hi, itd be cool if you helped my disabled boyfriend survive the summer so he can finish uni. at the least, a secondhand PC so he can do art comms and get money would help. deadline for this is september but its always ongoing, literally anything would help
need electroshock therapy so i can stop remembering being the only black person in a white polycule and when i met them, they all petted me like a dog cuz my hair was ‘fluffy’ and ‘good autism texture’
*trans person who’s around people who misgender them constantly voice* yeah, you know, i just dont really care about my gender or how people refer to me or see me. im jusy me, like, you can call me she or he or they or whatever i dont really care haha, my genders up to you lol
i just learnt that my boyfriend, who has been on t for a while now, has indeed had his voice drop, he just automatically pitches up when he’s with me because he really likes me and gets nervous around me 😭😭
for those who dont know his story, richard okorogheye was a 19 year old went missing on march 22nd, 2021. when his mother called the police, they told her ‘If you can’t find your son, how do you expect us to?’ he was found dead 2 weeks later in a pond in epping forest
i wish nd ppl remembered that other nd ppl with higher support needs existed so i wouldnt need to see inane takes like ‘if youre nd and live with ur caregivers, youre privileged cuz some ppl r forced to make it work alone’ some of us would just die, first of all
no im really thinking about it, pose being a show full of trans women PLAYED by trans women WRITTEN by a trans woman and the trans community on here barely talks about it because theyre all black 😭😭
before you go qrting with ‘you just hate butches of colour’ remember youre talking to a black masc lesbian 🙏🏾 i love that rep, this just does not resonate with me n doesnt change the historical masculinisation of woc!!
whats this obsession with you guys trying to normalise nazi phases. especially if you did that shit, you of all people should understand how damaging it is to pretend was normal. terrorising minorities is not normal.
DRC 🇨🇩 independence day gfm thread!! with the atrocities being carried out in the east and the general ravaging of the country via (neo)colonialism, funds are needed. please donate if you have it and share if you don’t have the means!! 🧵
can y'all not? testosterone isn't some fun thing to try. and with the influx of trans identified females wanting to try it out, it only makes it that much harder for biological males who genuinely need it to get access to it. thanks for that.
firing shots in the air to keep my following clear: trans women arent male socialised, female/male socialisation isnt real in the first place, trans women experience (trans)misogyny prior to self actualising and coming out
i find it funny when ppl r like ‘im doing slur reclamation’ and then just use the slur as an insult against other ppl who the slur applies to. damn u really reclaimed that slur and immediately launched it in a slingshot, good job ig
gonna be some bullshit interaction with someone posting some shit like ‘all women should be in the kitchen’ or ‘black ppl are monkeys’ someone goes ‘i dont think thats right’ and some dickhead qrts with this
i hate that i know the word ‘puriteen’. truly, i trust very little that comes outta the mouth of anyone who says that, my brain immediately switches off
the reason why a lot of white trans people can be annoying is that theyre purely as left and clued into oppression as being transgender requires them to be. that lets other things fester within communities e.g. antiblackness, ableism, etc
also for those curious, i was there cuz i was dating one person and just happened to meet metamours n shit, i wasnt consciously trying to be the only black person 😭😭 i just generally mind my business about other partners + i live in a low black population country, like 2%
i will say that some of the vitriol ppl have for me cuz of this is purely cuz u dont wanna sit with the discomfort that something u like might use harmful tropes. im not stopping u from reading anything, im allowed to critique a trope, i dont need to be ‘grateful’
richard had sickle cell and was shielding through the pandemic. he should have been a high priority case but was dismissed. black people in the uk are 14% of missing people, 4x the relative amount of people leaving here. we’re less likely to be marked at risk than white people
i think its unfair to act as if queer ppl are wary of radfems in particular purely because of antifeminism and not that terfs have been calling themselves radfems while being the justification for stripping us of rights, esp in places like the uk. ppl will indeed be wary of that.
reading yuri isnt reading feminist theory btw. and im just saying this cuz some himejins r getting very vitriolic on here, mirroring misogynistic tropes about women when it comes to the superority of yuri (not as a joke) n maybe its time to cool it.
‘well some of us have to cuz our family is abusive’ some disabled ppl r left dependent on abusive family and are vulnerable to paying the ultimate price for that. i dont think i see that as a privilege!
also, okay, now people are shocked i was in a polyamorous relationship at 14 😭😭 there are teens who r doing polyamory you know!! especially the queer ones have more of a chance at this!!
im glad everyone agrees with me that he is adorable!! thought id add on that this is the same person who looks nervous before we kiss every single time although we have been kissing for 3 years now. he also handmade me a plush of my fav obscure chara cuz he knew theres no merch!!
things like this reveal to me that some ppl dont get that there is no ‘just make it work’ for some nd ppl. you just die. ‘make it work’ isnt even in the cards.
black people in this country have a habit of disappearing and reappearing dead in bodies of water and yet we barely get any of the media coverage. missing white woman syndrome very much prevails - we are not a priority
my lovely boyfriend made this fund for our trans surgeries. if youd like to donate to two black disabled trans ppl who already struggle for basics, any little bit adds up :) proceeds would go first to his top surgery, then my bottom surgery!!
#MutualAid
racism in the trans community kills trans ppl of colour, esp transfems n women as in not just heightened risk of being murdered but also via slow alienation in our own space freezing us out of resources, emotional support, understanding. when shit goes wrong, who do we have?
lovely sentiment, just wish that it didn’t tie transmasc lesbians to being butches or studs automatically cuz it feels like its missing transfem studs n butches!! i just feel like i see this conflation a lot
neil gaiman claiming autism made him sexually assault makes me think of the autistic MaGes, all of varying support needs, who are more vulnerable to being sexually assaulted due to their disability. how does autism make a gender more predatory and another more vulnerable?
discoruse about transfem hcs the worst because everyday someone comes up with a new way to say that trans women are regressive actually and its more progressive to be a gnc cys person as if trans ppl arent inherently gnc whether presenting masc, fem or andro 🧍🏾
its kinda annoying how a lot of enstars transfem hcs r like "this character is pink and likes Girl Things they must be Girl!" like are we rlly bringing back gender roles? boys like "girl things" too? its bothered me abt shu for a long time but i feel like im gonna get eaten alive
u see someone tweeting about how their basic feminist talking points r getting them called a terf, are sympathetic, check their account and its all about genital preference and how lesbians without it arent real lesbians lol.
okay what im learning from this tweet i didnt think would blow up is that a lot of yuri fans are colourist and/or racist. purely cuz the vitriolic response is kinda bizzare!! like damn, it doesnt resonate with me, whatever, the black masc lesbian doesnt like it
the transmisosynistic trope of a the guy who looks exactly like a girl and dresses as such but vehemently denies being a girl and inisists that he's def always a boy really sucks. i remember being younger and feeling some kinship with that trope cuz it was new for me to see+
also i hope this is the last i say but no, i am not ashamed of being a 14 yr old who had a freeze reaction to racism after meeting a partner irl for the first time after months
i only wanna say this to quotes - i have 0 shame admitting to this bcs im not the one that did something fucked up and shameful, white ppl did. when i said met, i mean meet irl, the relationship was months in so ofc i didnt know. why should i feel bad for some shit other ppl did
we talk about trans men and mascs and pregnancy, how the threat of it can be wielded but i think we’d also be remiss not to remember that transphobes genuinely hate it and find it disgusting when trans men+mascs do get pregnant. they revile our bodies and wax about damaging kids
it is a bit uncomfortable to make a statement as mild as trans men and c1s men’s manhood being different and get hit with ‘trans men are men’. it just feels dismissive + like acknowledging trans men r treated diff invalidates their manhood inherently?
transphobia is hard and socially pressures people who would be a lot freer and looser with gender otherwise. a real shame but some of us relent to the unending pressure
it’s crazy how many people i knew in college who used to be they/them or they/she have now gone back in the other direction a half step to they/she or just she/her. and it’s not transfems and transmascs either it’s just the nonbinary. not sure whether this is good or bad yet
i would not have said ‘more’ here. absolutely true gay men deal with so much gendered violence and bullying. ‘more’ is where a lot of ppl are rankled bcs trans ppl n lesbians n bisexuals r absolutely punished about this too.
some of you are unwilling to hear or accept that many, many “cis gay men” experience more gendered violence, bullying, and discipline growing up in response to perceived effeminacy than many other El Gee Bee Teas, especially if they are minoritized in any other way
it’s actually canon that anzu was scared of keito because he reminded her a lot of sakura (girl on the left) who was one of the main girls who caused her transfer through rampant bullying. the more you know
if youre a white person who thinks that intersectionality is only used as a dogwhistle to defend men’s right to patriarchy, im gonna think youre racist, im sorry
a theory about transmascs and men should incorporate those not on t, never on t or with any surgery as much as it incorporates someone 7 years on t with top and bottom surgery
love reminding ppl of when ruri tried to fucking kill the protag of engirls and its not a fake out, she genuinely picks up a piece of glass and threatens to hit his carotid artery to make him bleed out and die
47-year-old transsexual drag queen clocking her starbucks barista: omg yassss you look so fish gorge<3
the 19-year-old twitter transfem barista: i-is that 4chan speak? p,,please stop being so brainwormed toward me ,,,,,,
from what ive seen from terfs, their anti-transmasculinity is expressed via 2 avenues: invisibilising transmascs and forcing them into womanhood to argue for their supposed liberation or declaring them gender traitors who have chosen the role and side of the oppressor
is victimhood social capital? do people rally around victims? offer them support or understanding? stopped expecting them to ‘get over it’ in under a week? this strikes me as disingenuous, esp when u specify queer ppl who ofc typically have many reasons to cut off their family
