everything can be sorted on a sliding scale of "punk" (good) to "fascist" (bad). these are the only two ends of the scale it's possible to have. if something is "good" (for example, public libraries,) it cannot merely be Good, it is only possible that it be punk and THEN be good as a symptom of punk. but if you can't swing it to convincingly argue that public libraries are punk, then, well, I'm sorry, but the only option left is that libraries are in fact fascist.

Tagging the three people who might see this 🫡
I am getting really sick of seeing the sentiment that I as a Trans Woman doing things to help my dysphoria are me appeasing Cis people or me Harming myself.
Fucking stop posting that angels loose their wings when we get surgeries or voice train or buy clothes we like. Stop posting that you only see me getting bottom surgery as me trying to make some fucking cis transphobe happy. Stop posting about how you think it's not sexy if I don't have a girlfriend for you to fetishize and fantasize about what type of lesbian sex we'd have. Stop telling us to break up with folks who have loved and supported us because you assume we are too stupid to keep ourselves safe.
And especially take the word Transfeminist out of your bio if you are going to post these, because you are not fighting for my rights if you're just fucking shaming me for taking care of myself as a Trans person.
Also if you're white leave me out of your arguments about how "us" as trans woman have it worse especially because of me being black. My Blackness isn't yours, and neither is my Black Trans experience.
My life as a Black Trans sex worker is not for you to wave around to say that we suffer the most. We as Trans people fight together or we are not fighting against at all. There is less of us than there are of them, we don't have the privilege that cis people do to sit here and be divided over, what was it you guys say on here, Opression Olympics?
I came on here for fucking kink posting and my tags are just constantly full of shaming or discourse now unless I block every other trans person I run into on there .
And that's disgusting really, considering we're meant to be in this together.

Here's a link to the EFF page that contains this information:
The ad identifier - aka “IDFA” on iOS, or “AAID” on Android - is the key that enables most third-party tracking on mobile devices. Disabling
On Android
With the release of Android 12, Google began allowing users to delete their ad ID permanently. On devices that have this feature enabled, you can open the Settings app and navigate to Privacy > Ads. Tap “Delete advertising ID,” then tap it again on the next page to confirm. This will prevent any app on your phone from accessing it in the future.
On iOS
To see which apps you have previously granted access to, go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking. You can set the “Allow apps to Request to Track” switch to the “off” position (the slider is to the left and the background is gray). This will prevent apps from asking to track in the future. If you have granted apps permission to track you in the past, this will prompt you to ask those apps to stop tracking as well. You also have the option to grant or revoke tracking access on a per-app basis.
Apple has its own targeted advertising system, separate from the third-party tracking it enables with IDFA. To disable it, navigate to Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising. Set the “Personalized Ads” switch to the “off” position to disable Apple’s ad targeting.

not to make posts that are going to get me anon hate, but I am fucking begging people to stop calling fictional characters "minors." can we please go back to talking about fictional characters as children or teenagers. please.
first of all, "minor" is a word that has a meaning and that meaning isn't necessarily "children in the general sense." it is in fact a really specific legal term. it is a status that grants a group of vulnerable people protection by the law. so, as fake people who don't exist and therefore have zero protections by law, a fictional character cannot be a minor. a fictional character is fictional.
Also, in the sense of those real-world protection laws, sure, it makes sense to group together newborns through 18-year-olds. but doing so is genuinely completely fucking useless when talking about a narrative. "This is a story where the main character is a minor!!!!" you could be talking about Bluey you could be talking about The Catcher In The Rye you could be talking about Yellow Jackets. I don't know how else to express that story about a 7-year-old, a story about a 12-year-old, and a story about a 17-year-old are are, structurally, completely different things despite all being about "minors," and how grouping them together makes no sense. it's reductive at best and destructive at worse. Imagining sitting down and being like "oh yeah, let's look for a story about minors to recommend to minors" and you hand children's picture book No, David! to a high school senior.
what bullshit scare tactic language. "yikes, you're shipping minors" and the ship is two 17-year-olds who the narrative treats as active parts of the story who make their own decisions and have their own desires. when did we all agree to start talking like this and can we stop. just fucking tell me if a character is a child or a teenager.

Trans people in the UK have been prosecuted for "rape by deception" since 2012 when a gender questioning 18 year old trans boy (at the time named only as Justine McNally) was sentenced to three years in prison and put on the sex offenders register for having a consensual sexual relationship with a one year younger cis girl. (as a note: the age of consent in the UK is 16, which is when they began the sexual relationship, having previously been in a romantic relationship).
This was later reduced to 9 months in prison, suspended for 2 years, but he is still permanently on the sex offenders register.
Kyran Lee and Chris Wilson are both trans men sentenced in 2014 and 2013 respectfully, both also for sex by deception with cis women or cis girls, with both placed on the sexual offenders register with Kyran given a suspended sentence and Chris given community service. In this case Chris had socially transitioned and Kyran had medically and surgically transitioned.
No people should be prosecuted under these laws for not revealing their birth gender.
