you'll feel like a total dipshit train wreck and no matter what some girl is gonna see you and think "role model". you can't kill yourself you have to go be clocky in the gas station so a 14 year old can have the trajectory of her life altered forever

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[moth-grrrl-mavis]

Feminine men existed and were part of the queer community long before people built an entire identity around a transmisogynistic slur. Having a problem with a culture based around the degendering fetishization of trans woman isn't "increasing binary expression".

If people had chosen shemale, trap or ladyboy instead of femboy as their new label I'd be arguing against those instead. Hell, tme people do call themselves traps, which is extra disgusting considering what that word implies.

Put on a fucking dress. Grow your hair out. Wear eyeliner, it looks great on everyone. I encourage it. Gender is a scam invented by bathroom sign companies.

But stop building an identity off fetishization of me and stop acting like I'm the problem for being upset by it.

I don't care if tme feelings are hurt by this btw. Find a better rebuttal.

My friend Ahmed is a studious, curious child, but Israel's genocidal campaign against Gaza has taken everything from him. His family lives out of a damaged tent, and rely on his vetted campaign for survival. They have struggled to afford enough food for many months. His body is starting to break down from this prolonged malnutrition, causing him to live with persistent dizziness, vomiting, and intense pain down to his bones.

[closet-keys]

Ahmed had been fundraising on @ahmedaldani333, but Tumblr staff deleted his blog without notice or explanation. He moved to @ahmedaldanigg and literally within 30 minutes staff deleted that blog too. He's waiting to try again until tumblr's racist campaign to erase Palestinians dies down. Please help his campaign circulate while he is not here to promote it himself.

[closet-keys]

The last time he texted me, Ahmed told me that the food prices in Gaza are still rising. He is in agony from hunger, unable to share his own campaign on tumblr, and even the small amount of donations he does receive affords less and less nutritious food. I urge you to keep him in your thoughts and to continue to donate to him so his family can provide consistent food. He is a child. His body is supposed to be growing, not wasting away from hunger. Please help him.

Basically I think a lot of White ppl think the antithesis to racism is "Black people are inherently Cool, White people are inherently Lame" and it's just very hard to convince them that this is also extremely racist lmfao

[biracy]

It's the combination of "seeing a racialized group as Fundamentally Inherently Good is still dehumanizing and you aren't seeing them as people" and "your self-flagellating White guilt is extremely annoying for the people of color around you to deal with"

Every time there's a new witchhunt for whoever's the latest poor trans woman the internet's decided to abuse this time, every damn time it's either:

She Literally Didn't Do That

Whatever she did has been taken out of context and/or blown out of proportion in a way that doesn't happen to anyone but transfems

The thing that she did is a completely fine, normal, inoffensive thing to do but the internet's bloodlust for transfems is insatiable so they're gonna make it seem Bad Anyways

And I'm tired of pretending it's anything but!

[transsexual-feminism]

This is transfeminism!

yesterday someone made an account called transwagegap-debunked, and when someone linked them a study showing uneven rates of employment, they said "maybe you can fix that by getting a job?" and then, when challenged on this, went "I'm just a disposable cunt whose life doesn't matter to you huh?" and deleted their account shortly after

very funny I gotta be honest

[mousidy]

not to mention, when they were challenged on telling that trans woman she should solve employment discrimination by getting a job, they spun this as if they were being pressured to read the study and went "can't you take no for an answer?"

like... I get that you have some fun tricks to play to make trans women look like predators for doing anything at all, but somehow it's giving me the impression you're not here to have a good faith discussion about the academic literature

[mousidy]

those duplicitous and cunning trannies are pressuring innocent women into reading academic literature

[manuciruja]

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

[wizardarchetypes]

i was like 'it's weird the way everyone is doing free pr for the catholic church rn just bc the pr for the new pope has already been that good' and someone was like 'wait? why don't you like the pope? did something happen?' i feel insane i'm not exaggerating i didn't even know what to say?? 'did something happen?' yes the last 2 thousand years of global history, and no, going back 2,000 years in catholic history is not dramatic because it's remained consistently that bad throughout and in fact i do think the church should answer for every single century of its sins while all of its assets are returned to the people from which they were stolen and its global power is dissolved.

denying trans kids hrt when they're sure of which puberty they want to go through is also an act of oppression. even if puberty blockers are available, we're not protecting kids by denying them the opportunity to go through puberty at the same time as their peers

"what if they go through physical changes that they later regret?" we allow cis kids to take that risk. in fact, most of them are never even given a choice and told they might regret it. just educate trans kids about what hrt will and won't do for them, then let them decide

[akajustmerry]

sorry but if you studied and understood feminism as the liberation movement that it is, you would not be making men who are hurt by a system that still benefits them a top priority. the damage that choice feminism, white feminism, and rampant transmisogyny have done to people's perception and understanding of feminism so that it's now an accepted position to prioritise the individual well-being of men over the liberation of everyone else actually oppressed by systemic patriarchy is mind blowingly absurd. idc about men and boys who feel lonely and turn to misogynistic grifters to fill the void because they're not the ones who will be primarily harmed the most in that scenario !! women, girls (trans and cis) and queer people are. these men's lonliness and anger are problems that won't exist at the same scale when we no longer live in a system that normalises that behaviour to the primary detriment of women, girls (cis and trans), and queer people. i am so exhausted by rhetoric that seeks to center the greatest benefactors of patriarchy over the actual victims of patriarchy, simply because the perpetrators and benefactors of patriarchy don't like themselves.

There is definitely a phenomena where people try SO hard to avoid anthropomorphism they end up looping around into this quasi-religious stance that humans have some essential non-biological quality that sets us apart from other animals. Like being so cautious about how you describe emotion experienced by a nonhuman animal that you go "that animal is not 'happy' it's just demonstrating a response to positive stimuli and receiving chemical reward signals" as if that's not also what human emotion is at the fundamental level.

[bark-barkley]

[mewvore]

Did a challenge where you get a random word and make a comic in one day based on it! The word I got was "boy"

[defiantlybouncingonit]

Attention seeking behaviour and drug seeking behaviour are both so funny to me.

Like yeah man. When you need something you seek it out. I’m gonna go engage in some Lunch Seeking Behaviour or some shit

[unconventiononthelawofthesea]

discussion of AI on here is like if you said "I'm annoyed they put up a billboard that blocked part of my view" and someone said "yeah! also all billboards are made of baby skulls and going to destroy the world" and you said I don't think that's right and they called you a billboardbro and then you went to work and your boss said that they're replacing all forms of communication in your workplace with erecting billboards you have to read and if you say that that's probably not the best use case for billboards they said you just hate progress

[molsno]

I understand that people do this because it's easier to write but I honestly think we need to stop saying "amab" and "afab" and start writing them out in full more often. better yet, bring back the c. "coercively assigned male at birth" and "coercively assigned female at birth". people have gotten way too comfortable latching onto the m or f and using them as shorthand for "male" and "female" even though the point of these terms has always been to highlight that sex is something that you are assigned at birth and coerced into performing. it's not a neutral observation about a baby's genitalia, it's an active assignment that is forced upon you against your will the moment you're born, before you're even capable of understanding the words being used to make that assignment
