Keep Your Messaging Simple:

conservatives have fully lost the plot its actually extremely normal for little kids to pretend to be animals. it's a pretty essential part of their mental development and helps them practice creative skills actually. if a kid comes up to you and says "I'm a kitty cat" you don't need to reality check them. it's fine actually. the correct response is to say "are you? have you caught any mice today? what kind of kitty cat? do you have orange stripes? should we have tuna salad for lunch?"

I'm so glad this is mostly isolated to tumblr (sort of because I think that's part of the issue why some people Say This Shit) but the whole "transandrophobia isn't real masculinity isn't punished in society trans men have male privilege wah wah wah" is actually fucking wild. Do any of you remember mspec discourse. Or ace/aro discourse. Fucking whatever discourse where half of queer tungler decided "actually this type of queer person is bad and privileged and they should be bullied" with no critical thought whatsoever. Time is a flat fucking circle. Stop falling for TERF and other bigoted rhetoric you are not immune to propaganda

alucard and maria parallels this and that but these two scenes specifically? what if we all kill ourselves

To be honest I don't know if fundraising is enough at this point but it's the only thing I can do??

Everyone who cares by now already knows things are dire in Gaza. Several weeks blockade followed by bombardment is some sicko sh-t. Things are really expensive and there's just not enough STUFF to go around. Nevertheless, I'm trying to help Hamada and his family raise money for a tent. The latest strikes made impact near their previous shelters and they are injured and internally displaced in Khan Younis. If I keep writing people are just more likely to scroll past so here's the campaign

Chuffed

A Brighter Future for Mohammed

I am Mohammed from Gaza, 21 years old.

I think people might have been passing over this campaign because it's not vetted. I had submitted a request to @gazavetters for him but seeing as how all of Gaza is under assault and the team behind gazavetters are in North Gaza, I don't think they will be able to get to his campaign soon. And I'm not Palestinian nor do I speak Arabic so I can't give you a 100% guarantee in vetting but I will say that I've been chatting with Hamada and his brother on Whatsapp, they have +970 country code numbers, and the IBAN given to me resolves to a bank of Palestine account. If anyone knows anyone willing and able to vouch, please get in touch.

In 2021, my country debated on a law to open medically assisted procreation to women couples and single mothers. When it was debated we asked for it to broaden the conditions to include trans men and transmascs since the only mention of women excluded whose who had changed their gender markers.

We were consistently told by cis and trans women alike to stop making reproductive rights about men, that it was their fight.

The law passed. And we celebrated, and they celebrated, and we held back tears, we'd never be fathers.

In 2024, my country debated on putting abortion in the constitution.

The minister of families received 2 renowned TERFs and tried to change the law go forbid professionnals to refuse an abortion to "women", so trans men whose gender markers were changed could be denied. And we fought, and we fought for the definition to be changed and we won, and we celebrated in

Deafening silence.

“If men could be pregnant it’d be in the constitution already !”

If only you knew.

After I got assaulted, I wanted to take a self defense lesson.

They were “cis and trans women only”, because a man like me shouldn't know how to hit. I went to the gym and I punched a dummy until my knuckles turned purple.

I got a sleep exam. Under anesthesia, the doctor asked me if he should say “sir or ma’am”. I’m tied up on the bed. I asked him to say “sir”. He tells me “I guessed so, you’re such a pretty boy” and he stroke my arm. I want to scream and cry. When I recall the scene to people I'm stealth with, they say I just dreamed, he wouldn't do that, I'm a man. I'm a hysterical woman with extra steps.

I catter to my wounds alone and I wonder

If I got to the point of being hatecrimed

If people would argue on my grave

For it to be called

A feminicide.
