Hey so I’m hyped that Trump’s gone and all but let’s just remember that things don’t magically get better from here on out - we have to keep working for them.
Keep supporting blm.
Keep protecting trans kids.
Keep welcoming immigrants.
Keep defending marriage equality.
Keep believing women.
Keep working to make our society more fair, just, and accepting of all.
The worst takes on this website are the ones which are just recycled right wing,imperialist,cis white conservative rhetoric but with a woke/feminist/gay cap on it,and its scary how so many people here unironically repeat them during discource while condemning the same arguments if they are said by cishet white conservative people.
I support all GNC people but can we please stop acting like gender nonconformity is the same in men as it is in women? Like “It’s okay to be a man who shaves his legs or a woman who doesn’t” or “boys can wear makeup too and girls don’t have to :))) it’s about choosing what you want”. I understand the intention behind it and of course, these statements are true, but acting like these things are comparable is just gross.
Gender nonconformity in men, in this context, is a performance, an active defiance (which is great and I support it!). For women it’s just… existing in their natural bodies. A woman could shipwreck onto an uninhabited island and she’d be the height of gender nonconformity. Stop treating natural female existence like it’s an active choice.
people will have BLM in their bios and yet be the first to resort to racist and anti black behavior the moment a black person tries to correct them. we’ll get branded as aggressive and uneducated. and there’s this assumption that we can’t be angry. that we have to be nice and hold non-blacks’ hands or some shit. it’s all very annoying
- Being misgendered purposely - Bullying - Physical fights - Verbal abuse and threats - Sexual harassment - Leaving home - No support - Friends as well as family disowning me - Being called a tr*nny. - Not being able to breathe or move because of dysphoria and binding. - Depression and anxiety. AND A FUCK TONNE MORE.
So please can all trenders stop saying “being trans is so great, I love it.” It isn’t fun at all, fuck off.
My ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD sister has to do her mandatory school work remotely from home because of lockdown. Tonight, my mum and I discovered that the app she has to use for class contains
MICROTRANSACTIONS.
Let me repeat that: microtransactions being put into an app that my little sister needs to use to receive her school assignments and participate in her education.
Basically, this is an app where the teacher uploads assignments for kids to do and every kid has a little monster that they use as an avatar in the virtual classroom. You can unlock new skins and customise your monster but it costs REAL MONEY.
Kids don’t need this kind of peer pressure. They already have to deal with these god damn transactions in all of their video games. They don’t need this in their VIRTUAL CLASSROOM APPS.
PLEASE STOP PREYING ON CHILDREN WHO ARE TRYING TO DO THEIR SCHOOL WORK.
My sister does not need to spend money customising her in-app classroom avatar. She is trying to do her maths assignments. She is a CHILD.
Why are microtransactions being put into TEACHING APPs that children are using for MANDATORY WORK during a PANDEMIC????
Abolish capitalism and all of these god damn parasites hurting our kids. Holy hell.
If a cis person, a straight person, a gamer, a white person, or a member of another non-oppressed group asks, “Where’s MY pride parade? Where’s MY special flag? Where’s MY exclusive club?” Then they must also ask…
“Where’s my fabric patch that my people were forced to wear on their clothing during the Holocaust?”
“Where are the laws that deny me being able to adopt children, marry my partner, or freely use the public bathroom that makes me feel safest?”
“Where are the politicians and religious figures that openly murder and imprison my people?”
If none of these questions make any sense in regard to their group, then perhaps they should next ask, “Why am I trivializing the traumatic history of oppressed people trying to survive in a world that violently tries to make them disappear?”
lgbtq+ should be lgb only and you cannot change my mind. inclusivity is bullshit. trans, asexuals, allies, and all the other made up bullshit has no place here. i’m sick of feeling like i don’t have a place in my own community. fuck your validity, fuck your need to be special, fuck your kink. it is humiliating to be grouped with such people and if you do a mere 30 seconds of research or logic based thinking i think you’d agree with me.
Hi! Trans person here -
I have a genuine question. I’ve done loads of research into this topic because I find it incredibly interesting, but you’re stance on “inclusivity is bullshit” is pretty interesting to me, as someone who strives for inclusivity. I don’t quite get why it’s a bad thing?
Would *anyone* feel safe in a bathroom or locker room next to this man? Would any parent feel their child would be safe talking to this man on social media or in real world LGBT spaces?
Can we please stop pretending like there aren’t any people who are legitimately mentally ill and potentially dangerous in the trans movement? It’s there and it is not uncommon and there really are many dangerous people who identify as transwomen.
This last one is after three clips of a woman dressed up as Wendy Torrance from The Shining saying “Hello, I’m Shelley Duvall.” His response: “Heeeere’s Johnny!”
