The transmedicalism that percolates in the wider trans community makes me feel like i'm losing it, hearing a sound nobody else can.

Like, claiming trans folks who don't medically transition have a privledge over those who do? Huh????? The fuck?????? Does transition ≠ doesn't desire transition; how many people would kill to get hormones and surgeries but can't? How many trans people who don't even desire hormones and surgeries are murdered for being noticable deviations to the strict binary- how many of us (binary and not) have died because we were honest about ourselves and decided not to hide it? How many trans people did hide their identities and killed themsleves because they couldn't live that lie any longer?

Why does it feel like I'm the only one who sees this? Why does everybody and their mother insist that "closet privledge" is basically real and never hurts the people who stay in the closet? Why is the assumption that a visibly trans non-medical transitioned person gets more respect than someone who has medically transitioned and generally passes???

It feels like I'm in a room with a bunch of people doing adderall and telling me its sleep pills; theyre just downright wrong. Sorry on the rant but I needed to get it out somewhere and you seem likeminded enough to understand

It really is something, fr. I'm with you on this, And there's nothing I can do about it other than be correct and complain on my tumblr- because those people have louder voices who are taken more seriously within the community

[justscorn]

this is actually retarded. how do we have louder voices?? transmeds are extremely rare in “trans” spaces, all of them are flooded with tucutes constantly talking over us. your OWN post is an obvious example of this. you got more engagement using the transmedicalist tag and spouting tucute bullshit than any actual transmedicalist has correctly using that tag.

What do you mean leave Russia alone?

[youth-rights]

I am continuously astounded by how much pro-homeschooling rhetoric flies in youth rights circles.

Homeschooling (yes, that includes unschooling) consolidates massive amounts of power into the hands of parents. Homeschooling causes horrific abuse and isolation.

The homeschooling movement is far-right and blatantly pro-abuse. The HSLDA called a man who kept children in cages a “hero.” They has helped to block the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child AND the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, has backed legislation banning both same-sex marriage and civil unions, and helped kill a bill that would define isolation as abuse, among countless other offenses. Its founder, Michael Farris, wrote in his dramatized narrative of CPS “stealing” children from their Christian homeschooling parents that hitting children to the point of bruising is not abuse.

Libby Ann has extensively documented HSLDA’s support of abuse, including praising abusers and attempting to block all bills that define abuse more strictly, even if “more strictly” simply expands the definition to include bruises and welts.

You can’t be pro-youth and pro-homeschooling.

[thefiresontheheight]

I grew up in a household that donated to the HSLDA and was homeschooled and all that.

HOMESCHOOLING IS THE BEST POSSIBLE WAY TO ENABLE CHILD ABUSE.

You know how we on the left are opposed to nuclear families because they are a historical outlier from the larger multigenerational households humans have largely had across history? Because nuclear families isolate kids so that if one or two adults in their life fail them they have no recourse?

Modern homeschooling is that turned up to eleven. It is a life where if your parents are guardians are abusive you literally have no way out. No help. No one to turn to. It is ENTIRELY opposed to children’s rights as autonomous individuals.

[cardassiangoodreads]

A lot of very ignorant reblogs going on about “but disabled kids!” like there aren’t numerous cases of homeschooling parents using it as an excuse to neglect and abuse their disabled children, including just not educating them at all. And unlike abuses in school, they tend to go much longer undetected, because no one is checking in on them.

Schools can be regulated to be better to disabled children. Much better solution than funneling disabled children out of the reach of authorities.

I say this as an autistic kid who often had issues at school. The assumption from some here that those of us who are anti-homeschooling aren’t considering disabled kids is insulting (on this website?) and dangerously ignorant. Disabled kids are all the more reason to protect kids from the rampant abuse that homeschooling enables, and instead to have them in places where their education is regulated by laws designed to look out for them, they are being educated by trained professionals and more importantly, there are so many more adults keeping an eye out for them if anything bad does happen.

[stripedroseandsketchpads]

So, on one hand most kids are not homeschooled for disability reasons, but for “moral” ones - 75% of parents want to provide “moral instruction”, 53% explicitly state it’s religious. Comparatively only 15% of parents cite health special needs (which encompasses any health or developmental condition lasting longer than six months) as a reason for homeschooling. So they’re creating a straw child with this argument in the majority of cases.

With that being said…

Disability rights activists fought for decades to be allowed equal rights and access to public schooling and IDEA, which was only passed in 1979, is under threat of repeal by the Trump administration because they believe parents should “handle kids themselves” or better yet just institutionalize them. This combined with threats to Section 504 and other laws which mandate accommodations mark concerted efforts to force disabled children out of public life entirely and is part of the right-wing anti-social safety net agenda homeschoolers push specifically because they actively want parents to have absolute legal and practical authority over their children—which means, in reality, impunity to abuse.

It is absolutely spitting on the legacy of disabled activists like Judith Heumann, many of whom got their start as young people self-advocating for their own rights to be educated to condone the prioritization of homeschooling.

A bit more info/stats but it is, obviously, related to child abuse of all kinds so cut for that.

[jamjarblues]

i was homeschooled. everyone i knew before the age of 18 was homeschooled.

IF YOU CARE ABOUT CHILDREN YOU DO NOT HOMESCHOOL THEM. EVERY SINGLE CHILD I GREW UP WITH WAS ABUSED. I WAS ABUSED. I STILL SUFFER FROM THIS ABUSE. DO NOT HOMESCHOOL.

[bucksbeagle]

people are so allergic to the concept of just saying “i don’t like this” instead of making up incoherent arguments as to why you don’t like it / why it doesn’t work. you can just say you don’t like something. not every opinion needs to go to trial.

[nerathul]

or why its problematic and anyone who likes it should be arrested or something.

Bear religion probably fucking rocks. You're a fucking bear, you're the deadliest thing on earth, once a year an endless supply of salmon just flings itself up the river to gorge on and then you nap for 3 months.

[phaeton-flier]

The most delicious food in the world is protected by tiny demons who can defend it from everyone except you. Your natural armor is thick enough that you can just eat the damn hive while they buzz around you. God's chosen animals right there

[centrally-unplanned]

Regular bears tell stories of angel bears sent by the Bear God, pure white and twice as strong as any normal bear could be, who rule the summit of the Earth and kill all who stand in their path.

And they are right, those bears exist and totally do that. Humans just have fake angels as a cope.

[theabigailthorn]

love the idea of bears being the chosen species actually. having a near death experience and glimpsing heaven and realising it's just full of bears, no humans at all, humans not ensouled actually, humans an accidental byproduct of God's plan for bears

Happy fucking pride Jonathan was murdered for being queer AND native It was a hate crime His death wasn’t by natural causes Jonathan Joss being queer and also native is a big thing as to why he was targeted in a hate crime That’s being left out of this conversation by non natives esp white non natives right now We know why They erasing that part of this During pride and indigenous month no less too His queerness and being indigenous are linked in this

“Why was he living in Texas In the South We didn’t he move to a blue state?” He was a Comanche Native in Texas He was already fucking home I know what white people are doing in posts like these But natives queer people Black people disabled people and people of color also live in the fucking south Where is that meme about white people acting like the north doesn’t also have bigotry cuz they have pizza ovens Happy fucking pride Remember that bipoc and qtipoc exist

i think its fine to have limited tastes in media if you understand your limitations. like i wont shame someone if they only watch cartoons because thats their choice but i also dont think you can go making hot takes about the horror genre if the scariest thing youve watched this decade was the owl house finale. that seems ill advised.

[storm-of-feathers]

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

Kaifeng Jews in China were, for many years, cut off from other Jews AMD thought they were the only Jews left. Imagine their surprise when European Jews, fleeing the Holocaust, arrived in their town, speaking a language they already knew: Hebrew.

Similar things happened in Uganda and Ethiopia.

Even when Jews are removed from each other, we maintain our identities. We recognize Jews from other countries and we will share a history, language, songs, and culture.

[nerathul]

Also, broadly, the vast majority of religions were/are ethnoreligions, being the cultural and religious beliefs of ethnic groups, it's just we live in an era where a small amount of expansionist and proselytic faiths have become dominant.

Judaism is just one of the most visible surviving ethno-religion.

“We left rhetoric about Jews poisoning wells in the Middle Ages!”

Modern rhetoric:

[nitpickspot]

I am...concerned as to what she thinks has been DONE to the goddamn cookie

[vo-kopen]

What, is it now safer to eat if you have Crohn’s Disease?

[nitpickspot]

Like, its an Oreo. It's not exactly a bastion of healthy christian living in the first place.

[nerathul]

So apparently the horrible thing (((THEY))) have done is... Release a sugar free version that uses maltitol, polydextrose, sucralose, and acesulfame potassium as sweeteners in response to a survery that 2/3 of american want to reduce sugar intake but don't want to give up familiar treats.

No, this doesn't replace the regular oreo either, this is just a secondary product.

[ollie-duck]

Literally what does that have to do with Jews Israel?

She knows what she’s doing with that thumbnail.

[nerathul]

In the mind of anyone who isn't a raging antisemite? Absolutely nothing, but in the mind of people like her who believes in Goyslop conspiracy; the USA's sometimes questionable food hygiene or decisions are entirely an evil ploy by the Elders of Zion to destroy America/White People.

It's also the 'reason' they claim why American soda uses HFCS rather than cane sugar (and not that america is basically blackmailed by the agricultural lobby and rural state inequivalent voting power making it so the country has more damn corn than it can figure out what to do with)

everybody: you’ve got to advocate for yourself in medical settings!

medical professionals when a patient advocates for themselves in a medical setting (x100 if that patient is a part of any minority): damn. you’re a hypochondriac crazy bitch who has every mental illness and is seeking every narcotic in existence. that’s the only reason you’d be disappointed in the care you’re receiving here. in retaliation, we will be even less helpful and less sympathetic. our jobs are hard. people are dying. we don’t have time to deal with anyone who is slightly inconvenient for us.

[nerathul]

Yeah, it's seriously difficult to find the line between being passive and blacklisted everywhere as a 'drug seeker' and 'problem patient'

I just can't get over the part about how REAL Judaism "died" in the mid-20th century. Antizionists really do wish the Nazis had succeeded, don't they?

[arandomshotinthedark]

Oh, I see they took Mein Kampf and the Protocols and ran it through progressive lingo.

Let's see-there's Jews are wealthy (Powerful Jewish Capitalists), Jews control everything/responsible for everything-hey we even have a shout out to the Nazi Octopus, Good Jews vs Bad Jews ('Real' Judaism), Jews are White, Jews are Rootless Cosmopolitans/Colonizers, Jews are Liars, Opposing Judaism Is Righteous (Are we talking Middle Ages, Nazism, Sovietism? No what, doesn't matter, it's the same shit repackaged!), The Jews Are the Bad Guys In An Ahistorial Cartoonish Way that They're Responsible For Their Own Ethnic Cleansing And Genocide in the Middle East Outside Israel....

Oh and we have ableism for some good measure "twitter short bus".

[knight-of-skyloft]

"Anti-Judaism is a progressive force" incredible. Breathtaking.

[nerathul]

The Proto-Nazi invented the word Antisemitism to make them sound like they weren't raging bigots but having a rational argument, now this fuckwit's basically decided 'actually let's bring back judenhass' so we've circled back it seems
