Tumblr is so white that you’ll have people who call themselves “anti racist” saying that being accused of racism is a death sentence

[walterthemelon]

Like idk what to do anymore. Sometimes people are racist, and POC deserve actually to know if someone is racist before we give them our support!

[sunfilledsound]

hey btw being racist and committing racist acts is not always intentional. you can be doing something racist and not know. getting called out for racism if you are being unintentionally racist literally just means looking inwards, growing and learning about how you can be better, accepting that you hurt people, and apologizing for that hurt without expecting forgiveness.

oh my god it’s almost like it’s just like everything else in life!!!

wait if you can take feedback about everything else why can’t you take feedback from people of color about racism

it’s almost like… no… no i shan’t say it..

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.

[i-miss-poptropica]

this is also why universal basic income is inherently a feminist issue. like i actually do think people should be able to choose to be a stay at home parent or whatever but until there are meaningful social safety nets so that leaving an abusive spouse after being a housewife for an extended period of time is financially feasible for the majority of women who make that choice, yeah we should be making sure that more people are fully aware of what they're getting into when they make that choice.

like my parents relationship was abusive and my mom was a stay at home for 20+ years and when she did want to leave it took her literally years of planning to be and to actually get out. because yeah, dad owned the car, he owned the house, his name was on the bank accounts, he was financially abusive.

but the fact that she was even in that situation in the first place is because of a whole lot of societal failings.

[sunfilledsound]

not be all “me me me” but this can happen to literally anyone. my cousin comes from an educated family. my father, her father, and my aunt all were college educated and had stable jobs. they encouraged her as much as possible to go to college and get a degree. all of her siblings got a degree. my father was paying her way through college (graphic design) with his residency money.

in college she met a man named Jonny who was a priest-in-training. he told her he wanted to get married right away and to drop out. and despite all of her family telling her not to, she did. and lied to her family for years to keep it hidden

she is now stuck in an abusive relationship with two kids and no stable income. she can’t leave because her husband owns the house and makes the money (despite being fired from his job for sexually assaulting an altar boy) and no judge will award her custody. she would get nothing in the divorce. she is doomed to stay with this man.

we see her as much as we can, so she has a support system. but she likely won’t be able to leave.

it’s not enough for one person to say “kid, don’t marry before stability”. there needs to be a genuine cultural shift around the way we see marriage and traditional homesteading because people are being caught in abusive cycles with no way out.

Since transfeminism was coined in 2001, its usage has morphed and changed. At present, the dominant strand of transfeminism does not promote unity and solidarity. Instead, it has fallen into relying upon toxic and often separationist politics- a crude distortion of the founding ideas of transfeminism. Emi Koyama, author of The Transfeminist Manifesto, was explicit in transfeminisms inclusion of all trans people in its movement. She wrote that transfeminism began primarily for trans women and that "it is also open to other queers, intersex people, trans men, non-trans women, non-trans men and others". Her initial publication of The Transfeminist Manifesto was in the year 2001. Two years later, she revisited it and added the following in the postscript of the 2003 edition "I take full blame for the fact that this manifesto is heavily focused on issues male-to-female transsexual people face, while neglecting unique struggles that female-to-male trans people and other transgender and genderqueer people face". Numerous other transfeminist publications recognise the need for greater solidarity between all trans people and for transfeminism to be explicitly inclusive of all transgender and nonbinary people. Talia Bettcher explained in 2017 that "since trans men are also vulnerable to sexism, transphobia, and the interblending thereof, trans feminism would be ill-advised to exclude them from its purview". Despite the academic push for greater inclusion and solidarity, socially these ideas have not manifested. And so transunitism was created to bring awareness to these ideas with clarity of intent and purpose. [...] A synthesis of transunitism theory and transfeminism results in what the transunitism movement stands for. It is my hope that through transunitism theory, we will create a trans community that includes all, aids all and fights for all.

loving your friends so much that every love song makes you think of them. makes you think of laughing in the kitchen and eating popcorn of the sofa and sneaking to seats closer to home plate.

post that isn’t gonna go anywhere but when i see queer discourse i just get so SAD because it just feels like the whole world hates me sometimes.

like, i’m lebanese arab, so basically half the world already hates me

i’m gay and trans, so half my country hates me and i’ll likely lose my citizenship upon transitioning (i live abroad)

i’m trans and almost all my family will likely not speak to me after transitioning, not to mention that i won’t be able to visit most of them

and i’m a trans MAN so it feels like even half my own COMMUNITY hates me

and i can’t transition yet because of above (and admittedly fear of losing the people i care about) so it feels like even some TRANS MEN hate me

like.. i’m 18 years old. i didn’t ask for any of this. i didn’t ask to be like this. if i could snap my finger and make it go away i would but i CANT. and its PAINFUL. and it feels like i dont have anyone.

isn’t this community supposed to be our anyone? isn’t the whole point to make a family because some of us don’t have a family of our own? what’s the point in dictating who is and isn’t allowed here and there and who is really queer and who isn’t and hating and wanting me dead. half the world wants me dead. is that not enough?
