There's something very insidious about how trans men are told by cis allies how they're "allowed to be feminine", almost as if they don't want us to be too masculine, and how this doesn't.... happen for trans women.

Like, trans women aren't told by allies that if they're masculine, it's okay. That trans women who are butch, who have love for things that are considered "traditionally masculine", are fucking women, too, and it doesn't make them any less women.

Why is that? 🤔 Hmm, I wonder why cis people's alliance only works to further trans people into hyperfeminization, which is considered by radfems to be a "safe gender" HMMMMMMM I WONDER -

Anyway, trans butch women are the fucking backbone of society and if you feel "uncomfortable" with them because they don't adhere to the hyper feminine standards that yall have imposed on trans women in order to exist, I'll make damn sure your "uncomfortable" fucking sitting down.

lol this rules, some dude down in Alabama is waging a one man war against "wake boats" by drilling holes in them. Locals have dubbed him "no wake Jake" and almost fifty of them have formed a committee urging him to run for sheriff. Oh yeah, and he dresses like this while he's sneaking around sinking boats.

You don't need dysphoria in order to be trans.

Why?

Because you can be trans by having gender euphoria or gender incongruence.

Gender euphoria means that a person gets a euphoric feeling from thinking about their gender identity.

Gender incongruence means that you feel like your AGAB does not fit your gender identity, with or without dysphoria or euphoria. It just means it's different. There doesn't have to be an emotion attached to it.

So, there are many ways someone can be trans. And pretending that being trans is only pain and hell and suffering is a really bad fucking take. Gender euphoria is real and you can have it. You are not doomed to live a life hating yourself.

Latinx? Latino/a? Hispanic?

What’s the difference between Hispanic, Latino, Latinx and Latine?

People often want to know which term — Hispanic, Latino or Latinx — is the most respectful. But it really depends on the person and context.

“Hispanic” refers to any of the peoples in the Americas and Spain who speak Spanish or are descended from Spanish-speaking communities. It was coined in the 1970s by the U.S. Census Bureau to offer a pan-ethnic name for peoples such as Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, Cuban Americans and others, whose social, economic and political needs were often ignored.

According to UC Berkeley's Cristina Mora, before the term “Hispanic” was adopted, the census enumerators would often check off people such as Mexican Americans as “White” on the census forms.

In contrast to Hispanic, the term Latino describes any person with ancestry in Latin America, a politically defined region usually unified by the predominance of Romance languages. This definition usually includes Portuguese-speaking Brazil and French-speaking Haiti, but excludes Spain.

But what about Latinx??

For some, the pronunciation of the word is cryptic: la-TEENGKS? LA-tin-EX? For others, it represents a kind of language imperialism by imposing a new English word onto a Spanish word and rendering it unpronounceable.

Latinx is essentially a non-binary form of Latino or Latina. The suffix “-x” replaces the “-o” or “-a” corresponding to masculine or feminine, allowing the word to resist the gender binary. (In Spanish-speaking countries, the term Latine with the suffix “-e” is circulating as an alternative to the -o/a binary.)

As we turn the corner into the month of Hanukkah, a reminder for the gentiles:

Hanukkah is NOT “Jewish Christmas!”

No. No no no.

1) Christmas is one of the two most theologically important holidays in Christianity. Hanukkah doesn’t even crack the top ten, at least theologically speaking, in Judaism. (I would not, of course, denigrate those for whom Hanukkah is an important point of connection to Judaism, as that’s a different conversation.)

2) Christmas celebrates the miraculous birth of the Christian deity (at least into one of the deity’s three component parts) on Earth. Hanukkah celebrates a military victory by observant, unassimilated Jews over the Assyrian Greeks and assimilated Jews and the reinstatement of a Jewish monarchy. 

Birth vs Lots of Death (albeit of the Hasmoneans’ enemies).

3) For a very long time, Christmas has included the giving of gifts (though the form varied of course between times and cultures). Hanukkah didn’t, for much of its existence, beyond the provision of gelt (that is, money) to children. Many American and westernized Jews give gifts to their children these days, but that was largely borne out of making Hanukkah more appealing to make celebrating Christmas less appealing and even now it is far from universal.

4) Christians cannot work on Christmas (unsurprisingly, given its importance as a holiday). Jews can work on Hanukkah (though they may leave early to light the Hanukkiah).

4a) Side note: Hanukkiah is the specific name for the candelabraum we use for Hanukkah (9 branches). Menorah translates to “lamp” and traditionally has seven branches but need not, necessarily. All Hanukkiyot are menorot, not all menorot are Hanukkiyot.

Now, none of this means that we don’t love and enjoy Hanukkah. We do! Fried latkes and sufganiyot, dairy products, child-appropriate gambling, songs….what could be better? But it is very, very much not “Jewish Christmas”.
