the modest proposal for a maximalist approach to trans rights is to ban sex assignment of infants at risk of maximum penalty
can those of you mad because you think trans whining on microblogs will depress support for dem politicians please imagine for one second how dem politicians spouting transphobia on enormous mainstream platforms depresses support for trans people
i think it's so beautiful and incredibly useful for girlconsciousness that in money for girls you can try out the endometriosis experience and the boyborn experience
extremely embarrassing time for "if you're marginalized in some way you'll have inherently more sympathy for the oppressed and revolutionary potential" politics these days
This statement from Rowling's team is so funny because it's clear that they're fuming that they can't shut Lilly up with threats of a lawsuit the way she does with everyone in the UK.
Eye-wateringly stupid defence from Rowling’s team here - ‘She does not support legal actions aimed at harming transgender people.’ - Really? So that £70,000 towards the bathroom ban was by accident? The JKR Women’s Fund was made by an impersonator? At least have the spine to admit you want us dead
I suppose this was all a giant misunderstanding, eh?
jk rowling becoming the Self-Appointed Global President of Cis Women's Politics and having quite a few supporters worldwide isn't really good for the developments of feminist politics necessary for this time imo
functionally unable to go on the attack so slowly being dismantled from the inside even with the most unpopular republican party in history. impressive stuff
nationalism is a politics of modernity, actually it is the *primary* politics of modernity, because the nation is the political form most effective for the enclosure and reterritorialization required for the expansion of capital accumulation. everything undergoes carcinization into nationalism. but,
i’ve been getting a bit stressed out about how all politics is nationalism and conspiracy theories. was there ever a time and place in history where it wasn’t all nationalism and conspiracy theories? i am on the verge of reaching a worrying conclusion
one of samus aran's favourite things to eat? why, of course, it's neopussy (◡ ‿ ◡ .)
i asked the smartest trans policy person on the planet if they'd ruin the rest of their life by starting a not shit trans org for us but they said no unfortunately i can't think of anyone we all trust who's smart enough to start a not shit org who isn't also smart enough not to
i cannot emphasize enough that what is happening here is democrats are paying the trans founder of the national center for transgender equality to publish anti-trans screeds like that is just straight up literally what is going on
did y'all not send me this a week and a half ago because you were worried about my blood pressure or what i am not calling her again because as you can imagine it went fucking shit last time and that was BEFORE jentleson started paying her to do this specifically
this bit from skill up's review of wolverine knocked me on my ass, it feels like something that wouldve come out of one of those focus m parody videos but its in a real triple A game
i can't believe they put out a surprise kirkmas special episode of ghost in the shell
you can persuade individual trans voters to vote for candidates that don't have their best interest at heart, of course. but persuasion from the basis of a demographic bloc of votes can't work here anymore, because the party decided to abandon that demographic block as a bloc in its strategy.
i think people need to remember that if a political party starts demonizing you or tossing your basic rights aside or conceding to the right on your life then the tacit agreement here is that they know they're gonna lose your votes and already incorporated that into the calculus (they either
one can vote, but don't vote if you don't want to. you can play and draw on that day. they'll blame trans people not voting if lost, and if they win the election they'll blame trans people for not getting higher margins. it's a lose-lose. a disposable population is auto-designated scapegoat.

Now I can really feel like Motoko Kusanagi when I walk down the Spadina tunnel in my combat boots
"enemy mech pilot" has become a kind of commedia dell'arte stock character. she is constantly getting into situations
i'll add to my little network of things i'm writing sometime how the experience of transfemininity in fiction made by others often never positions the experience of moving-towards transfemininity as a dislocation from gender that has the dignity of "feminist consciousness" (i.e. a character who

Now that a year has passed and no one alive cares about him anymore, it really shows to go ya how cowardly it was for DC Comics to fire my pal @scumbelievable.bsky.social for calling a universally acknowledged bigot a bigot and reacting to his death accordingly
the psycho terf groups are starting to have their eyes drift towards diy hrt resources again - so it's a good time to remember that under no circumstances in no world whatsoever for the rest of time should you talk to journalists, especially regarding anything related to diy hormones.
