Girl whose romantic relationship and sex experience can only be accurately described as "hasn't happened yet" and "hasn't gone further than kissing/making out/petting with less than a handful of people total" takes quiz:

McBride tried several times to be a "sensible moderate" by calling trans rights a distraction and in the Klein interview, blaming trans advocacy for the anti-trans panic, instead of the utter capture of the media. She didn't have to do that, and she hasn't really walked back her support for Israel.

Someone please remind me not to go on this app much less post at 05:30 when I hadn’t been able to sleep during the night

No no, it’s actually easy to make it non-political: all you have to do is pivot the story to siding with the hostile society. Then you’re not being political, you’re just advocating for a return to normalcy/sanity. Nothing less political than that!

Swarnim is an Indian trans woman who has recently experienced transphobic workplace harassment and is dealing with health issues plus eviction. She's offering coding classes that she hopes will interest women and especially queer people. Boost if you can. docs.google.com/forms/d/1vR8...

And dammit my reaction to having someone be willing to fight for me would probably be to either run away or push them away too (though I'd almost certainly have much less justification for that reaction than Mercy does right now)

A trans woman’s wish fulfilment: somebody who’s actually willing to fight for you. 😔

An alternate route for authors: give permission for a fan discord to be made about your work and just wait for like a day for some girl to decide she might as well go ahead and make the server (and attract the helicopters.) Congrats you now have a discord server!

Are women bourgeois? Ari: WELL I AM

Hot take: for a cis guys, a femboy is nothing but a trans woman who doesn't have the ability to self-define/assert her identity and so who can be abused and who, unlike trans women, won't even fight back. And that's the exact reason why so many of them are attracted to femboys

PSA: You are not an ally if you think trans kids shouldn't transition medically.

This is why a lot of cis people love to say oh trans women don't get subjected to misogyny, they're subjected to *misandry*! bsky.app/profile/did:...

'My experiences as a uterus-haver are unique and trans women are trying to steal valor from me when they say they're marginalized as women' is the bedrock for TERF socialization (to the point that it can be gender-agnostic; 'trans women have rape privilege' didn't originate from cis women after all)

I expect that a lot of people will be capable of considerably more sanity if they understand that experiences they believe are *unique* to cis women are also things that trans women experience.

'Cisphobia is real' No it isn't. Sit down.

I got to say that I've never been 'attacked' by trans women for saying one of my characters is cis, but then again I don't think of trans women as a seething hysterical mob looking to tear cis women apart or whatever.

A white supremacist shit head died and the whole world rallies to lionize him, my trans siblings get murdered constantly because of his rhetoric, fucking crickets. I'm exceptionally exhausted with existing in a world that would clap at my death and celebrate those who called for it.

"Yeah guys the transphobia was just so I could infiltrate the transphobes. No, my flipping back to team trans has nothing to do with seeing a transphobe get got."

I will say that it is CONVENIENT that all these Dem politicians are giving us written statements explicitly stating their respect for a Nazi who has said explicit Nazi things. If we ever get to the other side of this regime, it will be nice to have these voluntary confessions in hand

Why do you say this as if you agree there actually exists a minority that is, as the QT'd article claims, 'disfigured' by transition. Do you realise how you sound? "Ya sure detransitioners are mutilated and disfigured--but look, they don't matter! Uno percent!!!"

y’all know what one of the first nazi book burnings was right? y’all know why they did it y’all know trans people were one of their first targets and even the ALLIES left us in the camps when liberating everyone else y’all see what’s right in front of you, right?

I think the thing I despise the most about Newsom boosters is that they won't just flat out say they agree with his anti-trans views (which they obviously do). Instead, they frame them as positions Dems need to take to appeal to some vague hypothetical voter.

That's not even the best part. Wanna know the actual punchline? Someone actually DNF'd my book because they thought I was unironically praising James Somerton.

I stand unequivocally with Stovey. My stomach turns thinking about what she's been, and is still being, subjected to. My whole heart goes out to both her and Hoku. Fuck anyone involved in this shit. There is a special place in hell for you, and sooner or later you're going to wish you were there.

Before I wrap this up, I want to note that the several anonymous alt accounts spreading similar slanders about Stovey's character have been using transvestigation, stalking, and funny enough, information pulled from Stovey's doxx to push their narrative.

when adults say “we shouldnt let kids transition bc theyre too confused and dont know who they are” it tells me those adults are confused, have no internal sense of who they are, and cannot accept that literal children have achieved a degree of maturity and self-actualization they themselves havent

It’s wild that a few hundred can turn up to fascist-led protests and the media and government instantly dance to their tune - yet when hundreds of thousands march for the human rights of Palestinians or trans+ people, their voices are brushed aside by those who should be listening This is a choice

You can tell which politics the papers support just by which marches and protests they cover. 100,000 people for trans rights? Zero coverage. Max 250 people for racism? Breathless daily coverage, multiple articles and thinkpieces, talking heads going on TV to discuss ‘legitimate concerns’.

"vote blue no matter who" is a tacit admission that it does not matter who wins

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

psst! are you a fan of Gender Phantoms (AKA "Ranked Competitive Breast Growth) on Patreon/Scribblehub by @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social and @taliabhatt.itch.io ? maybe you've seen the odd Soundcloud link reskeeted after a chapter release. would you like an album of all those songs, and 5 BONUS TRACKS? -M

RCBG HAS AN ALBUM!!!!!!

MARGINALIZED COMMUNITIES INCLUDING TRANS USERS MADE YOUR APP A SUCCESS YOU ARE SILENCING VOICES THAT HELPED YOUR APP GROW

It's amazing how little it takes for liberals to abandon civil rights. Conservatives poured money into making trans people a culture war fixation and transphobia still isn't actually an electoral winner, but liberals are ecstatic to "make a tough sacrifice" and mulch us to run right and lose again.

What's so funny is that talking about bra's is a topic of, like, almost *evangelism* for many cis women. They make a point of talking openly and helping on another out. The self report here is self-reporting.

20. wow what an ending Everyone has completed their arcs, the girls are coming out and admitting who they are, and this has resolved nothing and even created more problems. Truly the perfect ending.

Y'know, I stand with Palestinians because it's right, but it's not for nothing that every single "Gender critical" ideologue also seems to be a committed Zionist, the same people loathe and dehumanise us both, and in that the Palestinian people have my solidarity.

women are weak to misogyny-type attacks and yet some women... LEARN misogyny-type attacks? Look how the checks are mating.

internet users failing to do Intersectionality sound like they're explaining the Pokemon type chart badly tbh like no you haven't proven that water types are strong against electric types because water/ground types exist

i've regrettably just caught up on what has been happening to my friends at @transnews.network: a corporation-endorsed harassment campaign targeted at journalists. Itch's behavior is inexcusable. plainly.

Feminism has been trying to decouple women’s worth from reproduction for so long, tying trans women’s identity to “egg producing equipment” is such a blow to all women

if you want an example of why i'm generally skeptical about people who call themselves trans allies, at least one person liking this has it in their bio the entire discussion got touched off when this guy tried to make the argument that not everyone would agree on the "trans issue"

"I want to preserve the cultural climate where a persecuted minority is scapegoated for society's ills, for the good of the nation" you are stupid. You are dense. You do not understand 'politics' or 'optics' or 'pragmatism'. You literally want to preserve the conditions that engendered fascism.

The way you political illiterates frame issues as isolated bullet points in a vacuum is absurd and frustrating. You cannot oppose "fascism" and then demand everyone throw their weight behind pro-genocide, anti-civil rights, anti-bodily autonomy candidates. That is the building blocks of fascism!

And we know this because in California, we’ve seen the limits of his liberalism. When he broke his own covid policy. When he personally joined raids on homeless encampments, destroying people’s only property in the world. When he chatted companionably with bigots, misogynists, and transphobes.

Nothing he is doing right now is because he cares what’s happening to people, because he wants to stop suffering and make life better. He’s acting right now because it’s politically favorable. I’ll go so far to say he’s DELIGHTED that he gets to look tough and liberal.

Ok, you know why I don’t like Gavin Newsom? You know how in While You Were Sleeping, Peter Gallagher’s family all talks about how he rescued a nest of baby birds as a kid, and later he admits he knocked their nest out of the tree with a rock, then made sure everyone saw him rescue it? That’s Gavin.

What these people are saying isn't *really* a call for pragmatism - it's a demand that us uppity tr*nnies shut up and learn our place, because they want President Newsome and don't like seeing criticism of their favorite politician (who they like BECAUSE he panders to the right)

They actively want a Democratic nominee who caters to the right and abandons all of the party's supposed principles, and are excited by the possibility of voting for one. Otherwise, they wouldn't be declaring their support for such a hypothetical candidate so far in advance!
