weird to see someone's fundraiser sent around when she was literally screaming in your friends' faces and getting physical with them
"it's suddenly today" you were told to stop escalating and abusing your partners?... and then you kept going?... so they felt less safe to give you more time?...
great reasons for accusing students of using AI:
you're racist and think there's no way racialized students could write an essay this good
you need to decrease your class average because it's the end of the semester and you haven't met your target average
one of your TAs gave out too many As and you don't want to regrade anything
you haven't redesigned your course in years and students have gotten advice on how to write their essay from past students
you're pissed off at a student with disability accommodations for making you do extra work
you want to feel powerful
you got into a fight with your wife
you want to bond with other professors over how lazy kids are these days and swap juicy stories about students crying in your office
you want social media clout
oh my god she keeps reblogging EVERY post that describes exactly what she was doing and darvoing it
weird to see someone's fundraiser sent around when she was literally screaming in your friends' faces and getting physical with them
TME = cis men, cis women, trans men, transmasculine nonbinary people.
TMA = trans women, transfeminine nonbinary people.
Both categories include women and nonbinary people
Both categories include people with penises, and people with vaginas, and people with ambiguous genitals.
Both categories include intersex people.
TME includes cis and trans men.
Anyone claiming this is a binary is being disingenuous or willfully ignorant, which is honestly the same thing.
This one's too good to leave in the notes:
This isn't an identity. Its a shorthand way of referring to who is subjected to transmisogyny and who is not. It's not something we are imposing on people, we're describing how this transmisogynistic society is imposing or nit imposing transmisogyny on people. It doesn't care if you don't identify with fem or masc, it only cares about what you were compulsarily assigned at birth. People who aren't transitioning away from being compulsorily assigned "male" at birth are simply not subject to transmisogyny by this society. If they are trans, they're still subjected to transphobia, but not transmisogyny.
The TMA/TME divide amongst enbies describes predominantly how two people, despite neither being femme or masc, are treated completely differently based on their assigned gender at birth.
Enbies who are TMA literally cannot attend the same events that enbies who are TME can, even if their presentation is functionally identical. They are banned in big bold letters on adverts, and if they're discovered, they get thrown out and called a rapist as the door slams shut behind them.
TMA enbies are never allowed to divorce themselves from their gender assignment in societies eyes, they're never allowed to "just" be enbies, take it from someone who presented as agender for many years. The only people who took that in good faith were one (1) TME and I was dating her. Everyone else treated me like an intruder while actively bending over backwards to accommodate TME enbies.

My introduction to transfeminism came when my coworkers who had been talking a big game of supporting "trans people" asked me after I came out to them "I know you said your pronouns are she/her, and your name is 'Kayla', but can I use they/them and call you 'Kay?' It's just more comfortable to me."
It came when my parents rejected me after my older sister outed me to them, but then accepted my trans brother with open arms.
It came when just a few weeks later a man in Stevensville Montana threw rocks at me while screaming bible verses.
I didn't learn about transmisogyny from Whipping Girl, I learned about it before I knew its name. I learned about it by being transmisogynized.
This is transfeminism!
Femboys aren’t real, you’re just mad you can’t call trans women traps anymore.
guy who thinks the goal of an argument is to humiliate the other person: -evil -pragmatist -regrettably correct
guy who thinks the goal of an argument is to facilitate reasoned discussion with an interlocutor: -doomed -hopelessly naïve -will be found dead in a back alley with two gunshot wounds to the back of the head but will depart straight to heaven on priority orders from the big man himself
guy who thinks the goal of an argument is to tally up your opponent's infractions in accordance with a book of empty rules you elected to bind yourself under: -a loathsome creature -never gonna make it -somehow even more doomed than the second guy
sighing deeply every time i see a girl awkwardly listing out its pronouns as "it/its and she/her" because i can guess what happened when they were just given out either as she/it or it/she. we need to start killing people
duckduckgo fuck yourself
trying to search for like the one thing that treats us like any other girl for once!! only to be met with a reminder that we are considered a porn category first. it makes me so very sad and upset.
By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.
We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.
Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.
Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!
if phrases like "afab bodies", "amab people", "afab healthcare" ever leave your mouth, you are at best being quite cissexist, and probably (due to the uneven nature of regendering/degendering) being grossly transmisogynist. stop believing in immutable binary sex and start using accurate language.
you have to be kinder to people with memory issues.
you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.
you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.
you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.
you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.
you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.
you have to be kind. you have to be kind.
the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.
You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it
you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.
Ya gotta learn to earnestly and honestly say "Oh shit, my bad."
And to then end the sentence there, not launch into a paragraph of explanation or panicked super-apology.
My most diagnosable take is that honestly. As much as people in social justicey spaces talk about exercising your empathy ... there's also value in being able to turn it off so you're not extremely susceptible to emotional manipulation. Sometimes you have to be able to recognize "oh, this is bullshit propaganda trying to tug at my heartstrings" and stop giving a fuck about like. Colonizer feelings or whatever. Vibes can't override your principles
Like idk being niceys is a good start but your politics can't begin and end with 🌈 kindness 🌈 or you're gonna get taken advantage of. The worst people on earth will be like "but what if........ I have a sob story about it 🥺" & you Need to be able to tell them to Fuck Completely Off
There's a certain strain of ... Everyone Is Valid 🌸 style pseudo leftism that ime invariably caters to whoever throws the biggest tantrum. And this is a Problem interpersonally & it's especially bad if you let these people dictate your opinions. Not everyone is valid some of you are racist
shrimp is a trans allegory because she is only being valued because of her abilities tof ry rice
Well hot damn if it wasn't enough for this loser to throw a public tantrum now he's going out of his way to follow predestrogen on other platforms and start harassing her there!!! You can't hide these Matt I got the screenshots lol!!!!!!
HE'S BLATANTLY LYING OUT OF HIS ASS!! SPREAD IT AROUND!! And also since she seems to be from Ireland even though I don't even know shit about eu laws from what little I do know this is a big violation of GDPR and should be reported as such!! https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/reform/rights-citizens/redress/what-should-i-do-if-i-think-my-personal-data-protection-rights-havent-been-respected_en
@photomatt should kill himself.
I genuinely hope this circulates forever.
the discourse on shaving and wearing makeup is starting again so i'll say one of the more subtle and consistent ways tme ppl have consistently fucked with me is by saying i'm not progressive for wanting to learn makeup and shave my legs lol
noooo don't transition that's so regressive haha. I'm progressive btw 🙂
cis women are not on the hook for normalizing unshaven legs or bare faces because their performances of femininity are thought of as natural and innate. they go unremarked upon
trans women's femininity is treated as contrived and artificial, so every little thing we do to perform it is thought of as a Choice, which means we are Choosing to uphold regressive beauty standards
we and cis women are both held to the standard that women are supposed to have bare legs, but we are thought of as being responsible for this standard, rather than being influenced and subjugated by it just like every other woman is
part of this comes from the idea that trans women are somehow immune to misogynistic standards. people seem to think that we won't face any consequence for not performing patriarchal standards of femininity, unlike ~real~ women, who are under ~real~ pressure to do these things. so the responsibility falls on us to normalize these things, because we are supposedly in the best position to do so
distressingly few people seem to have gotten it through their skulls that trans women are held to especially high standards of femininity, and the consequences for failing to perform it are especially bad
yes, we are punished for our femininity, but this does not mean we are rewarded for not achieving patriarchal femininity either. it's not either or. we are punished for both. there is not actually a win condition, trans womanhood is a double bind under patriarchy
