Just learned that Caster Semenya lost her legal battle and I’m so fucking sad. this is such a huge loss for intersex people in sports and sets a real fucking dangerous precedent that essentially excludes all intersex people from participating in sports unless they go through (unconsensual) HRT. the blatent racism and intersexism that the court is showing is fucking despicable and I’m so fucking upset.

i’m also really fucking suspicious that the ONLY people talking about intersexism in the context of this legal descision are intersex people. even when this is BLATENTLY and obviously intersexist like, perisex people refuse to recognize it. and that’s fucking disappointing. i know there isn’t much awareness or solidairty with us, but still. it’s not a big ask to ask y’all to do the bare minimum of explicitly calling intersexism out for what it is. perisex people fucking do better.

@ Everyone who has ever talked about Caster Semenya in the context of transgender medicine and sports: you are obligated to pay attention to this in the context of intersex medicine and social lives because this is an intersex issue before it’s a trans issue.

For as many posts you make about transgender lives being impacted by these rulings I and my intersex peers expect you to do double for intersex lives. The fact that intersex people are expected to take hormones to make them closer to dyadic bodies in order to “compete fairly” in sports while athletes like Michael Phelps who have natural low lactic acid production are allowed to compete “fairly” when having an Actual Natural Advantage in terms of physiology is nothing short of intersexist. The fact that they are specifically doing this to Caster Semenya is where the racism and intersexism intersect - putting a black woman on the spot like this for her intersex condition is cruel and senseless and nobody deserves to be put in this position, especially not Caster.

Ellen Page talking about how she never would have believed that she'd be out and playing a queer character who wore the sort of clothes Ellen wanted her to wear has me feeling all kinds of things.

Whenever I miss Disneyland I listen to park audio a lot and this time I decided to design outfits for the cast of my story based on rides/cast member outfits :)

I also painted the backgrounds which dealt me 30 points of psychic damage

i know i said “don’t get me started” re: tswift, but it’s too late, i have been started

she’s pivoted to talking vaguely about removing statues and acknowledging privilege in vague reformist ways, now that that’s a good pr decision for anyone with a young fanbase. it’s so hollow.

i mean, being criticized for a music video where she larped being a colonist in africa wasn’t enough for tswift to address her privilege–which goes way beyond race, given her generational wealth–in any way. being criticized for using black women as props in the video for shake it off wasn’t enough. being criticized for acting personally victimized when nicki minaj pointed out that she and beyonce were snubbed by the mtv vmas in 2015, using the classic white feminist refrain of “pitting women against each other” to paint nicki as the angry aggressive black woman, wasn’t enough. (i’m not even a fan of nicki minaj, so don’t start lecturing me about her wrongdoings. i’m aware.) being criticized for comparing the negativity she receives to homophobia, while appropriating black gay slang, in you need to calm down wasn’t enough. having a very active and large white supremacist fanbase didn’t prompt any meaningful action, either. no, the only thing that could bring tswift to speak out is marketability.

swift built her career on two things: 1) her generational wealth, and 2) being a paragon of all-american white womanhood. pale, blond, skinny, surrounded by a cadre of equally skinny famous women, always the victim of a black woman or man. victimhood is integral to white womanhood; i’m not saying that white women are never victims of injustice, obviously they can be. but to be recognized as a victim of anything in the first place, it helps to be a delicate white cis woman with a mostly family-friendly image and a privileged background.

swift was country back when growing up on your plutocrat father’s christmas tree farm was a more profitable image. she had a faux rebellious image when that was what sold albums. her visuals and her music change to fit what sells best–more than your average pop star, which is saying something–because her music, her image, all of it, is so tightly calculated to represent the most marketable white girl next door. now that there’s a massive public discussion around racism and being gay or bi is more socially acceptable in the US than ever before, she’s pivoted to surface-level reformist anti-racism (if you can even call it that) and putting rainbows in her visuals.

it is hilarious and kind of surrealistically absurd that so many white gay women think swift might be hinting at being attracted to women and not that they’re being intricately baited by her and karlie kloss’s pr teams.

actual comments i saw on a facebook post that was literally only asking that the lesbian flag be included in pride art :) love that you can literally say "i hate lesbians" and have it be totally fine with the rest of the GBT community.

lesbiantophs-deactivated2020083

since posting this, i've uncovered some more gems from the GBT folks.

believe it or not, i have MANY more. imagine how you would feel if this was about you, if you can't bring yourself to empathize at all. THIS IS THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG.

No. YOU DON’T GET TO DO THIS AND SLIP UNDER THE RADAR. Anyone who’s seeing this, I beg you to reblog. I want as many people to see this shit as possible.

this is really true tho!!! my uncle was a cop in NY & FL and they taught him to shoot first if he had to. anytime a cop feels threatened (and they basically teach cops they’re always threatened) they can shoot. its rlly sick psychological torture shit to help create a police state tbh
