THINGS THAT NEED TO STOP IN 2016

CIS people attempting to be the authority on what Trans Women, Trans Men and Non-Binary people experience. If I see one more "_______ does not experience misogyny/male privilege" post I'm going to flip. Cis people need to quit working off of the assumption that society sees us/treats us in the way that we identity. Stop making theories about our lives because you haven't lived them so there's no way you could truly know what we experience. What you're saying when you make statements like that is that us Trans people who don't fit your ideas of who experiences "misogyny/male privilege etc" aren't really Trans. So stfu. Thank you. Happy Post-Halloween.

world wide anti blackness/ genocide

trans/queerphobia is not limited solely to the actual murder of people it also includes but is not limited to:

casual cissexism (ie. “girls are so strong dealing with their periods!”)

denial of privilege (ie. “yeah gay people might have it hard but i have it hard too and im straight!!”)

trivialization of oppression (ie. “not all cis people are like that!! theres a few assholes out there, but most people are accepting!”)

passive by-standing (ie. not actively oppressing trans/queer people but also not DOING ANYTHING when they are being oppressed)

refocusing attention onto the privileged party (ie. “yeah you may get called a [t slur] but you called me a cishet which is bullying!!”)

weaponizing support (ie. “now that you were mean to me i dont know if i want to support queer people anymore”)

invalidation of anger (ie. “just because youre oppressed doesnt mean you can just bully people!”)

simplifying oppression (ie. “lets all just be nice to each other!”)

erasure of identities (ie. “just stop labeling yourself and you wont get oppressed!”

Hollywood’s appropriation of Hawaiian culture

So POPular!'s Janet Mock, who is herself a native Hawaiian or Kanaka Maoli, talks about the new film “Aloha,” that word’s true meaning, and Hollywood’s continued appropriation of Hawaii and the culture of its native people.

Please watch this video in which Janet Mock comments on the cultural appropriation inherent in Cameron Crowe’s romantic-comedy “Aloha,” which is merely the latest in a long line of Hollywood movies erasing the existence of the Native Hawaiian people while glorifying exotic postcard images of our home.
