Laws being written: we are going to start dropping rocks on biological women if they wear pants and on anyone with a penis if they wear a dress
Leftists on Tumblr dot org: this could only be talking about trans women. It doesn't say men anywhere in that text. If they were targeting trans men, the government that thinks all trans people are delusional pedophiles would SAY trans men. Now stop donating to trans charities they dont help because I said so.
Hello to goths and idiots only
You want gay marriage?
Land Back.
You want trans rights?
You want environmental protections?
You want an end to the imperialistic systems of money worshipping capitalism and hetero-patriarchy that privilege white, cis, able bodied, perisex heterosexual men at the expense of everyone, and everything, else?
Shit's been going downhill since 1492
I hate that as Indigenous people, we have to slowly explain the concept of LandBack to basically every colonizer.
Like no we're not going to just throw you out, or put you in camps, or any of that shit. We just want to be able to take care of our ancestral land and be the ones in charge of protecting it.
Like I know these people were raised with a colonial mindset but after a while I just start to lose sympathy.
Like oh you're worried about having your home violently ripped out from under you?? What a fucking tragedy.
“I didn’t like that intersex person/trans masc and what they were saying, so I aggressively called them a cis woman over and over until they left in tears” that’s called misgendering and bigotry actually and you should be deeply ashamed of yourself . what the fuck is wrong with you
@ missionaries and christian charities everywhere: charity that forces religious conversion or religious obligation to access (potentially life-saving) services is not charity. if there are strings attached, especially religious ones, all you've done is create a high-control trap for the most vulnerable
Has anyone else seen those videos of gender affirming surgeons “rating” trans people’s femininity/masculinity? Like they’ll stitch a video of a trans person documenting their transition and the surgeon will be like “Their face has perfectly feminized/masculinized” or “Even after the effects of hrt, their face is still masc/fem so I may reccomend getting facial feminization/masculinization surgery to really seal it”. And every time I see one of these I can’t think anything other than wait what???? Not only are you giving extremely unnecessary advice, but openly posting whether they are “passing” enough for you? Also just the assumption that all trans people want to be strictly masc and fem? That those are the only two options and that trans men/transmascs must be the epitome of masculine and transfems/ trans women must be the epitome of femininity? And it’s not like them stitching or reacting to their clients either, from what I’ve seen it’s mostly just random trans people who did not ask for this.
It feels like they are just looking at trans people like specimens to fix and perfect and force them into their neat little boxes on what they consider is a “complete medical transition” and “complete masculinity/femininity”. In the videos they act like they are the deciders of what is considered a masculine or feminine “look”. They always go out of their way to say how much of a trans ally they are and how they are helping trans people out too.
Also, never seen one about androgynous medical transitions. I have however seen them try to frame nonbinary people as trans men and trans women and force femininity/masculinity on them through “advice”.
Just because you work in trans healthcare and call yourself an “ally” doesn’t mean you are. Especially if you do shit like this. You don’t get a pass just because of your job.
being a man or being masculine is inherently neutral
being a woman or being feminine is inherently neutral
dont play into any narrative that frames men/masculinity as inherently bad and women/femininity as inherently good, this is radfem rhetoric
dont play into any narrative that frames men/masculinity as inherently good and women/femininity as inherently bad, this is religious extremism
Friendly reminder that Queer is not just feminine, but also masculine, sometimes both and sometimes neither.
But anyway, people seem to reached the wrong conclusion that Queer is "Women+", "GirlPower", "Female energy" and all that crap, which is...wrong. Is wrong, disrespectful and harmful.
Some of you ""transfeminists"" on here are white feminists I'm afraid, and borderline allergic to criticism.
Hey, maybe if you made a ""feminist take"" and everyone is drawing comparasions to radfem ideology it's time to self reflect.
NOTE: radfem=/=anti trans. That community has a FUCK TON of different harmful ideology. It is entirely possible to be trans, insanely pro-trans, and still hold radfem beliefs.
Also an important note: Transfeminist=/=transfem inherently. I am using the term transfeminist because that is what a large portion of what the people i see doing these things call themselves.
I've seen just as much other trans folk saying SWERF shit or femonationalist shit (for example..)
This is an issue within feminist communities as a whole and we need to do better as a community to make sure we are listening to each other to not fall down the same pitfalls.
“horror movies of the 1980s exist at the glorious watershed when special visual effects finally catch up with the gory imaginings of horror fans and movie makers. technical advances in special effects (animatronics, liquid and foam latex) meant the human frame could be distorted to grotesque new dimensions on screen. 1980s horror movies delivered the full colour close-up, look-no-strings-attached, special effect in a way that previous practitioners of the art could only dream about. everything lurking in the shadows in older horror movies was now dragged into the garish light of day. the monsters were finally out of the closet.”
This is literally so iconic
Aside from the compulsion to claim historical trans men as women for feminist history, I've also noticed attempts to neutralize trans men into non binary figures.
Of course, language surrounding non binary identities in the western world is relatively new, so someone from the 1800s might have had some long winded way of saying they were non binary.
But take the case of Megillus from Lucien's writings in Ancient Greece, who will say "I am entirely a man" and still have people being like, oh they're just a confused little girl product of restricted language. There is no way they really mean it when they say explicitly they are 100% a man. Obvious example of non-binary identity.
Obviously non binary people deserve to see themselves in history, but like...c'mon...
Just something I've noticed in my research into trans men of the past
made her look more like a greek orthodox saint
against my better judgment I'm becoming entranced by video essays that claim to be talking about really pervasive pressing issues that are everywhere 😱 that turn out to be about some shit you've never heard of in your life if you're not on tiktok or insta
Can someone start reposting the Horse Race Tests onto Tumblr? Everyone here will love it and I’m not dedicated enough to do it
When I say that transmasculine people, including, obviously, binary trans men, don't hold power over women, there's always ONE fucker who's like "oh yeah ? But what if it's a whit, able-bodied perisex transhet man who's papers are all changed, who cispasses and is totally stealth AND is a manager ??? What then ???"
And I'm like, you CAN'T be in good faith rn. I'm not saying this particular case doesn't exist but be for real, it must be one in a fucking million. And even in this case, the dude is one outing away from having all his privileges taken away from him, which isn't the case for cis white men.
Stop nitpicking. Transmasculine people don't hold power over women. Period. If you want a punching bag, aim at the people who are truly after your ass.
horror of 2024

someone called me "divisive" for pointing out someone's binary language in a transgender-specific post, so here's a reminder:
it's people putting humanity into two gender boxes doing the dividing, not nonbinary people wanting to be seen.
it's the people separating good valid transgender men and women worth fighting for from supposedly invalid nonbinary people who aren't even worth mentioning doing the dividing, not nonbinary people pointing out systemic exclusion.
it's those excluding nonbinary who are being divisive, not nonbinary people taking up space.
most of the time calling nonbinary people divisive is absolutely ridiculous.
Gang, I know it's so easy to dunk on RFK Jr's latest claims about autism by pointing to all the autistic people who are capable of the things he said we will never do, but I think the more important thing is to state unequivocally that autistic people who have 24/7 support needs in adulthood and genuinely never do those things have value and deserve to exist. Yes, autism is a spectrum that RFK Jr is oversimplifying to suit his narrative, but his narrative is that our autistic friends who struggle with those things shouldn't be like that, and that is the idea we need to push back on, more than whether you personally can write a poem or use a toilet unassisted

It’s sad that I even have to say this but please do not just say “Glad I never got diagnosed” and abandon the autistic community. Even though you are not put on the registry, you are still a part of the community and you can’t just “check out” because it will affect you either way. Even if hypothetically it somehow never affected you, just ignoring what is happening and potentially going to happen to autistic people is allowing fascism to continue. You know it’s eugenics, and standing by and watching them strip the privacy rights of people without doing anything, betraying your fellow autistics and allowing them to face eugenics while you do nothing for “comfort” will cause extreme harm. Staying silent is not being “neutral” or “staying out of it”, it’s death. We must stand with and fight with our diagnosed autistic siblings, especially those with high support needs. Now is not the time to ditch the community for “safety”, now is the time to fight.
One thing you can do right now is contact your representative and express your opposition for the registry and the taking of medical files from diagnosed autistics without their consent.
CONGRATS STANLEY!!!
