the genderkoolaid guy has done irreparable damage to the tumblr trans community by convincing one thousand obnoxious white transmascs who don't know how axis of oppression work and *totally* have real life transfem friends and friends of color/black friends and intersex friends that masculinity is under attack and its (trans)women thats doing it like that doesn't at all sound like that one pragerU vid about how trans people were taking your boys and ruining white masculinity. your posts on transmisogyny + tphobia are like the only good ones please keep it up

god yeah ey're so annoying. I put em in my filtered words list so I don't have to see eir stupid ass posts on my dash when they breach containment from that circle. it's one of the big pushers for "transunitism" too which is funny when you consider the fact that it only ever seems to talk about transphobia aimed at afab trans people and only reblogs posts from its transandrophobia truther besties.

something I also find incomprehensible about eir ideology is that ey assert misogyny and antimasculism are both pervasive societal forces. if society hates both femininity and masculinity so much, why is there still a rigidly enforced gender binary? it doesn't make any sense, but it doesn't have to. if ey didn't make that assertion, then transandrophobia would have no ground to stand on, so make it ey must, and thousands of self-hating resentful transmascs with no understanding of intersectionality will flock to it.

I'm glad you like my posts! I'm just a dedicated yuri soldier doing my sworn duty. o7

Not My Intended Audience

People:

Who make their diagnosis their entire identity, especially people who self-diagnose their entire identity and thereafter use it as an excuse/a conversation starter/conversation ender

Who simply repost about Palestine without doing anything more than that, especially people who repost unsourced things

Who then go on to make Palestine another cornerstone of their identity alongside their diagnosis, again without research, context, attempts to connect with others, debate, or engage

Who repost Palestine GoFundMe's without vetting them and thinking they're doing god's work

Who don't critically engage with their trans identity or question those cosplaying moments when we're striving for attributes that are part of the binary problem

Who go out of their way looking for transphobia as a self-sabotaging ploy at victimhood when we know tphobia is everywhere and much more dangerous than the gas station attendant's rapid, incorrect read of a body. This is a war not a battle. Let's stop falling on our swords. It's easy to find tslurs. Let's not do the phobes work for them.

Bridgerton

A few Bridgerton spoilers but they are overshadowed really

A lot of people don't really like the fact that Penelope and Colin are gonna have the spotlight next episode and that's okay. I personally felt like they could have used a bit more chemistry but that's most likely what this next season is about.

I want to talk about how people are getting mad that some people don't really like the pairing and is calling us fatphobic for not.liking the pair when that is not the case. Don't get mad because we don't like the fact that Penelope outed Marina when she could have just told Colin secretly, how she hurt Eloise and tried to play victim, and a plethora of other things that would make it reasonable as of why we don't like the match; clearly.

So that fatphobia claim is really hanging on by a thread when you look at all the dumb shit she did and the reason why a good bit of fans don't like her.

[wyvern-of-the-evening]

People believed in Goblins as far back as the 14th century and depicted them in this way. The only reason you’re trying to tack on anti-semitism and racism is because you know no one would care about alleged, and non existent Tphobia.

People really do just be throwing around the world anti-Semitism to demonise The Hogwarts Legacy game. It's so clear that they don't give a fuck about Jewish people, because if they did they would challenge their own biases.

If you see a goblins, (which was designed by the movie team and not JKR btw), which are responsible for a bank and immediately think Jew, that's you being anti semitic. You are the one applying Jewish stereotypes to these mythical characters. These characters are not represented poorly either. The goblins are good at their jobs and they are not shown negatively.

Nevermind the allegory for racial purity running throughout the whole Harry Potter series through the death eaters and Voldemort. Who is the villain and never portrayed in a sympathetic light. No, her main theme and criticism of that view doesn't matter.

The gendies desperately claw at the pages of her books looking for anything they can grab onto to make her look worse. They know that their claims of transphobia wouldn't hold up if anyone actually bothered to look into them properly. So they need something that is established to demonise her further.

“ultimate!otto is the only otto that really does it for me”

huh. wonder why that is.

[sanvlisaloni]

fat is not a bad word. fat is a describing word. it's like "oh, you're small! you're fat! you have brown eyes! you're wearing red lipstick!"

it's just another word. then why does it sound like an insult when she says it while i'm in my corner minding my own business and eating cake.

I just got soft banned from twitter for 12 hours for calling someone a cunt

[choptop-sawyer]

it's so funny to me that ur britphobic when i just so happened to stroll in here one day WIF ME BESS FAKE BRI-ISH OCCENT, MOAYTE !!! 😂 -FB the OG

Believe me, fake br*t, I hated them bastards long before you ever arrived. Them... Those pasty mfers. They arrived one day, from distant shores. They burned my crops, kidnapped my opossum, and laughed in my face. But worst of all, they stole the tea. The sacred lifeblood. And now they sit around, claiming THEY are the tea experts, all while worshipping a queen who just smiles, rich off of blood money and tbh should be dead rn let's be honest. What's going on, it's suspicious.

But at least the cockney accent is funny af amirite.

I’m gonna be honest for 2.5 seconds and delete this post when I feel ranting to the internet void has satisfied me. 

There’s been for years, in the body positive community, this idea of fatness in “comfortable” levels. There are these archetypes of “comfortable fatness” that are seen under a mostly positive light, if they fall under certain socially constructed categories which make them more “palatable” to the mainstream. They aren’t accepted, but they’re more comfortable for this mainstream to see. 

For example, back when this conversation started gaining traction, there was this trend of fatshionistas. Those among them who were rising to fame were always cis white able bodied women with a specific brand of feminine presentation, which included retro sundresses, corsets and other alternative-rockabilly fashions. Most often than not, these same models did a lot of lingerie photoshoots, burlesque photoshoots and nudes with that sort of alternative-retro flair, with a sensual/erotic charge. 

This doesn’t mean those bodies aren’t valid, this is not to undermine anyone who’s been in this category, it means that the idea of “acceptable fatness”, or of acceptable “attractive” fatness, started to be circumscribed to ideas of presentation and exposure that not all fat bodies were willing to fit into. Circa 2011 you could be closer to being accepted, beside all the thin girls in galaxy tanks and jean shorts on tumblr, if you fit this criteria, is what I mean.

Back in the day, when Meghan Trainor released All About That Bass, there was an uproar. Tumblr mostly argued the song under the idea that it was sexist, which it is, but they never mentioned that there have been, and continue to be, sexist songs by thin singers who never had as much backlash, even contemporary to Trainor’s. 

But behind most arguments, the same thing came popping back up: the song said “skinny bitches”. 

There was this massive backlash because of that single thing, more so than of the subject of internalized sexism and the male gaze as validation, to the point that a thin girl got viral making a cover where she replaced the song with an “all bodies” message. 

Because the body positive movement, which at its start had mostly talks about fatness and about differently abled bodies, needs to accommodate thin able bodied people in order to even speak. 

[I once got an anon, by the way, pitching Trainor and Mary Lambert against each other, because I made gifsets of Mary’s songs, while Meghan and Mary had been performing together, and whether or not you like Meghan Trainor, there’s room in the music industry for more than one singer who sings about not being thin, among other stuff. Just saying.] 

Now fast forward to Lizzo. 

I got to know about Lizzo a while back and I’ve been loving her ever since. Lizzo has spoken up about her music not being fat positive specifically, it’s positive to her and she’s a fat black woman, so whoever feels empowered, great, but it’s her identity the one portrayed in her music, as it should be, especially when it’s an identity that gets underrepresented. 

And Lizzo has a song with Missy Elliott where she says “skinny hoes”, and this time around, the reaction was different. 

Instead of demanding Lizzo to speak for “all bodies”, thin people, even fatphobic people, are using Lizzo as their “comfortable fatness” level. Lizzo is empowering and positive, Lizzo is powerful and beautiful. Lizzo is talented and valid. But it’s just her. And not even her as a person, her as an idea, as an icon for what’s useful for them. 

What Lizzo says about empowerment, they appropriate as long as it’s convenient to them, but they don’t translate it to the way they treat fat people irl, or the way they perceive fatness, even less the intersectional categorization of fatness and race. 

Lizzo’s words are empowering on a vacuum to them, not in application. Lizzo is safe to watch from afar and see her as valid and pretty and worthy of admiration because she’s “brave”, and she’s brave because she dares to be fat and proud. 

I see on the daily people in my life, people on twitter, people on here, waxing poetic about Lizzo while not acknowledging their fatphobic views or questioning themselves at all. Lizzo is out there making what she needs to feel good while thin cis girls on twitter demand her to lift their spirits and make them feel beautiful too, asking her to give them confidence.  

They are comfortable with Lizzo’s fatness because they only see the result of her body positive journey so far, but they are unwilling to acknowledge that, to get there, she and bodies and like hers had to fight against views propelled by people like them. 

Lizzo learned how to be confident despite bodies like theirs being upheld and worshiped and now they’re asking Lizzo for confidence tips, without understanding that the bodies they treat like crap on the daily are the ones Lizzo’s speaking about. 

Basically what I mean is miss me with your Lizzo appreciation if you’re unable to also appreciate the bodies of those around you which Lizzo’s art speaks for.
