Please shut your ass up. First of all,TERFS were never about love and acceptance (they don’t accept trans women as real women lol), so you can stop harping over there. A black trans women led a stonewall riot for the LGBT community.

Now do the rest of Tumblr a favor, and log off

Marshmallowfury

To break down this whole situation on marshmallowfury, she did nothing truly wrong. What she did “wrong” was go against one of the most popular opinions in the LGBT+ community. Here, let me say it again. You’re all yelling about a popular OPINION. The LGBT+ community was built on love, acceptance and equality. So to see people who are a part of that community tell someone to die for their beliefs, but get mad when someone else does it? It really shows me that the community is tainted and toxic. “She’s making money off of the LGBT+ community and the people in it!” Ok, well. You can make money off of anything, really, your point? She’s not directly marketing for the LGBT+ community, so that accusation is incredibly stupid. Now while I don’t agree that letting every trans woman into the bathroom will result in rape, there is clear evidence it has occurred, but this is not putting all trans women on the spot. Let me repeat, THIS IS NOT PUTTING ALL TRANS WOMEN ON THE SPOT. Rape can occur regardless, and your identity has nothing to do with it, your overall character does. You have the right to be who you are and you have the right to express it in any way you want to, but that won’t stop someone from having their opinions about you, and or, what you stand for. It also won’t stop a law that keeps you out of said bathroom, and an expressed opinion over your identity won’t and CAN’T stop you from being who you are. To be very clear, I can see points from both sides of this argument. I don’t solely support either side, but I don’t believe in or support all of the hate that is getting shoved in Marsh’s face. There is saying a fact, that being that trans women were not born women, and then there is respecting what someone wants to be called, and or, known as. To which she has every right to not do that. She does not have to respect you if you’re not respecting her. If she went around to to a bunch of trans women’s blogs, or support blogs, and sent direct hate, then I could understand the argument, but she hasn’t. She has kept it to herself until you all went and graciously “exposed” her. For every attempt she’s tried at an apology, or to try and be genuine, she has received hate, so I don’t blame her for feeling frustrated. And to also add, one of my best friends is trans. He has also stated that there’s nothing wrong with pointing out that someone wasn’t born with the gender they identify as. It’s not hate to say that, it’s fact. And to also make something very clear, a lesbian not wanting to sleep with a trans woman is not transphobic. The person could be transphobic, but just because they don’t want to sleep with someone who isn’t a biological female does NOT, by ANY means, make them transphobic. Being a lesbian means exactly that. Liking girls. They have a term for what you’re accusing her and other lesbians for. It’s called being Pansexual which means you like all genders and everything far and in between. But to be lesbian means you like women that are biological females unless the person states otherwise. It would be a direct lie if someone asked you if you were male or female biologically speaking and you said the opposite of what you were born with. Much like what you’re also saying with how you’d had “trust” in Marsh, someone can also trust in you to tell them the truth about yourself before they proceed to do anything with you. I would feel deeply lied to if I had asked someone what their biological sex was and they had stated that they were female, and or, male, but clearly weren’t. You can tell someone, very clearly, “I am not biologically female, but I do identify as a woman.” It’s really that simple and it clears up a lot. The whole “Lesbians who don’t want to sleep with trans women is transphobic.” Is the same concept as dating someone who identifies as bisexual, or bi-curious, and the person realizes they are straight, and or, lesbian/gay. You feel as if it’s unfair because you love them and want them to accept you, but your identity won’t make up for their comfort. And if they aren’t comfortable with you and your identity, then it’s time to move on. Just because they don’t want to sleep with or date you, doesn’t mean they hate you. You don’t try to force your identity on people. It won’t work. You move on and find people who will accept you. And I’ll say this, just because you think someone is being an asshole, going OUT OF YOUR WAY to be an asshole back and bash them, doesn’t justify shit and it doesn’t make you a better person.

anyways, japanese imperialism is not a thing of the past and still exists today. japanese propaganda is in the little things, and to end it you have to recognize them. stop glorifying the rising sun flag. pay attention to how japanese media treats its korean characters as opposed to the white ones. be on your guard when anyone or anything implies that japan is in any way superior to other asian countries. above all, listen to and support any poc who has been affected by japanese imperialism.

Shoutout to dark skin girls!!

Dark skin girls like me who are too insecure to post a pic on blackout day due to constant racism and bullying.

Okay can we talk about how this is exactly what Storm should look like ? Wakanda is a fictional place of course, but it’s supposed to be in East Africa, near South Sudan and Uganda. The Nilotic people there have the most melanin and I’m upset that Hollywood continues to cast light skin women to play Storm.

god. white adjacent poc who defend racism drive me b@tshit! my dude, the whites dont actually want you, so why are you doggedly attempting to earn approval points by telling them that appropriation is kool, fun, and completely ok? do you honestly think that by surrendering an aspect of your culture to white appropriation, that you’ll attain some manner of magical immunity to racism and violence when the supremacists come knocking at your door, because you defended them and told them it was ok to steal and disrespect cultural practices and symbols? 

also, who tf died and made you the token spokesperson for an entire marginalized culture? (esp. with things that are shared between cultures that have historically overlapped and mingled – it isn’t really your place as an individual to give permission to white people to appropriate smth.! if it isn’t from your culture (or entirely from your culture alone) or the same thing/something very similar belongs to neighboring cultures (possibly as a product of historical interaction and cultural overlap, like e.g. henna,  or maybe the wearing of feathers in a specific manner amongst various indigenous groups  (all for different purposes but it isn’t the place of one person to sign over Permission for whites to wear ceremonial headdresses of that type), then it isn’t something that you alone can actively “give away” to white people. 

white adjacent poc who defend the actions of whites who are guilty of cultural appropriation are the reason that marginalized identities are literally made into halloween costumes and fashion accessories. 

this also contributes to the idea that poc aren’t as worthy to be white equals; like we have to “earn our place” by actively giving/surrendering to white people something of ours for them to use/benefit from (and this leads to white artists using sacred/culturally-specific imagery and profiting off it immensely, while creators from that very culture get approximately nothing) which is also not a good look bc we shouldn’t have to “earn” equality as it’s a basic fucking human right but ok 

i understand that in some cases, this is driven by a desire for representation and to be seen/appreciated by white people, but this isn’t the correct route to be taking, here. if you want to share your culture, how abt finding somebody who, idk, actually fucking respects and genuinely appreciates both you and said culture first? idk man just a Thought
