reciprocity is salvation

Lion she/they Minors DNI DNI if you identify as white, a man, religious, a TERF, or cis/het. I'm a misandrist. I also hate white people. Go away, Cracker. Y'all invented hell to cope with the awful things you do in life. This is a safe place for people who identify as First Peoples, PGM, Intersex peoples, 2Spirit peoples, Trans women, Transfeminine peoples, Nonbinary peoples, Demi-gender peoples, people with any and all forms of disability, and Aspec peoples. Overall TW: I will never tag for triggers

What you must understand is:

1. Men are systematically privileged over women.

2. Men love to take advantage of that privilege while simultaneously denying that it exists.

3. This dynamic does not change when the men and women in question are trans.

I hate witches so much because you'll say "All witchcraft is appropriated medicine from spiritual indigenous cultures." And they'll say "No, magic (they mean paganism and wicca) is older than that." And you'll ask when it was invented and popularized and they'll say "It was created in the 19th century and popularized in the 20th century(🤨) in England based on European myths." "... So that was well after the colonization of North America..? So that was invented by your grandparents after they read a book written about or by indigenous cultures..?" And they'll look at you with all the furios eye twitching of a 13 year old with a Harry Potter addiction that's been told the author is shit and then decides to keep defending them because they still want to go to Hogwarts anyway. Like mafaka get a grip there is no such thing as European culture because everything you got, you got from us.

one time I told my therapist "I tend to have issues with people who think of themselves as authority figures" and she burst out laughing and then said "I think we need to pause and reflect on how you phrased that"

Most recent Neopets lore update: the depressed character everyone has been semi-jokingly claiming has dysphoria for the past two years just went through a magical rainbow transformation and immediately started going by they/them so I guess it wasn't actually really a joke after all

I don't have time for tumblr discourse they're calling the very hungry caterpillar degenerate art over on twitter

[despazito]

good art is when something looks like real life, the more real it looks the more better the art. abstracted figures give my trad children nightmares, one time they were exposed to cubism and couldn't go outside for a week

May 25th: Unidentified transgender woman found dead in Brays Bayou, Texas. Suspected murder.

May 24th: Murray Foust found dead in Kentucky, missing since April 27th.

May 18th: Eryka Caldwell murdered in Brooklyn.

May 10th: Juniper Blessing murdered at University of Washington.

May 6th: White House releases "counterterrorism strategy", including "transgender ideology" as a domestic threat.

Trump's words are not empty rambles. Transgender issues are not a "distraction". Violence is being incited against us and protected en masse.

[baraphalloplastyclinic]

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

[faerevolution]

personally I think if your first response to "have you considered transitioning" is to list the ways women are expected to perform in society that you don't want to be expected to comply with, what you need is estrogen plus feminism, not more experience with makeup

[mousidy]

"we're all faggots in the eyes of the state!" "we all have it just as bad!"

ok. wage gap

like. come on now

trans mennnn pspspsps understand your relative privilege over your transfem sisters and use it to support and uplift us instead of pretending not to have the structural leverage necessary to harm us. ooooo you know you want to build queer solidarity

[cannibal-flowerbomb]

I suggest getting angrier about misogyny.
