something rlly fascinating about one kind of response ive gotten to telling ppl im cutting off my parents: “im sorry its come to that”. sympathetic right? its assumed that something has gone wrong, the relationship has followed a trajectory to a stage that is irretrievable (from where?), and that this stage is something i regret and would rather not have reached. that the parental bond is good, that i would obviously prefer to preserve it, and that my parents have said things or taken actions of late that have necessitated this step. in a recent attempt at contact, my mother asked “if we have done something to upset you”. i could say lots about my relationship to my parents here, but i dont want to miss the wood for the trees. that relationship was formative; i was a child, these are people that raised that child, that taught it how to be a person, as parents are wont. what if my parents have not done anything new? what if nothing has changed in their disposition to me? the problem may be precisely that, that nothing has changed. is that not the promise of the family? the infinite perpetuation of the blessed present? not the exception but the rule. this present is unbearable to me, and so i would like to change myself. im not sorry
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.
every post about trans women does not need an addition that creates a parallel equivalent for transmascs. make your own motherfucking post
people have got to learn the difference between I didnt like it and It was bad
transition will make you happy in a way that nobody could possibly warn you about. it will never sound nearly as wonderful as it feels. there are just no words
One thing about me is I will never abide by anyone who calls themselves "detrans" with any level of pride
Hey, so we’re an insane trans woman and we have been really really struggling for awhile, things only continue to get more and more difficult with the way the world is going and it’s getting insanely overwhelming to deal with. If you could help us alleviate as much of this stress and misery as possible by helping us pay for literally any of the crap hanging over our shoulders at all times that would be tremendously helpful and wonderful. Our cashapp is $CharaHaze Venmo is @Chara-Haze and our PayPal is lilakat.connolly@gmail.com. Seriously please if you can spare anything. We still have so so much to deal with, car issues, food and gas, fixing appliances around the house, etc. everything helps!
one consequence of transmisogyny (but not unique to it) is that it makes you into a paranoiac. take the example of the "degendering they" or like the "backhanded compliment," relatively minor interpersonal interactions that trans women increasingly feel hypervigilant about. it's probably counterproductive to assume everyone who gives you a compliment or refers to you as "they" or "this person" (<- phrase that actually revolts me a little now in this context) is doing so condescendingly, in a malicious or even just incidentally diminishing way. but also, everything about your life as a trans woman encourages you to be on alert for these kinds of cues, because if you're not paying attention to them then when the hammer drops it will hit that much harder.

Found a bunch of booklets from a transfeminist conference I helped organize in 2015 and I love how this panel is still just as relevant a decade later lmao

Since day 1 you stupid son of a bitch
If you can't love a butch transfem while she's got stubble growing in then I find it hard to believe you could love a butch at all.
reblog this to be an annoying faggot at ur followers
Every few years there’s a shift in the discourse where someone decides that there’s a group of queers who aren’t “really” queer and for reasons unknown decided that they will focus all of their discourse on trying to discredit that one group.
It used to be “straight passing” bisexuals. Then it was “Theyfabs” and “transtrenders”. Then it was “hetero aces.” Now it’s “transmisogyny-exempt” people. And the thing you find every time is that the people writing angry multi-paragraph screeds about how these “invaders” are “stealing resources” or “silencing people” but they can never actually point to more than one or two examples, at best, of this happening.
But if you repeat something enough with a strong enough conviction in your voice, people will pretty much always be willing to think you’re right, even when you aren’t.
This is the basis of fascism. Exclusionary rhetoric is fascist. No one is immune to this thought process. You have to actively work on avoiding it.
“Did you just call me a fascist because I’m concerned with TME people silencing trans women” i mean, yeah. I did. Fix yourself, and I’ll be willing to talk to you again. I won’t apologize for what I said, mind you. But you can always fix yourself.
I used to think like that. I used to talk about how you “need dysphoria to be trans” and how bi people can “pass as straight” and how trans men “take up our space.” And I was wrong about all that.
There’s enough space in the queer community for everyone. We are always stronger when we understand this. Please, look towards unity rather than division. Fix yourselves.
Being wrong doesn’t make you a bad person. Changing your views is not evidence of weakness. Your friends will still live you if you change. Please.

there's something uncomfortable about western millennials/gen z's deep obsession with watering Studio Ghibli movies down into "wholesome bean comfort flicks aesthetic uwu japan" when half of these people completely miss the point of these films and the complex nuanced topics they deal with, especially when it comes to post war Japan.
TME people really do throw out the tactical ''bro' on purpose in online arguments. Like they're setting a trap and they win either way. I don't think it's always a cognitive decision, but they fucking know somewhere that's what they're doing. The options for the doll are to either take the punitive misgendering, or object and get made out as the crazy, angry tranny cuz they have plausible deniability.
Trans women truly are at the intersection of trans ness and womanhood, like this is the same fucking playbook every anti feminist man-on-the-street video has used for the last 15 years at least: say something inflammatory but plausibly deniable in a calm tone, get the woman to call you on your bullshit, and say "woahhh calm down I'm just asking questions." Then everyone who is feminist-in-name-only gets to go "I'm a feminist/I don't even agree with this guy/etc. , but this woman is CRAZY," and bam, the provoked is sold as the provocateur. It's the same exact shit my drunk of a mother did to me as a teen--it's the double bind, you react, you lose, you don't react, you lose.
And like the thing is, I do believe people when they say they bro people all the time. I call people "girl" all the time, like ill refer to my cishet dude friends as girl, like "girlllll why did I say yes to this..." But like if I were experiencing 'good-faith' conflict with one of them, I wouldn't be calling them that, not even cuz it would be "misgendering," but because it would feel like talking down to them and showing them a lack of respect, like I wouldn't be calling them 'bro' in that moment either. So like, when you're having a conflict with a tranny, you get to talk down to her, show her you don't fucking respect her, and misgender her, AND you get to do it consequence free. All that's missing is coffee and a blowjob.
Idk, it just frustrates me to no end that so many fuckin "queer, fuck terfs, trans women are women types" are so stoked that they have acceptable targets to bully and push around like they just got a Daily Wire gig.

can catholics start feeling guilty about all the antisemitism and genocide and forced conversions and colonialism and the ratlines instead of whatever stupid bullshit "catholic guilt" currently means?
Green eyes shouldn’t actually be considered an eye color. It’s just not common enough, it’s a VERY SMALL percentage of the population, 1-2%. Green eyes are also caused by an irregular mutation. Most people have blue or brown eyes, so those are the two eye colors.
All the “green eyes” positivity is actually a bad thing, by the way. Having green eyes is linked to higher rates of retinal melanoma. You’re celebrating something dangerous that can cause suffering.
And besides, most people with “green eyes” lean closer to blue or brown anyways. They should just make up their minds and be brown eyed or blue eyed. And if it’s too hard to tell, they should get corrective surgery (because green eyes are dangerous, and associated with more difficult medical care!) or at the least wear contacts so they don’t confuse people. But also they should be required to
I hate to sound like this, but green eyes are a far more recent development than blue eyes in the mutagenic history of humans. So humans weren’t created to have green eyes.
And hazel eyes? Those are just a variant of brown eyes—come on, they’re far closer to brown than green. They just have a couple greenish traits. And there’s no way there’s that many green eyed people, or a wide variety of eye colors… It’s just not natural.
I don’t have a problem with green eyed people, they didn’t ask to be born that way—but there’s just too few of them for it to be an actual eye color. We don’t need all this “green eye positivity” or putting green eyes in media. The internet is making people delude themselves into thinking it’s more common than it really is.

misclicked on a bunch of shit in quick succession and was met with a somewhat harrowing prompt
lesbians love and support our trans sisters 💖💖
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
idk how thats not obvious to everyone but you really can’t both hate men and love trans people at the same time. there will always be a section of trans people you’ll hurt. whether it be trans men as a whole, closeted trans women, trans women who you refuse to acknowledge as women because they don’t fit your idea of womanhood, multigender and/or genderfluid people who are sometimes and/or partly men. even if you have a clause that says ‘*except trans ones’, you are still forcing us to out ourselves. that is dangerous. that kills people.
and frankly youve already made me feel unsafe enough around you that i definitely do not want to out myself, cuz in my experience, 9 times out of 10, people who hate men are way more violent in their hatred to trans people than cis men, even if they claim to be an ally, because they know they can get away with it.
side note but they’ll also be more violent towards black men, latino men, mentally ill men, any men that are societally considered more violent. for the same reasons. and also because if you’re afraid of masculinity, you will be more afraid of those who have been hypermasculanized. you are not immune to the biases who’ve steeped in since birth.

It's true!! Imagine this painful scene... A mother lived with hope for her son's return, even though she knew deep down that he had been gone for more than a year and a half. Donate here But the tragedy is not over yet... Today, amidst the rubble, she finally found her son, but not as she had hoped to find him; all that remained of him was a skeleton! Nevertheless, she did not hesitate for a moment, hugging him to her chest as if he were still alive, as if she could bring him back to life with her love and longing. This is not a scene from a tragic novel; it is the reality of Gaza, where loss is endless and pain knows no bounds. Donate here
