DON'T PUT YOUR TRIGGERS AND/OR PHOBIAS IN YOUR WEBSITES/PINNED POSTS/BIOS/ETC. FOR EVERYONE ON THE INTERNET

Reductress really taking no prisoners today

people often talk about "transfem hypervisibility and transmasc erasure" as if these are some equal but opposite forces, but this doesn't account for how transfem hypervisibility is a form of erasure all of its own.

when news panels have debates on trans women's inclusion in sports or bathrooms or society as a whole with no trans women present, that is erasure.

when cis men are hired to play trans women, that is erasure.

when every "family friendly" movie or sitcom you watch growing up has a hateful joke at trans women's expense, from Friends to fucking Shrek, that is erasure.

when the trans panel or trans anthology doesnt feature a single trans woman, that is erasure.

when people justify our exclusion because "trans women are already talked about enough, when is it our turn?" that is erasure.

erasure is not only "not being talked about." erasure is also being talked over, excluded from discussions about your own lived experience. when you meet someone who has never heard of someome like you, you get to introduce yourself, you have influence over how they see people like you. when you meet someone who has heard all about you, but never from anyone like you, when they only know you from mean spirited jokes, from porn, from politicians calling you a pedophile, well, the trans violence statistics speak for themselves.

it’s so hard and weird being pro para and anti transid because you’ll get lumped under “radqueer”

like how tf are “kinksters should be allowed to exist and people with paraphilic disorders should face less stigma so they can get the help they need” and “it’s okay to identify as another race” the same opinion 😭😭😭😭😭

i believe in the inherent goodness of people

you should be able to go to a hospital and go hello I am an addict and they give you your substance of choice for the day .

Mad about politics again

You can separate the art from the artist, but you cannot separate the artist from that art's profit.

Such a great, revealing peek into the transmisogynist’s mindset

For anyone who needs to hear it, being racist does not require racist intentions. "They can't be racist because they just didn't know any better!" just... isn't how it works.

The whole race change/ethnicity change thing going on in subliminal/reality shifting/manifestation communities is racist, because it's about fetishizing and appropriating from another (often marginalized) group.

Obviously, don't dogpile children involved in this with hate, because kids generally lack the context to understand how and why these things are a problem. That said - kids do need to be educated about racism in a calm and compassionate manner, because they are still absolutely capable of perpetuating it whether they mean to or not.
