi Man I'm Rich Nice To Meet You. and jason is like. im jason. and then they have to pretend not to know each other from there on out until dick gets fired for exhibiting freak behaviors

[deadchannelradio]

dick gets a job as a server to exhibit his most unsettling self for once he spends all of his time being put together and nice and keeping people from biting each other and at this job he gets to be somewhat deranged to all of his coworkers. he's the pet freak. hes acting so hard it has actually looped back around to not acting at all. it's the kind of stuff you expect from a line cook like juggling the steak knives because it's dead or picking the lock into the restaurant when you're locked out but coming from a waiter its like uncanny valley. he never cries in the walk in. he gets screamed at by guests and doesn't even blink. a woman poured her drink in him once. he was the one to take out the forgotten mouse in a trap that nobody else would touch. he never writes down orders and has never forgotten one. one time the servers were having this somewhat classic discussion and someone was like Hey what was the last thing that made you cry? and he went "my dad" and walked away. he'd never mentioned having a dad before.

jason goes to work to be a line cook so normal it loops back around to being weird.

[deadchannelradio]

"hey rich so what's that dad of yours like?" dick voice the alive one or the dead one? (asker crumples like aluminum foil)

[deadchannelradio]

jason is so bewildering because he's like. this gigantic wall of meat of a man and he's got a gazillion scars and he's just like painfully regular. like hey man it's mothers day and you haven't even vaped on the line. everyone else has done cocaine. you havent even had coffee. you just finished closing down your station and now you're dishwashing. hello. "what. josé wants to go home too." ITS NOT THE DISHWASHING ITS THE LACK OF DRUGS. "i dont like drugs" ITS MOTHERS DAY!!!

[deadchannelradio]

"but jason IS weird" you might say. "he's an incredibly violent man and he says deranged things all the time!" this, i have to tell you, is a bog standard line cook.

[deadchannelradio]

they can't get away from seeming like they know each other because idk if youve ever worked with anyone you have a mildly to moderately antagonistic relationship with but the second you can crack on them you do it and the more you know about them the easier it is to do. one time dick busts into the kitchen to flounce around the water station dramatically and was like "UGHH i'm so BORED i wouldn't have come in if i'd known it was going to be like this it's DEAD out ther-" jason voice "Like your mom?" dead silence in the kitchen. jason is chuckling quietly into his minced shallots. Dick voice "Like yours" uncomfortable laughter. jason is still chucking into his shallots. when it gets busy later dick fires all of his orders at once.

[deadchannelradio]

it's also vitally important in fact critical that nobody in their family knows that dick and jason work together. dick doesn't talk about his day job because its way less interesting than anything else he does with his time and jason just doesn't talk. they dont even talk about it to each other like they just havent acknowledged it. jason didnt even know dick was a server before then like he knew dick had a job but dick's job is just Having A Job. if you had asked jason what dick did to pay the bills (provided Jason knows at this point that dick doesn't take bruce's money) he would be like well. he's employed. "well what does he do" employed things. like it's just not his business he's a snitch not a snoop. it's like Four Years Later that they both tell a story together about that time at that restaurant that the others find out they worked together for literally over half a year.

[deadchannelradio]

nobody even knew jason was employed. he's like "I still work there" and theyre like WHAT?? "pays good hours are fine people are alright why would i quit" WHY WOULD YOU WORK IN THE FIRST PLACE "bored"

[deadchannelradio]

jason isn't even like an all star line cook he's just alright. it's just following directions and he's good with a knife and generally doesn't burn himself

[deadchannelradio]

bruce specifically feels like there is something wrong with the two of them he's like both of you. why would you not mention this. i feel like this is beyond the scope of my bad parenting. i know i fucked up somewhat severe but this specifically i dont know where it came from and i would like you to both stop because people keep seeing you do things that are not well and they wont stop looking at me like i did it.
