Hey so if you think a transmasculine interpretation of a work is lesser or wrong than a transfeminine interpretation, that's transphobic as fuck

Ex-NHS surgeon Nizam Mamode broke down as he told the international development committee what he witnessed when working as a surgeon in Gaza.

Q: You believe it was deliberate targeting of civilians? A: Absolutely no question in my mind and I and it's been uh it's been the experience of so many healthcare workers who've documented it time and time and time again um but my personal experience and those of my colleagues was this was clearly persistent deliberate targeting of civilians and I've worked in a number of conflict zones um in different parts of the world I was there at the time of the Rwandan genocide um I've never seen anything on this scale ever and that was also the view of all the experienced colleagues that I worked with um one of the surgeons in my team had been to Ukraine five times and said this is 10 times worse normally in a conflict Zone you would have a front line have fighting going on between um two sets of forces and you might get some civilians injured in in that um in that exchange there doesn't seem to be a front line there just seems to be 1.4 million people trapped they can't leave and having bombs dropped on them on a daily basis and then drones coming in and shooting them and um and there's plenty of evidence um out there uh from from Israeli soldiers that that's what's going on but we saw it you know we saw the results of it

Dr. Mamode talks about how they are running out of supplies to operate and how they used the last of their shunts - device used to bypass artery in the neck to supply blood to the brain - on a three year old shot deliberately in the neck by an IDF drone. The 3 year old died 4 days later from infection because they don't have the medicines either.

There is no way every doctor, including a Jewish American, an atheist Californian and a British guy and everyone from every nationality/religion, is lying about what is happening in Gaza.

It’s why Israel doesn’t want foreign healthcare workers in Gaza anymore.

You can stop foreign journalists coming in. You can kill Palestine journalists at an alarming rate.

Because you can’t stop doctors and nurses coming home and telling their stories. They are very much the boots on the ground.

TERFs think we are gender traitors who want to oppress women and ‘transfeminists’ think we are gender traitors who want to oppress women - while still treating us with misogyny

I’m using the above as examples of the sentiment that you will find, identical to TERF rhetoric - that trans men aren’t actually transgender, they are just bitter women gender traitors who want the institutional power of Men™ so they can oppress the women that actually matter (trans inclusive this time)

If we want to be humored as Good Men, then we just gotta do what was expected of us when we were raised as little girls and keep silent or we have to be benevolent sexist white knights who defend women who actually matter without any reciprocal support, protection or solidarity

Another type of Catch 22 trans people in general are caught in

"and yet theyre offended when you call them shrill and histrionic"

does this person think its okay to call women that or smth?

bhaalblessed

no you don't understand i HAVE to be violently transphobic to random men & boys on the internet. for praxis

sex-favorable-aces

did we all collectively forget that "aspec" includes more than "asexual and aromantic that experience zero attraction ever and are sex/romance repulsed", or was it intentional?

anyway, I see you demi-, grey-a, abro-, -flux, and -spike aspecs. you're part of the community, too.

From what I can tell this is the standard level of sexual dimorphism for booktok romance couples

taraxippos

Most interesting thing about this post is people tagging it as like ‘straight people version of yaoi size dynamics’ like. Let’s all stop and think for a second where the “penetrative sexual partner is large, dominant, and masculine; the penetrated sexual partner is small, submissive, and feminine” thing (and the presumption of these roles being a necessity and immutable) might also come from.

taraxippos

And now it's "more tall bottoms!" "let the tiny girl PEG the man" let us instead continue this thought exercise and examine why we presume that a sexual relationship must be defined around a penetrator/penetrated dynamic, or that there must by necessity be "A top" or "A bottom" and that these roles cannot be fluid, or that penetrative sex is a necessity in a relationship to begin with, or that penetration is an act of dominance and humiliation and by extension it's a Subversive Feminist Win for the Bigger and/or Masculine party to receive, or that these misogynistic-homophobic ideals can be meaningfully addressed by simply Reversing the dynamic. My final message........goodbye..........

"But what if people will pretend to need this accessibility option so they can be lazy! People who don't need it will use it!!" I don't actually care

I dont care if 9/10 of the people who use the wheelchair ramp arent actually in wheelchairs. As long as the 1 person who needs it has access to it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who use the automatic push button on the library door can actually push the door open themselves. As long as the 1 person who the door is too heavy for gets to use it.

I dont care if 9/10 people who buy the can tab opener, or the little guitar clamp that holds the chords for you, or the hand grip that helps you hold chop sticks, don't need any of it and just get it to "be lazy". As long as the one disabled person who needs it gets access to it.

I do not care. Oh my GOD I do not care. As long as there's a disabled person on this planet who the accessibility device will benefit, the accessibility device is necessary.

Also, if you're so worried about people being "lazy" by using accessibility devices, MORE worried than you are about disabled (visibly or not) people not having access to them, you have unchecked ableism you need to work through.

#suffering is not a virtue and abled people deserve comfort and ease too

Ya'll remember how online games made specifically for children were programmed in a way that made it practically impossible to share your personal info?

When age, gender, location was censured like profanity in the name of protecting kids?

But suddenly the Only Way to keep children safe online is to make sure that they have 0 privacy?

Yeah ok. Sure. For the children.

this-is-transandrophobia

had to block a popular blog we like cuz they reblogged someone unironically saying the trans community was oppressed by “transandrobros” 🫩

sometimes it feels like almost every popular blogger is seconds away from turning on trans guys/mascs (probably exaggerating but we’re so tired of this shit)

This is transandrophobia
