glad that we’re talking about Alison Bechdel being a terf again. really hoping that fact breaks into the general cultural zeitgeist this time but not holding my breath

[plaidos]

because trans girls are starting to talk about this again, it isn’t going to be long before a bunch of TME people come in like “um, if Allison Bechdel is a terf how come she said this nice thing about trans women in the 90s? checkmate you hysterical tranny” with a few examples of Bechdel being mildly supportive of trans people’s right to exist, but make no mistake — Bechdel keeps close company with self described terfs and has done basically forever; Adrienne Rich is pretty much her idol & the basis of her understanding of feminism, and she actively attended Michfest for absolutely years and years whilst they were excluding trans women and even whilst Camp Trans protested right outside, and even in her most recent book she talks about it as this magical place that was free of men rather than the symbol of transmisogynistic hate & violence it has been recognised as for years. Some of the trans storylines in DTWOF are actively transphobic imho, and the Dykes To Watch Out For website (also Bechdel’s blog) is still to this day filled to the fucking brim with blatant terf dogwhistles including referring to the trans girl character as “trans identified” in her bio.

People have to stop falling for “but they said nice things about trans people…” stuff. Some bigots are still polite enough to refer to trans people by the correct pronouns & think we deserve some basic respects in society/to be free from violence, but still fundamentally are bigots with transphobic ideas about gender. it is desperately important that we do not let transmisogyny go unrecognised and i acknowledged within the feminism movement.

[wiigiwaamcore]

As a follow up note, in addition to the transmisogyny she has also at times blatantly misgendered trans men as well. When I was a college student, UChicago hosted an exhibit of some photography she had done around the theme of butchness. And at the end of the lineup of photos there was a note that said something like “Some of the people in these photos actually prefer he/him pronouns and identify as men, but for the sake of consistency and centering butches I am just going use she/her for them all.” This was around somewhere between 2011 and 2014. So she fails even at “calling trans ppl the right pronouns” in some cases too

[plaidos]

that’s legitimately stomach/churningly disgusting

[junglejim4322]

Seriously if you can’t financially help or go to protests wrt palestine the second best thing you can do is learn history and talking points by heart and be ready to bring it up with people you know. There’s never “nothing you can do”. There’s no shortage of books and documentaries made by Palestinians you can find for free on the internet you have no excuse to not educate yourself especially if you actually want to help

[outrockoakley]

i found a palestinian film index online with free links to almost 400 films. there's also academic readings, interviews, and analysis of palestinian films at the bottom: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1oJN9_AnDxd44QxwAxtwREfc3VRMcieqY_wQcxJErPsc/edit?usp=drivesdk
