The media blackout on Palestine coinciding with new bomb types dropped in a ceasefire tells its own story.

Nothing says "ceasefire" like a Thermobaric bomb. I guess "ceasefire" means something else down there than here... What pigs. They saw it as too hot and the temperature is too high, so they bombard us with heat generators. Damn them. If we don't save my father, he'll die

[wolf-aid]

I'm getting so good at electrolysis. Over 375 insertions, on 369 hairs, over one hour and 10 minutes. I made 6 mistakes(5 times I poked through skin on accident, once I pulled an untreated hair, and then treated the follicle afterwards.) And the patient in question had been drinking a few days prior, so it was inevitable I would jab them some way. I'm good at this shit now!

[mousidy]

when people treat trans women's breasts as if they aren't real breasts and when they treat our vaginas as if they aren't real vaginas they are contributing to the idea that when we are raped it isn't really rape

WHEN THE MODERN FRAMEWORK OF GENDER, SEX, AND SEXUALITY WAS LITERALLY BORN OUT OF 19TH CENTURY RACE SCIENCE YOU CANNOT DISCUSS FEMINISM OF ANY KIND WITHOUT HAVING TO FIRST DISCUSS THE RACIALIZATION OF GENDER ASSIGNMENT/PERCEPTION

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

like i cannot stress enough that when "man" and "woman" got codified "scientifically" in the 1800s as intrinsically seperate categories within western society THEY EXPLICITLY STATED BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE WERE TOO PRIMITIVE TO DEVELOP THIS DISTINCTION. WE WERE QUITE LITERALLY SEEN AS A THIRD UNDIFFERENTIATED CATEGORY BELOW (WHITE) MEN AND WOMEN.

[spiderbitesandvampirevenom]

Like you CANNOT divorce gender as a construct from race as it was literally born out of the social construct of race. Black/Brown Trans Woman and White Trans Woman are, for all intents and purposes, discrete gender identities historically speaking. And the worst part is that this way that both Black/Brown women of ANY gender have had to fight to be recognized as people - much less women - should be a point of solidarity between white trans women and black/brown women. but every time we try to have this discussion it turns into a fucking flamewar bc of white fragility

South American Feminist Maria Lugones discusses this in The Coloniality of Gender.

[twistedironpaw]

Read Envisioning African Intersex!!! It's the best history of gender and sex I have ever seen.

[twistedironpaw]

I'm so sad!!! I want to be held and comforted! There are so many aspects of my life I now don't have anyone to talk to about.

It wasn't okay what I went through, but how am I supposed to believe it if those words are coming from someone who doesn't know what I went through.

Everyone's lives are different. Nobody went through this exactly. But every intersex person I know went through a version of this. I need someone to tell me that they know. That it can get better. That I'll be okay.

I miss brooke. I miss what they did for me. But also I just miss it. She deserved to live more than amyone.

Every time I read a book on abolition i sit here like “damn what people do to transfemmes really is just a direct reproduction of the carceral state as a subset of white supremacy and the liberation of transfemmes is directly tied to abolitionism”

“In the late 1600s, officials there legally mandated that every white man between sixteen and sixty join the militia, and legally empowered every white person to arrest, punish, and return runaways. White civilians were not only encouraged to monitor and control Black people, but were *required* to do so—sometimes under the threat of being fined. The government criminalized people for *not* policing.”

—Derecka Purnell, Becoming Abolitionists

Directly compare this to the current culture in predominantly US American spaces of constant surveillance of transfemmes to punish us the moment we slip up, once we prove we aren’t “one of the good ones”. It’s a direct evolution of this same colonial expectation to the point it’s done “naturally” even when not directly expected after generations of it being part of the US’s social contract.

Trans women ain’t gettin free as long as we live in a carcerally focused society, and the liberation of trans women ain’t happening without accompanied racial—especially Black—liberation and abolishment of slavery, including prisons and other carceral locales.

"Every intersex/nonbinary person on tumblr is marked red"

Hi! Its me, the afab bigender intersex person from all of your strawman posts. You know, the one whos intersex condition left him with no uterus, little to no estrogen, and a short but ultimately decided argument between healthcare workers wrt my initial sex assignment. The one whos androgynous traits came in early and more often in the "both" than the "neither". The one perisex transmascs often try to push out of your communities, becausr you think i 'should count' as a trans woman because you tried to take womanhood from me, ring a bell? Download shinigami eyes. Note my name. I got that by not being a shithead and talking about intersexism in a way that acknowledged tma intersex people exist and i am not one of them

The reason rhat so many intersex tme people are marked red is because there is a culture of transmisogyny within intersex tumblr that has gone totally unaddressed by thr community

[closet-keys]

this is what I mean about how right now in the united states (won't speak for elsewhere but feel free to lmk in the notes if you'd like) a lot of us trans adults who are able to access transition care can only do so at the direct expense of trans minors. this clinic would not have opened if they held the line and offered equal access to healthcare to trans minors.

"Martin announced the direct-care clinic, calling it “one of the first times a public health department has ever taken that step.” But when Cabán pushed back, pointing out that trans youth are the ones most under attack right now—noting that there are “almost no providers” left for youth the entire city—Martin indicated the clinic would not serve youth, citing the need to “strike a balance” between providing care and avoiding “clawbacks from the federal government.” This morning, EITM can directly confirm that the age cutoff is 19—matching the Trump administration’s executive order threshold, not the standard legal age of adulthood in New York."

a lot of the structural transphobia we are experiencing is hitting minors even worse. their care gets banned first. if you want a preview of what access to healthcare will look like for us trans adults in 2 years, look at what access looks like for legal minors right now.

please have the compassion to show them solidarity now. do for them what you hope a cis person will do for us. like at the very least, talk about it.

Tops can be sexually assaulted too, without being penetrated even.

[storyweavingspider]

Like outside of the times I’ve been coercively raped, I’ve had people tell me I couldn’t possibly be the victim in a situation, implicitly because I’m large and a top and the woman who SA’d me that specific time was petite and a bottom.

Even when I was “cis” I had an incident where my gf at the time, a drunk cis white woman, literally spent an hour trying to pin me down and rip off my clothes to fuck me as I was trying to care for her, despite repeated refusals. It reached the point I had to leave the room after escaping her and hold the door shut until she gave up, and any time I mentioned it to others back then the concern was not her trying to sexually assault me, but that if she had succeeded I’d have been at fault for being a Black “man” having sex with a drunk white woman.

Iunno just. Thinking about this and it’s frustrating.

[faroenyx]

yeah its so common for tops to be assumed to have all the agency in every given situation. it fucking sucks that to have your trauma just straight up denied because 'tops cant be assaulted, silly', as though doing the penetrating is the only possible way that something like that can occur.

its high key definitely giving the same energy as folks who obsess over girls dicks as the 'rape organ' as an excuse to push them out of spaces they rightfully belong in. and if i were to bet, theres definitely a fuckton of overlap between the people that make both of those claims.

[twistedironpaw]

In bed! Crying! Thinking about Brooke! I miss them so much. I just want to hug them again. I want things to be okay. I want to be fine. I'm not fine. I miss being okay. I miss having a good reason to be okay. I hope I didn't fuck up things between her mom and I.

They wanted a lineart drawing of their cyborg character playing an electric cello. I don’t usually draw instruments so this was a really fun challenge for me!
