phallocentrism as used against trans women also shows up in porn of us, lingerie made for us, the cis public's obsession with the mechanics of t4t sex, tucking, MTF SRS, and countless media examples of transfemme characters being outed via a humiliating scene of penis revelation.
oh your women-only space doesnt allow trans women? why? male socialization? that can be proven irrelevant simply by asking a cis women if she would want to grow up in a male body with her current brain.
so why are trans women truly barred from so many women-only spaces? phallocentrism.

modern feminism doesnt use the term "phallocentrism" enough. it used to be vogue, especially in discussion of women's sexual rights and discussions around rape culture.
i think it's also extremely useful in discussions of terfism and transmisogyny.

Here are the kids who died in the Uvalde shooting in 2022. These are but a few of the people Charlie Kirk said were acceptable losses so people can keep their guns.

Christ. Fuck this. I don't want to honor Charlie Kirk memory. And actively dishonor that nazi's memory with every second that I am alive longer then he is, happy & joyous as myself - not as a bigot spouting conformity & advocating death. Fuck you Newsom - I really just can't stand this centrist BS.
Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?
Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Call out the hypocrisy.
Trump is ordering flags at half staff for Kirk's murder.
Yet, two months after the murder of MN Speaker Melissa Hortman he's refused to so much as call the Hortman family or Gov Walz, & instead mocked them.
Vile hypocrisy doesn't facilitate peace, it enables more violence.

there's something so sinister about an orientalist, autist-hating, ableist ex-landlord reaching out to an autistic disabled Asian person to share his lie-filled crowdfund on their newsletter........ with them referring to him as a "comrade"

Listen: they make it difficult if not impossible to mitigate the pandemic they refuse to address, which disables you. You can’t work&lose yr job, thus your insurance, so can’t afford the medical help you desperately need. You wrack up credit&medical debt trying, until you cant afford your home—then?

"the study suggests long-term impacts of long COVID on people may be delayed more than we realize. They also may not be recognized in most of the people who have it, so the overall costs and impacts of long COVID on society may be worse than previously thought."
