Every mob that has ever run a trans woman off of socials has had a "valid reason" why they deserved it. But it's still systemic and endemic.

I have spoken put regularly about collective shout and the internet censorship of porn for a long time and I really think everybody needs take a deep breath and stop assuming the worst out of every post you see on the internet.

I just want everyone to step back and realize how often it's a trans woman getting bullied off social media.

You don't have to be a millennial to have that cloyingly cringey response of outright panic and rabid contrarianism, borne of weaponizing sex-positivity, that leads to treating any woman who comments on rampant sexualization as though she's going to delete your personal porn stash. But it helps!

Incredibly disappointing how frequently I see trans women chased off the internet for literally nothing and makes me wonder why in god's name I'm voluntarily putting myself at risk

"maybe gamergate actually had a point" you understand it was gamergate that led us to this point right? including BOTH the paypro censorship AND the mass volumes of csam being generated by grok. they were fascists. they rode our cultural hatred of women & MaGes to success and to today's world

the knowledge that GGers sent anita CSAM with her face edited into it has haunted me for years. and this is literally exactly what grok is doing at a mass scale now. it's a straight fucking line

She left?? Goddamn it. This wasn't about furry rights, was it? This was an excuse to run another Trans person off the internet. Fuck everyone involved in that shitshow.

i'm incredibly disappointed in everyone who engaged with the dogpilling here, this was beyond uncalled for.

"Yeah, I'm a Barb"

Once you finally begin to recognize us first and foremost as women, this is really all you need to understand about us.

Me at the beginning of the last week: "I'll knock out my more fun, opinionated essay before turning my attention to the more rigorous ones." My "fun, opinionated essay": *is going to be longer than 'The Third Sex' and cite more works*

Thread!!! Reminds me of Bikini Kill’s epic “Liar Liar,” linking all variants of domination under one capitalist nationalist imperative. “Eat meat. Hate Blacks. Beat your fucking wife. It’s all the same thing. You profit from the lie.”

Recently, I've been writing a great deal about Nationalism as a lens through which we can synthesize our understandings of racism, misogyny, and queer misogyny as interlinked mechanisms that advance a state's reproductive agenda, in the pursuit of reproducing its hierarchies.

Anyway listen to the episodes if you want psychic damage, thanks

--when you were trans man, you believed your issues ought to be more important than women's. What could possibly be anti-feminist about any of that, Mx. Fuck I'm Not Superior To Women, Better Detransition And Seethe?

I ask, how are you shocked? (The answer is that Robinson is not very bright, as is apparent by the rest of the book.) You've decried bodily and *reproductive* autonomy of transition as "mutilation" and "male imitation," called trans women rapists for existing (explicitly), and confessed that--

But what I found hilarious--and didn't get to mention on the pod, for time reasons--is that Robinson dedicates like a whole chapter to being outraged that her words have been co-opted by anti-feminists. She's super mad about it

Conversely, Robinson's TERF book, discussed in our last episode, is directly opposed to the reproductive exploitation of women. Instead it talks about the womb-based sisterhood of "women and FTMs" and devolves into a pathetic and infantile transmisogynistic screech by the end

She also mentions intersectionality--before you listen to the pod, try to guess in what context, because I found it quite amusing

It's galling how direct Shrier is about the fact she believes children are the property of their parents. In the pod, I quote her basically explicitly attaching a monetary value to children--"we paid this much for you to go to school, and yet you dare render yourself unfuckable and sterile"

Last month I released my personal account of conversion therapy; meanwhile, on Cracked Ivory, @taliabhatt.itch.io and I talked about two texts which document the GC and TERF approach to it respectively. Naturally, the former book--Shrier's screed--is WAY more popular.

ICYMI, during the holidays we released two new episodes guest-starring Lucy Kartikasari: a discussion of the GC child abuse manual "Irreversible Damage" & of a TERF self-conversion therapy manual "Detransition: Beyond Before And After" Give them a listen! Available everywhere now

Dont make daddy mad! Daddy can do whatever he wants! As official international law policy yeeeeeehawww

"Is Brigitte Macron transmisogyny-affected", the least literate Tumblr thread in history, with all the trans women who participated in it banned after 34,578 reblogs---

You can get done for cyber-bullying vis-a-vis falsely accusing someone of being a trans woman. But you get nothing if you provably harass trans women. Simple transmisogyny.

No “transgender woman (a biological male who identifies as a woman)”? Does the style guide not apply to cis women? Are your readers only confused when it’s actual real trans women being spoken about?

labour capitulate to the far right domestically all the time and they capitulate to the far right internationally all the time. they never stand up against any of it. at a certain point perpetual capitulation becomes policy. starmer's labour is far right.

Tbf the refusing to condemn a potential invasion of Greenland thing does properly lay out the Labour gov’s position on international law in that they don’t know what it is except for whats convenient in their alliance with the US

I'm a prison abolitionist, which is why I believe that if you ask grok to turn someone's selfie into pornography, you should be dumped in the middle of the jungle with nothing, not even the clothes on your back, and left to fend for yourself :)

Despite Mumsnet's blatant tolerance of right-wing fixations, it's pretty clear that the British media loves to zoom in on and elevate the framing of conservatives even when they're clearly in the minorty. The article quotes mums concerned about "grooming gangs" and immigrants stealing resources.

I cannot wait to vote this government out. I am counting the days

Hey, so I have this lovely bridge to sell you, just absolutely gorgeous, and you wouldn't believe what a steal it is! Call now while you still can!

Mayhaps we take the problem of fundamentalism a tad more seriously

People will watch women consistently fight against society forcing them into a role against their will and be baffled that women arent happy when the role forced on them changes. "Ok we'll force you all into a different one" like buddy, you're the problem here.

The backlash of the last 15 years or so most obvious in paypro stuff and the prosecution of Backpage is part of this constant readjustment to forestall any possibility of alliance between whores and wives. It has fuck all to do with feminism although feminist are often recuperated by it.

The regulation of sex work so it remains a shameful poverty trap and never a way to get out from under the abusive fist of a husband is one of the priorities of patriarchal states going back 5000 years. The wild instability of capitalism has that regulation changing at breakneck speed.

Until we learn why generations of women keep swapping between "I hate restrictive modesty, I wanna be a liberated slut!" and "I hate extreme sexualization, I wish my boundaries could be respected and modesty sounds neat", we will not escape feminist samsara.

frustrating how often i find myself not having very strong feelings or any particular take about the thing the discourse is about, but being appalled by how many reactionary & noxious assumptions are being smuggled in BY the discourse itself

🤡"By all that you hold dear on this good earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!" "Easterlings" The people from the east. Bad guys.🤷🏿‍♂️ "Southrons" The people from the South. Also bad guys. Known for their war elephants. Subtle.🤷🏿‍♂️ "Orcs" Bad guys. Described by Tolkien as, well, just read it.

I think this is how you know Jemma has broken out as a writer.

One person responded with “because modding and boobs are fun” and if that was the only response the furries gave to that post it would’ve been so normal. Instead it’s Nuremberg Trials but with dog titties

Not sure how bad the deepfake problem is? Read Stella's farewell thread. This is an extreme form of remote sexual harassment that can now be used to target anyone, regardless of platform, in seconds. Despite news stories focusing mostly on CSAM it's still unchecked and rampant on Twitter.

"if you say that you find something that makes me horny a bit weird you are literally Goebbels burning down the Institut Fur Sexualwafflemaker" tumblr socialisation has nuked your mind
