This Disability Pride Month Can We Be Mad That Israel Has Made It So More Than Ten Children A Day Lose

bpd culture is feeling a little bit unwanted and immediately shutting down and isolating from everyone even though you know all it does is make things even worse

This is about Sci-Hub. yeah we get it.. gatekeep knowledge and protect the interests of capital…

tw there's a photo of a bee. bee aware. haha get it get it GET I

just putting this out there, i hate the stigma against carpenter bees.

"but they burrow in wood and ruin your house!" skill issue, my house is already in the trenches (constantly dirty for no reason, no ventilation, the floor is broken in quite a few spots, etc.)

"but they can still bite and sting you!" erm, ackshually 🤓 males don't have stingers. plus, the females typically aren't aggressive and only sting if absolutely necessary. and also, if they can bite, why do they like to sniff my hair when i go outside and bumble around just like their cousins?

like, come on. these little guys are absolutely adorable. i don't care about the structural integrity of your house, how can you hate these little fellas? i used to be fucking terrified of bees until i learned that the carpenter bees around my house literally just act tough and can't hurt you for shit

I'd rather hangout with the straight boyfriend than the queer cop who insists they're one of the "good ones" while harassing people of color

I'd rather hangout with the straight palestinian grandma than the queer zionist who keeps insisting that the death of palestinians is the one way ticket to queer liberation

I'd rather hangout with the leather dyke who is a mspec gaybian and uses paw/pawself pronouns than the puritan who makes "callout posts" clearly targeting disabled queer artists

i made a reddit post asking if i could use a cane without getting 'called out' for it (post stemmed from an argument with mom the night before, abt how basically she got mad and suddenly went on a tangent abt how were lazy and dont need a cane when it would likely assist with some possible disabilities) and i guess people downvoted our post? and i thought we would get support or something but people have been mostly questioning it since we are very unsure ourselves and it just feels like we shouldnt have made that post at all. only one person has been like 'if you need a cane, use it, no matter what someone else says' which is nice but the others have been questioning at best. and we didnt un-upvote our own stuff so we can tell others downvoted it. what the fuck even is reddit

like in our post i said it would help with possible cfs and pots, as well as breathing problems caused by excess exertion, flat-footed walking, and balance issues. i thought it would be obvious that i meant it wouldnt stop any of those but it would provide assistance but... i guess not? i thought it was obvious that a cane meant i could lean on it or something to provide just a little bit of relief for our feet and body but i guess it isnt obvious to the disability reddit. idk. like ik it wont stop any of those, but;

1. for fatigue and exertion-caused asthmatic issues it would provide me with a little bit of a rest spot since it isnt just my body doing all of the hard work

2. for the almost fainting of possible pots, a cane would let me lean on something without having the total possibility of falling, ive almost fell before because i havent had anything to lean on

3. with balance issues, same thing. it would probably allow me to trip over my own feet less. because 1, you have to be thoughtful abt walking with a cane. i know that damn well, and also it might let me hold on so i dont fall flat on my ass

4. and with my feet, it would relieve a bit of pressure i have on my feet when walking for long distances.

idk i guess reddit hates me (joking)

DEAR ALL SCAMMERS WHO POSE AS OLD RAGGEDY ASS SUGAR DADDIES GO KILL YOURSELVES I DON'T WANT A FUCKING MESSAGE OR A SINGLE FUCKING COMMENT FROM YOU GO FUCKING KILL YOUR WORTHLESS SELVES I'M A GODDAMN CHILD AND I'M TAKEN. GO FUCKING ROT IN THE JAIL CELL YOU DESERVE TO BE IN

anyways hi guys this DIRECTLY contradicts my fucking banner (positivity? haha not tonight!) but i want to not just crawl out of my skin. i want to rip it off! tear my organs to shreds! i want to KILL someone! i want to MAUL someone! tear someone to shreds! i want to rip my own body apart because the way i experience rage is so unique and i hate it! i hate it so fucking much and nobody UNDERSTANDS me. and nobody cares about me either! and god forbid my friends actually like. idk talk to me unless they need something. at least that's how it feels sometimes. I'M usually the one to reach out. do they hate me? am i too annoying and insane for all of them? probably! because fuck me i guess! might as well kill myself!

i'm not actually a suicide risk btw. this is hypothetical and overreacting.

OK fine. I will reveal my Dark and Twisted new kintype... Do NOT Cancel me Tumblr people cannot control who they kin!!

I KIN DARK MATT.

This is the darker, somehow even more evil version of a guy named Matt. CEO of Tumblr by day, PUNK EMO BY NIGHT. Yes, I know I have Emo trauma... but I cannot help the twisted workings of my subconscious.

Dark Matt Fast Facts:

Born and Raised in Houstan, Texas

Emo, taking Japanese lessons

Thinks he can cook, but can't

Dated David Karp before his transition, (his dad had no idea), calls him Karpy (one of the few who can and live)

OBSESSED with Anime

Frequents tumblr AND Twitter, so naturally runs into his ex (Karpy) a lot

J.K. Rowling's former mold dealer...

Used to kin Draco malfoy. Hates to recall his past

Tattoo artist. Gives himself his own tattoos

Pretends to like Jazz and Classical, but is really K and Jpop TRASH

Flamboyant, Loud Mouthed, and Bad at loooove :(

Kermit did NOT want him to have a bracelet, but Joker seems to like him, so...

My Darkest kintype... the one I am most ashamed of...

Pretend you didn't see that.

This is a level of transmisogyny that is somewhat hard to comment on because the things that one would normally point out as transmisogynistic implications are said so brazenly that there can be no pretense about any of the involved parties being unaware of it. The authors know, the readers know, everybody understands that this is pure transmisogyny. There is no plausible deniability.

It's an attempt to establish proximity between transfems and cis manhood in every way possible. Their bodies, their histories, their "socialization", the way they are treated by others, the way they treat and view others, their ways of thinking, even their self-conception. Every aspect of their being is cast as essentially male. Transfems are being called "men" in all but name - and not just any "men", they are made into embodiments of the worst aspects of hegemonic manhood. Not just male socialized but continuing to benefit from male socialization. Not just engaging in abusive behaviors stemming from male socialization but being afforded the freedom to do so because they continue to be treated as men. (Suffice it to say that this does not align with reality)

This is unadulterated sex-essentialism and it's intentionally being used to delegitimize and devalue the standpoint of transfems in feminist discourses. It's clear that the author is projecting transmisogynist ideas onto transfems and simply assumes that these ideas must be correct without considering any alternative. (The fact that transfems do not internalize "male socialization" has been reiterated many times over and should not have to be continually reasserted. This is a baseline level of understanding that we should be able to expect and demand from members of our community.)

Misogyny is framed as being contained within the realms of sexed bodies and gendered socialization in such a way that it allows for the casting of transfems as people enacting misogyny without being primary targets themselves - like cis men.

The claim that the animosity some transfems exhibit towards men comes from wanting to "prove" their womanhood serves the double purpose of casting their womanhood as inauthentic and denying the misogyny they suffer at the hands of men. One would be hard pressed to find a more cruel mischaracterization of transfems' experiences than this.

The cynical misappropriation of the standpoint of the people this screed is directed at by the use of "we" despite making it abundantly clear that the behavior that is being criticized and its supposed causes exempt people such as the author from the possibility of engaging in it should also be noted as an attempt at weaponizing a compromised version of standpoint epistemology against transfems.

The only plausible target audience for this kind of rhetoric are those who carry extreme ressentiment towards transfems and are susceptible to softened formulations of TERF ideology. These are the same kinds of ideas that TERFs have tried to push into trans spaces numerous times, e.g. under names like "sex-conscious feminsim".

A formulaic "retreat" from this post consisting entirely of platitudes has been published after the author received backlash for it but nobody is under any obligation to accept it and they absolutely should not. A person who was very obviously attempting to promote TERF ideology in trans spaces and in the same stroke accused transfems of being uniquely prone to making false accusations is not trustworthy, even if that person backs down upon realizing that the reception is more uniformly negative than anticipated.

@genderqueerdykes @gateway-2000 is a transmisogynist, beyond a shadow of a doubt. Its entire worldview is permeated by transmisogynistic assumptions, ideas and biases at a fundamental level. It has straightforwardly expressed an understanding of transfems' interiorities, their experiences and their social positions that is so incorrect that one has to wonder how someone holding these views could have navigated trans communities for a considerable amount of time without encountering the many transfeminist rebuttals to all of its demagoguery. How could someone with even a passing level of familiarity with TERF ideology or "gender critical feminism" read and espouse these ideas without recognizing them? It's completely unthinkable. It's not unreasonable to assume that it simply misjudged the consensus within its audience as being sufficiently anti-transfeminist for ideas such as these to fall upon fertile ground and it is now going back to waiting until the time is ripe to reintroduce them and to expressing them in more subtle ways until then.

But you can't un-ring a bell.

We can and should assert boundaries against reactionaries engaging in obvious subversion such as this. Refusing to do so is a deleterious error in judgement. This is very far beyond the limits of what any trans community that wants to consider transfems a part of itself can be allowed to tolerate.
