this post is so bad my jaw actually dropped. like. yes being trans and going thru the wrong puberty is often incredibly traumatic. that is not the same as the intentional and widespread medical abuse against intersex people (especially children). irreversible medically unnecessary often physically harmful and psychologically harmful+traumatizing hormone treatment and surgeries are not the same as having to go through natal puberty, which is also often traumatizing, but it is different. and you know damn well that is not what intersex people are talking about when they talk about forced medical intervention and abuse. it is not the same thing at all. & this is such an obviously intentional misinterpretation of what intersex activists have been talking about.
#text#intersexism#discourse#also so many of the people in the notes of this agreeing with it have green urls on shinigami eyes which is CRAZY#bc what use is ur trans allyship if youre spending your time intentionally misinterpreting intersex activists#honestly that extension is getting sm worse considering now people get marked red for being ''transandrophobia truthers''#and people who are WILDLY transphobic against trans men get marked green. but thats not my business#and also not the point. lets get back to this post. is anyone else seeing this or is there black mold in my room. i hope theres black mold#intersexppl im sorry about thw world

If anyone has a problem with saying "rest in power" to the white man that self-immolated himself and yelled "Free Palestine" till he burned to death then I want you to block me right the fuck now. You are so morally bankrupt and brainwashed by western neoliberal identity politics that you aren't worth spitting on. There's nobody resting in more power than that kid.
#first y'all harrass that poor dead trans girl's family and friends into apologizing#for chanting Say Her Name at her being misgendered in her death#when Black activists in the UK themselves tried to tell y'all to shut up#and now this#you cannot appropriate a social justice slogan between liberationists#if you honestly can't see a difference between Aaron Bushnell and that bitch RBG#then you might as well give your brain away to someone who'll use it#identity does not confer authority. nor does it confer conscience and good sense#sancitifying the identity of the victims over building solidarity among those sharing a common oppressor is how we build own cages#fuck westerners man. there's something deeply twisted in y'all#free palestine#aaron bushnell#racism#decolonization#solidarity#neoliberalism#identity politics#knee of huss

South African TRAs bullied a black woman, Ntsiki Mazwai, into deleting her tweet about trans women being men.
They’ll do anything to silence women.

what’s your favorite book you’ve read this year??? i gotta pick up something new!!
what a lovely question to receive! im so sorry for the delayed response and that i dont know your taste in books (please feel free to dm me anytime and talk about them!) but i really enjoyed The Gilda Stories to the point i've read it three times within the same month!
its a 1991 novel forcing on a Black lesbian that escapes enslavement and eventually becomes a vampire by two lesbians. each chapter being about a different time period in her life [1850, 1890, 1921, 1971, 1981, 2020, 2050]!
i dont want to give too much away if you havent read it yet but the writing is so enchanting and Jewelle Gomez's style is one of my favorites. its simultaneously melancholic and comforting, holding onto the message of how important hope for tomorrow is despite the current state of today and that community is needed not only for survival but for actual living—that those connections is what makes life truly fulfilling. i've underlined so many little lines in almost every passage (when not underlining the entire passage itself!) because i just love gilda herself as well as how her motivations, desires, and resilience is written and explored. plus i find the way vampires and how they function to be such a beautiful idea and so creative :) i really hope you read it and enjoy it as much as i have!! <33
from the afterword:
“Jewelle Gomez says that she modeled her first book of poems The Lipstick Papers after Lorde’s early publications, and was inspired by that vampire who appears on the very last page of From a Land Where Other People Live. Lorde asks whether the black community is ready for a black woman who defies limitations, and Gomez responds with Gilda, a black woman who moves across time and space, navigating different eras in black creative community. Gomez provides depth and flesh to the nightmares of narrow-minded people who police the definition of blackness, and steals back the power and threat of black feminine difference. In other words, if the definitions of blackness, femininity, and queerness are death in the eyes of the dominant culture, Gomez offers another way of being black, queer, and feminine by creating the undead.
Policy makers are afraid of the black woman who keeps her family alive without access to food, but here is Gilda, living on wine and dreams in the dark. Black nationalists are afraid of the black woman who can be a man when she needs to be, but here she is wearing britches and sprinting through the Midwest. The white feminist movement is afraid of a black woman in control of her sexuality, but here is a black woman who can run a brothel and kill a rapist with the same skills. Black women are afraid that expressing their power will leave them isolated and alone, but here is a black woman who wrestles for generations with the need for space and intimacy, interdependence and agency. Black artists are ready to produce a poetics that is more than a reaction to the oppressive narratives of the man, and here is Jewelle Gomez, a poet, relevant for generations.”
#also the writer (Jewelle Gomez) is a Black member of the Iowa and Wampanoag tribes!#shes an activist whos been advocating for gay rights since the early 80s and her wife also is an activist whos produced a lot of early prid#events in san francisco; is the executive director of The Lesbian Health & Research Center at UCSF; and develops programs to help educate#lesbian; bisexual; and trans women health!#<- just some bonus information on the writer since i learnt this and thought it was nice :3#but I'll easily place this book as my top read of the year and just general favorite books list. my queue is LOADED with quotes from it <33

my least favorite thing is deleting my political activism comments on instagram for my own safety as a minor. i am so firm in my own beliefs but the simple fact of the matter is, i would prefer not to have my life threatened before age 18 , hell ever. though, i come off as a straight up coward when delete things because my beliefs are so stong that safety is an afterthought.
