Since the 1980s police have used the acronym NHI for crimes against sex workers, trans women, and “thugs” (i.e. People of color), meaning “no humans involved” and like that’s the atmosphere our current law enforcement comes from

[birlinterrupted]

Another colorful phrase from that same era (explicitly continuing into the 90s and further) for sex workers (and particularly sex workers of color) being killed was “misdemeanor murders”

Oakland goes to third top cop in less than a week amid scandal

Bill Fairow's dismissal comes amid a scandal over cops having sex with an underaged prostitute.

“A lot knew I was underage because they nicknamed me ‘juve,’ which is short for juvenile.”

Same story different tune. Time and time again sex workers experiences have revealed that those who are the most responsible for their criminalizing, for throwing them in jail, publicly humiliating them, and taking away custody of their children are even more likely to abuse their power for sexual services.

 A teenage sex worker (who has been named but I will not name) revealed further information that more than 20 police officers from 5 departments had sex with her for protection. Some of these officers sought out her services knowing that she was under age and were committing child rape. No word on how the girl is being treated or if she’ll be arrested for prostitution. Can anti-sex work feminist finally wake up and stopping putting trust in the state to enforce harmful laws against sex workers that along extend the abuses their subjected to.

The quickness that cis lesbians go from “man hating dykes” to “submissive traditional wives” when the men in question are trans would be hot if it weren’t so annoying

[heirloomparasite]

this is so lesbophobic and disgusting relationships between females are not patriarchal and you have no right to comment on them lesbians do not exist to titillate males

i thought this post said “when the men in question are trans women” and frankly that was more accurate.

The legalization and inappropriate regulation of sex work inevitably puts power in the hands of the most privileged people – usually the already-rich, the white, the male, and above all, the people not actually doing sex work.

[heaffcliff]

besides caring about the safety of our trans sisters, cis women & afab trans folks (that includes those of us who get static in women's bathrooms bc we're gender non-conforming) should be indignant that the only time men seem to give a fuck about our safety is when they can invoke it to enforce transmisogyny in ostensibly women's spaces. 

not only are they coming for trans women and trans feminine folks, they're using you/us to excuse it. get mad.

Of course cis people are taking the bathroom bills seriously now that cis women are being harassed in bathrooms by paranoid bigoted men and nobody’s doing jackshit about the massive amount of transmisogyny being coded into the language of all of these reports.

“Of course I’m a girl!”

“Can’t you tell I’m a woman?”

“I HAVE A VAGINA!”

I’d like to say that this is what happens when, for months and months you use your appearance to try and fight against these bills, but that isn’t even the root cause, really.

[snow-anne]

Yeah I’ve been similarly annoyed with how people respond to these cis-women-falling-victim-to-bathroom-bills situations. So many of the reactions amount to “but she’s not a trans woman”… as if it would have been okay to harass her if she had been a trans woman.
