An iconic UK bookstore is offering visitors the opportunity to vandalize Harry Potter books for 25 pence. The Bookish Type, the trans-owned bookstore in Leeds running the promotion, will donate all proceeds to gender-affirming healthcare costs. Good fundraising idea or bad messaging? 🤔

[icaruskey]

fantastic idea

Books are precious, but not to the point you can't deface them or reuse them in ways that you want/need, especially not a dime a dozen copy of a popular series.

This is art. It's activism, it's demonstration. And the money goes to a good cause. So good all around.

i think people need to get a grip around the fact that a state or other governing body banning/destroying books is bad because it stems from intent to control people's knowledge and what kinds of ideas can be expressed and shared.

it's not that, like, astral nazi particles are created whenever anybody of any social status or authority fucks with any book.

proponents of the sex binary love to say that the Essence of your sex is stored only in one or another part of your body, and this Essence loves to move the moment it's pointed out that that aspect is not always aligned with one's other sex characteristics via being intersex or transsexual

"sex is in your genitals, I mean it's in your chromosomes, uh I mean it's in the size of gamete your body produces, uh I mean it's in the size of gamete your body is intended (???) to produce"

[mousidy]

there are plenty of body parts that are regularly attributed to sex, and yet people are terrified of the idea that they may not always come in one of two particular configurations

all the talk about which part your Sex Essence really lies in is just drawing and redrawing linguistic boundaries as a method of erasing intersex and transsexual people. it's pure word games played to deny reality and define those of us who don't fit into the sex binary out of existence

[mousidy]

the mythology of the Sex Essence, by the way, is how the patriarchy attempts to keep people bound to their assigned classes so it can categorize and control. you don't have a sex. you have a configuration of body parts and you have a state assigned class loosely based on only one of those body parts

[mousidy]

when they say "sex is real" they really mean "Sex Essence is real"

btw when a lot of you say "amab" and "afab" it's obvious you're actually referring to Sex Essence rather than referring to the process by which the state assigns a class

CAN WE SWITCH TO THIS ACRONYM ACTUALLY

[mousidy]

- people need to be reminded who does the fucking assigning

- doesn't roll off the tongue, so you will never hear a trans woman called "an ambts" out loud
