This is a very good point because I have had several trans women mention to me times their TME exes and peers have weaponised transmisogyny in this manner to either control them or punish them for a percieved slight.

She gave me permission to share her content, btw! I will be trying my best to transcribe it as well.

Important additions.

Something something too often I have to defend someone I think is annoying from someone I know is dangerous.

I'm really gonna need people who claim to care about gender inclusion on sports to stop saying "trans people" or "trans kids" when they mean trans women and girls.

Just for example before anyone gets annoying about this:

These are direct from the WKF (world karate federation) "Transgender Rules" document.

Here are there requirements for trans men to compete in men's divisions:

Obviously annoying but basically they're asking for a doctor's note that says go for it and that's it.

In contrast, these are the rules for trans women:

(yes it spans 2 pages) They are demanding that any trans woman who ever wants to compete at any level have transitioned hormonally before the age of TWELVE. They're looking for invasive information about someone's puberty stages (which if any girl was able to transition that young, what are the odds she can prove it??). They require regular testosterone testing and require you to be at a level under that of some cis women FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. This policy clearly is designed to make sure that trans women will never be able to compete in women's divisions; these standards are simply unrealistic and absurd. And I didn't even include all the rhetorical justifications earlier in the document about all the biological advantages "males" supposedly have.

By the way, this doesn't only apply to the sparring competition (which is "skin contact" not full contact fighting), but also to the kata (forms) competition which is entirely non-contact and truly has no need to be gender divided in the first place. And this isn't even a professional league—it's all amateur except for an handful of people with sponsorships. It's not even an Olympic sport except for once in 2021.

If you truly cannot see a disparity here or you feel like justifying this in any possible way then you are not an ally to trans women and you don't actually believe in gender inclusive sports. This is what structural transmisogyny looks like, and this is why we need to be fighting specifically for trans women and girls and not just "trans people" generally.

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

Ronald Wimberly's comic essay, Lighten Up, stays evergreen

So turns out the US are setting babies up for a lifetime of illness and increased likelihood of liver cancer in Guinea Bissau in the name of “research”

7000 newborns will be denied the neoneatal HepB vaccine until 6 weeks to ‘prove’ that the HepB vaccine is linked to neurodevelopmental disability on the directions of the Department of Health vis RFK Jr and in collaboration with researchers in Denmark, despite the fact that the vaccine’s efficacy rate and best protection is when administered to newborns, and the total lack of correlation between vaccination and neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Guinea Bissau has some of the highest rates of HepB on the continent, and infants are the group at the highest risk of contracting HepB, leading to chronic hepatitis & long term hepatic diseases like cirrhosis and liver failure as well as increased chance of liver cancer.

The study can’t be carried out in the US or Denmark because it fails almost every benchmark for medical ethics — surprising absolutely nobody, it is in fact heinously unethical to expose babies to preventable disease that causes liver failure and liver cancer, but the “study” has been green lit in Guinea.

Fuck the US imperial project in Africa, fuck RFK Jr and the US Department of Health, and fuck every single collaborative researcher in Denmark. This is some nightmare Tuskegee Study shit and every single individual involved deserves to be in The Hague.

my hot take is you should care about russophobia even when it only and solely effect russian.

“russophobia is bad, to explain why i need be russophobic for a sec”

my progressive liberal website where in order to get people to care about the shit that gets russians de facto segregated in some countries, killed in others, harrassed, dehumanised, attacked ect. i have to explain how this could also badly effect someone mistaken for a russian

liberals need to be told that bigotry can maybe affect real people before they stop harassing vulnerable minorities because we're just representations of The Enemy. russophobia might hurt ukranians. transphobia might hurt cis people. misogyny might hurt men. it's all completely fine as long as it only hurts undesirables

why can rockstar games institutionalise you for life like nikita kruschev for being autistic

He didn't steal 10 million dollars. They made that number up as a loss, they never fucking had it. Rockstar has spent more than a billion fucking dollars on GTA VI and will likely make billions more when it gets released.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Capitalism is disgusting.

Nobody should buy GTA til they free Arion Kurtaj

he didn't even get to stand *trial*. because he's autistic. he's in an institution for life for hacking while autistic, without trial.

hey yall remember this

speaking of wikipedia, I was reading about the vietnam war recently, and I was appalled to find out how much weight wikipedia gives to usamerican perspectives of the war. I specifically wanted to know about the aftermath of the war and what life was like for the people living in vietnam, but wikipedia had very little to say on that matter. in the aftermath section of the vietnam war article, wikipedia contains only a few paragraphs, which are mostly spent fearmongering about the re-education camps where the vietnamese government sent the southern military officers and collaborators who fought on the side of the imperialists that ravaged the country for decades

even when wikipedia isn't proliferating red scare propaganda, they're still centering usamerican perspectives. take this sentence, for example:

why is there any mention at all of how agent orange affected the us crews that handled the substance? does this matter? the usamericans that were handling agent orange were the ones who were using it to poison the landscape of vietnam. these chemicals have caused severe health problems for millions of people in vietnam for decades after the war. why should anyone care that the imperialist colonizers of the usa who caused this health crisis also faced consequences? they went home to the usa, where they no longer had to live with these chemicals in the environment, and they had access to robust healthcare infrastructure that wasn't in ruins from being bombed for decades. cry me a fucking river

wikipedia's "neutrality" is explicitly imperialist. don't forget that

A reminder that anyone who came into contact with agent orange at any point in their lives have increased chances of having children born with birth defects or increased odds of cancer, this includes babies that were born in the last year it was dropped on vietnam, who turned 54 in 2025. There are still children being born here today that are suffering from the effects of agent orange.

This is how wikipedia describes the situation.

Unforgivably biased language. "The U.S government has documented" vs "The government of Vietnam says". "The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identified" vs "The Vietnamese Red Cross estimates". Not to mention the final sentence to drill the nail in the coffin.

"those evil fucking baeddel trannies are terfs, because they hate men"

okay so we're just saying the opposite of what things mean now. okay

terfs do not hate "men". they have never once made their main target to be men. their main target, the one group of people who they dedicate all their time and effort into eradicating from the fucking planet, is trans women.

but you're stupid enough to not only believe them when they say "i hate men", but you won't even acknowledge that we are being targeted by transmisogyny

yes, they will go after trans men and trans mascs, calling them "gender confused dysphoric women" or whatever. and thats incredibly horrible and transphobic.

they actively want me dead!

you are a side project. they have the semi tangential goal of making you detransition, but they'll happily work alongside you and convince you that the troons are the enemies you need to be fighting and not your fucking sisters

you're a useful idiot to them

if you have ever called a trans woman a "terf" or a "radfem", you are a danger to trans women, transfeminism, and the entire trans community as a whole.

Basically, it boils down to this:

What all this adds up to is that even leaving the moral dimension of the act aside, from a purely pragmatic perspective, reblogging that callout post accusing a random trans woman you've never heard of of being a dogfucker or what-have-you is an action which, in a worst-case scenario, will contribute to ruining an innocent person's life, and in a best-case scenario, is likely to accomplish nothing whatsoever.

Folks often justify reblogging callout posts without performing due diligence under the rubric of "better safe than sorry", but any realistic assessment of the likely outcomes will tell you that the true "better safe than sorry" course of action is to keep your damn mouth shut!

"But I thought we were supposed to always believe allegations of sexual misconduct" well, the thing is, "false allegations of sexual misconduct are rare" and "false allegations of sexual misconduct disproportionately target specific visible minorities" are both true statements. There's no algorithm for being a good person – you really do have to think this shit through every single time it comes up.

can we please acknowledge that tma/tme is a meaningful distinction? a justice of the US supreme court is openly saying that it's legal to discriminate against trans women because the same laws do not target trans men. the transmisogyny is what makes it permissible. your transphobia is fine as long as it has carveouts for men.

Fascinating parallel here. This incapacity of the legal framework to protect groups who are at the intersection of two protected groups (trans women in this case, black women in the original) even while protecting both groups individually is Crenshaw's original reason for coining the word "intersectionality", which has since gone through the wringer.

Transfeminism isnt niche internet discourse if the FBI is telling a transfeminist author to stop publishing

This post keeps coming across my dash and idk how to tell u guys but if you’re looking up literally anything on Wikipedia where reality contradicts the imperialist narrative, you’ll find that the power of CIA-affiliated NGO Hitlerism to create easily disprovable disinformation far outweighs the capacity of fully-weaponized autistic pedantry to keep the information on that site reliable.

also can people stop painting autism as the genius disability like not everyone who learns a shit load about a topic is autistic not every autistic person is smart stop bringing this starchild rainman shit back

Wikipedia's definition of impartiality is "Democrats and Republicans would both agree with the given statement"

I’m not going to stop talking about how often transmascs rape and beat up transfems until it stops happening. The fact that even talking about this makes anybody upset is a testimony to the fact that they wish they could rape transfems without consequence. Well you can’t any more. Boo fucking hoo. Grow some humanity and get over it.

ok, but like… why did you just “assume” that? why did you assume that being trans just magically vanishes all of the social conditions that makes men more likely to sexual assault/abuse women than the other way around? don’t you think that this reveals a bias about the way you see trans people?

trans men are more likely to abuse trans women than the other way around for the same reason any men are more likely to abuse any women than the other way around: they have more relatively privilege over us. We live in a patriarchal world, and part of the way that is enforced is by rewarding men who are misogynistic (which is considered powerful and masculine) and punishing men who stand up for women/are feminists (which is considered weak and feminine). Trans men are obviously still oppressed for being trans — they don’t have the same relative privilege as a cis man — but in some ways they have even higher punishment/rewards for engaging/not engaging in patriarchy & misogyny.

This brings us to the second part — most people abuse other people out of opportunity rather than desire. A relatively more privileged person is more likely to get away with abuse without consequence than a more marginalised person. This is one of primary ways both individual and institutional racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia etc is enforced; the more marginalised as seen as less trustworthy, more likely to “deserve” something bad that has happened to them. Transmascs experience this from cis people, but they still have relative privilege above transfems, because masculinity and maleness is nigh universally better, more powerful, more rational, worthy of respect & more admirable to aspire to than femininity & femaleness.

I guess I've made my point well enough but at times like these what I remember is the Iraq war, specifically that while what is emphasized so often is the brutality of it and how it was waged just for oil, but I think portraying the US as this all-powerful, implacable bandit on the world stage is a form of usamerican propaganda in itself. Instead, what I think of are the results.

Did the US actually end up getting Iraq's oil? Well, not really. They planned to privatize the state oil company but the intensity of the insurgencies in the wake of the fall of the Baathist state immediately forced usamerican planners to contend with the political impossibility of such a thing. Did they change Iraq into a staunch usamerican ally? No. The US still maintains a presence in the country by force but they're hated throughout the political spectrum and at most tolerated on a temporary basis. By contrast the country who gained the most geopolitically from the usamerican war on Iraq was, in fact, Iran.

These people in their offices in Langely, they're capable of marshalling lots of resources, yes, they're good at dropping lots of bombs and killing lots of people, yes, but remember that they are not actually very good at actually winning and bending the world to their will, and they've arguably been getting worse at it every year since the 80s, or even from their retreat in disgrace from Vietnam. Mao wasn't kidding or showing a strong face when he said the imperialist powers were paper tigers. The US can be fought and beaten, and in fact it loses more often than it wins. You've Gotta get out of this defeatist frame of mind.

From Gaza to Venezuela, dem party supporters keep blaming US atrocities on everyone who didn't vote the democrats in. let's look at some imperialist aggression that's happened under democratic presidents
