women *must* be visible but you're punished if you are and you're punished if you're not the punishment? they make you visible, of course! it's the digital age of mandatory sexual availability! rape culture 2.0

Good. Ban them.

revenge for a thousand real and imagined slights all of which amount to revenge for the crime of resistance to their "natural" authority over the rest of us.

it's revenge for MeToo in particular. revenge for child abuse laws (which mra/fathers rights orgs & family values conservatives have been crying about since the 90s and earlier), it's revenge for the trans tipping point. it's revenge for the "male loneliness crisis" that doesn't exist.

yes as a group. yes all cis men benefit from this mass sexual violence against their social subordinates. all cis men benefit when someone gender marginalized has to leave public life to escape the sexual violence of men, even if they're not the ones doing it.

whole thread. CW rape. what we're seeing with elon's digital rape & CSAM machine is collective gleeful revenge by cis men as a group against women as a group, trans people, and yes even children, for the crime of resisting the status of sexual property. bringing down the boot.

That's one devilish form of gaslighting we've been facing for years now, and I'm absolutely not over it. How people can still believe that the law will somehow do something about fascism is beyond me, but I guess being part of multiple marginalized groups informs my reflexion in ways most people

if you're posting anything other than condemnation of the US and support for Venezuela's resistance to American imperialism rn I straight up think you're evil

There are many things to love about Rami’s top 10 for 2025 but this is one of my favourites.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Petite pensée à toutes les personnes qui, comme moi, sont nées très près des fêtes et pour qui personne n'a envie de faire un truc spécial pour leur anniversaire, parce que bon, tout le monde a déjà été trop occupé/a trop dépensé/a fait déjà trop d'excès. Joyeux 45 ans à moi dans pas long ✨

They should invent a year that isn't terrible.

been thinking about this lou reed interview again recently

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

had to amend based on my Expertise

the trans person’s dilemma

holidays emphasize the fact that my personal life didn't quite proceed on the path I had planned but one thing i got going for me is, I don't have hundreds of thousands of people, maybe millions, joking-not-joking that maybe this will be the day I die

Goth mommy Jar Jar is not real, she cannot hurt you Goth mommy Jar Jar:

consistently nice to see that ludwig is generally a Good Dude and has always been a really strong trans ally, especially in light of his trans day-one viewer passing away. a strong example of how much of an impact a single trans person can have just by existing, though the circumstances still hurt.

When we ask "what if that was your daughter," a common patriarchal question to dig for empathy over property ownership, we erase who is actually centered & protected in rape culture. What if that were your son, your brother, or your friend? And we know the answer. It's been very loud.

Essentially, I think that LLM-generated dialogue only makes sense if you believe that the product of writing is words. But the product of writing isn't words, any more than the product of justice is prisoners, or the product of love is weddings. The product of writing is meaning.

avatar is a dogshit racist series and it's embarrassing that people like it so god damn these two parts of the review are absolutely scathing

very specifically the phrase “biological sex” serves the same rhetorical purpose as “the semitic race.” it’s pseudoscience nazi shit, jesus fucking christ

if i had a nickel for every trans person i know who’s parents were abstractly supportive of trans people, even their child’s friends, but not their own child….

PSA: Our roadmap for 2026:

Since Trump is making the border evaluate 5 years of social media history for "anti-Americanness" for anyone trying to enter the US: I am anti US wars, US genocide, US torturing, US human rights abuses, US abuse of the dollar, US interventions, US oligarchy, US media hegemony, basically most of it.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

[trans people fired from all federal jobs] [trans people fired from all military jobs] [trans people fired from jobs everywhere] [cis people fired for being accused of being trans] [cis professors fired for mentioning trans people exist] [trans teacher fired for giving a bad grade to Nazi] liberal:

very amused that to some folks this meme is my greatest contribution to game design

it sucks that because of AI you can’t even believe pet videos anymore it used to mean something when a dog used a jet ski to save a boy from a shark attack

Des années de "pirater un artiste c'est le mettre à la rue", d'avertissement/strike/ban parce qu'on a utilisé un extrait audio de 10sec, le tout pour soi-disant protéger les artistes et les droits d'auteur, pour ensuite filer tout leur catalogue à la machine à chier du plagiat. Piratez-moi ça 🏴‍☠️

Un des enjeux essentiels de l'antivalidisme est de rompre la binarité handi/valide, qui fait que nous serions une catégorie fondamentalement "autre", alors qu'il s'agit bien évidemment d'un continuum, dans lequel la validité est un pur concept, personne n'est jamais tout le temps 100% valide.

En ce moment je lis et écoute beaucoup de choses sur l’IA et la course à l’IA, ce qui n’aide pas à me sentir légère mais je sais pas si on se rend bien compte que notre futur est en train d’être ruiné par des mecs qui parlent littéralement comme des enfants de 6 ans.

Gros sentiment en France aussi. J'en ai parlé aux gens auxquels je pense. Je ne comprends pas comment vous faites pour parler de fascisation d'un côté et juste accepter la façon dont les gens autour de vous parlent des femmes trans comme si c'était de la vermine.

If you care about video games at all, read this. A lot of the greatest game developers are marginalized people that face harassment both inside and outside work. They should be protected at all costs to keep making great games, but all too often are thrown out and abandoned instead.

if youre trans and youre struggling to justify why you as a person should be allowed to take up space in the universe just consider that by your sheer existence you make a lot of the worst people on earth mad enough that they will die early deaths from stress. so thats a p good reason

i want to grow old with my trans friends

happy transgender day of remembrance thank you for sticking around in the hardest of times. if you haven't, you are missed dearly please live 💜

Aujourd'hui c'est le jour du souvenir trans pour tou•te•s les nôtres qui ont disparu. Soutenez les personnes trans autour de vous, elles en ont besoin au quotidien face à l'empirement de nos situations

Des recueillements ont lieu partout aujourd'hui en mémoire de nos soeurs, de nos frères et de nos adelphes trans, tué.e.s par la transphobie (#TDOR).

the problem with legislating away the trans is that the initial "there are objective criteria for discrimination" is falling appart already and now the only thing they can do is suspend human rights universally 🙂 either this is where it collapses or the uk is an evangelical theocracy within 5 years

this is a key point - they know they're not dangerous cos if there was really an issue with 'side effects' it would be a blanket ban rather than different ONLY for trans kids they KNOW this is purely to target trans people & the split policy is them overtly bragging about the fact. It's pure evil

I'm a fundamentally different person than I was just a few years ago, in more ways than just how I look, and nearly every single one of those changes has been the result of a conscious decision to change who I am, hopefully for the better. It's empowering as all hell, and it applies to everyone.

I used to often find myself thinking, "I wish I was the kind of person...", whether the rest of that sentence was about a personality trait, or a skill, or even just the way I engage with the world, but nowadays I short circuit that thought, and recognize that I can just become that kind of person.

I'm really grateful that I'm trans, if only because it taught me that nearly every aspect of who I am can be changed. People mostly talk about the physical aspects of transition, but I feel like I'm constantly remaking myself—my personality or otherwise—into the type of person I want to be.

Some abled parents of disabled people are the most violent ableists. They use their children as tools to demonstrate their heroism in shouldering the burden of taking care of a disabled person, think they’re incapable of ableism, and say the experience of a caretaker is the same as being disabled.

it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are
