If you’re a USAmerican and rightfully horrified by what the government is doing right now, I just want to rq share 5calls. They have a really simple tool for finding your reps and contacting them, as well as a variety of scripts for anyone not confident speaking off book. Emails can be filtered out, phone calls, voicemails, and physical letters are much harder to ignore. Calling your reps isn’t the end all be all of anti-war action, but it’s a place to start while you process what the fuck just happened.
The most terrifying thing to me is the fact no one even cares that we are barreling towards a war built on lies yet again
Like in any reasonable world, everyone would see the strikes and the threats of ground forces as what they are, threats of war designed for a regime change to appease the anti-communists and oil corporations. And be reasonably outraged!
And we just bombed Carcas and kidnapped the president of Venezuela.
i still remember when i first started speaking more vocally on transmisogyny and against transandrophobia as a concept, some people told me to shut up and let trans women speak for themselves. Thing is, nobody fucking listened to when trans women said these same things, which is why i started saying them myself. when i pointed this out, every trans women ever was i guess just wrong about her lived experiences and her education on transmisogyny. So i read the fucking book that like every transfeminist regards as a pretty foundational text on the subject of transmisogyny that holds up extremely well for its age and then i saw the book being discredited for being "too old". no other reasons, of course. realistically, culture hasn't changed all that radically in the 20 years it came out. No other form of oppression has suddenly gone away, some nuances may have changed, but the world still hates fat people just as much as they did in 2007, why would transmisogyny have suddely shifted? anyways many of you just do not want trans women to speak, and you people fucking hate it when people actually listen to them and internalize what they have to say
How exactly are transandrophobia and transmisogyny all that different? This debate is so odd to me.
transandrophobia = a type of transphobia and misogyny targeted at trans men
transmisogyny = a type of transphobia and misogyny targeted at trans women.
Both are basically just transphobia in different forms. It's just a specific term under a larger umbrella of oppression. So how have you come to the conclusion that one is more valid than the other when fundamentally they serve the same purpose? How can you be against only one of them as a concept? It's the same shit different font
it is a very basic misunderstanding of feminism. like, misogyny, like transmisogyny, is not just "being mean to someone", it's a type of systemic violence. the world does not oppress men, and it doesn't oppress marginalized men for being men. for transandrophobia to make sense you would have to prove there is some systemic capacity for people to hurt men for being men (including cis men!).
transmisogyny is also not just "transphobia and misogyny", it's both at the same time, it's an intersection of the two. it's a much more specific type of oppression that targets a specific group. a trans man might experience transphobia in one interaction and misogyny in another, but not transmisogyny. the term transandrophobia, the way you describe it, betrays an inability to understand this. (you should probably read that book i linked in this post)
basically men and women are treated differently in society, and the world privileges men and oppresses women. transandrophobia is just a trans-friendly permutation of misandry that exists to silence conversation about transmisogyny, the same way misandry exists to shut feminists up about misogyny. it's the "what about men" of transfeminism. it's a poorly and inconsistently defined oppression that never points at anything that can't be better explained by transphobia. it's the reverse racism, it's an attempt to describe bigotry towards thin people. it's nonsense that does not belong in feminist discourse. it's the attempt to refute misogynoir by going "well black men are treated as aggressive and hypermasculine!" to describe androphobinoir, failing to understand that black women are also constantly treated like this.
anyways you should really read that book i linked
as a completely cis dude, I would press this button immediately, without question. There are a lot of things I would do for money, but shit I'd do this for like 20 bucks... maybe less?
She said with all too much confidence
A DAY!?!?!?
happy almost one year anniversary to arch-user having her realization in well under 24 hours
edit: i checked. it took 6 hours.
Well, yeah. She pressed the button.
i think its really kind of tragic that recent transgirl culture is clinging to kinks like dogs, dolls, robots, etc. because its a clear effect of being conditioned our whole lives that we are less than human and i think we have backpedaled into accepting that as long as it means someone will love us. we will tear off our limbs and strip ourselves of our dignity and lose all conscious thought if it means we fit the parameters of something worth loving. we will deny ourselves just to be loved unconditionally. on the other hand i also want to be loved unconditionally as a doll or dog or robot so idk
On the other hand I find it delightful that we took the absolute meat grinder that is our shared experience and turned it into something joyful
Awawa! :> 🌸
christmas eve what about christmas adam

happy christmas adam to all men’s rights activists

Please stop pestering us with things like this. This has nothing to do with men fighting for their rights. Eve is short for ‘evening’. Please don’t turn activism into a joke. Thanks.

Someone isn’t having a good christmas adam
Christmas Adam: December 23rd. Comes before Christmas Eve and is generally unsatisfying.
Happy Christmas Adam everyone
that one person who worked on "my life as a teenage robot" tweeting about the trans subtext of jenny being unintended but acknowledging that it exists regardless is somehow still outflanking every modern intentionally queer cartoon on how to handle people reading your characters as transfem when you didnt intend for that. this should be embarrassing for the modern queer cartoonists. we barely have meaningfully more intentionally transfem characters, and now the people who make the unintended ones react WORSE to that reading.
a 58 year old cis man saying its cool that people see his character as transfem should not be such a difficult bar to clear for people intentionally telling stories with queer characters. rob renzetti should not be running circles around you when he isnt even trying.

DON'T ASK YOURSELF "AM I A GOOD PERSON?" ASK YOURSELF "IS WHAT I AM DOING GOOD?" OR EVEN! "WHAT'S A GOOD THING I CAN DO RIGHT NOW?"
DON'T WORRY ABOUT JUDGING AND SORTING YOURSELF! JUST MAKE YOUR BEST CHOICES!!
Ok but pls actually do this people. There is no such thing as a good person. Stop trying to be one and starting trying to do good instead
