In ain’t one to draw a perspective grid and then place figures in it; it’s never worked for me. So here’s my method!

[thegreatmeddler]

Weapon idea: a retro-causality pistol, loaded with bullets made of justification. When you fire it at someone, it changes history to provide a reason for you to have shot them.

Finally, you've killed the man who murdered your wife. But was she dead before you pulled the trigger? You will never know.

Why The Titties Cannot Come Back Until FOSTA-SESTA Goes Away

It's the reason for the porn ban across the internet, it's the reason Net Neutrality is gone, and it has, as the sex worker community tried to tell us, harmed sex workers and doesn't help trafficking go away at all--particularly because of the vague wording and broad definitions, all it really does is ban porn, harrass the queer community, and censor all talk about sexuality into silence--and silence does not make safety. There is now a study about its effects, and sex workers weren't consulted or listened to about its flaws.

If you want the internet to stop censoring queer content, FOSTA-SESTA has to go.

If you want tumblr and other websites to have porn again, FOSTA-SESTA has to go.

If you want algospeak to stop being the norm, FOSTA-SESTA HAS TO GO.

There is NOTHING that tumblr staff can do without this law being gone.

There is NOTHING that any moderator, website, or app can do without Net Neutrality being reinstated and iron-clad again.

Did you all forget what caused the porn ban in the first place? It was not a random decision every company made overnight.

It was FOSTA-SESTA.

Freedom of speech is called Net Neutrality online, and until 2018, Net Neutrality was sacrosanct.

We must have Net Neutrality back if we are to have the freedom to speak online.

If you are queer, you must fight for Net Neutrality. If you have opinions about anything, you must fight for your right to say them. FOSTA-SESTA TOOK THAT FROM YOU. TOOK IT FROM US ALL.

If you want things to change, don't whine to staff on tumblr, don't boycott Tiktok.

you must get political. you must organise to remove FOSTA-SESTA from the books. You must clamour, and holler, and write your politicians and raise up the voices of sex workers and VOTE to protect your free speech.

Pornography and sex work are inextricable from freedom of speech. The right of pornography and sex work to exist is inextricable from the rights of queer folks. If you do not fight to protect your right to 'dirty books' and uphold 'rule 34' they will come after YOU next. They already are coming after queers just like they always do when a ban on porn is involved! It will escalate until it comes after EVERYONE.

I cannot emphasise enough that all this censorship increasing since 2018 is connected to the porn ban. It is the same oppressive and harmful legislation causing it.

GET RID OF FOSTA-SESTA.

It is harming sex workers, even killing them.

It is harming trafficking victims.

It is harming all of us, queer and straight, adults and children, it is harming everybody by taking away our freedom of speech.

Get rid of it.

The more I think about it, the more that I think that we really fail at understanding queerness in a way that's necessary for our liberation when we fail to understand that there really is no difference between transness and the rest of queerness. Trans isn't a different kind of queer, especially not to the people on the outside who are trying to keep us from living whole, healthy, full lives.

There's a desire to say that LGBQA folx are queer because of their sexual orientation and trans, non-binary, genderqueer, two-spirit etc. people are queer because of their gender, and to put a clean line between these two "ways" of being queer, but that doesn't actually address the way in which we are seen, nor does it lend itself to a coherent single argument against discrimination which addresses directly both the protections within United States law and the way in which bigots view us. By this I mean that all 2SLGBTQIA+, queer and trans people "wrongly perform" our sex as assigned at birth, and it is this conflict between assigned sex and the way that we live which gives rise to discrimination and hate aimed at us.

The idea that there is One Right Way for a person who was assigned a particular way at birth to behave is why both discrimination against lesbians and discrimination against trans people is sex-based discrimination.

Society says that if you were assigned male at birth, you will dress a certain way, you will act a certain way, you will speak a certain way, you will use certain pronouns,

and you will marry someone who dresses, acts, speaks, and was assigned a certain way.

Society says that if you were assigned female at birth, you will dress, act, speak, wed, live, procreate, etc. in certain ways. To insist that someone behave a certain way based on their assigned sex or Face Consequences is sex-based discrimination. This is the legal theory behind most of the recent queer rights rulings by the Supreme Court. Whether the behavior in question is a cishet woman wearing pants, a woman wishing to wed another woman, or a trans woman wishing to live comfortably in her proper gender, there is a conflict between how society thinks we should live according to our assigned sex and how we do live.

Personally I kinda think that we went really awry when we separated out transness from sexuality in talking about theory. Whether someone is ace, pan, lesbian, or gay -- what they're doing is "performing their gender wrong." When we examine the ways in which society views us as aberrant, it is hard to avoid the truth that not only are we viewed as defective because of our assigned sex vs our behavior, but that understanding that truth is absolutely imperative for our actual liberation.

And honestly, when we look at queer theory in that lens, it becomes VERY clear why transphobes don't WANT us to look at gender and sexuality in that way. They want a very clear line between Gay and Trans because acknowledging the truth that we're all Gender Traitors scares them.
