writing a movie about a violent man in a dress who kills women out of a desire to become one and then insisting over and over that it can't be transphobic (despite it's cultural influence to the contrary) because he isn't a real tranny is. well it's beyond parody isn't it.

[mars-hollow]

reallyyy not a fan of the habit people have of deflecting guilt for making abhorrent and obvious caricatures of trans women in media by insisting that it was actually super progressive because he wasn't a real transsexual!! you see the same shit with rhps. just a complete failure to take some accountability and say "yeah that was insensitive we shouldn't have depicted a real group of people that way and it has brought them material harm as a result."

[emrakulsstrongestkitty]

It's so frustrating when people pull the "but he isn't a trans woman," like yes, the transmisogynistic caricature will not be called a woman by the source material, please consider why that is

"The Hateful Image of You is a community building thing for us though." "We felt so safe in The Hateful Image of You it let us explore ourselves." "The Hateful Image of You inspired women to join imperialist government organizations." "Honestly I dont even care how you feel about The Hateful Image of You it doesn't matter that nobody acknowledges the affect it has on You." "I have personally helped facilitate dozens of productions of The Hateful Image of You its not amazing its just a movie."

Silence of the Lambs, Ace Ventura, RHPS, Sleepaway Camp, Longlegs, Psycho, the list goes on and on and on and The Hateful Image of You lives on in the hearts of everyone around us and TME people expect us to just, not care? Is it so hard to empathize with a trans woman for one minute that they can't even conceive of having The Hateful Image of You depicting yourself in a warped portrait with blood smeared on it and how it makes us feel? Especially that its a beloved community gathering thing to take part in The Hateful Image of You? That The Hateful Image of You unites everyone else in enjoying it? That the sharing of it perpetuates its renewal over and over again?

Nah, I'mma be a loud pissed off tranny about it. The least I can do to fight what kills so many of us before we can even be ourselves is shit on every one of these shitty fucking things yall make. Fuckin Hell.

earth-shattering report finds that over 2000 mathematical proofs were faked, including publications from notable figures such as euclid and pythagoras. a spokesperson from the american institute of mathematics said "this is a massive and wide-reaching scandal. we're not even sure triangles have 3 sides anymore. that's the level of problem we're dealing with"

Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.

Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️‍🩹🦅

"save me, substance abuse!" i cry. before you can moralize to me about the dangers of addiction, a noble and powerful steed gallops into the room - my horse whom i have named "substance abuse". you learn an important lesson about making assumptions. i snort a line off its back

listen. newly out tgirl. I am grabbing your hand gently. do not EVER, ever ever ever, trust any tme person who thinks of themself as more of a lesbian than you, or more of an authority on women's issues than you. I promise, no matter how freshly out you are, it's not that you need to quiet down and learn. you are not tainted with some implicitly anti-feminist maleness that you need to atone for. you are a woman, unequivocally. do not trust anyone who makes you feel otherwise, not even for a second. there are no exceptions to this.

a lot of the first wave of queer theorists (thinking here folks like Califia, Rubin) fell into a mistake where they looked at the ways that Stranger Danger and other forms of "protecting the child" from the shadowy figure of the pedophile, noticed that this was leveraged against gay people specifically, and then chose as a reaction to consider "boy love" (as it was usually called then) a sort of oppressed sexuality. I believe at this point, none of the currently living theorists who argued this still hold it, from what I understand.

So, what does that sort of lens miss? Some provisional thoughts:

The simple abolition of taboos across the board really has no liberatory meaning. A society with no adult-child sexuality taboo isn't inherently more liberated than the alternative - just look at Ancient Rome. Of course, many of those early gay people were actually very nostalgic for the non-Christian, more idiosyncratically open to homoeroticism mores of the Greco-Roman world. Regardless, as we can see, adult-child sexuality frequently fits into larger heirarchical models of social organization. One simply has to make the actual argument for why something is good - beyond simply that it rejects a current repression

Is the "Pedophile" socially sanctioned, marginalized, punished? Certainly, just as much as the "Rapist" as a category of person is socially sanctioned. Does that mean that child sexual abuse is? That seems to be much less the case. Child sexual abuse, like other forms of sexual coercion or exploitation, seems common enough to say that it is not fully condemned by society in some sense. Especially taking into consideration the likelihood of allegations of this really only sticking to or affecting disempowered people (see by contrast: the President).

Countenancing the psychiatrically constructed category of the "pedophile" and then arguing for its liberation reifies the modernist categorization method. A comparator might be less something like gay people or trans people, but if the DSM-6 had a paraphilic category called the "rapeophile" - someone who had an inborn sexual identity that meant they could only be attracted to people and have sex with unconsenting sex partners. Even if those put in the Rapeophile subgrouping were truly oppressed (say, diagnosis results in death sentences, no matter one's conduct), this wouldn't have anything to say about the underlying acts themselves. It would merely be an argument against the naturalization categories. It wouldn't really follow that we need to 'destigmatize rape'.

In any case, I think that this is one of the many traps of naturalized sexual identifications - if they were true, it might follow that there's really nothing morally actionable about someone's inborn disposition. But luckily, there's all sorts of queer and trans perspectives that reject this sort of re-affirmation of modern sexological and categorical systems.
