It's Like, In Theory Okay To Point Out That Anti-trans Legislation Will Inevitably Misfire And Start

so bearing in mind that t4t was invented by, to be about, transfems, how would you have transmascs who connect with that concept go forward from here? would you want us to come up with our own thing or just try to handle using t4t with more like, awareness and respect and stuff? if youd like to pitch in

genuine question and you definitely dont have to answer, if you answer harshly i wont take it personally haha

listen, there's no reason to give up using it. that cat is out of the bag and it's not really possible to make the space exclusive again, and personally i don't think it would be better that way. all i want and what the transfems i've also seen talk about this seem to want is for the transmascs and straight trans women who use t4t to remember its history and not feel the need to step up and correct or shut down conversations that are being had by transfem 4 transfem lesbians, we do still have our own little community even if it only used to be called t4t and we should remain an autonomous party in conversations about both t4t and our own community. basically don't butt in like that last anon did.

and thank you for asking that's absolutely the right question to ask when you find out your terms are taken from a marginalized group you don't belong to, the answer will vary depending on the situation but the question is always good

If you know you know.

... Extrapolating from incomplete data be like...

The worst thing is that low quality porn is still extremely easily accessible on tumblr, but what isn't allowed anymore really is user's expressions of their own sexuality.

so long as we're back to social justice 101 on this stupid website, u need to be aware of the feedback loop that emerges from disproportionate scrutiny: any social group that is placed under extra scrutiny, regardless of the actual prevalence of any particular behaviour, will appear to engage in that behaviour more often.

you see this most blatantly with racialised groups (more cops in black neighbourhoods = more arrests in black neighbourhoods = "omg look at all the crime in these neighbourhoods!" = more cops in black neighbourhoods etc). even if the rate of crime is the same (putting to one side the criminalisation of poverty which is also an important related factor), one group gets away with it way more often and a new generation of racists is indoctrinated with the crime statistics which "prove" that some groups are simply more criminal in nature. we see a similar phenomenon online with particular groups (trans women being a huge example) being subjected to mass stalking, their every move documented by weirdos and broadcast as representative of the group as a whole.

tl;dr - overscrutinising groups based on existing bigotries creates a recurring feedback loop, reproducing those bigotries across generations and nominally justifying them. this is bad, and you need to remember that you are not immune to it.

As a rule of thumb, don't reblog donation posts or people asking for donations unless they've been vetted and reblogged by Palestinian bloggers. We usually go to lengths to verify this shit because we know scammers have been faking to get people to send them money, using the urgency of our genocide as bait.

It's disgusting this is what we're dealing with, but people are losing money because of some truly evil people out there.

Accounts don't just randomly spring up on tumblr without gofundmes while asking for someone to help them create a campaign. Fuck out of here with that shit.

Minecraft if it was awesome

I just got described as an "ad hating commie" by someone because I said a minute of youtube ads is unpleasant. fully spent 5 minutes arguing and defending youtube ads. insane stuff

I know there’s an existing post somewhere, but here’s the list of OBGYNs in the USA and other countries that will perform tubal ligation (aka female sterilization) without arguing with you
