i think at this point any tme person who insists on proclaiming that transandrophobia is "real", that mainstream anti-trans political work isn't fundamentally based in transmisogyny first and transphobia second, that TWERFs and other extremists "hate us all equally" - there's really no excuse of ignorance left anymore. you're truly and unequivocally chosing to ignore the reality of the situation to step over trans women for your own self centeredness (at best). we need to seriously work on shaming these people as much as possible the same way we shame transphobic cisgays throwing all of us under the bus.

if you can't read through trump's executive order and not understand how its fundamentally meant to enact state violence on trans women, you are, at very best, a very stupid fucking idiot. but at this point i just assume you're all just transmisogynists at your core as well

If you’re an American who stopped masking, you don’t have to put on the faux outrage over us leaving the WHO again.

You didn’t care when disabled people were the canaries in the coal mine, but now that you have the possibility of suffocating too, you decide to care.

That’s the difference between a liberal and a leftist.

Also btw trump recognizing only "the two biological sexes" harms intersex people too. I am a researcher of sex and it's affects on disease, and sex is far more complicated than "two sexes" and it always will be. Sex is multifaceted and there are far more than two binary sexes. Keep that in mind too. Don't fall into bioessentialism as you fight for trans people and intersex people.

Quick reminder as we head into Trump’s first week in office. We are about to see an onslaught of executive actions designed to strip of us our rights. We’ve seen this before.

Many of them won’t be legal, many of them won’t take effect immediately, and some of them will be just plain nonsense. Trump alone can’t change the law (yet anyway- that’s Congress) and there is an official government process for enacting most executive actions that works slowly.*

There will be time to fight against these orders—either by stopping them entirely, weakening them, or at least slowing them down.

The purpose of doing so many terrible things at once is to scare us. Is to intimidate us to cede more ground than we need to. Don’t let them.

Stay engaged, stay angry, stay hopeful (or spiteful- me tbh), and—most importantly—stay strategic. Find an organization you trust, follow them, and take action when they ask you to.

(Side note- pick just a few issues to care deeply about and only follow a few organizations you trust. Don’t try to solve everything all the time or consume every piece of news. You WILL burn yourself out and that’s not helpful for anyone. Trust me, speaking from experience. Staying 15% engaged is better than 120% for three months and then 0%).

What we’re seeing right now is a backlash to decades of progress—a dying (and by extension dangerous I’m not gonna lie) breath of those in power desperate to maintain control. They wouldn’t be trying to squash us if there wasn’t something to squash.

TL;DR- there’s gonna be a lot of bad stuff in the news today. Don’t give into panic. There will be time to fight most of it. Stay engaged.

*Unfortunately, there will be some actions the President can control on his own and will take effect immediately. ICE Raids being one of them. Here’s a Know Your Rights factsheet. To learn more and stay informed on this issue, recommend following National Immigration Law Center, CASA, Immigrant Defense Project.

to be fair to Cain if nobody had ever died before and I didn't know it was possible I would probably also hit my brother over the head with a rock if he was being really annoying

A ceasefire has been declared, and everyone is celebrating. But just because the bombs have stopped does not mean the people of Gaza do not still need your help. The families behind this fundraiser have been displaced and each needs $1500 to cover transportation costs to return to their homes in the north of Gaza. Please share, and donate what you can!

I don’t give a fuck if you want to call yourself q///r, that’s your business. Just like it’s my business that I call myself a dyke. The problem arises when you go around calling LGBT people as a whole q///r, just like I think a lot of lesbians/wlw would be pissed if I tried calling us the “dyke community”.

There's this huge pattern I keep noticing of femme dykes who took a long time to realize they're sapphic (usually BUT NOT ALWAYS lesbians) whose femininity was deeply inspired and influenced by the femininity of drag queens and gay boys more than any traditional cis women's femininity.

We see it on Chappell Roan, we see it on Elvira/Cassandra Peterson, and I definitely relate to that experience as well, and so do most if not all the femme dykes I keep in contact with. I absolutely relate way, way more to queer femininity than to traditional cishet women's, and even when I feel comfortable in femininity that isn't expressly queer, it's still some sort of femininity that deviates from standard forms of traditional femininity.

It's why I've said for a while to my closest people that if goth femininity wasn't a thing I'd just be an androgynous blob. That + queer femininity are the only femininities I feel at home in, anything else honestly makes me feel something close to the gender dysphoria I tend to experience around my boobs.

the brave zionist soldiers are fighting against cisphobia

ideally it should be "guy dude and man are not gender neutral; rather the english language uses masculine terms by default because of misogyny", but "even if they are gender neutral you should assume transfems dont want to be called that by default" is practical enough.

…anyway I hope people with personality disorders have a good day today

the fact that a lot of lesbians feel more solidarity with gay men than with bi women (you know, fellow wlw) is really telling wrt bimisogyny in wlw spaces
