briefly rising from a couple of really sick weeks to muse.
I don't put # men dni on any of my posts.
I don't like it. I find it dysphoria inducing and I find that transmasculine, nonbinary, and genderqueer community often find it dysphoria inducing. I find it anti indigenous. I find it colonial. I find it tired and reductive. nonbinary people are not all "non men" white feminine afabs with they/them pronouns who are agender/neutral about gender writ large. a lot of nonbinary people are actually bigender+. a lot of us have race(s) that play into our gender.
man/woman arent inherent opposites in any way. it's a really white & Western idea to believe otherwise. I understand sapphic community not wanting cis men to fetishize them, and blah blah fucking blah, and simultaneously, whether you tell them to "dni" or not, I don't think the ones you're worried about would stop or think twice if they're the ones you actually want to dni. however transmasculine people and trans men, especially the butch and lesbian variety, will think twice if we are allowed to be around you, or should be around you at all.
because we dont want others to be uncomfortable. we dont want you to be uncomfortable.
I also always worry about alienating people exploring gender, new to exploring gender, or baby transfems on any of my posts. I simply block men that are weird and fetishistic to me. trans or cis.
being bipoc & gender complex in what feels and seems to be majority white agender fem(me) "non men" spaces makes me a little insane.
but no. I don't put "men dni." I find it exhaustive. regressive. overstated. you're not really as inclusive of "nonbinary people" as you think you are if your idea of nonbinary actually just means "(white) neutral/feminine/woman adjacent."
atp im gonna start blocking people en masse using this rhetoric. people irl are really normal about all of this (in that i dont get minced about who i am and what my gender is or should be). people online cannot fucking shut up about men when they make lesbian, sapphic, or wlw posts.
“For white folks especially, not looking like you're oppressed is equivalent to not being oppressed. That's why they look at Black people in certain positions of middle class lifestyle and say, ‘Well, you're you're not discriminated against.’ That's why they don't count microaggressions as racism historically. That's why they don't look at neocolonial situations as colonial even though they clearly are, because it doesn't look like obvious racism. It doesn't look like obvious white supremacy. That's why white people are like this. And that's why again, you know, white queers have racism envy. That's the term I'm going to use. Straightforward, white queers have racism envy. They think in their heads that the kind of social currency you get from being obviously discriminated against is something that could be wanted, desired, sought after in any serious way, which in itself is racist, is anti-Black. The idea that not only you being straight-passing is something that maps onto exactly what being white-passing is, but also that this is some sort of crime against the marginalized community and some sort of indication of your having special powers over other people. I mean, that's just queerphobic and based off of how you read that, it's racist.”
—Elliot Sang, Mysogyny against bi women
also for the love of god stop comparing tme/tma to racism and white privilege. stop using racism as a weird placeholder and placing tma as the "poc" and tme as the "white"
the same goes for the stuff where it's like "trans men have privilege over trans women the same way white people do over poc!"
it's so fucking weird coming from white people and trans poc have to say it over and over and then you all STILL do it !!!

🚨 URGENT: Escalating Violence Against the LGBTIQ+ Community in Indonesia 🚨
The situation for the LGBTIQ+ community in Indonesia is reaching a critical and dangerous tipping point. Recent government actions, specifically Presidential Regulation No. 111 of 2025, have officially classified the spread of LGBTQI+ culture as a "non-military threat" to the state. This harmful state-level rhetoric has already emboldened anti-LGBT groups, sparking a documented surge in harassment and abuse against LGBT university students during recent Pride Month celebrations.
Tragically, this state-sanctioned hate speech has now escalated into brutal physical violence on the streets.
🛑 Hate Crime Alert in Bogor, West Java 🛑
As reported by Pelangi Nusantara, a targeted and organized series of attacks has just occurred in Bogor:
At least 15+ trans women have been brutally attacked by an anti-LGBT group.
The violence is being actively provoked and documented by an Instagram hate account called @bogorbersihlgbt.
Victims, many of whom are vulnerable trans women surviving by working on the streets, were punched, kicked, doused with urine, and in some cases, stripped naked.
The victims are currently suffering from profound psychological trauma and serious physical injuries.
We cannot stay silent while our community is hunted and harmed. Here is how you can take immediate action to help:
