You have done a photo-op, pretending to do something about transphobia, when you actually haven't, so don't play victim when the people, whose interests you have pretended to serve, call you out on participating in actually harming them.

because the policy you uphold in brianna ghey's name doesn't only affect her or her mother, but they are intended to affect the community and are directed to and marketed for the community. And these policies don't do anything but give cis people the feeling of keeping us save.

literally no one in the trans community thinks that phone use is to blame for the transphobia that led to brianna ghey's murder. trans people very much have a stake in the policy questions you propose to supposedly keep them safe and have a right to say when you are erring.

This is not a single random person on bluesky, but from the reactions you can see, that it is literally tons of trans people. And so far I have not seen a single trans person defending this, so it's not like this is a question that is not settled within the community.

Her mother has a right to express her grievances and she has a right to have an opinion about what should be done to solve this problem, but you cannot ignore when her opinion stands in straight opposition to most of the trans community.

That is a question of concrete content that Brianna Ghey's mother has no special expertise in and people here are saying, that there is no significant relation. So, pretending that this adresses the root causes of transphobic murders, is at least pseudo-activity.

Adress the content of the criticizm, instead of hiding behind some rationale that has nothing to do with it. Do you think or do you not think, that there is a concrete relation between phone use and the specific transphobic murder in question?

and it positions the mother's authority over any other, when for many trans people it is precisely the community that keeps their lives and identity safe even after death and biological family usually puts their own grievances first in 95% of cases.

even the most good-will version of this event (the mp is slightly supportive of trans issues and simply wanted to plattform the mother) is deeply insulting, because it pretends to adress an issue, that it does not adress while the party one is part of tries to mandate trans people out of existence.

it's tone-deaf and ignorant, especially when you use it to portrait yourself as if you were actually doing something about the issue at hand, which you fucking aren't

if my mother pulled shit like this, let her, if it makes her feel better, but for the love of christ, don't enable her and the narrative, as if it had any authority whatsoever over how to fight trans women being murdered

it's not about her mother, it's about the dead girl, but keep centering cis people's grievances about what should be done to keep trans people save

especially since he made it a pinned tweet 👀

nicht, dass das groß einen unterschied macht, weil durch die aufregung nehm ich eh immer den adrenalin-tunnel mit, aber let's see

ich bin als vortragsumgebung bisher entweder die schlichte, bürokratische deutsche universität oder den klassizistischen seminarraum mit zu niedrigen decken gewohnt, ich bin gespannt, wie sich ein kinosaal anfühlt

und das ist zeichen von zurichtung, gerade in der anfangsphase der diss, dass, wenn man ein richtig gutes buch in die hand nimmt, immer begleitend die existenzangst ein wort mitspricht, ob denn nicht schon jemand gemacht hat, was man machen will

und das klärt sich auch jedes mal, wenn ich in die arbeit reintrete und diese stimme im hinterkopf ignoriere, aber das ist doch schon so ein zeichen, von wissenschaftlicher verwertungs- und vergleichskultur, dass das jedes mal angst auslöst, die ich überwinden muss

also klar: das ist halt der vergleich von mir selbst, die noch nicht genau weiß, was ich sagen werde, mit fertigen texten, die ihre eigene stimme gefunden und aufgeschrieben haben

bitte was ist das für eine gesellschaft, in der man schon dankbar dafür sein muss, wenn irgendwer die eigenen pronomen akzeptiert? patriarchale dividende hoch zehn
