to simplify: churches are forbidden to promote specific political parties or candidates, in order to maintain tax-exempt status. no religious institution is allowed to make explicit political statements, including “this party is bad,” “this party is good,” “you should vote for x,” “you should not vote for x,” or “let’s raise money for x political party or campaign.” all of those things are super illegal! if they’re going to act as a political entity, they need to pay taxes like any other political entity! report their asses!!!!

The Andrew Tate stuff has always been so wild bc the thing people want to talk about most with him is his whole misogynist anti-feminist schtick when that's the least interesting part of him. Like, ok he does the whole "online misogynist for money" thing, that's been around for a while now and if he disappeared tomorrow a dozen other dudes would replace him in that ecosystem.

What is actually unique is that this dude is a full on human trafficker. Like for real. And that is some serious shit! That's what all these conservatives pretend to care about, trafficking! That's what Glenn Greenwald and all these formerly twitter lefty ppl who demand Andrew Tate be brought back to twitter meme about constantly with their stupid fucking podcasts about Epstein and co. Yet somehow the conversation still isn't "hey this man is a literal sex trafficker" its "is misogyny man rly that bad for being misogynist?" Like bro I do not care about the misogyny there's women in his basement.

gaytanic-panic

For the people not getting it: the point of this post is that because of his reputation as "that misogynist influencer" rather than "wanted sex trafficker" in both mainstream news and social media, Tate was able to maintain a successful public profile way longer than he should have. A public profile that helped him lure more women into his grasp. And I'm saying that the very real legal situation, which somehow slipped a lot of people's minds for a while, should have taken up the public attention that round 286 of "feminists vs misogynists" got.

Bc as another commenter said, many people assumed he was just another loud asshole on social media because that's what most of the discussion and coverage of him was about. When it should have been about his actual vile crimes.

guiltyidealist

Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples' names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?

No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people

another-random-dom-3

Sure thing.

katsdom

Undoubtedly. To repeat what I have said before: As an old cis/het man, I can't begin to understand the experience of a trans or non-binary person. It's too foreign to what I am to truly put myself in their place. But I don't need to understand it to respect it. Respecting someone else's rights takes nothing away from my own. The only people whose gender identity or sexual orientation should concern me are the people I am personally having sex with - and, at my age, that is a VERY select group.

instructor144

What @katsdom said.

silentlycrazy

That also means not misgendering or deadnaming trans people you don't agree with.

another-exclus

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

But queer is more inclusive

a-tired-humanist

And faster to pronounce if you are talking instead of writing.

another-exclus

It’s not more inclusive, and if your excuse of using a slur as a blanket term is “it’s faster to say”, GENUINELY what is wrong with you

a-tired-humanist

It’s called economía del lenguaje.

It’s also the respected academic term?? The acronym isn’t static and it’s usage is varied by things like generational difference, location, and knowledge of the community. Even just in the U.S. in the last few decades the common usage gone from GLBT to LGBT to LGBTQ, to LGBTQA/LGBTQIA/LGBTQIAP/etc (Which, let me tell you as someone who has given presentations in the past using these updated acronyms, are all real mouthfulls), to LGBT+.

Also yes, queer is more inclusive! Especially coming at it from an academic standpoint, people didn’t always use or identify with the terms we use now and you can’t always try to cram them into our modern perceptions of sexuality. We can argue for years about whether a famous historical figure was gay or bisexual or straight and trans or whatever, but if we can all agree that they were somehow queer then using that term allows us to move past the debate and into productive discussion. And not everybody everywhere shares the same terms for sexual and gender identity, or even the same concepts of those things, so queer really is a more inclusive term in a lot of cases.

Like yeah if you’re talking specifically about gay or trans people you can just say gay or transgender, but if you’re talking about more than one identity or someone who doesn’t conform to our perceptions of ‘LGBT,’ or a person or people whose identity you don’t know, queer is just the better word.

jabberwockypie

“That’s SO gay”, “Oh my god, you’re not a LESBIAN, are you?”

Your words are slurs, too. Why do you get your words, but I don’t get mine? What makes you so special?

I’m here, I’m queer, go fuck yourself.

levynite

queer is not a slur, stop drinking the TERF koolaid

darthsuki

matronofthevoid

every time one of you fools spout about ‘queer is a slur’ a terf laughs because their fucking plan to make that word ‘taboo’ is fucking working you dipshit.

letmetellyouaboutmyfeels

I did not get my degree in queer literature for you all to keep pulling this bullshit.

moki-dokie

baby gays,,,, i beg of you to learn your queer history and stop listening to terf bullshit

every single one of our labels has been used as a slur against us.

terfs and -phobes are always going to try and hurt us with what we identify as. but the fact remains these are OUR labels and always have been.

we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it.

hyperactivehedgehog

I don’t know if this is just because I’m not American but I’ve never heard queer used as a slur. Ever. Meanwhile gay was the insult in the 2000s here. Everything you didn’t like was ‘soo gay’. Queer wasn’t even a word most of us knew back then.

It just baffled me that people would think an identifier is automatically a slur just because someone uses it to mock someone. If we did that gay would be a slur. Stupid would be a slur. Autistic would be a slur.

The reason people are upset about the word queer is that it’s a unifying term. You can say you’re queer and all people will know is that you’re part of the community. But you can’t say you’re LGBT, you have to say you’re gay or trans or ace. They don’t want you to be ambiguously queer. They want you to say which kind of queer you are so they can decide whether you’re undesirable.

tapacamino

yeah in the 90s and early 2000s kids would call each other “gay” as an insult. But no one ties themselves in knots over whether “gay” is a slur. So yeah, please ffs learn your history.

rb to give the person u rb'd this from transgender swag

Fuck it. This is the Post of Giving Trans Men And Transmascs Who Did Important Stuff Attention And Recognition.

Reblog this to spread and if you know of a trans man or transmasc nonbinary person from history that you think others should hear more about, add their info on to this post. Including links is encouraged but not required.

Lou Sullivan - gay trans man, author and activist, pushed to remove the requirement that anyone seeking to medically transition must be straight. Also founded FTM International

James Barry - performed the first recorded successful C-section, was stealth but outed in death

Rupert Raj - Canadian trans activist whose work has earned him multiple awards, please go read his Wikipedia page because he’s done so much

Amelio Robles Ávila - Mexican colonel during the Mexican Revolution, and yes he’s the one who threatened to shoot people for misgendering him

Albert Cashier - Union soldier in the American Civil War, became famous as one of the “women soldiers who served as men” except he continued living as a man for way long after he no longer needed to so many scholars suspect he was trans

vaspider

Billy Tipton - American jazz musician and bandleader.

Alan L. Hart - American radiologist and tuberculosis researcher. He pioneered the use of x-rays in diagnosis of tuberculosis and was one of the first men to undergo surgical transition. He was married (legally) twice. (This is not uncommon. It wasn't a Problem for us to marry people according to our proper gender as long as it looked straight, basically.)

Willmer "Little Axe" Broadnax - American gospel quartet singer, known for his powerful and beautiful tenor. He performed with his brother, who stood by him. (Again, it's imperative to remember that many of us have always had birth families that loved us and stuck with us.)

Charley Parkhurst - also known as One-Eyed Charley, an American stagecoach driver, farmer and rancher.

Michael Dillon - British doctor. First (according to this link) transmasc person to transition via hormones and surgery. Assisted with the orchidectomy of Roberta Cowell, asserted to be the first surgically-transitioning trans woman in the UK. The operation was illegal at the time.

Reed Erickson - American philanthropist. Early patient of Dr. Harry Benjamin, his surgical transition set legal precedent in Louisiana. Founded the Erickson Educational Foundation.

Jude Patton (still living) - a Psychiatric Physician Assistant. First trans person to be named to the Harry Benjamin International Gender Dysphoria Association (now WPATH) Board of Directors.

Mario Martino - American healthcare professional. He published the first autobiography (Emergence) of a trans man who transitioned non-medically - that is, solely socially, without HRT or surgery. With his wife, set up a counseling service for transmascs, and created The Labyrinth Foundation Counseling Service, aimed at helping with what at the time was called "female to male transition."

Jack B. Garland - American soldier born in 1869. Spent 3 years in the Army during the Philippine War. Lived as a man from before age 18 until his death in 1923.

everyone should have these tags filtered

ik it’s not always obvious who is making a post but it’s sooo easy to just add these to your filtered tags so you can easily spot some and at least not rb the ones that are literally waving giant red flags

if u genuinely believe that another queer person is the cause of the bigotry u face simply bc they arent palatable to bigots u are just as fucking bad as the people who want us dead. no matter how palatably a queer person dresses or acts, bigots will want us dead. a queer person being "weird" is not responsible for the violence we face, because theres no such thing as palatable queerness. theres no way to be queer in a way that will make bigots hate us less, bc at the end of the day being "palatably" queer is being dead. i am not going to make myself appealing to people who want me 6 feet under just bc some whiny baby tru scum got their fucking panties in a twist about me expressing my gender through a queer, nonbinary, autistic lens. if ur uncomfortable with how i present myself, thats not my problem.

dayaneedshelp

This genuinely has to be the most humiliating and hardest thing i’ve had to do. I’ll keep it shor… Daya S needs your support for Help a youn

i don’t even know if anyone will see this but please don’t ignore me, if you see this please reblog and if you’re classed and/or non black please extend some funds. i don’t want to live like this anymore.

name one native american intellectual off the top of your head, name one native american actor or actress off the top of your head, name one native american senator, one native american news anchor, or an author or a tv personality or a singer or a poet or a comedian, name a single native american teacher you’ve had, can you? probably not

ok so now think of one native american cartoon character you know of or a sports team relating to native americans whether it’s their actual name or their team logo, or a town you live in or near with a “native” name bet a lot of these things came to you right away i bet you didn’t even have to think

needing native representation in media, education and government are not decoy issues, the commercialization and appropriation of native cultures are not decoy issues, the lack of native representation is institutional oppression at work

travelingstargazer

White people specifically need to reblog this, I don’t CARE if it makes you uncomfortable–that’s the point. Listen to Native voices about Native issues PLEASE

My guys. the fact that so many of you are reblogging my post about Justice Thomas's desire to overturn Lawrence with exclamations of "how???" and with such lack of knowledge of our past is really disconcerting.

Gay sex was illegal federally in the United States until 2003 (when Lawrence was ruled on). Before Lawrence many MANY states had "Sodomy Laws" that prohibited gay sex within the state itself and criminalized homosexuality, often using targeting words like "pervert" to describe gay men much the way conservatives talk of "grooming" today. In fact prior to 1962 homosexual sex, as well as certain types of consensual sex acts between differently gendered couples, was a felony with the cost being lengthy jail time and/or hard labor. As of April 2022 14 states have STILL not repealed their sodomy laws. Keep that in mind.

In this last week of Pride month i am BEGGING you. LEARN SOME LGBTQ+ History. The history of your rights, your lack of rights, how recent it all is, how unstable your rights are RIGHT NOW. So many of what should now be our elders were killed during the AIDS Crisis. It is now up to you to learn these things yourself.

LGBTQ Rights Timeline in America

Very fucking tired of this shithole country

I know.

You're angry. You should be. You're scared. You should be.

This is awful. It's horrifying. It's deeply depressing. Rage. Scream. Mourn the tragedy we know is coming.

But remember this: what we are about to experience is the world our grandmothers and great grandmothers lived in. This is what they fought against.

Remember that they won. Even if the victory was temporary, they still won.

We can win, too. Prepare yourself. Finish your mourning, and get back to the fight. Yes, it's awful that we have to have this same fight. It's frustrating. It's heartbreaking. But now is not the time to surrender to despair.

Now the work begins.
