they need to come up with more words like necrosis and miasma and mausoleum and cadaver and morose and decrepit and stuff like that just so metal bands can expand their vocabulary

Black Hills drilling project canceled after backlash from tribes

A South Dakota mining company has canceled a drilling project in the Black Hills after opposition from Native American tribes and local grou

The backlash was a major lawsuit from 9 tribes alongside other lawsuits from advocacy groups like NDN Collective. You can support NDN Collective by donating to them here.

I get your point and I agree with you but if I may: "it doesnt even get that cold in the uk" was a slap in the face as a poor, disabled person who's disability is severely impacted by cold and cannot afford heating (let alone the electricity to run an ac unit, the govt absolutely need to do more to finance utilities for us) and could have been left out.

Winter is incredibly debilitating to me and to my elderly grandmother. Sorry its not cold enough to warrant anyones concern though.

So the reason I said that is because people keep repeating "houses in the UK are designed to hold in heat, which is why they're hotter than houses in the US" uncritically, and as someone who lives with winters that are significantly colder and summers that are significantly hotter, it just makes me scratch my head. It would be like me walking up to someone from Fairbanks, Alaska and telling them that they don't understand real cold.

But let me be clear: Any amount of cold is too cold if you don't have the infrastructure for it. You won't see me mocking anyone for having a rough time in the winter no matter how mild it is compared to the ones I live with (just like I hope those folks up in Fairbanks, Alaska don't make fun of me for my Wisconsin winters).

I am in no way trying to say it can't be bad. Just that the justification for how we somehow don't understand the heat in the summer doesn't make any sense.

HATE when there's an objectively cooler word for what you want to say but you can't use it because it's "archaic" or "obsolete" 🙄 Okay well my best friends from the 1600s say it sounds fine.

if i could give one piece of advice to newly transitioning trans men, it's that it's 100% possible to find a community of people (including women!) who don't treat you as a threat, and the people trying to convince you otherwise are not your friends

[ftmtftm]

Also, perhaps, have we considered that it's actually really bad that we treat closeted trans women (and closeted nonbinary people, and frankly cis men too) this way? Like. It's a bad thing that trans women are treated like distrustful monsters for """"being men"""" before coming out by one demographic and then are also treated like distrustful monsters after coming out for being trans by another. That's not a sign of a culture with a healthy relationship with gender in the slightest!!!

Have we considered that treating people as inherently dangerous or distrustful by virtue of their gender alone is in fact, the very gender essentialism that perpetuates radical feminism in our spaces and that is something that we should be working on stamping out?

I am genuinely sorry that people across multiple different identity lines experience this shit because no trans person should be treated like a distrustful monster just by virtue of their gender identity before or after coming out.

*extends my hand* Let's examine the ways we allow gender essentialism to invade our spaces and harm other trans people and put an end to this cycle of gender essentialist abuse together!

"Toxic yuri" is a very context-dependent term because half the people using it are clearly picturing some sort of subtle psychological warfare and the other half seem to be describing the girl version of whatever is going on between Batman and the Joker.

Cannot believe there’s fucking defence of AGAB-only spaces going on in the transandrophobia tag. It’s disgusting, because we don’t need to be perpetuating transmisogyny to speak on the issues that affect us. (And also perpetuating things which harm trans men considering we aren’t universally accepted into

The reaction to there being a group of people who’ve decided to dismiss the claims of and harass any and all people who claim to have been harmed individually by a trans woman is not to start throwing transmisogyny around. You’re just hurting people because you’re hurting. And by roping the idea of transandrophobia into your transmisogynistic crash out you give people more reason to dismiss the harm we go through—including the harm you yourself want recognized.

[a-polite-melody]

Even more broadly, AGAB-segregated and gender-segregated spaces are not trans-friendly in general and are broadly exorsexist and intersexist. They rely on the idea that you're less safe around people because of an assignment at birth or because of their gender. Neither of those things inherently predisposes someone to being more dangerous; no that's not how statistics work.

an interesting linguistics find! so I'm reading this text from 1908 and it keeps referencing "hp" in the context of "not being at full hp" "applying your full hp to a task" etc

and I'm like....... okay that is a perfectly normal way to describe energy and reads totally clear to me, but I KNOW you don't mean hit points/health points which is the first place my brain goes, so what are YOU using hp to mean

and it's not explained in-text, which means it was common enough to not warrant explanation to the 1908 audience, so gotta look elsewhere

horsepower. turns out it's horsepower.

and I'm absolutely FASCINATED that a commonly used initialism from 1908 now stands for something different AND YET the contextual meaning is still the same to a 21st-century reader

I could hand this guy my nintendo switch and he'd be like, ah yes I understand, this ''''pokemon'''' loses horsepower throughout the fight

Hey so you know how people always talk about transmasc erasure? Coming across that paper on Tumblr discourse on transandrophobia reminded me of something.

When I was doing my criminology degree, I went to several professors with several thesis ideas, and all of them were denied. These were all ideas based on transmasculine crime and victimology stats. Every professor shot down every thesis I had on ideas related to transmasc victims of various crimes.

Their reasoning? There's no need for this. This is useless. Nobody is interested in reading about trans men and transmascs being victims of crimes. They wouldn't even let me do my thesis on estimating more accurate stats on transmasculine victims of homicide. Which is an INCREDIBLY important thing!

So yeah. Next time someone talks about how trans men and transmascs aren't victims as much, remember this. Researchers don't want to research this. They won't allow people who want to do so, to do so. I couldn't get anyone to advise me on these papers.

If you’re someone who believes that gender is stored in how oppressed you are, of course you’re going to become very confused and upset when someone who belongs to a group that historically has held power says that maybe because of one little thing (being trans) they actually do not have access to that power and are also oppressed!

Genuinely, I think this is why so many TRFs get upset at trans men and mascs speaking about medical misogyny. We are not weaponizing our AGABs by talking about material reality, our oppression does not threaten the validity of trans women and fem’s oppression because gender is not determined by how oppressed you are. You do not have to be The Most Oppressed to be a woman, and being apart of a marginalized group does not automatically mean you are a woman.

Fundamentally, a lot of this transandrophobia that comes from within the trans community is coming from a place of dysphoria and we need to start recognizing it as such.
