Do you remember the episode of Spongebob where he's training gary for the snail race and does a coach persona + calls gary a girl and has an aside where he's like "I called you a lady to demean you 🤓" and right after he says that it cuts to sandy and she somehow telepathically feels that Spongebob just did something misogynistic and us like I feel like I need to kick Spongebobs ass for some reason. And then she appears just at the end of the episode to kick his ass.

You fool, assuming I'm a dog girl just because I'm trans. I'm a cat girl, the classic, the original. If you tell me what to do I'm gonna lay down and stare at you. If you tell me I'm a good girl my claws are going in your face
You may leave it near me and I'll deign to investigate when it pleases me.
This is allowed. Perhaps I'll let you brush me later.
Shit hang on I gotta look into this
straight men enduring 24/7 sexual assault each other in order to not be labeled faggots is honestly the best example of how masculinity operates. the other day before work a coworker fr shoved a finger in another coworker's ass (above pants) as one of their little "ha ha you're gay" jokes. fuck is wrong with them. equal parts disgusted and fascinated by their behaviour.
of course these people are fucked up and unable to hold healthy relationships grounded in mutual respect! they're constantly assaulting and being assaulted by their friends just to Not Be Gay/Like A Girl!!!
the biggest reason men refuse to recognize a lot of what they do to women as sexual harassment/assault is bc of their misogyny and wanting to maintain our power over women, 100%. BUT can i just point out that maybe a smaller but not-insignificant reason might also be that they can't even recognize sexual assault when other men do it to them???? i didn't tell that coworker bc he's an asshole, but i have had to tell other guys at work "hey what they're doing to you is terrible and you shouldn't have to put up with it you know" which most of them hadn't ever been told before because """""roughhousing""""" is part of that "boys will be boys" thing that makes everyone ignore our abuse
"boys will be boys" okay well maybe boys should be shot
"you can't be punk, it's just not possible" has sincerely become my stance on punk. it's just not possible
The only thing that's punk is arguing about what is and isn't punk
there's nothing punk about semantics or classification actually. it's just not possible
this post made me angry so i went to listen to my FAVOURITE PUNK ALBUMS that i have on CASSETTE (the punkest medium) but i couldn't find them. they were gone. i tried looking them up but the names turned to meaningless fluff in my mind as i typed. it didn't feel like it meant anything anymore. I tried to remember what they sounded like but could recall nothing. I'm saying the word "punk" out loud to myself but it just sounds like noise. I'm not sure i'm even saying it right. was it ever real?
it's just not possible
Ughh, my head… what happened…? I need to go find my Punk Albums…
You cannot choose to be punk, that is impossible
You can only choose to be deeply and honestly yourself and follow your convictions
And when you do that, other people might deem you punk
Punk is a title that others can bestow on you, but you can never grant it to yourself
What a strange note… Maybe this will help me find my Punk Albums?
we’re about 60 days away from 2013 just think about that for a sec
"it's ok to show (x) in fiction as long as the bad guy gets punished!" the bad guy doesn't have to get punished. in fact the bad guy can win altogether. the bad guy can entirely get away with it. hope this helps
and this part might make some people's head explode but: characters can be written to forgive things you personally wouldn't ever forgive. not everything is written as what you'd perceive to be the right choice. not everything is a self-insert & protagonists don't have to be relatable.

seeing "protect the action figures" as a response to "Protect the dolls" is maybe the most insulting thing I've ever seen, to both trans men and trans women.
First of all, the term "protect them dolls" exists because trans women, and especially trans women of color, are killed disproportionally. you are literally "all lives matter"-ing this. Secondly, can we stop this stupid fucking trend of giving gay/trans men the worse version of something that already exists for women?
I still remember having to explain to a lesbian that the term sapphic comes from a real poet who was a lesbian and had droves of love poems about women and is so influential her home is what lesbians are named after and "acheillian" comes from a guy from a story who might've fucked his friend.
"The mlm flag is only so ugly because its the lesbian flag but with boy colors" ok well that's lame as fuck actually
Literally !! get ur hands off my things get ur own !!!
hey thank you so much for these tags @killrockstar because this is literally it
i kinda thought the other day that comparing harry potter merch to swastikas might be a bit tacky but jk rowling has straightforwardly done holocaust denial because she publicly stated that trans people weren't targeted by nazis
i will give every bit of grace to a trans woman who's constantly surrounded by harry potter imagery, actually.
take my ass to torture city where the grass is ouch and the girls are hit me
I honestly think Chainsmoker Cat is poised to have significant cultural potency.
On its face, it's a crude comedy anime about, well, an anime cat girl with a crippling nicotine addiction. However, under the slapstick, it's got undercurrents which point towards other matters of social commentary.
It not-so subtly shows how drug addiction is a coping mechanism but also fucking ruins your life and makes you a seemingly inconsiderate asshole towards those around you.
But also: it much more subtly points to how these coping mechanisms are more likely to be used within communities that are already under higher degrees of societal pressure with very few avenues for social advancement.
Because it would appear that cat girls are in fact a great allegorical representation of the experience of societal marginalization, while not directly representing any individual real world group.
The anime cat girls are not specifically trans women, or immigrants, or a racial minority, or anything else- they're cat girls.
But they ARE shown on screen to all have low income apartments. They are shown to be offered worse jobs and menial labor positions. They are called specific terms that sound a lot like slurs. The police treat them differently. The neighborhoods they dominate appear to have negative stigma attached to them. The girls that are socially respected by non-cat girls are the ones who seem to play the most to respectability politics, and even then they just get patronizingly regarded as "one of the *good ones*."
But on top of how they are broadly disadvantaged and disparaged, they are also simultaneously fetishized.
All of which very straightforwardly tracks onto the experience of marginalization and represents many of the typical tools employed against Black women, trans women, immigrants, and others. Anyone of any marginalized background or anyone with any experience with personal or familial addiction can find something to relate to when watching the anime cat girls.
The only way forward is to stop treating masculinity as synonymous with harmful, monstrous, or dangerous.
There is a fundamental difference between "men are dangerous" (wrong, bioessentialist) and "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" (true).
the thing is that the claim "men are dangerous" is only "bioessentialist" if we also claim that the category of "man" is biologically determined, i.e. that there is some quality of the physical body ("bio") that contains within it the quality ("essence") of man-ness.
if we define the idea of "man" in a way that instead references anything else (as a class defined by a particular relationship to the performance of reproductive labour under capitalism, as a group of colonial ideas that create a certain role within a gender binary, as one possibility for self-identification, literally anything else other than the 'biological' body) then it is not bioessentialist, just because of the definition of what "bioessentialist" means.
the claim "the patriarchy allows dangerous men to exist unchecked" entails the idea that "the category of 'man' exists prior to the existence of patriarchy"—that is, "man" and "woman" are "real" things, "real" preëxisting categories, and then patriarchy afterwards comes along and unethically privileges one over the other. but this—the idea that "man" has a real definition that exists prior to the colonial gender binary / cisheteropatriarchy, rather than being a category or a set of ideals and ideas that was created by the same—is actually the essentialist idea here.
it might not be bioessentialist—you could, for example, claim that the "essence" that creates "man"-ness is spiritual or within the mind, rather than being a quality of the body—but it is definitely and unavoidably essentialist.
the claim that "the category of 'man' is a dangerous one to be begin with" could be essentialist (again, if we make the transphobic claim that a "man" is "a person who possesses a certain kind of body"), but it is the only claim of these two that has the potential to be anything else (i.e., if we define "man" as a particular role created by patriarchy).
effectively, you've got what is and is not essentialist exactly backwards.
A very common misconception within the south asian community. So glad she addressed that. (x)
