we're moving to an internet where children would be banned from reaching out for help and friendship online but abusive parents can post their children's every second online to humiliate and expose them for money with no pushback

they gotta put all their eggs in the "male socialization" basket cause some trans women don't even have the body parts they fearmonger about but they still want to control them

[mousidy]

like at this point in the like... 10+ years trans women have been a go-to wedge issue, everyone knows how chromosomes don't necessarily determine phenotype, everyone knows bottom surgery exists, everyone knows intersex people exist, everyone knows some people don't even produce gametes at all, everyone knows we don't stop calling cis women women after a hysterectomy or sterilization

the well of bioessentialist arguments is starting to run dry cause everyone knows the facts that disprove them. so they've had to greatly exaggerate how socialization works and how immutable it is cause what the hell else are they gonna do, lol

[mousidy]

it's almost as if the underlying logic is that the gendered class you inhabit is not biological in nature. there is no contradiction between "cis women are still women after a hysterectomy" and "trans women are women both before and after bottom surgery"

you can't say "hey has anyone noticed that M/M fic outnumbers F/F like 100:1” or “it feels racist that only 3/202 characters on the ao3 top 100 ships list are Black and two of them are Alastor HazbinHotel” bc some ppl will start going like “oh so you think we should FORCE people to write about things they DON’T CARE ABOUT for WOKE????” and you’ll be like “no, i’m pointing out that the conditions that created this disparity are informed by racism & misogyny” and ppl will say “it’s not BIGOTED to only care about WHITE MEN” and then the gargoyle king appears

Check who the most popular character in the Sinners tag on AO3 is.

It is not one of the black characters who the film is primarily about, but the racist white villain.

Wait, so people watched fun family sitcoms and everything is happy and then:

“But the aliens will take over Earth and kill us all!”

The X Files seems like a Debbie Downer.

So can non-disabled people stop doing that thing where they act like it’s morally righteous to force yourself to work while you’re sick and assume taking sick days automatically equates to laziness. Any time now. That’d be great

[skipppppy]

The leader of the scout group I help out at approached me out of hours while I was walking to work to tell me that people have been talking behind my back because I missed more sessions than I attended this term (on account of having Covid twice) and was like “We all show up when we’re sick because we take responsibility” and I felt really shitty and guilty and cried the whole workday then I got home and told my mum and she was like “So they want you to throw up on the kids? That’s dodgy. They don’t even pay you. Stop going” and a wave of serenity hit me like a bus

Some of you may not want to hear this, but sometimes autism accommodation means giving that socially awkward person who said something that came off as passive aggressive or uncomfortable the benefit of the doubt. Not everyone is capable of reading social rules and cues effectively, I thought this was autism 101.

[marzipanandminutiae]

you can always ask for clarification or (NICELY) explain how it came off to you, remember!

I have an autistic coworker who used to say really uncomfortable things to museum guests while making small talk. like bringing up active, controversial revolutions in their countries if they were international, and such. finally, after a group of Hawaiian guys got visibly angry when he asked if they were "in the military or just rich" to be able to live there- meant to be a cost of living joke -I said, "hey, personally, I try not to talk politics with guests. sometimes it may upset them and we don't get paid enough to deal with that"

he looked thoughtful and said, "oh, I never considered it that way." turns out he was just a geopolitics nerd and didn't realize people might react emotionally to what he saw as a purely intellectual discussion

he hasn't done it since

You’ve heard of the Roaring 20s........

now get ready for the Screaming 20s - coming to a decade near you in 2020

[heterokatedison]

is it too early or can we start screaming now

[heterokatedison]

in retrospect perhaps we should have started sooner

[jorolle]

this post is the equivalent of a newspaper from the day of the outbreak being blown past by the wind after you wake up in a post apocalyptic world

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges

A section of Miss Major's Wikipedia page.

A trans sex worker named Puppy over 50 years ago getting murdered inspiring her to act more deliberately and collectively for the safety of trans sex workers. "...the start of her activism...."

You cut off an important part.

Stonewall became the epicenter of rebellion because it was one of the few queer bars that let trans women in.

The article also touches on how drag balls were originally created by trans women for trans women.

The entire subculture was appropriated by cis gay men in the late 60's who then barred trans women from participating.

The "queer culture" that so many tme people are eager to preserve is a culture of our exclusion. They're eager to take the art we create, the movements we start, they're glad to have us fight for their rights, and then kick us to the curb while saying it's "not the time" for our rights to be defended. They sing the praises of women like Miss Major while attending "afab only" events. They talk about how awful the abuse of trans sex workers is in "afab only" support groups. They cry about the plight of homeless "trans people" while sleeping in "afab only" shelters.

They love to talk about all the good Miss Major, and many other trans women, have done while actively contributing to our exclusion and oppression. Its very clear that they do not love women like Miss Major.

We are the Omelas Children of the queer world. Their gains are built on our suffering.

<3 An island full of hot as fuck queer and trans women where no men are allowed is definitely my idea of paradise <3

I'd move there this second if I could <3

That's just science <3

Reneé Rapp says 'straight people don't exist' to her

Reneé Rapp has spilled on her queer friendship group being so tight that she has forgotten straight people exist.

[tannisroute]

isn't it crazy that a woman being gender nonconforming literally just requires her to exist in her own body without making any changes whatsoever. why does the fact that i don't wear makeup and i don't shave and i don't wear a bra have to be some political act. why can't i just fucking exist

John Blanche, one of the people who gave warhammer a visual identity, has passed away.

I don’t think that I need to talk about how influential he was or how talented and gorgeous his artwork was, I think that speaks for itself.

The world was a bit more colorful to have him, and the world of Warhammer 40k was more grimdark thanks to him.

Requiescat in pace.

If you don’t like black elves, don’t talk to me

Due to a recent unpleasant conversation, I would like to take a moment to remind everyone that if you think black elves don’t belong in Warcraft, please never talk to me again.

If you think black elves break the lore, never talk to me again.

If you think black elves are pandering, never talk to me again.

If you think we don’t need black elves because we have Mag’har orcs, NEVER talk to me again.

I don’t care what your reasons are. I don’t care how much you say you aren’t racist. I don’t care. Unfollow me. Block me. You’re racist and I don’t want to interact with you.

[scots-dragon]

Once again, Pathfinder comes in clutch.

A fantasy world without black elves is not worth imagining.

"It isn't socially acceptable to hate on trans women"

The entire political order of every western country has been calling for the eradication of trans women for almost a decade and no one has faced any negative repercussions for it. Trans women have no serious federal legal protections. It's entirely legal for anyone to fire a trans woman simply for being a trans woman and nothing bad happens to them, and it happens all the time. Every single one of us knows multiple trans women personally that has happened to, or it has happened to us personally, or both. Usually both.
