*goes to Coachella in a white linen suit like an antebellum lawyer, sweating profusely and dabbing at my forehead with a handkerchief* now, I’m no fancy scientist, but would you folk know where a simple gentleman such as myself could obtain some acid? Now, I’m no big city lawyer, but could any of you fine youths point a country boy such as myself in the direction of some fucking acid?
It really is crazy the way anybody ever managed to push the idea that there is a real, tangible "transmasc erasure". If you look up books, comics, movies, plays, etc. starring a trans protagonist pretty much every single time they are going to be trans masc or TME nonbinary. You have some notable exceptions like Nevada, or Detransition Baby, but pretty much every one of those is going to be BY a transfem author telling our own stories. But they will swear that transmascs are being erased in media compared to trans women so you will go through a list of the top 50 trans books and top 10 trans films for pride and the top 8 queer comic lists and they will pretty much all be about a transmasc experience and you will be like. okay so I reviewed 60 pieces of media and 5 of them were interested in representing trans women and the rest were transmasc or TME nb what do you mean by erasure and they will look you in the eye and say with a full chest "I am jealous that you guys get more blood libel than us"

patricia taxxon is one of the best and most inventive producers working today and has been influential on me for her ideas on music theory and practice on drum compression. and it is shameful that she is known mostly for being stalked and harassed and lolcowed and having extensive documents made on her by kiwifarmers that a significant portion of otherwise "good" queer leftists online uncritically take as fact. she should be known for her bespoke synthesized snare drums
i grew up around muslims, i am also trans and leftist.
people in every queer and trans community i go to set an expectation: i should ofrever abandon my muslim past, i should explicitly stop associating yourself with it whatsoever, you either get to be queer or you either get to be raised-muslim.
in reality, there's no such expectation for christianity, and none of them are ready to dismantle their "inner christian" in their heads as much as they expect be to dismantle my "inner muslim"
none fo them get to admit how most first world countries are culturally christian, because christianity is "default" to them, as well as first world, as well as white.
me having a complicated relationship with islam doesn't mean i absolutely despise every piece of it. it means i distanced myself from ummah, but won't hear islamic criticism from non ex muslims at all, because you expect us to dismantle "our inner muslims" in ways you aren't ready to dismantle imperialism and racism in you.
your expectation is us "acting white", you don't want us unless we're that, which means you don't want us at all.
a lot of people claiming to want to uplift brown queer voices and such don't procced to do anything meaningful for them, or for brown people at all. it's just virtue signaling, homonationalism. you'd only care of brown people being queer, and you want the "brown" part of it gone as much as possible.
a lot of people say they want the leftist agenda to stop being us centric and imperialist, but then it's just pretending to care about it. you already made is so little and unhearable you'd have to get out of your way to seek for us speaking. then you'd not seek or if you find us, you will just pass by. hoping someone else would amplify the voice you took from us? and that someone else would hope for that too, so what?
you want us only when we agree with everything usa says about us, you want us until our lives don't put you into too much discomfort. when they put you into too much discomfort, you don't ask why, you'll restore the comfort by banishing us again. your tolerability of us is so intricately conditional, to meet those a third worlder has to build themselves into a first worlder mindset. this is your (inter)nationalism hey.
anyway, islamophobia hurt me more than islam did. now what
just so you know a tumblr user with "ubermensch" in their username what rants about "religious people not being human" on their blog replies saying i'm propagating nationalism with stating how all the hate (as in: ideological excuse to carpet bomb brown people) and "not doing anything good for them" like have it occured to you i am from, you know, a muslim majority country, maybe, just maybe, just an ounce of thought that that racialized girl might be NOT lying about it, maybe, maybe, or maybe you are what my grand grandpa used to shoot. a nazi.
now ask youself HOW COME racialized and third worlders are so invisible over here :^)
i don't wanna make it about a nazi roll call rally under my post
hey you who reposted it with your personal feelings and stories, you, the one who grew up muslim, in a muslim family. you, who grew you jewish, you who grew you crhistian in latam, who grew up hindu or any other confessional territorial group treated like dirt because you just feel that it's not actually about religion.
i saw your repost and your tags saying you relate, and it makes my heart sting as much as yours.
you who quit the religion and still can't stop catching rocks, because it has never been really about religion, i'm here and i'm here for YOU
you who have it complex in your head, way more complex that people expect it to be, i wanna hug you
i see what you all share, and please please please talk, don't shut up, because i won't either. you speaking to me and replying with understanding and relating is something dear to me, something worth not just quitting thinking it's useless to explain anything to the first world. i will overexplain so you can stand firmer and talk too, until you get the community and the sense of belonging you deserve.
i'm so thankful you reply to me and share it 💖
they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.
It just shifted to spanking your puppy’s ass, to make them take that thick knot. Like the good little play thing they are.
i don't really think it's like that at all
Fuck the haters. I believe in you
woa
Very shortly after coming out I went to this general queer event that had a pronoun circle. I was sitting next to a transmasc NB who was also at the event for the first time and we talked for a bit. After a while, the organiser of the local sapphic group (who had been present and paying attention during the pronoun circle) came over to us, remembered our names, and made a point of inviting the NB specifically to join the sapphic group, then walked off.
I felt awful, but I thought the problem must be with me, that I didn't pass well enough, that my voice was too masculine, that my makeup was bad, etc etc. Then, at the end of the event, the sapphic group organiser made an announcement, saying, "there's a whole group of women out there who I know are nervous about coming to our group, who are afraid we won't accept them, who are worried we'll exclude them, who have had bad experiences with sapphic groups in the past," I felt my spirits lift, I guessed the whole thing had been a mistake, I had misjudged her.
Then the payoff: "Yes, I'm taking about bisexual women in relationships with men, if that's you, please come to our meetings! We need more of you!" Several years later, I've still never been to a meeting of the sapphic group.
where is transgender flag "I'M TOO FAT FOR THIS HEAT"
FOUND IT
it's that time of the year again folks
"yo i love all my tgirls just as much as the next guy i just dont think they should ever be allowed to express gender euphoria or take pride in womanhood or find and build community because that hurts my boyfeelings :(((("
You Are Not The Centre Of The Universe By Virtue Of Being Transmasculine. extremely concerning, frankly
trans women constantly have their posts jumped on by men and are either masculinised or degendered and condescended to. you will see a post by trans women for trans women out in the wild and see it as a personal offence. do you also feel sick and gross when trans girls hold hands or kiss or just exist in public.
unbelievably fucking stupid
"leave them alone to figure themselves out" no I want trans women to be less lonely actually. why would leaving them alone be a good thing? it almost killed me.
"trans women need to be more lonely because I am experiencing discomfort" is a pretty horrific sentiment on a lot of levels
"i love all my tgirls as much as the next guy" which is to say, not at all because men are trash
'no one radically changes their personality worldview and politics just because of a brain injury' okay well i can see how it would be comforting to think that but unfortunately thats simply not true. that type of shit happens all the time
@clarencechampagne people claim otherwise because it's nice to imagine there's an inviolable inner sanctum of what you truly believe and who you truly are, and the notion that the core of your self can be changed not even from inside but by a bump on the head shakes people who emotionally rely on the notion of mental states being essential and transcendant, even when they're nominally a materialist. we like to think mind is safe from matter.
also coming from the political perspective people get very uncomfortable (understandably so) around the notion of people whose politics and conduct are cruel and harmful being that way because of a brain injury, stroke, illness, etc. some harm to them that they did not will. it breaks the notion of worldview and politics being powered by will and agency, which a lot of people, again, rely on for their moral political frameworks, even when they say they're materialist marxists.
To this view, If someone has harmful politics it means that they're a bad person. And if someone is a bad person, then they will that under their own agency. They chose to be a bad person and they could choose otherwise. The moral causation, under this view, arises solely from within the mind, rather than anything material. The notion that someone could become a harmful presence due to material situations outside of their control is deeply threatening to this sense of self, which is often taken for granted as common sense. The notion that we have ultimate and final control over ourselves, and the notion that we can keep our inner selves safe from the world by enforcing a determination on our own worldview, like, committing ideologically to a stance as protection from the world, is something that a lot of people, especially leftists, rely on, and the notion that you could get very badly hurt and come out of that with a brain that engages in harmful politics, engages in a harmful worldview, due to an injury, due to a disability, is morally threatening to a lot of people.
And I think that's understandable, but I don't think it's correct. I think there's a lot of compassion that's called for, regarding people who push back against the notion that, essentially, an injury, a disability, could make you what they see as a bad person. It's understandable why that would deeply freak you out and it's understandable why you wouldn't want to hear it. But I think the issue here is a deeper one of how people conceptualize ontology and ethics and morality and politics in general.
A lot of people see politics as about material, but they don't really fully grapple with the sense in which one's personal politics appear to arise from within the mind based on agency, but in fact are conditioned by material circumstances one experiences.
if anything happens in your life you should start having strange thoughts and beliefs
on one hand, i think her propensity for tantrum throwing is interesting. she lives her life in a constant state of repressed frustration, and only lets it out on things that don't seem to matter. at least, not to the outside observer. it's always the little things. that's just how it is. when you face a million tiny injustices every day, any one of them could be the straw that broke the camel's back. even if that straw is born of kindness - like someone lovingly making food for you that you just cannot stomach right now.
again, she's a very strongly written child. she lacks agency in ways children often do, and reacts to it exactly the way a child would. especially one that's as deeply repressed and closeted as june. i feel this is an aspect of her writing that's often overlooked, because a sizable chunk of readers are teenagers who have not unpacked that. and, unfortunately, even more lack experience of or even basic knowledge about transmisogyny, how it operates, and the effects it has on trans youth
on the other hand, she's literally cutes. it's cutes. she's cutes. you literally agree with me.
Yeah, im a PETA supporter. People for the epic troll of awesomeness
valve should add a "feminist games for sensitive boys" category on steam
