Epistemicide is going on in the USA atm. Ressources, knowledge and access are destroyed with the primary goal of complete eradication of marginalized communities.
Post by taliabhattwrites: Epistemicide" is a term you should become very familiar with in all discussions regarding trans oppression. It sounds fancier than it is. The term is related to the concept of epistemic injustice. In essence, trans people have historically been subject to a form of epistemicide: our stories, histories, testimonials, ways of life, all erased and buried to maintain the patriarchal myth of dichotomous, naturalized, immutable sex. We are then further marginalized through epistemic injustice, prevented from participating in the processes of knowledge-production, our testimonies devalued, our voices suppressed and our identities defined for us, not by us. The perception of us shaped by others, instead of ourselves. The conversation about us dominated by the voices of those who'd rather stamp us out, shouting over us constantly. If you're not accounting for this as a central mechanism animating transphobia, you're missing a lot of the picture.

See this quote tweet for example:
Tweet from Musk at 1:41 in the morning of 2. September 2024, writing „interesting observation“ with quote tweeting Autism Capital, which writes „Also known as the Reich effect“ above a screenshot from a 4C post, saying: „People who can't defend themselves physically (women and low T men) parse information through a consensus filter as a safety mechanism. They literally do not ask "is this true", they ask "will others be OK with me thinking this is true". This makes them very malleable to brute force manufactured consensus; if every screen they look at says the same thing they will adopt that position because their brain interprets it as everyone in the tribe believing it. Only high T alpha males and aneurotypical people (hey autists!) are actually free to parse new information with an objective "is this true?" filter. This is why a Republic of high status males is best for decision making. Democratic, but a democracy only for those who are free to think.“

My new tattoo. I got at the end of November this year.

As queer crip person, I now wear this deeply held conviction on my skin.

If you’re curious the why …
Black and white picture of the upper back from Romy (romluras) showing the tattoo, saying „normal is killing us“ in a cyberpunk-esque font, divided in three lines. Top says „normal is“, filled out in black, middle says „killing“ with a metal-like shading and „us“ at the bottom, with a light shading at the lower left and upper right corners of the individual letters.

One of my adored movie characters, that I also continue to resonate with, is Project 2501 from Ghost in the Shell (1995). Especially this scene.
Screenshot from the anime Ghost in the Shell (1995). A big round machine in the back, framing the head of a feminine head with long, bright hair, looking stoic at the viewer. Everything is held in a bright grey blue tint color spectrum.
