this illustrates a lot of grief I have with trans community in general, but all collected together. we all have aligned interests, but only alignments of convenience occasionally held together by threads of sheer necessity to survive and desire to ascend. our wounds perpetuate through one another
Wrote an incredibly long and personal essay about what it really means to be a trans man in a — er, I don’t know, a transmisandrist world? A world that actually loves trans men and valorizes us constantly? Whatever people are arguing about nowadays?

The sign from Tallahassee Florida ate this one up. Tallahassee said: no parades, fund Medicaid.
Los Angeles said: if kamala won we would be at brunch

Girl wdc about ur brunch? I didn’t go to brunch once in the Biden/Harris admin. I have long Covid. Brunch. There are people that are dying, Kim.
The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

One form of transmisogyny we don’t talk about enough is the perception that trans women who seek male partners are taking something from cishet women, both by being “deceptive” competition and by “effeminizing” the pool of available men

If you're a gringo invading a city with the Spanish name "Los Angeles," you are invading traditionally Hispanic land, which they took from Native Americans, instead of Hispanics invading YOUR land.

Good rule of thumb:

Cis sexuality discourse reflects the gender anxieties that CIS people have.

Trans sexuality discourse reflects the gender anxieties that TRANS people have.
One thing that's curious about cis discourses on sexuality is that they all seem so petty and needless next to elevated, philosophical trans sexuality discourses about whether or not having curly hair makes you a disgusting pervert freak who is only into women because you're a manly fetishist.

All of us are socialized with transphobia, it takes real work to undo it. Honestly, I've had better conversations about gender with literal children than with cerebral, academic liberal queers trying to talk to me about how transmisogyny is really a fear of men so we should be nicer to them.
Probably a good time to announce how much I hate this meme.

This meme is a lie. I have heard how you all talk about gender! It's not very enlightened at all, actually!

"Whereas cities, to the fascist imagination, are the source of corrupting culture, often produced by Jews and immigrants, the countryside is pure." - Jason Stanley, "How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them."
Los Angeles is a politically useful target for the Trump administration in the same way that Harvard and Columbia are useful targets.

It's a potent symbol of a Bad Thing to their base.

One of the things that's actually impressive about the discourse On Here these past couple days is that no one was wringing their hands over the burnt waymos or rocks dropped on cop cars. Apparently if you're a white suburban liberal, a Mexican flag is more threatening than a burnt cop car

Two years ago, I asked a simple question: why is it so hard to find trans books?

The answer, apparently, has always been fascism.

Haven't seen this show up here - the Madleen responded to a Mayday call today from a refugee ship. 4 people jumped from the refugee ship rather than be taken by a notorious Libyan Coast Guard ship, Tareq Bin Zayed.

The Madleen crew rescued all 4.

Hello! I am a public librarian. PLEASE do this. Library administrative offices are the exact damn same as any other corporate office: they live and die by written customer feedback. Tell them with your words that Pride matters to you. Please. *Please.*
hey here's something I would love us all to do like RIGHT NOW: find out if your local library is doing any kind of pride programming or display, and if they are, email them to say thank you and why it matters to you. whether or not you're queer. especially if you're in an area where it's fraught

So this is actually a relevant and fairly good book (for what it is and what it's trying to say, at any rate) that actually heavily draws on Lenin's "Imperialism" (without citing it directly, because a Lenin citation would instantly scare the people it's trying to reach.)

There's a point here.
