i can say it a thousand fucking times "i dont hate femboys i dont hate drag" and people will waltz in "oh how dare you? how dare you hate drag and femboys? how dare you say they're perverts and freaks? how dare you say they don't suffer from queerphobia?" im genuinely so fucking pissed right now FUCKING LISTEN TO ME. READ THE WORDS THAT I WRITE
i love when Europeans try to act all above the racism and queerphobia and shit that USAmericans get ragged on for online bc like. babygirl where do you think they get it from
Look at me. You can not save Men's Rights as an ideology. Be a trans activist. Be an anarchist. Be a black activist or a disability activist. Men's Rights are not the solution to your problems; but you can find out what is, and you can champion that cause.
Men's Rights Activism is not a good idea that gets turned bad, it is simply a branch of antifeminism. You have to let it go.
Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:
Not all Men are evil
Everyone has the capacity for evil
Transgender Men are men
Transgender Women are women
Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)
Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement
Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators
Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"
Holding up snarky signs doesn't seem to be working.
For me, it isn't about whether this action is appropriate or not. It's about how this kind of action is inevitable.
I'm going to let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. explain in a quote no one seems to post during his annual holiday.
"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?"
If you only speak up about a supercharger catching fire and ignore the unheard, you are prioritizing a thing over people.
hi a note for transfemmes: there is a site called eshakti where you can get beautifully made femme clothes in a wide variety of shapes, colors, prints, and fabrics -- all made to your measurements. it is not cheap, but it's also not expensive for what it is. i dont know where they ship outside of the us but im sure they have it listed somewhere.
im not a transfemme but i pretty much exclusively shop from eshakti when i can because my body is ridiculous shapes that are not found in pretty much any clothes i could buy off the rack. the quality is amazing, and if anything fits weird, you can send it back for adjustments.
my partner IS a transfemme though, and she just got her first order in, and she just looks so beautiful and so happy and i just. i want to make sure y'all know this exists. i know not everyone can afford it, but for those who can, it can be really nice to have something in a shape you want, in a color you want, in a fabric you want, made for your body no matter what shapes make up your body.
typically for your first order you get custom sizing for free. right now (july 2nd 2023) there's a 35% sale on the whole store, and those sales happen probably quarterly, and you can get the free custom sizing on top of that. you MAY be emailed by the team to confirm some of your sizing, but i promise it's just to make sure your measurements are right, and not the company trying to judge or discriminate. i was contacted for my wild shapes (bust/waist ratio) and my partner was contacted for her height (she's 6'3"). you just email back confirming and it's totally fine.
i hope you have clothes that fit you, size and soul, and make you feel beautiful, whether from here or otherwise.
SOOOOO funny when you’re having a strong emotion and your logical brain KNOWS you’re overreacting but you literally can’t do anything about it.
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol
