its all 'be gay do crime' until a black person starts making allusions to drugs or sex or god forbid VIOLENCE and then it turns out nobody can handle anything more hardcore than downloading illegal torrents of hamilton
almost every big post i see on here with a joke about transfeminine people, whether coming from someone transfeminine or not, rely on sexualization of transfems as the punchline. I could probably list on one hand the number of popular transfem-humor posts ive seen in the past year where the joke wasn't sexual in nature. which could mean nothing.
A recent post breached containment so I think it's time for some rent lowering:
Trans children should have the right to undergo the correct puberty at the same time as their peers.
Puberty blockers were only ever a compromise and should not be seen as the end goal of trans advocacy.
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
has anyone figured out how to be a real person yet
I am writing to you and asking for help in any way to restore what the occupation has destroyed since October 7, 2023, so that my family and I can survive the war and save what remains of our lives because Gaza has become unlivable. There is no longer a suitable place to live. There is no solution other than evacuation to survive. Unfortunately, the price of evacuation from Gaza is very expensive!! We cannot bear these costs. There is no solution but to help you by donating, sharing our story, or praying for us.
I am talking to you, and after thinking for a long time before taking this step, but I realized that there is nothing left for us in Gaza after the occupation destroyed all our possessions, possessions, dreams and future... Therefore, I came to you and I am full of hope from you that your donations will cover the cost of survival and Evacuation to a better life..
The occupation destroyed our home and our dreams and moved me and my family to live in tents after ordering and forcing us to evacuate from northern Gaza.
We currently live in a camp in the Al-Zawaida area, and this is the thirteenth displacement since October 7, 2023, and we struggle daily to obtain clean water, food, and the rest of the necessities of life, despite the high prices that make us struggle more to obtain them..
In Gaza, the wounded are killed.
Whoever transmits the news will be killed.
Whoever treats the wounded will be killed.
Whoever rescues people will be killed.
Whoever feeds them will be killed.
Whoever gives them water will be killed.
Whoever does nothing will be killed.
Whoever remains silent about all of this is an accomplice to the killer.
Please don't stop helping my families we are suffering every moment donate to us here
Not that it's anything new, but the "voluntary" in "voluntary migration" really drives home the utter shamelessness of the occupation.
They destroy Gazan homes, hospitals, schools, roads, universities, infrastructure, cut off their water and electricity, then when they have no choice but to escape the hell that was created for them, claim they "voluntarily" chose to leave their land behind and have no right to return.
When Nakba deniers claim that Palestinians "chose" to leave their land, remember this.
I am Mahmoud's wife. Unfortunately, I wanted to inform you that my husband Mahmoud was injured in the head, which caused a skull fracture that descended onto the nerves of the brain and affected the nerves of speech, hearing, and sight.
Mahmoud's condition is very critical and he must go abroad for treatment. He was injured 3 days ago and underwent surgery to clean his head. The doctors are telling us that he needs to undergo a major operation to remove the shrapnel or fix it to the skull bone so that no nerves in the brain are cut off.
Please donate and share this post widely so that we can get my husband out and receive treatment abroad.
