Unpopular opinion: 1. In a secular country there should be no M area.
2. If you are getting provoked and attacking then FFS you aren't a persecuted minority. A persecuted minority would stay silent in fear of retaliation.
it went half alright. they sort of think i can be "fixed" but I told them I feel pretty secure and confident in my identity and that I am not confused
they wanna talk to my psych which seems nice & i have to give them the time to get in the right headspace
either get dehumanized & be treated like an undesirable "person" or be desired but the desire is just fetishization and we are forced to accept that. i hate the "trans inclusive misogyny" shit & whenever we fight back we get the "know your place" reaction
@bloomfilters
you're always very succinct. also I think a great (and much more visible) example is of cis women, the existence of goddesses in Hinduism and the deification of women in rituals in general but also w.r.t fertility and how that plays into oppressing and exploiting them
The s*nghis are s*nghing in the MH education ministry, they removed English as a compulsory subject for 11th/12th, and are now adding shlokas and bhagvat gita with plans for manusmruti???? Hello?? Wtf
this is important. people, for e.g., love dunking on transphobic cis dudes (see musk) by saying they're getting gender affirming surgeries but transphobes have 0 qualms with not allowing trans people to receive the same care cis people are. it is intentional.
sometimes it isn't even hidden that these are treated differently. utah's anti-trans bill explicitly included an exception of banning breast surgery for teens to allow cis teenage girls to get augmentation and exclusively target trans teens.
Born atheist

became anti-hindu

read 1 (one) page of Hegel's logic

became trans & atheist
i get their intention but I don't get this reliance on law, it's not like transphobes will shut up if you show them the law (not like they'd shut up with any other argument anyway)
what if trans ppl's rights weren't recognized? that doesn't make trans people any less legitimate
indian women on twitter starter pack:

i believe varun dhawan is a closeted non-binary & it is SO fucking disrespectful of dhawanies to assume varun goes by he/him. like address varun as they/them… varun has never confirmed their pronouns are he/him… it’s really not that hard to be fucking respectful. 👍🏼
Indian civilization has a long history of inclusiveness regarding gender. However, the woke alphabet ideology promoting a pseudo-scientific view of gender is in conflict with both science and Indian ethos. It is concerning that Western corporations, especially tech and social
this tweet is probably a diaspora thing but like for me, the culture/religion I grew up with apart from being casteist as fuck was also transphobic/heteronormative that I could never imagine myself participating in it without also invalidating my queerness
it's crazy that white queers think other queers that are from an ethnic/racial minority would give up their ethnicity/race or put their queerness over it. like im sorry to tell you this but none of us gives a fuck abt being queer as much as we do about our ethnic/racial+
dear trans women, ummm before u transition have u considered that perhaps u think ur trans because of ur unchecked misandry.... something to think about...
it's so jarring for me to read people from the west, especially queer people, talk about astrology positively when in india it's used to k/ll and oppress, like I knew this before but seeing it in action on twitter is definitely an experience
@moonlit_misfit
terfs dni in bio is the funniest shit ever like yes these people with such hateful politics is gonna look at that and be like "aww I won't interact then" but ofc if your spaces have a "terf problem" maybe you need to look inward
Remember, trans lesbians are lesbians too.
Let's uplift and honour EVERY expression of love and identity!

@free_equal
i think the "it's just a phase" crowd to harmfully invalidate queerness did a lot of damage. people' reaction was to make their identity concrete and permanent for it to be seen as genuine but tbh queerness is v fluid and changes over time.
atp not even asking people to understand the implications of "agab" terminology re: bioessentialism etc., but at the bare minimum can you expand that acronym to see if your sentence makes any grammatical sense??? do you even know it's an acronym for something??
@bloomfilters
also a lot of trans women are unable to recognize stuff that happened to them before they realized they were trans as misogyny or harm & have internalized it as something completely normal/deserved
this type of message especially makes us helpless to understand our past struggles
have you ever met an actor? a musician? worse, a writer? people just hate software engineers making a personality out of their work bec most do not understand their work.
people refuse to understand that it's frustrating not because it happens once but because it happens repeatedly, intentionally
+ she didn't even ask to be called ma'am like maybe if you don't know then just use gender neutral language?? not that difficult to drop the sir/ma'am
i am dreading what coming out to my parents will be like. i can't imagine them accepting. i can't even imagine them understanding what i mean.
they're so conservative, the idea of accepting trans people is antithetical to most of their beliefs, it'd short circuit their brains.
i praise jesus on here once yesterday and this is how the universe answers back to me today, perhaps this is a sign from the lord and saviour Jesus Christ himself???
personally I support trans women posting their exp because that's the only way I know when something is dangerous or not because my creep radar is broken & I think it's the same for many transfems because of how we're treated & how we're expected to respond (e.g. be a doormat)

As an Indian institution, Ola is for genuine actions on diversity. We run one of the largest women only automotive plants. Not 1 out of 10 lines, or a small section, but the whole plant! Almost 5000 women now and will grow to tens of
you know, I feel the moment you've moved past talking about settler violence and already bought into involving in discourse on condemning or not condemning whatever violence (real or made up) the settlers are talking about happening to them, they've already done their job
one frustrating thing about coming out is the other people are mourning the death of a person I don't care about and I am joyous for the person they don't care about
is hinduphobia actually a serious word used in the context of bangladesh, pakistan etc. by academics/activists etc. talking about anti-hindu stuff?
to me it seems like a word with disingenuous origins used as rhetorical cudgel here even though it may factually apply there
