A lot of people talk about bigotry being rooted in desire of the subordinated other but much more often the truth lies closer to such bigotry being rooted in an array of Fantasies of the bigot about the object of their prejudice with or without any specific desire and ppl deliberately get this wrong

Seeing it in the discussions around misogynists being "gay" because they hate women by people who enjoy fantasies where misogynist men can be distanced and demeaned through connection to homosexuality. Seeing it through discussions around right wing transphobia targeting trans sexual health tech.

People frequently enjoy themselves conjuring up fantasies concerning abject exotic others that do not bear up under scrutiny and do not meaningfully constitute any sort of sexual desire because fantasising about those you have no real knowledge of allows free reign for imaginary delusions about them

A comparator that comes to hand for me is the way the fetish scene has had a regular meme of rubber nuns, but having been to a school as a kid run by nuns I could not find them less interesting because I grew up being like that's sister Agnes, she wears sensible shoes and teaches English.

Also for certain generations of women it was the one job you could go to to avoid compulsory heterosexuality.

But beyond that, this objectifying visual-culture-forward aspect to fantasising about contemptible others is a huge and commonly repeated practice for asserting political dominance over people you do not understand or feel much kinship with.

Either way, I think we ought to push more discussion towards focusing on the fantasising about the other and the gratifying functions that fantasising serves.

I don't think transphobes binge watch trans porn primarily to get off sexually. I think they're aroused in a whole bunch of other ways by a pre packaged objectified vessel for their disgust and repudiation where the fact it isn't (necessarily) sexual desire motivating them doesn't actually matter.

Right wing men having an absolute disdain for women isn't gay, please stop reheating this joke, it's starting to form some really nasty chemicals.

when andrew tate and nick fuentes say "gay" they mean "effeminate and unmanly." it's effeminate and unmanly to treat your sexual property (wife, children) like a person, but NOT effeminate to have a thing for femboys like fuentes does. hope this helps

analogous to the greeks and romans (sometimes) calling it "effeminate" to be TOO into women, but NOT effeminate to be into young boys. it's about the gender-organizing logic of penetrability and power. it's a subject-object binary, to be the "penetrated object" is to be feminized

the (trans)feminized, penetrable "boy," is a classical acceptable object of HETEROsexual desire within this regime. nothing new there. what they're policing when they say it's gay to love your wife is that it's "effeminate and ridiculous" to treat your sexual property (women, children) as equals

by treating your wife as an equal, you are lowering yourself to her level, which is the level of the womanish, the contemptible, the effeminate, the un-man, the boy, the property, the penetrable.

if you are not on top, then you must be on the bottom, and that means you're effeminate. pretty simple.

how on earth can we be at this point and not take tate and fuentes deadly seriously?

do british people think everyone has forgotten the whole "centuries of colonialism and genocide" and "the sun never sets on the empire" thing lmao

first of all the USA is *already* part of the international axis of evil, but so is the UK lmao.

hey quick question what was the "mandate for palestine" and how did it lead us to where we are now? india and africa? never heard of em we're just harmless little transphobes who never did anything bad to the world 🥺

the US is the UK's large adult son

she crashed out

man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped... yeah.

115 democrats just voted to establish the first federal statutory definition of sex, which could now be used to • charge fraud for using documents that misrepresent “sex” • reverse all federal records gender markers • sue a future gov’t for attempting to rescind trump’s anti-trans exec orders

I make no representations about individual cases, but all this shit about getting a prescription after one counselling session? Yeah, it's damn near certain that they were seeing someone else, put on a waiting list for way too long, and the prescriber had reviewed extensive records b4 session 1.

The Democrats are NOT going to reverse any of this. They didnt reverse Guantanamo Bay. They didn’t reverse the PATRIOT Act. They didnt reverse Citizens United. They didnt reverse ICE camps. They didnt reverse the COVID funding guts. Nothing changes or stops with them in power

115 Democrats just voted to codify the first federal trans segregation law.

Draw your kinks y’all. Your dirty, nasty kinks that so called normal society will look down on you for. Because it doesn’t matter. Because drawing any porn is distasteful to them. You could draw the most basic missionary crap and they’ll still want to hang you. Be free. Be a lil weird. Be loved.

"Everything straight is actually gay" is my favourite kind of ragebait posts by these morons.

they don't even mind the right wing being portrayed as full of closeted men. it actually helps them suggest what they always want to suggest, which is that every corner of society is in need of purification

Is it absurd to call a man gay for loving and respecting his wife? Yes. And asserting absurd things is one of the ways in which fascists play power games. They know it doesn't make sense. They revel in not making sense.

To the fascist mindset, valuing common sense or facts over ideology is an act of submission. Caring that they sound ridiculous is weakness to them. What they value is having the power to impose their nonsensical bullshit on everybody else without having to care that they're chatting pure wham.

And tbh this particular species of bullshit is just a slight extension of the guy I used to work with who set a custom ringtone of a blaring alarm siren for when his wife rang him. Standard heterosexual man behaviour but more so.

Unfortunately even when positive stuff does happen (extremely rare so I usually don’t bother looking), the news articles will spin it into something negative and whine like Wilhelm II when something good happens to Asians.

o you all enjoyed sharing a trans positive piece in the guardian yesterday? sike. (WE DON'T SHARE THE GUARDIAN. NO. WE DON'T SHARE THE GUARDIAN. FOR FUCK SAKE.)

we are so boned while all of you fuck this very basic thing up.

apparently (I haven't read it and will not lmao) the trans positive piece from yday uses the unambiguously bigoted "biological women" - which I don't believe the writer would've used themselves. meaning it was pretty likely inserted by an editor. Because again; the guardian are transphobic frauds.

I know you all want a mainstream publication that isn't bigoted as shit to exist and help us get the word out that we're actually nice and including us won't hurt anyone etc and so forth. But if it exists it ain't the guardian and won't be until they have transgender editors at a minimum.

This hasn't gotten much traction, but late last week, Media Minister Patrick O'Donovan announced plans for A) A social media ban for under-16s. B) To achieve this, introducing mandatory digital ID requirements for all Irish users of social media platforms. #speirgorm #Ireland #internetpolicy

The age verification system will apparently work with your mygov.ie account, alongside the proposed "digital wallet". All part of a plan to "protect children from online grooming" and "clean up social media to a degree". Mmmm. Full story here extra.ie/2025/11/29/n...

If you wanted to "clean up" social media, you could start by enforcing laws and regulations governing tech platforms. That would be messy, awkward, and might achieve something. No, instead, this government is introducing new laws to monitor what citizens say and do online.

No one is truly anonymous online. If you break the law, it is already very easy for the Garda/Police to track you down. Introducing ID verification is a solution looking for a problem.

Online child grooming? Yes, it does happen. It is an awful, vile crime. It is also exceptionally rare, in the *overwhelming majority* of incidents of child sexual violence, the predator is someone the child already knows in real life. Ginning up online grooming ignores the real threat.

This is how the Irish government will try and sell mandatory online ID to the public; "Do you think your privacy is more important than protecting children online? Why don't you want to keep kids safe from online predators?" As if there is a binary choice, your privacy or child safety.

1. Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) exists online. 2. Children are groomed online by sexual predators. BUT The overwhelming majority of child sexual violence is perpetrated by someone who has a pre-existing relationship with their victim. Online child grooming cases are actually very rare.
