There’s just no subtlety or smarts to transphobic thought and its a mistake to assign it any. Its a very base and banal thing. Just the manifestation of belief in the base structures of patriarchal heterosexual society and that people should know their place in it

the bait metaphor kinda stops working when they're just murdering people on purpose. the fisherman doesn't have a worm on a hook he has a gun that he's shooting into the water
wooof having watched that presser just now, "don't take the bait" is a real shit thing to tell people who are, by all knowledge and information and evidence, acting in defense of themselves and their neighbors and their communities

In a screeching u-turn from its Manifesto the Government now backs conversion therapy for trans people. That is what 'supporting' trans youth but denying them the medicine they need to physically transition means.

that’s literally the whole project. all of it. they enjoy this & think it’s holy & any solution that doesn’t take that into account fails.

seeing other diy resources blatantly copy from pghrt.diy makes me feel both proud and incredibly smug (it's good because the goal is spreading understanding, but also annoying that they don't always explain the crucial WHY), but also annoying I'M the one who gets bad-faith "ermm source???" criticism

you are not obligated to like every trans book you read but considering your platform I think you *are* obligated to handle it with a little more delicacy than "transwrecks"

you are from this scene, you should know better. this kind of thing can destroy fragile livelihoods.

hey, elected officials? nobody who says anything like revamp or reform or rehabilitate or retrain ICE has my vote. i don't want ICE 2.0. i don't want "hurt and terrorize and murder and abduct my neighbors but in a more socially acceptable way." get them fucking gone and maybe we'll talk

We could have paid teachers at any time.

We could have simply offered a dignified wage to do any of the work we need done at any time.

San Fransisco could be clean right now.

It was always a matter of political will.
