QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

trans women need to stop calling their guys they hang out with grunglers or whatever. how fucking sad is it that some of us felt the need to come up with a term for "guy who tolerates us". you can just get along with them and not have some weird term that obfuscates and creates artificial distance on that relationship. and you can have more than one you can have lots. its called "friends"

they're selling anti-ai slogans on sweatshop-produced t-shirts. i don't need to write the poem for you to get it do i

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

[manuciruja]

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

you need to learn to decorate your spaces like you live in them. not because it develops and reinforces a sense for your identity, even though it does. just so my nosy ass can pick up on all the juicy details and environmental storytelling when i come over to visit

i've heard often that most advertising these days does not exist to persuade you of the virtues of a product, but rather to build familiarity with the product so that later when you're under pressure you'll respond to the familiar brand with relief.

if this were true, advertisers operating by this scheme would benefit from (and work to bring about) a world in which people respond with genuine fear to the idea of unbranded, "unofficial" things.

and indeed they do.

to avoid confronting exploitation, we endow products with a spirit that lives within them and confers their price (useful!), and in refusing to think about who makes our food we also forget how it is made

—pickles become something found jarred on shelves, rather than a broad family of recipes some of which are only two ingredients long.

this lack of understanding creates fear. my well-meaning nesting partner will eat any potato salad at the supermarket but has questions, so many questions for me (is our water tested for bacteria? is our scale accurate enough to determine that you've added enough salt? is our refrigerator the right temperature?) when i make things myself.

the refrigerator question i find particularly galling because she never cares what temperature the refrigerator is when nothing homemade is in it. obviously, the printed expiration date on products is gospel, temperature be damned.

it's magical thinking, and it's unbecoming of a communist.

remember that you can make things.
