We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.

girls yearn for popular media with a butch as a main character

need to beam this tweet directly into everyone's minds right now

[glamfellens]

thinking about "a hundred years from now someone like me can love someone like you with no templars to tear us apart" for no apparent reason

[fandaniel]

having a multi year long character obsession becomes like a abstract thought experiment at some point

i’m never going to deny that transmascs and trans men experience transphobia and often misogyny based on agab. i am a trans man and have been out as such for years now. my family is transphobic and stifles my transition. i don’t pass and i am read as a woman 98% of the time unless i’m with people who know i’m trans. i do not experience the same male privilege as my cis twin brother because he is cis and i am trans. that is because of TRANSPHOBIA. but if i am put next to a trans woman who otherwise aligns with me on every axis of identity, i can move through TRANS spaces more easily because i am a MAN and she is a WOMAN. that is because of MISOGYNY. this is like the easiest lowest-level least-nuanced explanation of TRANSMISOGYNY. if we were both perceived as how we identify, i would not be read as a woman like i am because of presentation and agab, and she would. there is much more to it wrt transphobia and transmisogyny imposed by a cis-centric society, nonbinary and intersex identities, and intersectionality with axes of race religion disability etc. but that is the simplest 101 i can think of.

the structure of misogyny translates onto dynamics between men and women within the trans community just as it does within any other marginalized community. trans men are men and trans women are women and thus the relationships between men and women persist, and i don’t know why that has become so difficult for so many people to understand. i would actually much rather not be identified by the misogyny i experience on the basis of agab and not passing, because i am not a woman and feel no connection to womanhood, and i do consider it transphobic whenever i see people say that trans men are afab before they are men. maybe some transmascs identify with the gender they are ASSUMED to be by OTHERS before they identify with the gender that they ARE, but that’s their prerogative i guess. it is not mine.

Update.

[innerchildabortionclinic]

wish online communities discussing autism in women weren't like, doing their best to contribute to the false perception there's a distinct Autism For Boys and Autism For Girls, when the whole time it's just social enforcement of gender roles influencing behavior

re: my recently finished bg3 playthrough (actual end game spoilers under the cut in case people still care about those)

as someone who pushed back on the emperor the entire time, it was SOOOOOOO satisfying to hear the brain say "yeah lol he was our pawn. we let him do all that so he would bring you to us. crazy right??"

like. i would've given anything for a "NO SHIT??" dialogue option here. i didn't distrust you solely because you were a mindflayer, i distrusted you even back when you were the "dream guardian" because you wanted me to eat all these tadpoles and gain crazy powers. is that not just getting closer and closer to ceremorphosis myself???

*guy who didn't eat a single tadpole voice* of course i think i'm better than you

anyway i wish i hadn't completely overhauled my mod list because i really want to just redo the House of Hope fight over and over again

[wardencommander-surana]
