normally it's frustrating when mystery games hand you answers on a silver plate but in ace attorney, the witnesses' tendencies to conveniently say far more than what they were asked for is so hilarious that it becomes its own reward. ace attorney witnesses will be asked what time they saw the murder and they'll say it was 10:40 and they know it was exactly that time because that's the exact minute they open the can of Fancy Feast to feed their elderly russian blue cat, father of 12 kittens and phoenix will be like umm actually i spoke to your cat and here's a written affidavit from him that there was a recall on Fancy Feast and also he's never been to russia nor known the touch of a woman. you're going to jail buddy

"If the Israeli assault stopped today, and we decided to hold a funeral every single day for each Palestinian killed in the last eight months, it would take us 100 years to honor them all."

The Palestinian speaker at the UN Security Council highlights the devastating toll of casualties among Palestinians resulting from the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Okay I've said before that part of why transmisogyny exempt (TME) people who aren't cis men so often think that TME only means transmasculine and/or cafab people generally is that they are holding on to a belief in sex essentialism which makes it so they literally cannot concieve of themselves as in the same oppressive category as cis men but I really think it's more than that.

"Cis men"—not the actual large demographic of living, breathing people in this world—but the idea of cis men as they have been conceived within queer pop feminist discourse, are people who's transmisogyny is obvious. From violent hate crimes to chasing, these aspects of transmisogyny are well known within pop culture at large and are almost exclusively attributed to cis men. Think of how many movies or shows you've seen with jokes at the expense of trans sex workers. Now think of how many of those jokes, rapes, or murders on screen were done by cis men.

This widespread knowledge means that those with even a nominal support for transfems easily and widely condemn these acts of violence. But this conception of transmisogyny—as something separate from queer progressive movements and only limited to fetishization and extreme acts of violence—allows them to ignore their own participation in the more base, less physically violent forms of transmisogyny that they themselves also enforce through social exclusion and abuse which create the conditions for isolation, poverty, and high murder rates to exist.

Nevermind that nearly every demographic other than cis men also commit acts of physical abuse and violence against transfems. Nevermind that cis men, both those who support transfems and those who don't, also enforce the same base social exclusion that everyone else does too. These facts are at best paid lip service to or outright ignored to maintain the belief that the primary enforcers of transmisogy are cis men.

"Cishet men" being positioned this way as fundamentally alien to progressivism through their dominant enforcement of cisheteropatriarchy haunts so much pop queer discourse as the culprit for every aspect of our oppression. Growing out of the 2013 "male tears" buzzfeed jokes type of pop feminism, it's near foundational for so many of the conversations, theorizations, and jokes that are expressed within our shared spaces.

This combination of a widespread obfuscation of base levels of transmisogyny on a societal level and the more niche belief that cis men are the primary or even exclusive enforcers of queer oppression generally creates an ideology where queer people who aren't cis men see themselves as incapable of oppressing us. This along with their held on to sex essentialism is what allows them to believe that it's actually trans women who oppress them from us being "male" and even that it is they who are really affected by transmisogyny.

Therefore when we talk about transmisogyny within wider queer spaces and talk about it as synonymous with how cis men treat us, they cannot help but call us ignorant or liars because this fact challenges so much of their pop queer feminist world view that reckoning it would shake their own self conception as inherently progressive and moral. Seeing themselves as participating in and benefiting from transmisogyny seems to them as wildly outlandish as saying that men don't benefit from patriarchy seems to us.

Was enticed into going into a new small grocery store today by an ad for a 5 dollar shawarma that was painted on the side of the building. The shawarma is soo so good and they had the most incredible bakery with caramel tres leches cake, mint chocolate cake, conchas, and baklava, and its literally right between school and home. The world is endlessly delightful
