When did the idea that terfs don’t hate cis men start becoming popular… like have any of you ever gone to a terfs blog? Also the idea that terfs dont look at trans women as men, when a big part of the reason terfs target trans women is because they see us as vulnerable men

Harris now begins her defeat speech. Most expect it to lose in some states due to the Biden administration's support for Israel and its promise to stand by Gaza. Unfortunately, Trump will also not stand with Gaza, and since his term, he has declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.Please support Gaza because in reality there is no administration or president who stands by the oppressed people of Gaza. Only free peoples stand by them. In this difficult time, I call on you to support my oppressed family in Gaza.

Please stand by my family from famine and devastating war 👈👈

To support my family from here 👈👈

Palestine is free

**Renewed Calls to Support Nader and His Family**

I made this post to renew the call for support and donations for Nader and his family, as the response over the past few days has not been sufficient even though several other people already made similar posts for this particular campaign.

Nader and his family from Gaza have lost everything due to the ongoing genocide. Their home is gone, and they need help to survive and rebuild.

Nader has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise 50,000 euros for medical care, shelter, and basic needs, but he is still far from his goal.

Your donation, no matter the size, will make a huge difference. Please help Nader and his family start over by donating and sharing this campaign. If you have twitter, Instagram et cetera, share the gfm link there as well.

The campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters here (no 4)

Thank you for your kindness and support.

because it's pride month I'm going to swing my favourite bat and my favourite hornets nest and remind you all that pansexuality is just bisexuality wearing a biphobic/transphobic hat. and if people had actually fucking read up on lgbt history and culture before posting bullshit on social media then there wouldn't be whole insulting labels in the mainstream.

[jesspat439]

Wow cis person who just made a post about how annoying trans men are, you’re such a good ally to trans women. Truly where would we be without you

I hate every single person who dragged this horse carcass back into my ask box, just begging me to beat it but here we fucking go.

I think the thing that aggravates me soooo much about a lot of ace rhetoric and ace terminology is the fact that 90% boils down to “different than the norm” and no one fucking knows what the norm is. Unlike concrete identities like gay, straight, bisexual, and trans, it’s just completely abstract and relative.

It’s an ace spectrum so it’s less sexual attraction than normal. Queerplatonic relationships are platonic relationships that are stronger or stranger than normal. Oh, we’re ace and we want to fuck but it’s different than normal, we’re aro and we want to date but it’s different than normal.

What the fuck is normal?

Aces and aros clearly do not know. They cry “amatonormativity” where romance and sex is the norm, ignoring the fact that society does not want or normalize gay love. It is not accepting of women owning sexual desire and acting on it. It doesn’t want interracial couples to fall in love or for disabled people to be openly sexual. It doesn’t think trans people should be raising kids in the nuclear family or that they can even be part of the nuclear family. Amatonormativity is not real.

There is no normal. There is no running average of sexual attraction or romantic attraction. There is no “typical” romantic relationship. No one is meeting a sexual ideal. There is no framework of “asexual but can fuck and suck and even feel sexual attraction sometimes” that makes those people oppressed but makes those who feel sexual attraction but don’t ever want to have sex or are incapable of sex oppressors. A gay person who feels sexual desire does not have social leverage over a straight person who doesn’t… or even over another gay person who doesn’t.

There are INFINITE variables sex and romance that COMPLETELY change their social context. Who is feeling it, who they are feeling it for, how they are feeling it, how they intend to act on it, IF they intend to act on it, how often they feel it, when they feel it, WHY they feel it, and how it is received changes ALL of that.

There is no normal. A cishet demisexual can recreate the nuclear family and uphold “amatonormativity” while a nonbinary bisexual girl can choose to never date or have sex and… suffer no consequences because no one fucking cares if she’s dating or not. No one cares.

A cishet man who wants to fuck women but not date them isn’t defying any norms. He’s not special for not wanting commitment or not being able to feel “romantic desire” which is a complete abstract.

LGBT identities do not exist in contrast to the norm. They exist in contrast to oppressive social classes. They exist in an oppressed/oppressor system with fairly concrete definitions, even if someone may fluidly change identities with time and introspection.

A gay person isn’t someone who “feels gendered attraction outside the norm.” A bisexual person isn’t someone who “feels normal and abnormal attraction.”

And yet 90% of asexual identities, which claim to be a sexual orientation just the same as gay and bisexual, aren’t “does not feel sexual attraction” but rather “experiences sexual attraction but abnormally.” Less than normal. Needs more emotional connection than normal. Feels a normal amount but wants to act on it less than normal.

We get it, Jughead. You’re a fucking weirdo.

But you’re not oppressed for it. Nor do you understand what normal is.

None of you know what normal society is. You don’t leave your house so you compare your life to television shows and fanfic and create an identity out of your life not matching those you see on the screen.

“sexuality is so complicated and impossible to label” - annoying tumblr person about to describe what is literally just bisexuality

[jesspat439]

venn diagram of people who use the word "puriteens" to analyse politics and people who go on r/childfree and refer to children as "crotch goblins" is a circle im pretty sure

[jesspat439]

as we discuss the circumstances that can lead to acts of protest such as self-immolation, let us not forget that many gazans (such as ehab abu nada and fathi harb) in years past have also self immolated in protest of the israeli blockade on gaza. this has also been a form of protest among palestinians in the occupied west bank as well.

[jesspat439]

[jesspat439]

why do I see people acting like Aaron Bushnell's self-immolation in protest is particularly disturbing? I know we have all seen nearly limitless physical violence inflicted on Gazan people's bodies and none of that at any point appeared to generate this level of absolute handwringing theatrics. This is not a good look for many people.
