#intersectional activism

[ash-the-fluffy-cat]

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say black lives matter

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say disabled lives matter

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say First Nations lives matter

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say neurodivergent lives matter

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say women’s health matters

You don’t get to say queer lives matter if you don’t say ANY other marginalized communities’ lives matter

Intersectional identities are here and won’t go away

I haven't heard people talking about this much, but I feel like it's important for people to know. Especially since SB 63 essentially bans bail funds by not allowing organizations, charities, individuals, or groups to bail out more than three people per year and requiring them to register as bonding agencies.

This is a direct response to all the protests happening here in Atlanta. So far, spreading the word can help as well as donating to The Atlanta Solidarity Fund .

In the meantime, here's some phone numbers of politicians you can go bug.

Randy Robertson (Guy who's sponsoring the bill): +1-404-656-0045

Brian Kemp (Governor of Georgia): +1-404-656-1776

True freedom will not be a possibility until everyone understands that all oppression is interconnected, and none of us can be free until we are all free.

Today's hot take:

Men... Can be oppressed.

They can be men of color, or disabled, or queer, or Jewish, or poor, etc.

"Men aren't oppressed" is a nonsense statement. Being a man does not exempt men from being marginalized in other ways.

Heartbreaking: The Feminist Post You Were About To Reblog Was Made By a TERF

radfems dni, this ain’t the place you wanna be

“but what if HRT is making trans disabled peoples conditions worse??” Idk what if a cis abled person consumed alcohol? Or hit a vape? Or never ate veggies? Would you butt in and be condescending about that too?

Are you disabled? HRT user? no?? Cool then stfu and stop trying to disguise your ignorance and prejudice as concern

I love it when anti-Israel dingbats try to say that "Palestine is a queer issue!" and argue that all LGBT people and all leftists should be anti-Israel because of the "intersectionality" between gay rights and Palestinian rights, or when anti-Israel dingbats try to argue that "Palestine is an indigenous issue/colonization issue" because they're in favor of indigenous land-back movements until an indigenous land-back movement succeeds.

Yeah, people with various different identities have different experiences than people who aren't those things. But that doesn't mean that we need to center the discussion on Palestine every time people are trying to advance the rights of other disadvantaged groups (see: the Women's March organizers). Being a minority in multiple aspects doesn't mean you're obligated to take a strong stance in adherence to the organizers of your movement on every other situation. And it's not helping your case here (not that you have a defendable thesis to begin with).

I'm an autistic disabled ADHD lesbian female religious indigenous-to-Eretz-Yisrael Jew. Sounds like an intersectional identity to me. But the anti-Zionist crowd chooses to ignore any viewpoint that could challenge their argument, while saying they support LGBT rights, feminism, indigenous rights, disability rights, and the rights of minority religions. There's no intersectional progressiveness in supporting a terrorist regime that slaughters women, LGBT people, religious minorities, and the indigenous inhabitants of the land.

Remember; you do not have to be white to uphold white supremacy, and you do not have to be a man to uphold the patriarchy.

Growing up as a trans person of colour is odd, because we're hardly ever acknowledged, let alone centred in conversations. I think a massive symptom of this is how many of us have 'white' names, as our chosen names.

I'll use myself as an example, but i've noticed this as a growing trend. My chosen name, until recently, was 'Scarlet' and i got this from the world i was raised in. Its objectively a white name, with white roots, for an Arab woman. (Currently I'm trying out Yasmeen instead).'

And then this is used against us, because we are frequently assumed to be white. People judge online communities and are like 'you're white', trans communities are white, etc. But the only reason we even have these names is because of these attitudes.

Its annoying.

The South River Watershed Alliance is having an entire week of divestment for corporations supporting Cop City! They will be having toolkits and webinars all week open to everyone not just people in Atlanta!! Here's the link to either host or attend an action. We need everyone's help to Stop Cop City!!!

100%. One of the things that I’ve learned being an undiagnosed afro-latina girl with ADHD and possibly autism as well is that we will NEVER TRULY be able to safely unmask the way that white people are able to do so. They don’t have to worry about constantly being seen as a threat or dangerous compared to us. 

And that’s just dealing with outside our community. Our own community is so much worse. Ableism is so frequent and normalized that it’s actually disgusting. Black/POC kids who are overstimulated and having meltdowns are often told by their parents that a "whooping" is what they need to stop their behaviour. It actually makes me sick to my stomach. There's so much more that our community needs to work on but that's not gonna happen anytime soon 💔

Protect pagan kids!

Reblog if you agree.

white feminism has never been about freeing and empowering women, its about gaining the same power as white men

In my time on this site, I have often seen radical feminists (of the trans-exclusionary persuasion) complain about trans women presenting themselves in ways that enforce caricatures and stereotypes of women and femininity.

My response to this, however, is: why is the full blame for this being placed on said trans women instead of on the patriarchal systems that skew everyone’s perception of what it means to be a woman?
