I agree with you on most things. But I still don't understand how "kill all white people", "kill all yanks", "kill all transmisogynists" or "kill all men" are all understood as an expression of frustration by victimized groups, but suddenly "kill all rapists" or "kill all pedophiles" when expressed by a victim of sexual abuse is bad? "Kill all racists" doesn't mean "have the state murder everyone ever accused of racism" but it does when it's for rape?
Ok, I'm gonna try to make this very clear and simple.
TL;DR version being "if you say 'kill all rapists' you would've cheered the murder of Emmett Till and many others, much like other whites at the time and now did."
Marginalized groups, particularly Black and Transfeminine people, are often falsely accused of being specifically rapists and pedophiles particularly by groups that hold systematic power over them as a basic tool of white supremacy. They do this specifically as justification to kill these marginalized groups, as society often sees marginalized people accused of those things as de facto guilty, compared to for example white men who are often assumed innocent.
Comparatively, marginalized groups are very rarely falsely accused of being yankees, crackers, etc. specifically as justification for a call to murder/lynching/etc. of specific individuals.
The difference is that the material conditions and interactions with white supremacy surrounding these groups you've provided examples of are wildly different. If you are branded a pedophile as a trans women (such as the current US administration has been repeatedly trying to do to all of us lmfao) you will be automatically seen as guilty by many around you and lose a lot of your support network outside of other trans women who have seen the same thing happen.
Meanwhile, if you get accused of being white its just kinda. lol. Its something often easily falsifiable with a picture and a timestamp paper, whereas accusations of being a rapist or pedophile are often non-falsifiable.
So when you say some shit like "kill all pedophiles", a lot of trans women will end up hearing you say that and going "oh you'd want me dead even if I was innocent" because it is often going to be an incitement to mob/vigilante justice, such as "set your local abuser on fire". There's rarely any talk of actual justice, ensuring there's anything beyond the exile and/or death of the target, etc.
Seeking actual justice for everyone involved, especially if the system failed the victim, should still not result in the evaporation of basic human rights for the targeted party, guilty or not.
Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation
This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones
I’m starting to realize we may not all be ready for Racism 102, aka “often times, you don’t think ‘I’m going to be racist,’ you just act on it.”
It does not matter what other reasons you have for being racist. It was still racist. White people lashing out on people of color when In Their Feelings About Something is still racism. White people objectifying people of color for WHATEVER reason is still racism.
speaking of r slur shit i see people using the word then backtracking saying “i can reclaim it because i’m autistic :)” like i don’t think you can actually. because the r slur directly targets people with intellectual disabilities not someone who took the raads-r online and scored slightly within range of being on the spectrum SORRY
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?
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
a lot of my disillusionment with the trans "community" comes down to the fact that too many of you take "gender is different from sex" and go "ah ok, so instead of saying women are fragile and men are strong, I should say afabs are fragile and amabs are strong. to be Inclusive"
then you just treat gender like a surface level aesthetic draped over what someone "actually" is. really is indistinguishable from terf rhetoric
you all need to unpack your bioessentialism, but we also need a better theory of gender than "it's just dressup." I will pick my words carefully here, but the word "gender" itself refers to so many different phenomena that have been lumped together, and we need to un-lump them
in a feminist context, "gender" has historically referred to externally imposed categorization and the internalization and performance of said categories. in a paper I wrote on this subject, I called this sense of the word "extrinsic gender"
"intrinsic gender," on the other hand, is what I used to refer to the sense of the word "gender" that a lot of trans people are talking about when they discuss social gender dysphoria and euphoria. it's the internal sense of category that's resistant to external impositions
but then we also use the word "gender" to refer to subconscious sex, which is the term Julia Serano coins in Whipping Girl to name the phenomenon we're talking about when we talk about bodily dysphoria. it is the "gender" being "affirmed" by gender affirming healthcare like HRT and bottom surgery
so, "gender" is: a social classing system, a performance, and at least two internal phenomena as well. and I really don't know if it's doing us a service to conflate all of these things!

“be gay do crime! but sex is yucky and crime is wrong!” ass website
i appreciate this, but in a world where your gay brothers and sisters are being actively punished if not outright killed for having sex—in a fascist society that is trying to make gay sex a crime and has successfully done so in the past, in ways that still harm us today—we have GOT to be there for gay sex and the people having it. it doesn’t make you any less gay not to have sex, but that’s not something bigots are going to take into account, and if they do, it only stands to make you “one of the good ones” and pit you against your siblings and loved ones. whether someone personally wants sex or not, i think we have a responsibility to defend the people who do just as much as the people who don’t.
Sure, but it’s not been long since this entire website was virulently anti-asexuals so that’s probably worth keeping in mind too. We actually don’t defend people who don’t have sex very much at all. And trust me, the bigots don’t love it either so.
i dont disagree that asexual people have faced hostility, including on this website.
“don't stigmatize gay sex" and "don't stigmatize asexuality" are compatible positions. we can and should defend both. what im pushing back against is a strain of rhetoric that treats consensual sex as inherently suspect, gross, or morally dubious. that line of thinking is not in defense of asexual people; its a judgment of people who have (gay) sex
Hey, asexual here. We don't actually need to fight against every single pro-sex statement on the website to be respected. In fact, being radically pro-gay sex goes hand-in-hand with sex-repulsed asexuals' right to not have sex, because both have to do with consent and bodily autonomy.
The slippery slope of sex control goes straight from "you can't commit sodomy" to "husbands have a right to their wives' bodies."
Meanwhile being radically pro-gay sex is about the idea that "as long as two (or more) people are consenting adults, who cares what goes on behind closed doors?" and you'll note that consenting is a vital word here. It means that they also can't force you, a sex-repulsed asexual, to have sex.
The post was fine. Leave it alone.
how come its always "well lesbians won't exist after gender abolition" and not "everyone will be lesbians after gender abolition" huh
yeah i can tell when you say gender abolition you mean everyone will be men. get real
i have multiple nominally transfeminist trans women on here blocked because they just can't stop spreading the incredibly easily debunked lie that "(C)AMAB/(C)AFAB" terminology was appropriated from intersex activism. literally even fucking wiktionary acknowledges that this is a "folk etymology" originating on tumblr. it is explicitly an intentional transphobic lie intended to rob trans people of terms that allow them to describe their positionality. COINing is not fucking real. the people who originally pushed this canard want you to say you were "born male" or are "biologically male" instead of "camab" because they support a cissexist, naturalized view of coercively assigned gender as biological fact. they are not good faith intersex activists, they are terfs and other trans exterminationists. STOP SPREADING THEIR PROPAGANDA FOR THEM!
like maybe 50% of the time i see the word "transphobic" used it's in a context where "transmisogynistic" is more accurate, to the point, and illuminating re: the actual gendered dynamics and stakes of a given situation and then you say that and get immediately hit with 50 different replies of friendthatstoowoke.jpg for remembering about women
just wrote 10 paragraphs to my MP asking him to push back against the EHRC's updated guidance, aka the trans bathroom bill.
Durham pride happened today. the Reform UK led council cut the funding, with the deputy leader, a gay man himself, citing "gender ideology, kids on puberty blockers, and men in women's spaces" as the reason he disapproved of pride. it went ahead thanks to group such as Durham Miner's Association fundraising (solidarity forever!) but the fact still stands that this attack on trans people hurt the entire queer community.
this new guidance hurts queer people in many ways (another example: gay and lesbian couples where one person is trans will no longer be protected as same sex couples under the Equalities Act) and of course, hurts our trans siblings the most (feeling unsure or unsafe about using public bathrooms will lead to trans people going out less. trans men are expected to either break the law or simply not go. trans people will be excluded from pools, gyms and spas that don't have mixed sex changing rooms.)
i wrote about all that, but you may have your own thoughts or relevant experiences about how this guidance has or will impact you or your loved ones. so write it. call on your MP to do the following:
Demand full parliamentary scrutiny, debate and a free vote on this Code.
Support any motion tabled in Parliament objecting to it.
Write to the Minister for Women and Equalities and the Prime Minister.
or, if you don't have it in you to write ten paragraphs (which is very understandable), you should still fill out this email template with your own personal touches and sign this petition, if you're british. and if you're not british, you should reblog this so your british followers can see it.
40 days. One email. Your name on the right side of history.
Launch a review into strengthening legal protections and clearer enforcement against discrimination, harassment and exclusion of trans women
don't save this for later. don't put a pin in it, planning to come back to it later. later may never come. we only have 31 days. do it now while it's on your mind. it really doesn't take long.
@soft-puppy-boyfriend while i understand that by "the miners" you mean the Labour party, this feels like a good place to reiterate that Durham pride, which i attended yesterday, was actually funded in large part by Durham Miners' Assosiation! several miners turned out, as did many other trade unions, and they all marched with their banners. Mike Jackson of LGSM attended with the LGSM banner too.
the Labour party no longer represents the miners, but the DMA and true miners remember and stand with us in solidarity.
Solidarity between LGBTQ+ people and unions has saved an event denied ‘a single penny’ of council money
