"There is a general public opinion that trans women can do no wrong" is a morbidly funny phrase to me because complete untruth aside these people want to call us men so so fucking bad and the lengths they will go through for this (utter denial of like. The real fucking world) are kind of pathetic.

What makes it even funnier is that you dont even have to do anything wrong to receive shit like this in your reblogs:

You just gotta have and voice an opinion. But sure yeah we can do no wrong in the public eye.

And once a trans woman says does something that is actually deemed wrong (<-the standards for which are wildly skewed also) that is grounds to harrass her for weeks and impersonate her to frame her as a child molester and accuse her of being a cultist and a fed and-

If she is racialised she will be accused of being a cis male white 4chanite also. We need to start killing

If you're a cis boy in 2026, I genuinely want you to ask yourself why. Why are you cisgender? Is this something you want to be, or something you feel you have to? This isn't a bit. I want you to think about that, about whether you're doing this because you genuinely want to or because you feel like you don't have a choice. And if you find it's the latter, I'm here for you.

do you WANT to be a man or are you only "okay" with being a man? are you "fine" with being a man? you didn't get the choice before, but you have one now, would you choose it again?

is being a man really what you want? or is it just what you've been told you want all your life?

Do you avoid thinking about it? Do you try to numb yourself and go through the motions of being a man? Do you ever think "this is just what men are supposed to do"?

Folks are really out there arguing that generative AI represents the death of truth in advertising like we haven't spent decades watching TV commercials pour motor oil on pancakes because real syrup doesn't look like what people expect syrup to look like.

I think what the present discourse about generative AI in advertising really highlights is that a concerning number of people genuinely have no idea how far removed your average TV spot is from the reality of whatever it's trying to sell you. Like, I don't just mean camera tricks and good lighting – I mean that more often than not, the thing on screen simply objectively does not depict the thing you're buying. We're trading one maliciously deceptive simulacrum for another.

Even tho that's technically true, I still think the art of making fake food is still cool and shouldn't be replaced with AI

I think when discussing the evils of the Lying To You In Increasingly Intrusive Ways industry, the artistic integrity of the medium they're using to lie to you is a deeply silly thing to be concerned about tbh.

it's still a neat art form that is in danger of being lost

Nobody is stopping me from pouring motor oil on pancakes and taking a picture of it as an art project if I want.

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.

One of the things I consider the most unforgivable about tumblr is the constant association of black politics with the most reactionary positions imaginable. I cannot go a week without seeing one of our more unfortunate users and their white fans going on about how anti-imperialism is racist, or being a transfem is racist, or possibly attacking anyone with any materialist formations about the world at all. Wholesale laundering hitlerisms because the white users of this site will only listen to racialized users if they agree with their horrible preconceptions.

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.
