GOOSEWORX JUST GOT FUCKING TERMINATED. FUCK YOU TUMBLR STAFF. FUCK YOUR TRANSPHOBIC ASS. NOW THAT PRIDE MONTH IS OVER YOU'RE NOT EVEN PRETENDING TO CARE.

[catgirl-kaiju]

i find it very very telling that people immediately started going kiwifarms on gooseworx right after the final episode of tadc dropped on yt and the reveal that fan favorite character Jax has been a closeted trans woman this whole time, radically recontextualizing everything about her and her actions. everyone in the fandom has been completely fine with other queer representation in the show, even Zooble who is also trans representation, but i guess a complicated and flawed transfem is just a bridge too far.

i don't care about old social media posts that have coincidentally and mysteriously "resurfaced" following the outrage of transmisogynist fans. you clearly missed the part of this where Jax is reflective of Goose's past behavior of using edgy and harmful humor to play the bad guy and push people away in order to cover up the fact that she is a trans woman. you missed the part where Gooseworx has explicitly grown past that kind of behavior and Jax is an exercise in extending empathy to a past version of herself who was trying everything in her power to be uworthy of love and care. you fundamentally do not understand the art you are a fan of.

Gooseworx's ban by @staff is transparently due to harassment by transmisogynists attempting to turn her into a "controversial figure" for "ruining" their favorite edgy jokey rabbit "man" by revealing she's been an edgy jokey rabbit woman this whole time. i will block anyone attempting to justify this ban. i do not want those who would enable such an obvious transmisogynistic witch hunt to interact with me or my content. fuck off.

[nary-a-care]

I'm sorry but Gooseworx being banned from tumblr while NEIL FUCKING GAIMAN is still ALLOWED on here is actually insane. Fuck this website.

'make me': I want this

'I need to punch something': I'm stressed and need walkies

'piss off': never leave me

'I'm going to kill you': thank you for the compliment

'I'm not a fucking dog': put a muzzle on me ASAP

'fuck you': I love you

'fuck me yourself': I love you too

missed some:

'I don't need a handler': I'm a lost puppy

'I'm the fucking best': I'm completely pathetic

'I don't need your approval': please like me

'I hate you': I need you more than anything in the world

If this is a script for an IGF TV Show I'm just letting you know right now I'd watch the fuck out of that.

An all-transmasc Ironman trio just won 3rd place in a major men's triathlon, beating over 200 other men's teams. 🏊‍♂️🏃‍🚴‍♂️ Trans men win men's competitions all the time, but nobody pays attention because it doesn't fit the mainstream narrative. I think we should celebrate their victories, too! 🏆

Child soldiers exist, war is not an adult topic.

Children die, death/murder is not an adult topic.

The Troubled Teen Industry exists, child trafficking is not an adult topic.

Children get raped, sexual assault is not an adult topic.

Children have alcoholic parents, addiction is not an adult topic.

Children get beat to the point of hospitalization at school, that level of violence is not an adult topic.

That when these things get into "kid friendly" media at all, they tend to be heavily censored is about protecting adult control over kids, not about protecting children.

[pinetreesreblogs]

Also kids can be addicts too, addiction is not an adult topic.

[404-unfoundbymystudents]

I say this to my students a lot - you don't become an adult overnight. You become an adult through the day to day decisions you make and information you learn. Through your actions, thoughts, learnings, and interactions with other people.

Even if these were adult topics (which they aren't), how would we expect adults to learn about them overnight?

Gentrification creates a stifling homogeneity in urban areas that makes it less suited for the everyday lives of the lower class and more suited towards the leisure and tourism of those with expendable income.

An old, decrepit laundromat gets replaced by an upscale bakery? And people are mad? It’s not that the poor hate organic vegan cupcakes, it’s that most of us don’t have a way to do laundry in our own home.

Run-down corner stores replaced by hand-made designer clothing boutiques? We don’t hate your eco-fabric shawl, but I can’t eat that for dinner after work like I could have a can of beans I grabbed from that corner store when I don’t have time to take the bus to the real grocery store after work.

What gentrification brings in and of itself is not typically bad, it’s that gentrification brings institutions of leisure and pleasure and makes it so that the poor have to go farther out of their way for basic necessities. It turns low-income living spaces into local tourist attractions. It can even create food deserts by putting restaurants, grocery stores, etc. in that the majority of the lower class cannot afford.

Imagine if someone totally renovated your house and turned it into a mini theme park - they took away your sleeping space, where you prepare food, where you clean yourself and get ready for your day, and replaced it with things that will please people who are visiting, who have their own homes they can go back to, who are here not for their entire life but just as a distraction from their otherwise mundane existence. It’s not that you hate theme parks, it’s not like you’ve never been to a theme park and vow to never visit one again. It’s just that you need to live! To survive! And the leisure of those who have more than you should not invalidate your existence.

[soycrates]

I am glad this has made the rounds. Some people feel a dense misunderstanding or misinterpretation concerning gentrification, and I think it helps to hear a description/explanation of what gentrification is from those who are both affected by it and educated by the culture from which it hails. I and many others enjoy some of the delights of gentrification while simultaneously having their livelihoods threatened by it.

Which is why it’s important to not be mean.

Their cult teaches them that the world is full of scary monster people who hate them for being so good and loved by god. If you swear at them and call them names or get in their face you’re just doing the cults work for it.

I’m not saying you have to listen to their presentation or try to debate them (and really getting into a debate without thoroughly understanding what they’re being taught will just make things worse)… I am just saying to be polite and say no thank you like if they were trying to hand you a flyer for something you don’t care about.

It’s easier for them to see the world outside their bubble as less scary if they see everyday people just going about their business and being as nice to them as you are to everyone else. This goes doubly for anyone who happens to dress modestly, not swear, and not drink or smoke because whatever you believe, they’ll see you as a “good” person who happens to strangely have no interest in their “message”, and that might be enough to get some curious about the possibility of themselves living in the real world.

It’s sometimes hard to be nice to people who seem to represent something you dislike. Just remember these “elders” are sheltered young men, some of which are getting their first real contact with people of other/no faiths.

They are not your enemy. They are victims.

[traycakes]

They aren't being sent out to actually convert people, they are being sent out hoping that they will be harassed and treated poorly so they view those outside the cult as dangerous and evil and stick to the safety of the familiar group.

You being mean to some teenager isn't sticking it to anyone, you're doing exactly what their church elders want to happen.

[atlinmerrick]

PLEASE READ THIS.

Please read this.

Don't do the church's work for them.

[motherkatereloyshipper]

If you're kind to enough of them, they put you on a block list.

They were such sweet kids, they'd turn up at my door with the thatch of raspberries out front and try to share their word with me, and I'm me, so, I fed them.

Then it was one of the wee 'elder's' birthday, so I made him a cake, and all the little lads came, and they asked about my books and board games and CCGs, I was just a nice frumpy middle aged Jewish lady, I was no threat, so I fed them and made them cakes and took them to the local gaming store and listened when they talked.

One loved yu-gi-oh cards, and it turns out, one of the other wee lads, we'll he loved him back, so I got them in touch with some resources so they had support and a different way to pay for college, they're still together 15 years later, they have dogs, they send me ecards on their birthday. No-one figured out I'd.helped them, I was just the nice lady who made them tea and listened when people were slamming doors.

The next one really wanted to be an artist, so I left out art books and resources, my eldest shared their coptic markers, they draw comic books now, no idea why his folks were insisting he needed to be a dentist, but, he's not a Mormon anymore, (not a Jew either before anyone makes any counter conversion claims).

The first 2 lads were the only dramatic ones, the rest went back into the network but, like Hugh of Borg, they spread the word, sometimes I'd get Mormons from other cities come and make the journey to break bread at my Sabbath table and be seen.

I still think very fondly of that time.

Many of those boys still email me now and then.

Most of them aren't Mormons anymore.

Someone higher up spotted the pattern and suddenly no more Mormons at my door.

I was blacklisted, for kindness.

So there you go, if you don't want Mormons at your door, just love those kids for a couple of years, feed them, help them, and eventually, no more will be allowed to visit

Image description: A photograph of two 19-year-old white men wearing white polo shirts and striped neckties standing next to each other, smiling at the camera and pointing to The Book of Mormon between them. Bold white text has been added along the top and bottom of the photograph to say, “Excuse us, we're 19 year old kids venturing out into the world for the first time and know shit about life. Would you like to hear about what we were forced to learn from a book written by a 19th century con-man?”

[bisexualbaker]

I remember being approached one day while I was sitting in a park, crocheting a present for my brother. At least one of the two young men seemed a lot more interested in what I was crocheting than in the conversion talk he was supposed to be giving. I said I wasn't interested for various feminism-related reasons, and we agreed that doing good things for people was indeed pretty cool, and they went on their way. I think of that kid whenever posts like this come up.

[vaspider]

A couple of years ago now, someone got a hold of my phone number and tried to harass me by putting me on a bunch of calling/mailing lists for various churches and so on -- knowing, of course, that I'm Jewish and not at all interested -- and when I got a message from a very clearly teenaged Mormon, I felt... really annoyed. Not on my behalf -- my skin is way, way too thick to be bothered by that kind of nonsense -- but because this was just mean to do to a kid. They were trying to make me feel bad, but they were also setting this kid up to possibly be yelled at, and that's just... cruel.

I called back, and he sounded so excited when I identified myself. I felt very bad kindly telling him, "I'm so sorry. I'm not the person who gave you my phone number. Someone was trying to use you to be mean to me, and while hearing from you doesn't bother me, I'm very happily Jewish and not interested in converting. I'm just calling you to let you know, because I respect your time and your humanity. I'm sorry the other person didn't do that. That was unkind of them."

We had an exchange or two more, and I said that if there's a way to mark my number as 'do not call' so nobody else's time is wasted in the future, that would be a good idea for both of us. "I don't like the idea of you being used as a weapon to try to hurt me. That's mean to us both."

And so now my number is on their DNC list, and it ended up being a pleasant 5 minute chat.

[transcendental-dustpan]

I was raised Mormon, and the above are all good ways to deal with Mormon Missionaries. Because of what we were taught, those outside the church being nice is one of the better ways to get a mormon to doubt, especially if you’re exmo. I know a lot of us exmos have trouble with being nice to mormons at first because we feel wronged and hurt by those in the church, but it goes nowhere. Mormons are taught apostates are evil and “anti-mormon”, so if you’re nice they realize that teaching was wrong, which can lead to them doubting other teachings.

Also being nice is just good.

[existennialmemes]

The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.

They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.

Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.
