Mutt is a slur

[john-radqueer]

I'm John Radqueer.

I don't know who I am as a person, or who I will become, but I wanted to make an intro post so that everyone knows I'm not a bot (because I like this profile pic at the moment)

Note, this is not the first blog created under this account. Please understand that if we talk and are friends and I do not follow you back, I very likely /did/ follow you back. Thanks.

Remember that mutt is a racial slur /and/ that racial transition does not give you the green light to say racial slurs if you haven't faced the racial discrimination

[john-radqueer]

For those of you who don't know, Tumblr has implemented a feature which makes everything you've ever commented public and on a tab on your profile, right next to where the like and following tabs. If you don't want this showing on your blog, you must turn it off for each sideblog.

Spread for awareness please

Can you alterhumans stop using the word mutt you have people thinking the harassment of being a therian is more important than the harassment of being the racial fucking minority the slur is against

[watcherwingedcat]

but if they are using that word for themselves then it's fine, isn't it? what right has anyone to say that someone can't use 'mutt' as pronoun? as long as it doesn't have the racist connotation, it should be fine, right?

I'm not really understanding. If they use "mutt" for themselves to mean a mixed breed dog because they're a dog therian/alterhuman... I don't really see the problem? I'm not really sure if it's an english thing, but are slurs illegal to use or something? I thought that slurs were used like insults? Like, it's the same as insults but sometimes have racial or homophobic connotations or something?

Is it illegal to use slurs? Is it not the same as insulting someone? (obv that's bad too but... not that serious)

until now, I was absolutely not aware that mutt was used as a slur because English is not my native language. I don't know which words English speakers consider as slurs. Maybe they didn't know mutt was a slur. this is all /gen btw. I'm just confused. If they're using that word as a pronoun for themselves, what's the problem? What right has the other person to have a say in it? /genq

Jesus christ, there is no way in hell you online only weirdos are serious. Not one of you have ever looked up what racism is. These are the fuckwits that should be allowed freedom of speech?

[john-radqueer]

Freedom of speech isn't a thing in most areas of the Internet. You may live in a country that allows for freedom of speech, but Tumblr isn't owned by a country. Online speech can and is limited.

The use of slurs falls under hate speech, which is recognized as limited on the majority of online platforms.

That much should be common knowledge.

As for the racism, many of us don't have to research it. Being born a person of colour often gives you an inherent understanding of /what/ racism is. Even if it doesn't cover /why/. Individuals who have been raised to be scared of police officers or other government agents, children who are told by classmates to stay away from them due to their race, being called slurs by other minorities, and being forced to watch as history or culture is stripped from you are all examples of ways people of colour learn racism without having to open a book or get on google.

Inversely, only researching the definition of racism will never teach you in full what racism is. Racism is a lived experience. Being forced to look at slurs against you every day by people who are not reclaiming it, but instead stealing it, erasing it's history and using it to accesorize themself is most definitely enduring a form of racism. Many people of colour have to witness similar, weather it be their slurs, their lingo, their hair, or their clothes.

The difference between feeling inspired by someone's style and stealing it is erasing and ignoring the roots. The same is happening with this slur usage now. Of course, I don't expect you to understand that.

[viscouscowboytrap]

Shutup bitch you stink. You are not a race. You are playing pretend which takes away from people suffering from actual racism. Can you get an actual problem, stop making things up to be opressed by

[john-radqueer]

Would you like to clarify? I am, in fact, multiple races, but I would love to hear you formulate into actual words which are not insults, how I am "not a race" were my parents not races either? And their parents? Is it a secret society of raceless, raceless by birth, living amongst the raced people? Giving birth to raceless born offspring? Are you one of these people?

[john-radqueer]

In this time of many radqueers making new accounts and coming up with new urls for their blogs and sideblogs, I would like to remind everyone that using the term "mutt" to refer to yourself, a natal-human-bodied individual, if you are not bodily/biologically mixed race is racist.

You are not radmutt, you are not permamutt, you are not bad-mutt-needs-punishing, if you are not mixed race.

Radqueers every day already have to deal with false racism allegations, and bodily mixed individuals have to deal with their unique discrimination being silenced and erased every day. Do not be the radqueer that hurts people of colour and makes all radqueers look worse because you are using racist slurs you can't reclaim.

Note that none of the urls I used are direct jabs at anyone who has or has ever had any of these urls. I simply thought of whatever seemed like it might be "pleasing" as a url.

You may be upset reading this post, and argue that because mutt is also a term used for dogs, those who have dog related identities ought to be allowed to say it. You may feel even further in the belief that because they are both already existing words, straight people And cisgender people should be allowed to use the words "faggot" and "tranny" respectively.

I cannot argue you out of these beliefs, but please understand one thing:

Everyone already knows faggot and tranny to be slurs, most people who refer to a transmission as a tranny are very quickly educated. PLEASE understand that mixed people do not get the same grace when it comes to slurs against them. Mixed people are teased, and mocked, and ignored for expressing discomfort in hearing a word against them.

You don't fight a trans woman for being uncomfortable or upset by hearing someone repeatedly call a transmission a tranny, but many individuals do argue with mixed people for being upset with monoracial people for taking and using on themselves slurs that are not theirs to say. It is erasure.

Also, consider the connotation of the word. If you are not willing to use one of the many other words which mean dog, a large part of why is the connotation. Mutt is a little dark. It's a little dangerous, it fits it with your graveyard aesthetic and your grave/it/xite/bite/thing pronouns in that "dog baring it's teeth" kind of way (and again, this is at no shade to this grouping of pronouns, but I very often see the slur used against me in other groupings of pronouns that look just like this) how do you think it makes a mixed person feel to see the connotation you use this slur in? Is it really any different from always associating black people with chicken and basketball? You're taking a word that is a racial slur and putting a "dark, biting" connotation to it, which you may find super cool, but it's still, technically, a negative connotation.

There are words that mean dog that are not racial slurs. Please. Use them.

Please reblog this so it spreads. Please do not reboot with "tw slur", or anything of the likes, as it is very demeaning that you care when it is other slurs, but not the one we are talking about.

If you have an argument, please dm it to me instead of causing open fire in my reblogs, people do not listen to reason when they're trying to prove themselves right in front of their following, and that kind of behavior only pushes the racism further, as I am one mixed race individual asking you not to call yourself a slur you can't reclaim. Thank you

[antirq-hannibal]

you guys are already racist with the terms transnaza! and transrace and transccc btw

[john-radqueer]

I am speaking on cases of actual racism. Atypical dysphoria in most cases cannot be controlled and with the exception of trace, I don't know what any of these terms are.

Your hatefulness towards people you don't agree with has turned you into someone who is against individuals who cause you no harm.

Transrace individuals are not trace, diarace, or RCTA individuals. Transrace is a term dedicated to those adopted into a family of another race. A black child adopted into a white family, or vice versa, is transrace if they so choose to label themselves that way. It has nothing to do with transID labels. Your hatefulness has brought you to bring even more hateful words to a community unrelated to the radqueer community that already has to deal with unique struggles relating to being racially a minority.

it takes a unique type of privelege to find a triracial person begging others not throw around slurs that affect them, and instead of furthering the information, choosing to spread, even if you chose for it to be in your words and not mine, that this word is a racial slur that hurts people who were born into this racial minority, you choose to call me, the person trying to stop the spread of a racial slur, racist, and throw adoptees under the bus at the same time.

You do not have to be radqueer. Seeing how people act nowadays, I don't want to be either, but you need to educate yourself before you throw around words you don't know the meaning of. You need to learn that not everything someone with an opinion you don't like says is wrong just because you don't like them.

[antirq-hannibal]

john you arent radqueer then, most radqueers stole the term i am very educated on it being an adopted term. maybe reconsider being a radqueer

[john-radqueer]

Why would I want to be involved with your side of the community when people like you ignore poc begging others not to use slurs just to point out the racism of people they don't like? You are the reason it seems safer for me to stay on my side of the community. Why would I chose to join the side of someone who act like you? Both towards people of colour and the adoptee community. You can't purposely be an ass and expect people to see that as your side being genuine. Maybe reconsider calling people racist when they're talking about racial injustice 🤷

[john-radqueer]

It is honestly very surprising how much the radqueer community has changed to the point that now everyone is labeling themselves as something that 5 years ago we would have called a dogwhistle. It's sad to see how many people have been tricked into thinking this label is "more inclusive"

[permamalicious]

Are you speaking about pro-c.

[john-radqueer]

no, Pro-C was never a dog whistle, as the intention of the label is clear

If you are a follower or even just an enjoyer of mullet-man05, aka, the person who got popular because of their BIO

PT: He/him | Heterosexual | Heteroromantic | Monoamorous | Cisgender | AMAB | Perisex | TME Allosexual | Alloromantic | Conventionally attractive (peer-reviewed) | Able-bodied | Neurotypical | 18+ | White | Not Hispanic or Latino | Christian but not weird about it | American | Extrovert | Upper middle class | Right-handed | Singlet | Circumcised | O+ | Football, video games, and Oregon Ducks fan | Evil | Transphobes and U$C fans DNI | Inbox and DMs open

It should be brought to your attention that this guy has absolutely disgusting beliefs. Particularly involving trans men.

The concept of popularizing someone for being a general cisgender heterosexual neurotypical white man who is able to do the bare minimum and "not be transphobic" is already appalling to an extent, but please note. This user is very much actual transphobic. He simply isn't transphobic to women. And it is clear he has the mindset that only trans women can be victimized.

He reblogs, frequently, posts about "tme" people. Often about how "tme" people are "sexualizing" trans women and stealing everything from them. He has reblogged posts diminishing the fact that the tme label is racist and sexist and harmful to people with the reasoning in the post he reblogged being quote

"like, if seeing trans women develop & use terms to discuss transmisogyny makes you so uncomfortable that you have to reverse-engineer the nonsense stance of "descriptive categories are inherently harmful" to justify that discomfort, that implies quite a lot about you"

This disgusting disgusting repost really sealed the deal, the cherry on top, if you will say.

PT: sentiments like "kill all white people" or "kill all men" or "eat the rich" are so pathetically harmless that getting mad about them makes you look like an idiot. like a. they're never going to happen and b. those categories don't exist as like, an irrefutable fact of life that can't be changed; they're social categories that only exist in opposition to those designated as outside of the category. There are not roving gangs of BLM activitists or femnazis or poor people carrying pitchforks and torches and dragging white people/men/rich people out of their homes and killing them in the streets. And failing that, there's no like, coherent path to that being something that happens in society. Mass violence is always enacted against minorities and vulnerable people - taking 'kill all white people' seriously makes you sound like a conservative buying into the great replacement bullshit. Its not gonna happen and you're a pathetic loser for thinking it will.

So let's talk about this.

"A. They're never going to happen"

While it may not be an issue with white people, it is absolutely an issue with trans men.

The right does not want any trans people alive, and this incredibly vocal portion of the left does not want men alive. You can't get rid of all trans people, and you can't get rid of all men, but you can absolutely start to pluck off your common enemy. We life in the world where cisgender women are comfortable to sit alone, in a closed room, with trans men and say things like "honestly. Kill all men. Including you. I see you as a man"

When they don't.

KAM comes from a place of fear. "if they are gone, I will be safer" you do not say, in a private, closed off room with one other people in it. "I want to kill you and everyone like you" if you are as scared as you need to be to truly believe in KAM. This individual may be truly scared of cis men, but she does not see trans men the same. Trans men are not the same. Cis women have power over trans men no matter how victimized they may feel by the word "man".

The same goes for kill all white people. It starts with the disabled and the homeless and it furthers, for both trans men who are disabled or homeless or poc, and white people who are disabled and homeless and trans, into getting rid of them. Because to say you want all of a certain subgroup dead is to say you are willing to pick off the easy ones first. Trans men are the easy ones. Disabled, traumatized, abused, homeless, neurodiverse people exist in both of these groups. Those are the easy ones.

This is bigotry.

Mullet-man05, with the amount of fame they've accumulate for being a regular, privileged white man, is a bigot.

Note, if you have an anti radqueer account or if you yourself are an anti radqueer who agrees with the message but hates the messenger, please feel free to take the message, and reword it, and share it with the anti radqueer crowd. We don't have to agree on every front to agree that this behavior is wrong.

[john-radqueer]

its a genuine shame that so much of the radqueer community has started to us something that just a few years ago, we all knew was a rapist dogwhistle. I don't know which of you I can trust

[transfemgal]

There's been a lot on my dash about transandrophobia and while not my normal horny posts I do want to make my beliefs stated:

Trans men are men. Trans men are trans. Trans men experience hardship.

I only cracked my egg because of meeting an open and proud trans dude for the first time and learning no, not everyone does want to be a woman, not every spend their nights wishing they could be a lesbian instead of being a "disgusting straight man" (my internal dialogue about myself pre egg crack.

Trans men are fantastic, and the fact they get to be themselves makes me happy. It upsets me how erased they are in media and books and how upset some people get when they point out trans men exist.

They get shit on from folks on all sides: they're men, so misandrists hate them, they're trans so terfs and transphobes hate them, they're "women" so misogynists hate them. They're often excluded from queer spaces for having "too much privilege", those who are BIPOC, or disabled or some other group that makes people weird just has them double down on them.

Oh and God forbid they don't pass, then they're just "a small bean confused woman" which no. They're a man. I wish there was more trans masc rep. I wish our trans community wasn't so divided because of transandrophobia and transmysoginy.

Keep doing your thing trans dudes. I hope we can all weather this storm and come out stronger on the other side.

Please reblog this so it spreads. Please do not reboot with "tw slur", or anything of the likes, as it is very demeaning that you care when it is other slurs, but not the one we are talking about.

If you have an argument, please dm it to me instead of causing open fire in my reblogs, people do not listen to reason when they're trying to prove themselves right in front of their following, and that kind of behavior only pushes the racism further, as I am one mixed race individual asking you not to call yourself a slur you can't reclaim. Thank you
