they told me not to get lost in the weeds, but these are lush, beautiful, and ecologically necessary native plants so it's probably fine

A frustrating thing about being aware of transmisogyny is how hard it is to convince other transfems (particularly those who are newly out) of its existence as a real form of oppression.

You'll meet a girl who got kicked out of a queer group because of a sex joke she made that landed badly, and she'll just be taking 100% of the blame and saying she deserved it, saying that she should have known her place and been meek and sexless to prove that she's not a predator.

You'll meet a girl who's afraid to go to the laser clinic, because the one time she went she overheard the laser techs arguing about who would be "burdened" with her, and from that she internalised that she *is* a burden that no one should have to deal with.

You'll meet a girl who's gone to the theoretically-inclusive sapphic meetup like ten times, even though no-one ever talks to her, and when she tries to talk to them they give a one-word response and turn away. And she just keeps going back because she thinks the problem is that she's the "new girl". Even though there have been three newer girls than her who are already in the in-group.

Some of these women are so used to marginalisation and mistreatment, that when it happens again and again they consider it the natural course of events. It's their own fault, some unique character flaw that they alone have. And they're so isolated and desperate for community that they will put up with any amount of abuse from other queers.

Sometimes it's only after seeing it happen several times to *other* transfems, and never any other kind of queer person even if they do exactly the same things, that they realise that a pattern exists, and there is a name for that pattern, and all there's a whole world of transfeminist writing for them to dive into with newly-opened eyes.

can we just talk about how akio said the MOON serves no purpose??

brother?? the TIDES???

[undoomedyuri]

see, i think that's precisely the point. akio thinks of his sister as little more than a pretty accessory. she exists only as an extension of himself, not as her own person. she isn't a person at all--just an object. something that has no use but to be stared at and appreciated by him.

but the moon isn't some object that only exists for the sake of people to look at. the moon serves a crucial function in the way the earth exists now. life on earth would be thrown into absolute chaos if the moon disappeared. it might seem like the moon is useless to us, but that's only because we are choosing to view it from our own limited, selfish perspectives.

the same is true of anthy. she isn't some object that only exists for the sake of akio's affections. without her, life in ohtori would be thrown into absolute chaos. she is the one who keeps ohtori running. she is the one with the power, power that akio exploits for his own gain by abusing her. but by viewing her as an object, deluding himself, akio both disempowers his sister by reducing her to that object within his patriarchal system, and leaves himself vulnerable. because now, all anthy has to do is acknowledge her own power, and his entire system will come crashing down.

Also doesn't the moon protect the earth from a lot of asteroids by getting impacted with them instead?

Sounds kinda relevant

To a certain extent I get that sexual orientation is socially constructed but I need you all to understand that lesbians still exist and no we will not fuck men or be attracted to men. Im sorry but its the exact same shit as "well gender isnt real so trans people are actually regressive"

And I do notice how this line of logic is used to devalue the existence of lesbians and not nearly as much for other sexualities.
