Jousting at the festival to impress your lady love!!!

Making girls beg before I kiss them for the first time is admittedly a mean bit of sadism but it makes me feel sooo wanted to have her desperate for first contact

writing a movie about a violent man in a dress who kills women out of a desire to become one and then insisting over and over that it can't be transphobic (despite it's cultural influence to the contrary) because he isn't a real tranny is. well it's beyond parody isn't it.

[mars-hollow]

reallyyy not a fan of the habit people have of deflecting guilt for making abhorrent and obvious caricatures of trans women in media by insisting that it was actually super progressive because he wasn't a real transsexual!! you see the same shit with rhps. just a complete failure to take some accountability and say "yeah that was insensitive we shouldn't have depicted a real group of people that way and it has brought them material harm as a result."

[emrakulsstrongestkitty]

It's so frustrating when people pull the "but he isn't a trans woman," like yes, the transmisogynistic caricature will not be called a woman by the source material, please consider why that is

[lunaticchimaera]

"The Hateful Image of You is a community building thing for us though." "We felt so safe in The Hateful Image of You it let us explore ourselves." "The Hateful Image of You inspired women to join imperialist government organizations." "Honestly I dont even care how you feel about The Hateful Image of You it doesn't matter that nobody acknowledges the affect it has on You." "I have personally helped facilitate dozens of productions of The Hateful Image of You its not amazing its just a movie."

Silence of the Lambs, Ace Ventura, RHPS, Sleepaway Camp, Longlegs, Psycho, the list goes on and on and on and The Hateful Image of You lives on in the hearts of everyone around us and TME people expect us to just, not care? Is it so hard to empathize with a trans woman for one minute that they can't even conceive of having The Hateful Image of You depicting yourself in a warped portrait with blood smeared on it and how it makes us feel? Especially that its a beloved community gathering thing to take part in The Hateful Image of You? That The Hateful Image of You unites everyone else in enjoying it? That the sharing of it perpetuates its renewal over and over again?

Nah, I'mma be a loud pissed off tranny about it. The least I can do to fight what kills so many of us before we can even be ourselves is shit on every one of these shitty fucking things yall make. Fuckin Hell.

Recent events have prompted some discussion about Matt "car hammers" Mullenweg and his transmisogynistic stalking going under the radar compared to the current reporting by news media. I myself lamented in 2024 that the world would never know how a ceo stalked and exposed one of its trans users.

That said, there are verified sources that reported on the issue, enough to justify a whole section in matts "Public Disputes" section of his wikipedia page:

Matt Mullenweg - Wikipedia

Is it justice? No. But just the fact that it exists and will forever mark this man's career is more than I could have hoped for

This is what hieroglyphs and figures in ancient Egyptian temples looked like before their colors faded. They were recreated using a polychromatic light display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, following thorough research.

3 times as safe

[nekrotiize]

so staff might be terminating random transfems like dozens of times within a day on pride month and they might be literally taking the trans colors out of the progress flag and they might be perfectly happy letting nazis openly doing constant sexual harassment campaigns with the express purpose of trying to kill the target. but at least they brought pjackks blog back! that makes up for it! happy pride month!

[nekrotiize]

im not going to lie girls its really pissing me off just how much people are focusing on pjackk and his ban status.

[nekrotiize]

EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT PJACKK AND START CARING ABOUT TRANS WOMEN

[lesbian-sweeney-todd]

What you must understand is:

1. Men are systematically privileged over women.

2. Men love to take advantage of that privilege while simultaneously denying that it exists.

3. This dynamic does not change when the men and women in question are trans.

[lesbian-sweeney-todd]

Men get very upset when confronted with this!

northernlion: Do. Do you ever think about those half-time events where they give away free tuition to whichever college student could sink a basketball into the hoop? How fucked up would it be if you were the person who didn't sink in a basketball and your only thought while an entire stadium is applauding your classmate is "If I'd only sunk one more ball in I wouldn't have had crippling debt"? They got college students out here in the damn hunger games and what? (reads chat) "...hey NL it's just for fun you know what fun is right". you're morally bankrupt. and you will never see the light of heaven. motherfucker. (shouting) AT LEAST IF THEY WERE KILLING EACH OTHER FOR SPORT WE COULD BE HONEST ABOUT WHAT IS ACTUALLY GOING ON THERE!!! (adjust headphones) Anyway...

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

[mousidy]

see also "why can't you just be a femboy/feminine man/etc"

[meadowsofashandwisdom]

arguing that sex and gender are different seperate characteristics is what got us "Why yes you're a woman, but you're also a male and this is for females only"

Sex as a biological binary is a social construct to fit biology into existing social beliefs of gender in an attempt to create a biological basis for sexism.

I honestly think being intersex is WAY more common than a lot of people realize.

Like, not just 1.7%-2% kind of common. I mean like 10-20% kind of common. That's how common I actually think intersexuality is, especially when I hear all these stories about people who just realized they had vulvar hypospadias, since they thought it was perisex-typical. Or all these people who just realized that PCOS and NCAH are intersex, since they thought those were perisex-typical. Or all these people who are starting to accept that their micropenises are intersex traits instead of feeling ashamed about them. And on and on.

[prismatic-bell]

I've actually been saying this for a few years. Because so many forms of intersexism are things you'd only ever even know about if you got genetic testing, and for most people, there's no reason to.

[maimonideznuts-temporary]

A lot of being intersex is like "precocious puberty", clitoromegaly (large clitoris), micro phallus (very small penis), afab with chest and facial hair before menopause, amab with breast growth and minimal body hair... Etc. Any sexual development or endogenous cause of sexual development that deviates from the rather narrow boundaries of clinically "Male" and "Female" is intersex.
