This one resonated with me

[oldmanontumbler]

Oh, hard to watch, is it? Hard to watch these Black teens retaliate? Hard to watch them do, to an oppressor, exactly what said oppressors have done to Black people for centuries? Hard to watch a cop on the receiving end of a beating for once? I hope that Roman Candle was heavy.

Was it equally hard to watch when, a week ago, an Ohio cop assaulted the 15 year old Kaelynn Reynolds? Threw her to the fucking ground, shoved her against his car, pressed his knee into her, and filed a charge against her spitting at him?!

No, we know what this man's doing. He wants to rally violence against these kids, who have all, no doubt, already been racially abused, profiled, and harassed by the police. Look at his language. "Horrifying." "Severe." "Mob."

I don't know what sparked this, but those teenagers have my full support, and I hope they'll be okay.

Black kids and Black teenagers, you don't deserve to be punished for defending yourselves. You deserve to be safe. You've been abused and assaulted by cops, and you know that every cop is willing to uphold white supremacy, so you deserve to strike them. Yes, even strike first. You are not evil. You deserve to grow up. You deserve the fucking world, and nothing will ever take that away from you.

Man I miss free the nipple. Its getting warmer and we don’t even have free the nipple anymore

[gramarye]

feminism has backslid so hard in recent years people don't even know what free the nipple means anymore

[briwhosaysni]

To clarify for those who don't know, "free the nipple" isn't about going braless, it's about going topless

No shirt, no bra, completely bare torso, just like cis men are allowed to

It's about desexualizing breasts and "female presenting nipples" and not being criminalized for our bodies if we want to go topless because it's a million damn degrees out. This was a popular growing movement that was still widely known a decade ago!

And the fact that not wearing a bra is so discouraged and stigmatized that people think the movement was about being able to go braless under your shirt in public rather than about being able to not wear a shirt at all says a lot about how far we've backslid in the past decade

Some of the edgiest queers in the world who constantly talk about romanticizing cannibalism and gore is punk or whatever will turn into the literal pope when confronted with anything realistic having to do with sex like im sorry but people fuck in the park at night sometimes always have and always will and you’re going to have to go about your life without advocating for them to be skinned alive in Alcatraz

the view from the friiway

[dilfsisko]

Racism against Indians is actually a little insane when you consider how widespread it is even among liberals and leftists . Even people who consider themselves to be progressive will laugh at call center or tech support jokes. All scammers are inherently indian. It’s okay to laugh at jokes making fun of Indians for their feelings towards animals or how they drive. India is inherently backwards and dirty so it’s okay to make jokes about getting food poisoning from even looking at indian food

"do you think pre-transition trans men have male privilege?!" Is such a telling thing from transandrodorks, because it clarifies that they do not understand privilege/power/oppression dynamics, but worst of all it shows they define transhood by hrt. Yes, some trans men pre hrt absolutely have male privilege, because hrt isn't the moment you suddenly become trans, hrt is not when you suddenly become a man or a woman. You can come out and not do anything to medically alter your body. Do you think trans women are spared harassment just because they're not on hrt? Do you think pre hrt trans women are privileged? This is another chapter in the 'transandrodorks are actually bioessentialist' because they refuse to recognize pre hrt trans people as their genders as victims of their respective bigotries. A state banned trans girls from joining women's teams to affect one specific trans girl. In an entire state. Did that trans girl have male privilege? Dumbasses.

[kayla-denker]

I'm sorry, OP, I wanna take this opportunity to build off of your point with a bit of a long addition:

Trans men have male privilege even when they "don't pass," even when they are in the closet.

Because they are men living in a world that is built specifically to cater to the needs and desires of men.

Do they face oppression? Obviously, because they are trans. Thats why theres a closet for them to be in and come out of in the first place. Its literally the same thing with cis gay men. They also have male privilege while still being oppressed for being gay. Like, do you think that cis gay men and cis gay women have it exactly the same? That they face the exact same amount of oppression and marginalization? Get the fuck out of here.

The women of every single demographic always have it worse than the men of that demographic. Patriarchy gives the men of that demographic privelege over the women of that demographic.

This is intersectional feminism 101!

And this is always perfectly displayed by the wage gap. Straight white men make more than straight white women. Black men make more than black women while still making less than all white people. Gay cis men make more than gay cis women while still making less than all straight cis people. And trans men make more than trans women while still making less than all cis people.

There is no caveat about "only when they pass", because this isn't about how you're percieved by the immediate people around you. Its about the systems we live in and who they're designed to benefit.

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

terfs are equivalent to nazis to me. theyre both forms of white supremest ideology. as a jewish trans woman ive zero positive interest in the lives of either continuing.

[jingerpi]

I've been thinking about this a lot recently, they both came out of "socialist" movements which they broke off from primarily because they rejected marxist class struggle and substituted their own ideas of "class". for Nazis it was the national struggle, they argued that class conflict was over and that the real issue of the day was between nations. Mussolini was much the same, originally studying Marxism but threw out class struggle very early and quickly veered to the right, establishing "revolutionary" struggle on the basis of said nationalism. For terfs, they substitute sex-based struggle, even the original radical feminists like Firestone, Willis, and others, came out of socialist organizing to focus on sex-class as the primary originating oppression of all society. they argued that racism was actually a product of sexism and often drastically downplayed racism to bolster their feminism - (see Angela Davis' response to Firestone in women race and class, and Ellen Willis' retrospective in radical feminism and feminist radicalism. there's plenty of sources on the Nazi stuff out there but I don't have it on hand/by memory)

both of these groups use language of revolution while reinforcing the status quo, they're both incredibly racist and transphobic. it's rarely spoken about but the Nazis killed a lot of trans women specifically, not just queer people in general. they had a very specific agenda against transfeminity in particular and often experimented medically on trans women. meanwhile terfs are increasingly collaborating with right wing news networks, getting funding from fascists, and copying antisemitic Nazi rhetoric directly. and that's not even getting into Rowling's explicit Holocaust denial.
