Two conclusions to be drawn from this picture:

1 - the geese in the background show that the fake coyote doesn't deter geese

2 - the fact they needed to put up a sign implies that the fake coyote did deter humans

wait, cis tumblr user!

before you reblog that seemingly innocuous transgender positivity or discourse post, here's some important things to look out for:

1. does this post uplift one marginalized group at the expense of another? specific positivity posts are great, like "protect black trans women" or "lets support intersex folks", but be sure that the post in question doesnt put down another group. examples: "trans women get all the love, so lets have some support for trans men for once" or "trans women are so strong for what they go through, trans men could never understand the struggle and dont experience even half of what trans women are put through" 🚨🚨DONT REBLOG IT!🚨🚨 find another post that doesnt have to put down another marginalized group or pit us against each other. remember, as a cis ally, its not your place to decide who does or doesnt deserve support, or to pick sides when misguided trans folks decide to play oppression olympics.

2. listen for dogwhistles! what seems like a harmless feminist post venting about cishet men can have hateful intentions towards marginalized people. terfs will often misgender trans women when they complain about them so it looks like theyre talking about predatory men, but theyre really meaning trans women. radfems/baeddels frequently omit the "trans" aspect of trans men to hide their anti-transmasculinity. if you have doubts, go to the OPs blog and search terms like "TIM" "TIF" "TRA" "TMRA" "radfem" "terf" "radical feminism" "theyfab" etc. you can also just search trans men/transmasc/trans woman/transfem and if you see anything negative, block and move along!

3. does the post operate under the binary for no good reason? does OP seem to forget that nonbinary and/or intersex people exist? does it use agab language when it seems to only be talking about trans men/women or cis men/women? does it use gendered euphemisms instead of specific and plain language, example: talking about periods and saying "women" "afab people" "females" instead of "people who menstruate". while it seems harmless, these small language quirks really build up in the psyche of trans folks and reminds us that people often are not willing to accommodate us. if your goal as an ally is to make us feel welcome and safe, being as direct and plain with your language is a good start

4. lastly, read the notes! watch out for "us vs them" language or advocating violence. even a common, unserious sentiment like "kill all men" that carries little weight in the cis world is a lot heavier in the trans community; cis men are rarely killed but trans men are murdered at high rates. watch out for malgendering, which is someone holding a trans persons gender identity against them, like "trans men really ARE men 🙄" or calling trans women hysterical bitches. remember that no demographic of trans person is "coddled" or supported by the status quo, we all live in a world that is increasingly hostile to us. if people agreeing with the post in question have this level of vitriol against other trans people, chances are its not actually a very friendly and positive post. again, as a cis ally, its not your place to involve yourself in community infighting.

with these simple tips, you can stop accidently spreading anti trans propaganda or harmful infighting that fractures trans unity and solidarity

I’m so big on minding your business culture that I forget that people literally can’t do anything without being in somebody else’s business. like there would be two people of the same sex holding each other‘s hand down the street and I’ll hear somebody say oh that’s so weird they’re gay or whatever and it’s just like..?? So?? Mind your business. Like I’m convinced that almost 90% of our issues nowadays or our societal issues because people refused to mind their business.

You don’t like what that person is wearing? mind your business. You see a person in a full fursuit, what do you do? you mind your business. Like if people stop trying to police with other people do I swear we’d be on our way to healing right now.

Like I just saw a post that somebody made like stitching a video about a comment that somebody had made on this person with a buzz cut and it was dyed in a way that looked like leopard print and the person commented “so are you on HRT or are you on chemo? Was it done on purpose?” And that’s like such a rude thing to ask, as if you deserve any type of answer. Like who cares what she did with the hair it looked good.

I like stuff for me personally I’ll be sitting at like a mall or something. I’ll see somebody take a picture of me and once I see it, I angle my body in a way where they can’t get like a good clean picture of me because why is it that people feel so entitled to do certain things when all in all they could just mind their business.

it's wild how once you decide that actually someone being fat isn't the scariest, worst possible scenario thing in the world. how so much fearmongering just becomes so absurd and so obvious. from how every conservative comic artist draws their leftist caricatures as fat people to that one family member who won't stop whispering about how complete strangers must be terrible people when all they're using to justify that assumption is their weight to a billion weight loss ads on tv that show you a completely normal looking person and then insist that they're unacceptable to live in society without this miracle drug that'll completely fuck up their body to maybe lose a few pounds. this is crazytown. this is the bad place. what the fuck are you all talking about. it's just being fat.

"if x-rays are safe why do technicians run and hide behind a shield" well if you ate one banana you would be fine. if you had to eat a banana for every single person who came through your practice every day for your entire career, you would probably not feel too good. kinda wild that many people are hung up on this.

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

[cucurb]

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.

im still laughing at this

[transfaguette]

it is crazy how “if this childrens show doesn’t kill their villain at the end it’s irredeemable media” became such a popular opinion here. like people were calling steven universe fascist apologia. and to be clear I don’t even think that would be the case for non childrens media, either. perhaps holding every single story up to the same standard of “does it follow the acceptable narrative path or is it evil propaganda” isn’t the most anti-fascist thing, either. maybe.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

"you are morally obligated to murder your enemies" is also perhaps not the most anti-fascist thing

[deramin2]

"The death penalty is the only true form of justice" is not actually something I think children should be taught.

We see a lot of queer arab erasure, almost as if we don’t exist. Not only are we hated and murdered within our own countries for being different, but we are also invisible and forgotten in our own communities.

So this is an appreciation posts to all the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, intersex and A-spectrum Arabs! And lets not forget our non-binary cousins You aren’t forgotten!

Sincerely, someone who has also experienced said erasure (achillean gay) ^^
