Kinda sad that Facebook is now a place where you can be banned for a month for saying “white ppl love mayo”, but a page that advocates violence against trans women “does not violate community standards”.

i know she could never do it, but imagine the harry potter books if every time ron swears, it’s replaced by an actual swear and his catchphrase is more ‘fucking shit!’ than ‘bloody hell!’

A trans woman wanted to make this post on her own blog, but she was too afraid of the backlash, so she asked me if she could send it to me and if I would publish it for her. I agreed to do this so she could keep her anonymity, this is her message:

“It is by now very common to see transmisogyny on tumblr. And as I have used this site for many years now, I’ve slowly grown more and more fearful being open. I’ve stopped sharing pronouns, stopped saying what my assigned gender is. I have had to remake a few times now, and even made lots of side blogs to feel safe. And I feel like something needs to be done.

If you are a dfab person. Realise that in this situation, you have a huge privilege. You might get backlash, but terfs are first and foremost trans WOMAN exterminatory radicalists. You may be excluded, you might receive unpleasant comments. You will however never experience transmisogyny.

Recently, I saw a trans person get ganged up on by terfs. And I started realizing the reality of all of this. Terfs need to be approached. If you even care the slightest about trans women, dmab non-binary people, or intersex people. Please spread this message:

Out terfs. Check if op is a terf. Report terfs. Argue with them. Use the fact that they cannot come with ad hominems against you. Use the fact that you will not experience transmisogyny.

Please make transfeminism strong. Stand up for the lives and safety of dmab trans people. Acknowledge their violence. Stand in solidarity with your dmab trans comrades. Fight our oppressors.”

School suspends trans boy for using boys’ restroom — after girls complained he was using theirs

Attempts to legislate trans people’s bathroom use aren’t about bathrooms, they’re about public existence. Trans people, often trans women specifically, have been saying this for years and this case brings the point into sharp relief.

I cannot believe people will insist that genitals = gender while still being so quick to assign genders to things including but not limited to robots, candy, umbrellas and geological features. Why are you more willing to call an M&M female than you are a trans woman?

Reminder: Gloria Steinem is a TERF

(not getting much discussion is that immediately after saying that young women are supporting Bernie to meet men, Steinem laughs with Bill Maher over transphobic Caitlyn jokes and states "the highest earning female in the corporate was a male previously... so I mean... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯+laugh")

Transgender student suspended for using bathroom at SC high school

A transgender student was suspended from Socastee High School after using the bathroom.

At Socastee High School in South Carolina, a trans student was suspended for using the bathroom that corresponds with his gender identity. 

The student, who is remaining anonymous, started transitioning in middle school. He and his family met with school administrators and decided he should use the boys’ bathroom, so throughout high school, he did. 

But recently, a teacher noticed the student walking out of the boys’ room. The next day, he was called into the administrative office and told to either use the women’s room or go to the nurse’s office. Most people at school don’t know the student is trans, so his family believes the teacher who saw him looked up his records, outing him to other teachers and students. 

Two weeks ago, the student left an assembly to use the bathroom and passed teachers along the way. Although a teacher said to use the closest bathroom, the child said it was dirty and went to the next one. The student said the teacher followed and the boy’s bathroom was used. The next day the child was suspended from school for a day. “They did not give me a copy of the write up,” his mother said. “They did not talk to me.”   The student is now enrolled in an online school. The mother said her child is missing out on everything else school offers. “He had to stop drama,” the mother said. “He had to drop out of the play he was doing.” The child’s mom worries about this happening to other transgender students in Horry County Schools. “Let the transgender kids be themselves,” she said. “Let them be safe and let them be comfortable. Let them have their education in an environment where they are not harassed or felt to be unsafe.”

This school is refusing to cooperate with Title IX guidelines. They’re violating a student’s right to privacy. They’ve told the student he needs a doctor’s note in order to get the issue resolved. AND they’re taking an innocent child out of class – literally removing him from the opportunity to learn – because he had to pee? In what universe do these educators think this is okay?

Of course you don’t. Free college might hinder the school-to-prison pipeline your  prison owning donors depend on

Convict leasing. Look it up. Some scholars say it was even worse than slavery because there was no incentive not to work people to death and then just replace them.

Convict Leasing was followed by Jim Crow and Segregation, which were followed by what we have now: the New Jim Crow.

Racism hasn’t gone anywhere. It just evolved.

"A life without suffering is seen as frivolous and meaningless. This position must be rejected as a holdover from a now-transcended stage of human history. The drive to make suffering meaningful may have had some functional logic in times when poverty, illness, and starvation were necessary features of existence. But we should reject this logic today and recognise that we have moved beyond the need to ground meaning in suffering. Work, and the suffering that accompanies it, should not be glorified."

"From the beginning of capitalism workers have struggled against the imposition of fixed working hours, and the demand for shorter hours was a key component of the early labor movement. Initial battles saw high levels of resistance in the form of individual absenteeism, numerous holidays and irregular work habits. This resistance to normal working hours continues today in widespread slacking off, with workers often surfing the Internet rather than doing their job."
