Trans women are women who cannot be reproductive exploited, and we are too tainted to be allowed to be men ever again.
So we are trash.
Even to queervoids, because their "beyond the binary" ends at the threshold of a tranny demanding respect.

I will, in fact, be even blunter here:
Trans women are not trying to say transmisogyny is "the worst oppression". We gave up on trying to stress the severity of it a long time ago.
We are, at this point, trying to communicate that we *are oppressed at all*, to people who refuse to believe it.

I honestly don't care what people who refuse to ban private jets or cut military and police spending think about air conditioning.
Air conditioning saves lives. Private jets and military weapons and cop budgets take lives. Seems pretty obvious to me what we should cut to fight climate change.

The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.
SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of global military carbon emissions are from the United States.
Working class people cooling their apartments with air conditioning is not the problem.

Hey anybody else notice that the only times callouts over transmisogyny seem to have actual consequences for the target are when the target is:
-A racialized trans woman
-Not actually doing transmisogyny

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.
Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.

I have three hearings at three different courthouses today. At the second, someone was sobbing outside the courtroom. They'd asked ChatGPT what to say in Court. They believed what it told them.
They lost because it hallucinated, and they didn't know there were no do-overs.

While it’s not going to get around as much, it’s an important to remember that we’re all disabled in the eyes of the fascists. It’s the end result of thinking whole groups of people are less than. We’re all disabled because they can make us disabled, both physically and with the stroke of a pen.

Language is a tool for communication, and so, using words in a way where you're either deferring to their conventional usage or making it clear how you're defining them, is generally necessary
