Trying to sleep during a heatwave is a great reminder that all oil executives need to die painful painful deaths

"Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist"

look inside

wants to maintain existing divisions between sex categories without any real willingness to radically alter the structure of society, thinks undermining that division will lead to the loss of women's rights

So that's... that's actually liberal feminism.

I need a polite and effective way to say "hey your heart is truly in the right place and your anger is often righteous but I think sometimes you’re getting recreationally mad about things that are frankly not worth the amount of energy you’re spending on them, and every time you do this you're driving yourself slightly more insane with nothing to show for it," and then I need a way to broadcast that message through a loudspeaker to roughly 30,000 people at once, and THEN I need a time machine to send that message to my past self lol. and maybe a second time machine in case past me tries to be clever and sabotage the version of me who comes through the first time machine

Mentally ill and disabled people are in fact allowed to prioritize living a full life above "recovery", "being responsible" and "making healthy choices." Don't hold people who are already struggling more than the average person to even higher and more impossible standards than the ones you'd place on your average abled individual.

"gender is a social construct": fairly easy for leftists to understand

"race is a social construct": a bit harder to swallow for some but still reasonable

"mental illness is a social construct": this one gets you hate mail in your inbox

i am not a psychiatrist but i do find it really weird how autism checklists are so often focused on "outward" signs of autism rather than what is going on internally. i don't know how to explain it but "do you make eye contact with other people" feels like a much less relevant question than "how does it feel when you have to make eye contact with other people?"

starting to come to terms with the fact that my abusers didnt hurt me because of attraction or lust but because they could. because i was extra vulnerable as a gullible autistic child who struggled to describe what was happening to me. because i was isolated as a result of many factors outside my control. because it was easy, and they didn't care how it hurt me.

but i'm not quite ready to digest that yet. so i chew it like a bad cut of meat, tough and sinewy, hoping eventually i can break it down enough to swallow.

if you call the police on someone being mentally ill in public you're not a safe person for people with disabilities

I often encounter gender critical feminists who argue that their position on trans issues is “materialist” despite not knowing what the term means in Marxist analysis, or what materialist feminism is. This post is where I will gather all my relevant resources so I can refer to them in the future.

Theses on Feuerbach by Marx

The German Ideology by Marx

Socialism: Utopian and Scientific by Engels

Secondary sources:
