I've increasingly been encountering cis "allies" saying they're replacing "woman" in their vocabulary with "AFAB" to be more inclusive of transmascs, e.g. if they're talking about people who get sexually harassed by men. I used to think this was a well-meaning position born of ignorance, but I've discovered that you press them on whether they think transfems get sexually harassed by men, amazingly they will often admit that they know they do. You then ask them to reconsider why they refer to "AFABs", and they just repeat that they want to be inclusive of transmascs.

The only way their contradictory behaviour makes sense is if they understand that transfems are marginalised in much the same ways as cis women, but they just don't care about it. Their solidarity does not extend to us.

Saw a post that said "if you call yourself a misandrist then I know you're weird about trans women who don't pass" and like. Those are women. Like if someone is a piece of shit to non passing trans women that's transphobia. Not some made up oppression for the men. Trans women are women. Stop trying to claim otherwise.

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

transfem mutual aid request .

Work has not given me any... work. Search for anything new has been impossible. I'm super behind on rent. on meds. on everything.

I'm short by $1100. There's too many things I'm running low on to list. Overwhelmed and with no idea what I even... can do at this point. Anything helps. Sorry, thanks.

A collection of children's drawings made from 1943 to 1944 as part of drawing classes taught by FRIEDL DICKER-BRANDEIS in the Terezín Ghetto. All children was made to sign the paintings with their own names.

Note on context:

"I remember thinking in school how I would grow up and would protect my students from unpleasant impressions, from uncertainty, from scrappy learning," Friedl Dicker-Brandeis wrote to a friend in 1940. "Today only one thing seems important -- to rouse the desire towards creative work, to make it a habit, and to teach how to overcome difficulties that are insignificant in comparison with the goal to which you are striving."When she composed that letter, Dicker-Brandeis, a Bauhaus-trained artist and a Viennese Jew, had fled Nazi-occupied Austria and had been living in the Czech countryside for two years. The artistic world in which she had thrived had been decimated by a new political order that had no room for Jews or Bauhaus utopian notions. In 1942 she was incarcerated at Theresienstadt, a concentration camp built in the town of Terezin, not far from Prague. There she persisted in pursuing her goal -- "to rouse the desire towards creative work." Dicker-Brandeis, the subject of a show opening at the Jewish Museum today, spent the last two years of her life convincing children at Theresienstadt that art could help them withstand, if not overcome, unfathomable misery. As they waited for early death, she taught them to draw. She treated this not as a distraction but as a calling. She graded their work in several areas (dimension, color) and provided rigorous instruction.

had a dream about these two clowns doing bits together back and forth and one clown is getting increasingly sincere in his comedy and he tells the other clown to kiss him so they do and when the other clown pulls back he looks to the audience and goes "it's more than just a joke after all" and then I woke up
