MY FINGERS BARELY EVEN TOUCHED YOUR STUPID FUCKING AD STOP REDIRECTING ME TO THE APP STORE

sex-repulsed people are fully within our rights to be cranky and blunt about not liking sex and how it's fucking everywhere btw. we shouldn't have to tiptoe around and make sure our phrasing is perfectly squeaky clean because people interpret any criticism of sex and sexualization as puritanism. venting about compulsory sexuality is not purity culture. maybe you could stand to learn a thing or two from us.

I found out today that there was a (thankfully very ill-fated) attempt to have the entire Wikipedia article on discrimination against transgender men deleted. At first I thought the perpetrator was yet another bargain bin transphobe/TERF act of disruption but apparently not so, she is a trans woman. The user in question had been disputing the use of transandrophobia in the article as being inappropriate, but as other editors pointed out, the way in which it was used was as to be expected (basically saying “hey this term is being used commonly right now in places to describe this phenomena”). When attempts to get the article edited to remove any mention of the term failed, this user instead decided to just nominate the whole article for deletion instead. She even went as far as to say “you will never be a man” to the editors disputing this, though it was quickly deleted. It’s the actions of only a single person, but I find this indicative of how the chronic devaluing and othering of transmasculine people and voices in faux-transfeminist spaces leads to action basically indistinguishable from cis transphobes. Resorting to attempted vandalism of an online resource and blatant transphobia is a symptom of this trend that deserves absolutely no patience at this point.

Too many videos of cis comics with the caption “THIS is how you make respectful jokes about trans people!” and then the joke is just “trans women are real women because [misogynistic statement]” like idk buddy maybe we should workshop that one a bit more, huh?

the racism against indians is just overwhelming and insane. its everywhere. people go out of their way to talk about how indian immigrants are 'the worst kind of immigrants' when its people working their ass off to get a medical degree while working underpaid jobs in delivery just to get a better life.

people are literally chomping at the bit to say indians are the reason their wages are falling and their life is getting worse because indians are ready to work for less money or some shit. it's actually very disturbing

This pride month, and any other month, remember not to assume that all transfems are transandrophobic because of a few shitty ones.

Likewise, also don't assume that all trans men are transmisogynists just because a few are.

Don't assume that all binary trans people are exorsexist just because a few binary trans people are

And don't assume that all perisex people are intersexist because a few perisex people are.

And just don't assume that all trans people are whatever bigotry just because a few from that group are.

hi, hi, hello! hi fandom space! i’m a sex favorable asexual! yeah, i exist! yes, i’m the one you keep pointing out when you want to ship canonically aro/ace characters! hi! guess what, i hate you. stop it. stop using me to erase my friends who aren’t sex favorable, because you know what? it’s actually really awful of you to only believe i exist when you want to erase a different part of my community. stop using me to encourage allonormativity. you as an allo person do not get to use ace-/aro-spec people to encourage our erasure and dismissal. no. i hate it and i hate you. stop.

#thank you for the post op #also to allo people #stop treating sex-favorable asexuals as 'basically allo'#they are not #do your research

“We need to strive to be more accepting of POC” you guys can’t even handle religion.

White people, when it comes to religion you have to come to the realization that a lot of non-white cultures have a strong connection to religion. Religion isn’t just the thing that your parents used to be homophobic towards you. There’s millions of religions in the world and religion plays a big part in other cultures.

Also, Christianity and Catholicism aren’t the only religions in the world. Just grouping all of religions around the world and just watering it down to these two is not constructive.

Also, if you were raised Christian or Muslim, or raised not particularly religious in a culturally Christian or culturally Muslim society (aka most societies in the world), your perception of religion and what it means to be "religious" is vastly different from the framework that most peoples and civilizations have used for most of history. Christianity and Islam are both universal religions which view religion as a purely faith-based spiritual belief and practice which you either do or don't follow, and if you do, that's good, and if you don't, that's bad. In both traditions, religion is something that can and should be spread and can be easily mapped onto other cultural and national identities. That's the whole reason why Christianity and Islam are the two largest religions in the world and global forces of imperialism and geopolitical power, because they divorce faith from other aspects of culture in order to gain as many followers as possible.

But for ethnic groups who have held onto their spiritual and theological practices despite Christian and Muslim colonization, religion isn't something you "have" or "don't have." It's a part of your culture which can't be separated from other, "non-religious" aspects. Whether you believe in all of your culture's spiritual and theological beliefs is up to you, but they are there and they are part of the culture and part of your daily and ritual practices and interactions with others in your community.

For groups like Jews, Hindus, Parsis, Yazidis, Sikhs, Druze, Samaritans, and practitioners of folk religions indigenous to Africa, the Americas, and Oceania, our religion, however we feel about it, whether we believe in it or not, regardless of any complicated relationship we may have to it, is part of our ethnic and cultural identity. When you reject our religion, you reject us and our people.

#yup #i still follow hindu practices and celebrate holidays #because they were and still are a significant part of my culture that is hard to erase #even while i no longer believe in the spiritual beliefs of hinduism

On the note of being able to objectively criticize without being racist, I would love if South Indian films can have leading heroines with darker or at least medium brown skin tones! It's not an obligation to have every leading couple be a man with darker or more "ethnic" features and a woman with very fair skin and mostly non-textured hair.

#and usually when there IS a female heroine with darker skin or more textured hair she's going THROUGH it and she's very “masculinized”#they suffer while the average fair-skinned heroine is very protected and almost coddled by the plot. this post is not denying the reality #of masculine south asian women this post is about colorism and featurism in particular and how women who are further removed from #eurocentric beauty standards are viewed as inherently less feminine and thus less deserving of the same level of love/care/protection and #TO BE CLEAR. masculine women are equally worthy of love it is a right nobody should take away from you i'm referring to society's #unfortunate standards and expectations at large here #<- op tags
