this argument that terfs dont hate trans men/mascs just as much as trans women/fems has been pissing me off for a while and i wanted to collect a bunch of vile shit that terfs have said about trans men/mascs to show just how much terfs hate us in a very distinct way

but i really did not want to actually look through terf blogs and posts and subject myself to all that hatred because i will just end up feeling fucking miserable

LUCKILY i remembered caelan conrad did three entire movie length videos discussing the gender critical movement and they showed a SHIT TON of screenshots of the stuff these women would say behind closed doors, so here is the screenshot amalgamation of how terfs REALLY feel about trans men/mascs that they "pretend" to care about:

i have linked caelan conrads videos under the readmore as well as included content warnings

and here is my disclaimer: i am NOT CLAIMING that terfs hate trans men/mascs more than trans women/fems. i am showing you how they hate our two groups in vastly different ways that sometimes overlap and sometimes dont. but they DO target ALL OF US MORE OR LESS EQUALLY. STOP DOWNPLAYING THE OPPRESSION OF TRANS MEN/MASCS AND LISTEN TO US WHEN WE SPEAK OUT ABOUT THIS SHIT AND UNDERSTAND THAT WE WANT TO FIGHT AGAINST OUR OPPRESSORS TOGETHER. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DO THAT IF YOU KEEP DOWNPLAYING OUR EQUALLY VALID STRUGGLES IN ORDER TO CLAIM THAT YOURE THE MORE OPPRESSED GROUP OF TRANS PEOPLE. WE NEED TO STAND TOGETHER. AND THAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN WE ACKNOWLEDGE EACH OTHERS PROBLEMS AS EQUALLY SIGNIFICANT.

content warnings for: transphobia, exorsexism, homophobia, misgendering, slurs, conversion therapy, dehumanization, mentions and depictions and mocking of suicide, mentions of sexual assault, mentions of physical assault, internalized queerphobia, discussion of cults, misogyny, racism, misogynoir, white supremacy, islamophobia, antisemitism

pulling out the british dyke card to give some context to the bummy slur drama.

so personally I’ve never seen the phrase “bummer” used as a slur in the same way you’d call someone a fairy etc. (though I’m sure usage does exist, & the uk is an incredibly accent/dialect dense country so ymmv)

however a fairly common, if outdated, term I have heard in the wild is “bumming” which is basically a slang equivalent to sodomy or buggery and has the same connotations. i.e a derogatory way to refer to gay sex. and fwiw it is genuinely where my mind went when I saw bummy pitched as a name.

idrc if bvddie shippers wanna come up with a mean nickname, but if ppl start to point out the one you land on is uncomfortably similar to a slur maybe just stop using it. especially if others start doubling down and actually using it as a slur to taunt mlm fans specifically.

‘but we didn’t know!’ or ‘but it’s not a slur here!’ Hot take but if we can learn there’s a time and a place the word f*g (a historically completely innocuous word in the uk) is not appropriate maybe you guys can do us a solid on this one?

i thinkt the core issue is that femboy is effectively a transmisogynistic slur, it absolved trap as a more socially acdepted alternative, and it is similarly constructed to other transmisogynistic slurs like shemale. it's a degrading third-gendering term

that means most people using it, will use it as such. most people claiming to be attracted to "femboys" or calling people femboys, who don't self-identify as such, are fetishizing transfeminized bodies.

and the people using it as a self-identifier, can use it in a fetishizing way, or in a reclaiming it as a tma person way. and there's a lot of the first that are just transmisogynists, and a lot that are just eggs, and of course some overlap

great fashion! /pos

why is midget considered a slur? /genq

Hello, the m slur is an outdated, discriminatory term to describe someone with dwarfism and is considered a slur by the bulk of the community. The word was popularized by P.T. Barnum, describing the little people he exhibited in his freak shows/circuses; it a word rooted in slavery and abuse, not dissimilar to the f word or n word.

Like all slurs, reclamation can happen case-by-case, but for the most part the m slur is highly offensive to the LP community.

P.s. Thank you!!

the first man Alastor killed was Franco, Italian migrant, greengrocer who raped Al's non-girlfriend

Alastor pretended he didn't know about it, called Franco to hunt near the swamps and then pushed him into a bog, stepped back and shot in the head

Charles Rowland Week Day Five — Earring/AU

Yes this is late but shhhh this ficlet was not working with me!! Still not happy with it but here we are. TW: slurs for South Asian and queer people mentioned (aka paki and fag) as Charles recounts what some of the awful other guys were saying to him. Take care of yourself as always :) hope you enjoy!!

Charles knew it wasn’t fair of him to slam the door open. He came back practically right after class, for once, and he knew that Edwin would be doing homework at his desk. Sudden sounds were worse for Charles than Edwin, for the most part, but it was still a dick move on his part to just bang the door open, storm in, dump his stuff, and then immediately set about taking a shower. In his defence it had been a truly awful day and he figured it was better to take his anger out on inanimate objects than snap (or worse) at Edwin himself.

But, again, this was completely unknown to Edwin, who jumped and twisted in his seat to see what the noise was. He calmed a bit at seeing it was Charles, but still tore his headphones from his ears to start up, “Charles! What the devil has gotten into you?” When Charles dropped his stuff off without responding, Edwin continued, “Is everything alright? Are you alright?”

Charles whipped off his top, threw it in the vague direction of his hamper, and started pacing and taking his socks off at the same time (which doesn’t work very well, but he was too angry to think that through), “It’s those dicks in my woodwork class again! I swear to fuck I am going to drive one of those hammers through their fucking heads, nail their empty skulls together so they might have some fucking use!”

Edwin somehow audibly blinked, “Well. That’s a picture. What have they done this time?”

Charles managed to still himself to unbutton his jeans, “More homophobic, racist shit. ‘Charlie! Charlie! Is the earring because you’re a gross fag or a fucking paki?’ Absolute arseholes. Like it’s any of their fucking business—they wouldn’t know culture if it shagged their mums.”

Another blink, “They really got to you today, it seems. You should take solace in the fact that they’re uneducated as you can be and still stay at this school. Not only are they on the tutoring list—none of which I will ever touch, of course—but anyone with any knowledge of South Asian or gay cultures would know that you would need to have the right, not the left ear pierced.”

Somehow, this logic broke through Charles’s temper (which had to be a special skill of Edwin’s—most people manage to rile him up more). Charles paused in this process of emptying his jeans pockets and stared at his roommate/best friend, “Wait, what? Did you research that?”

Edwin didn’t blush often, but when he did it was always paired with the sternest of expressions and fiddling of his hands. Charles thought it was cute, not that he’d ever say that to another boy. But Edwin assumed that face and Charles thought about it anyway, slightly distracted as Edwin explained, “It was a long time ago, if you must know. Right when you came back with your left ear pierced, in fact. I was… concerned, that I may say something wrong or misinterpret any of it. I had no wish to offend you, which included not asking you outright. … So yes, I ‘researched’ it.”

Charles felt warm to his core in a good way for once, not how anger had been burning through him minutes before. Edwin had really taken the time to look it up, just for Charles? And—, “Wait, researched it how? The Indian ear piercing thing—which isn’t what this is, ‘n case that wasn’t clear—is usually for babies and they get both ears done. The gay thing— that’s not exactly in the library, innit?”

Edwin continued fidgeting, eventually pulling out his little personal notebook for reference of some sort, “In my research I found that which ear was pierced first was a gendered tradition—right ear first for boys, left ear first for girls. Following that was an awfully confusing description of some sort of thread used in place of an earring, which didn’t apply to your piercing so I chose not to pursue it further. As for the— the other, well. Do you remember the boy I tutor for mathematics?”

Charles wasn’t exactly following yet but couldn’t resist in of their usual jokes, “Monty or something, yeah? The one who’s gaga over you.”

As expected, Edwin rolled his eyes (and remained pink in the cheeks) and continued, “Monty, yes. One of his friends was in the area when our session wrapped up and came by to chat. Thomas, I think his name was. He had only one ear pierced as well, though his was on the right. I was pondering if I could naturally bring it up in conversation without being rude—“

“Aw, but you love being rude.”

Edwin’s flat stare caused giggles to flurry through Charles, who tried to quell them to better listen to the story, “—I had no interest in coming across as rude to a new acquaintance. He noticed me staring at the earring, unfortunately. He had already made some … interesting comments—“

Charles bristled, “Oi, what kind of interesting?”

Edwin somehow got redder and redder in the face by the second, “It’s unimportant to the story, Charles, now let me finish!” He waisted for Charles to nod before continuing, “Quite right. Now, Thomas had already complimented me and must have seen me as… I believe he thought that he and I were cut from similar cloth. He was all too glad to point out my staring at his jewellery, in front of Monty and all!, and tell me about its meaning. I was— mortified, to say the least. The proximity—“

“He made you uncomfortable? That wanker. What did you say his name was?” Charles couldn’t help himself—if someone was freaking Edwin out it was Charles who was going to bat, literally.

Edwin huffed, “He leaned in closer than I anticipated and whispered it to me. It caught me off guard. And considering he is a near stranger—yes, I was uncomfortable, but it is perfectly fine without any need for violence, Charles.”

Charles relaxed his grip on the cricket bat he kept at his nightstand, taking a deep breath to try and return to semi-peaceful. It was just him and Edwin, there was no present danger. If Edwin said it’s okay, he should trust him. Charles took another breath before responding, “Right. Well. If he ever does it again and you want to do something about it.”

Edwin’s soft smile returned, “Thank you, Charles. Though I do not believe it will come to that. But yes, that was my research at the time. I believe it was sometime during the infection that you admitted it was all for aesthetic purposes.”

Charles would usually get playfully riled up at that, but he was still keeping that anger bolted down in the basement of his mind so he decided against it. Naturally, he decided to return to jokes instead, “I can’t believe you were researching earrings just in case I was, what, a very late to the party traditional Indian baby? Or decided to pierce my eat instead of telling you I liked blokes? C’mon mate, have more faith in me than that!”

Charles must have said something wrong—Edwin’s fidgeting was back. The soft smile was all but gone, too, “Of course I do, I just— this was a while ago, and I—“ He sighed, running his hands through his usually perfectly gelled hair, looking directly at Charles for only a second, “Charles, I refuse to continue this conversation while you stand there in your boxers.”

Although tempted to poke fun at Edwin for being prudish, that was one of the issues he’d learned not to push—between his fucked up family and his general Edwin-ness, Charles had learned nudity, sex, and the like weren’t well-received. Maybe one of these days they could discuss all of that, but not today. They’d both had quite a lot of Feelings for today.

Charles resumed his usual grin, grabbing what he needed for a shower, “Well I’m showering before we continue, then. Am I all set to use the bathroom?”

Edwin waved him on, replacing his headphones and returning to his homework. Charles took the dismissal without issue and went to take his shower as intended—only stopping to stare at (the earring) himself in the mirror for a tad longer than normal. He’d never regret it based on how cool it looked, obviously, but still. Being kicked around for so long sometimes makes you wonder if it’s be easier to join the team.

Nah, fuck that. Those poor sods can’t even spell aesthetic, let alone understand it. The earring was part of him, and he still cuddled the warm feeling of Edwin’s care to his chest. Going through all that effort—well, not really effort to get flirted with by some bloke called Thomas—to make sure he wasn’t going to hurt Charles’s feelings? For not the first and definitely not the last time, Charles took a second to appreciate it—he really was lucky to have Edwin around.

Meta: Kayne Calling Dennis Collins A Real Anti-Irish Racial Slur Before Graphically Killing Him Is Bad Writing

I would love to hear how it's a necessary artistic choice made in service of the show's medium or themes that Nyarlathotep is a real-world racist in this story

[ndcultureis]

autistic culture is sucking at socalizing but you're told to do it so whenever you try it you're called a weirdo for having your "own world" and called the r slur because i start talking about my special interests instead of what i'm supposed to(idek what i'm supposed to talk about when socializing like sorry not sorry if i'm autistic)
