On Tumblr, you could make a post that briefly mentions "seafood" and someone asks you what that is, and you figure that they've just never heard the term, and explain that it's just the word that covers all non-mammal marine animals that people commonly eat - fish, shrimp, mussels, etc. You know, food animals from the sea. And they still don't get it, ask you to elaborate, and then you elaborate on the explanation and elaborate the elaboration, on and on as this person keeps being more and more confused by your insufficient explanations, and you are just as confused by their confusion.

And then it turns out that they have somehow never before encountered the concept that some people eat animals that are pulled out of The Big Wet. Unaware that marine fauna can even be fit for human consumption. Yes, they've had tuna before, but tuna comes from cans, not the sea. No, they've never wondered why the can of tuna has a picture of a random fish printed on the label.

It DO be like this

And then some Colour Theory -ass fucker shows up with a lecture of how decorations depicting fish in non-fish related items is a strong theme in the art of an indigenous group that nobody in the conversation belongs to, and it was imperialist, eurocentric and rude of OP to simply naturally assume that "pics of fish on the can means meat of fish in the can" would be the most intuitively logical assumption.

My parents had a friend in college to whom they actually had to explain that milk comes from cows. He had thought it was a manufactured drink, like soda.

He grew up on a farm. A berry farm, but still.

...And the other farmers didn't bully the hell out of his parents for neglecting to teach him that??

Insane to me that literally preschoolers learn things like "sometimes your experience is different from someone else's experience! Sometimes what you like isn't what your friend likes! Our differences make us all special and colorful and unique!"

And then 20-somethings with an internet connection will willfully unlearn this and post comments like "why is op saying 'everyone enjoy an orange today!'? I'm actually allergic to oranges and I dont like apples or bananas and I dont really want any fruit plus im not hungry right now and I dont have time or money to go buy groceries or transport to get there and the store is closed because its Christmas day plus there's a big hurricane so I dont really understand? Op this doesnt apply to me I dont get it? You need to apologize for trying to hurt me with this. I could have died. Why didn't you say something true about me instead?" and then they expect not to be told to shut the fuck up.

Sometimes I think about how there's a lot of gender expression in the queer community that is just completely and entirely cut off for fat queers.

Like if you're a fat gay man you're a bear and that's the only gender expression you're "allowed". I've never, ever, seen someone refer to an effeminate fat gay man as a femboy. It doesn't matter if he's dressing the exact same way as the twink (who's gender expression is explicitly about thinness), the twink is a femboy twink and the bear is just a girly bear.

I see it over in sapphic spaces too. Butch is a word that yes is open to women of all sizes but Femme really.... isn't? Femme presumes that you're thin. Sure you can be a fat femme, but your fatness will detract from how femme you are and if you do anything less than High Femme Princess Peach ass shit then you'll be shoved into the Butch Zone despite anyone with eyes knowing that you're not butch you're just a fat femme who didn't have the energy to do her full Instagram Cottage Core outfit today

Its been a known both in and out of the trans community that fatness may as well be its own gender experiance. If you're a cis woman, but you're also fat, your gender is now fat. Oh people will still she/her you, but you're gonna be unpersoned because you're not attractive enough to be a woman. If you're a cis man it'll be the same deal, just repeatedly dehumanized because fatness isn't attractive to mainstream society and if people's boners don't activate then you aren't a real man/woman.

In the nonbinary community its extremely painful because the only view of androgyny is "Skinny twink who could pass for either". If you're fat and also some flavor of nonbinary you get to settle for "Mistaken for a trans man/woman" if you're visibly queer.

i feel like the term “dogwhistle” is becoming increasingly misused and it’s going to become dangerous at some point

professionalchaoticdumbass

dogwhistles are used as plausibly-deniable signals to other members of the in-group to signify the person as a member, while remaining at least somewhat inconspicuous to outsiders. they are not a general “oh i recognize this as terf/nazi/hategroup bullshit, therefore it’s a dogwhistle”.

“1488” is a dogwhistle. “Wombyn” is a dogwhistle. “Globalist elites” is a dogwhistle. Calling trans women “TRAs” is a dogwhistle. Saying “total jew death” or “biological males don’t belong in women’s spaces” are not dogwhistles, they are just the explicit rhetoric of neonazis and terfs, respectively.

i need people to learn to differentiate between “this is a dogwhistle” and “this is outright bigotry” because i am tired of seeing people say “omg dogwhistle” to terfs outright saying trans women are men. please. at this point it’s just giving them more plausible deniability.

xgutter-glitterx

the entire point of calling it a dogwhistle is that only dogs are supposed to be able to hear it

"gender critical" is such a funny term for people who base their whole identity around unquestioningly enforcing the gender binary they were raised with. the patriarchy set up a binary and you're like "I will defend the sanctity of this social construct in the name of feminism" Absolute clown shoes. Imagine a tradcath calling themself "religion critical"

The L in LGBT is short for Lady who... erm, how shall I put this... prefers the company of women

acertainrandomguy

The B in LGBT is short for "bonus 10% damage against everyone"

the T stands for "That's against community guidelines"

Happy pride, everyone! I made a joke about my embroidery and now I've made it reality.

Want to use this as an icon? Consider tossing me, an unemployed trans person, a kofi donation! I'm still looking for a job and in the meantime any support at all really helps me to keep stitching projects.

i made trans cube in spore [2008]

with our powers combined we can destroy TERFs for good, which is why trans cube looks out to the side to protect his fellow trans friends, not straight at the enemy

together we can charge up a beam attack strong enough to erase transphobia from all of history

i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary
