the second a man of any variety (& yes this includes trans men) either becomes angry or guilt trips you for decentering men in your life & activism, you need to run from him. he is not your friend or your ally, he should be considered the active antifeminist he is. run. run away. of course men can be allies, but an actual ally understands his position & his privilege and uses this to help boost the voices of women (ESPECIALLY woc, trans women, disabled women, etc), NOT to drown them out with his tears because you pointed his privilege out to him. when he cries "what about men of marginalized groups", he ignores that those men still hold power over the women in the very same marginalized groups. this was always a manipulation tactic and you must learn to run when you see it.
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.
They don't even ask the men for a doctor's note, from the way it reads. They just want a letter saying "Yes I am a man" written in the format they accept it, signed by the trans guy himself.
Vs complete surveillance of transfems, mandatory blood testing wherever you may be at least 4x a year, and a complete medical history they will reject you for if it is not an inconceivably lucky one.
the floating head of wisdom
Please don't fall victim to internet misinformation. There is no floating head. It's a regular horse, it's neck is just hidden due to the position of the camera. I made an image to help you understand the what's actually going on.
Thank you for the clarification
woke up this morning, rolled over, and very confidently tried to blow out my alarm clock like a candle. absolutely no precedent for that.
Ebeneezer in 1742 wakes with a start as for some reason he has put out his guttering candle by slapping atop it ith the palm of his hand. His hand is burned and his nightgown and cap are spattered with hot wax.

I don't usually like stupid slogans like "ABOLISH X" but I think that we should take a harsher stance against advertising in general given that virtually the entire world is now run by advertising companies
I don't know what a post-commerce society will look like, but I know that having massive surveillance networks that gather every single detail about your personal life to sell to third actors for profit, accumulate trillions in revenue and often promote far-right propaganda are not the kind of society I want to live under.
I don't think an evil socialist regime should arrest you for printing flyers for your D&D night or whatever (one of the many many 'what if the world was made of pudding' scenarios I've seen when I talk about ending advertising) but I do not think that advertising as an industry should exist.
Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?
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.
an extra edition, worse though someone changed it to being "mistakenly used" for the exact same thing it describes at some point. i
