People on Twitter (and elsewhere) love to say "retard" and "low IQ" now and I'm not only talking about nazi accounts but just your average account. It came out of nowhere just this year too. Really annoying.

[elbiotipo]

I've been telling people that IQ is perhaps the most normalized example of eugenics and the pseudoscience that is psychometrics

[elbiotipo]

Anything that is based in IQ is bogus because IQ is simply fake data

Fun fact for anyone who does this, being a misogynistic man isn't funny just because you're trans or you think the idea of treating trans women like women is inherently funny, how funny do you think she finds your "ironic" misogyny when you punch down on the women that don't have cis privilege over you

[strawberry-crocodile]

also no one says it but the punchline of "trans inclusive misogyny" is almost always the implicit assumption that transfeminine people do not actually experience misogyny in our day-to-day life. thats why its considered humorous and acceptable to do, rather than just being. misogyny against women.

[daughter-of-sapph0]

it shows their absolutely vile views on womenhood as a whole and also their views on specifically trans women.

on women in general, it shows that they think misogyny is deserved, natural even, so much so that it is the default way that all people interact with women. if you exist as a woman, at any possible moment, you can and should be subject to misogyny, and thats normal.

on trans women specifically, it shows they don't actually see us as women. they think we aren't subjected to misogyny on a daily basis. they think we dont experience this behavior already, when it's not as they refer to as a "joke". they think that like themselves, no one in the world could possibly see us as actual women.

therefore, when we are subjected to misogyny, it should be "affirming". its someone briefly winking and nodding at us, saying "ill pretend you're a woman, get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich". its the belief that they're doing us a favor, that they're being trans positive, even. they think its the same as calling us pretty. after all, they're momentarily treating us the same way they treat every other women.

the worst part is that they're partially right. it can actually feel slightly gender affirming the first time a stranger says your tits look great. but its not as fun the second time. or the third. or the 50th. or the 1000th. they are right, i would rather be called a cunt or a bitch rather than a tranny or an autogynophile. but id much rather not be called any of that. it can feel nice the first time a man hits on you because he finds you attractive (aka fresh meat), instead of hitting you for not being man enough. it gets old real quick having to cover my drink around literally everyone.

people think trans women aren't subjected to misogyny, and that they can be gender affirming by being misogynistic, something that comes so naturally to them that they already do it to all women. but they don't realize that trans women experience transmisogyny - that we suffer through every single thing a cis woman suffers through on a daily basis, and worse on top of that for daring to exist at all.

a few weeks ago my girlfriend got called a whore by a homeless woman on the street. she was wearing a full body dress. when she got home we thought it was funny and that she must have seen a panty line through it or something (there wasn't anything we could really see.) 2 days ago she wore the same dress to work and when she got home she asked me if I could see a panty line through it. after another inspection turned nothing up, she said something along the lines of "well, at least she gendered me correctly..."

back when i lived in florida with my parents, my dad and i went to the store to get some pool supplies. on our way back to the car there was an old guy who said something (i can't remember what exactly, i think it was something about swimming) and gave me an updown before i was able to turn to face him. i didnt notice at the time but my dad told me in the car. i felt simultaneously validated and repulsed and it was confusing, but looking back on it, it feels like my dad didnt react like he would have if i had been cis.

but sure, trans women don't experience misogyny.

when i was closeted, i convinced my parents to buy me a maid dress that i could wear to a convention (as a joke, definitely, for sure, thats why i borrowed one of my mom's bras and stuffed it with socks and underwear.) while i was going to get in the car my brother stopped in front of me and grabbed my chest and squeezed it. i pushed him off because i felt genuinely uncomfortable and disgusted, and luckily my mom saw it and chewed him out. i have never forgotten this and i have not forgiven him for it either.

even after i came out to my friends in high school, i still regularly had friends who would grab at and grope my chest """as a joke""" and it made me really uncomfortable every time. i told them to stop but they never really listened.

these are just a few personal examples, but my experience is tame compared to the things i have heard that happened to many of my close friends.

Racism in the plural community is a real problem. Racism in the medical community is a real, dangerous problem.

Pour one out for DID/OSDD systems of color that go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed because the psychiatric institution dismisses them.

Pour one out for all systems of color who feel isolated because the online community often conflates plurality with whiteness.

Pour one out for systems of color who get called racist or appropriative because their systems incorporate aspects of their own culture, but people automatically assume they must be white.

Pour one out for systems of color whose voices are silenced because of their ethnicity.

Uplift non-white systems. Talk to non-white systems, not over them.

it must be so freeing to be as stupid as a ceo. not a single thought echoing through that hollowed out skull. you get paid more money in 20 minutes than a handful of small countries make in a year combined to say the biggest number you can think of and if your company doesn’t hit that number you get to fire all of them

[themysteriousmurasamecastle]

we want to entertain one billion people a day and to achieve that goal we’re going to fire every single game developer we’ve ever hired 😍😍😍

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

[lazer-exe]

a lot of people are reblogging this saying that most "lazy" people are actually just disabled or that the concept of laziness itself is a product of our society's obsession with productivity. this is all true, but it is not my point.

even if someone WAS just lazy and simply didn't want to do anything but lie on the couch and watch tv, they should still have these things. it's irrelevant whether some people aren't actually lazy because everyone, including hypothetical lazy people, should have their basic needs met.

if we have the resources to do it, there is no defense of letting people die because they don't want to work, and much less because they can't.

I don't want lazy people to have basic necessities because they "actually" deserve them because they ARE working or CAN'T work. I want lazy people to have basic necessities because they are people, and we shouldn't leave them to die when we have the resources not to.

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter
