It's unreal. They shit all over the women & nbs involved for being "exclusionary" and spend the rest of the article slandering and scolding them for being cιѕ-centered, ableist, racist, fatphobic etc etc. Just manipulative anti-feminist bullshit

The idea seems to be that a woman's space, no matter how inclusive, no matter how committed to accounting for the complexities of categorization and patriarchal marginalization, is still fundamentally bourgeois and reactionary if it centers and focuses primarily on women.

Sexual assault is a normalised part of male homosociality, and sexually charged violence against the least masculine or lowest status people in all-male groups and spaces is part of how men teach each other to uphold rape culture.

I have rheumatology in like 10 minutes and I am so anxious about potentially getting dismissed that I kinda wanna puke and did last night lmao

What if we had a word for the specific form of violence, exclusion, and dehumanisation directed at trans women... hmm... makes you think

Hello

"It's feminist to be horny for fascists. The more fascist the man, the more feminist it is. You just have to make sure to say 'I WILL CURE HIM WITH MY WOMB' and bear him children, because no man with children has ever been a bad person. Telling me not to do this is basically 1984." -- Mary Morgan

See, having an actual deep, intimate, and loving affection for women is gay-coded because Real Men know that women are to be treated like disposable penetrable objects or indentured domestic servants. "Fellas, is it gay to love wo--" fucking yes, actually. They're not ambiguous about it.

I'm just going to say it. If we cannot acknowledge that the white, middle-class, cissexual, heterosexual, abled, first-world woman is marginalized, and marginalized in a way worth advocating for, we don't have feminism. Because we don't consider 'woman' alone to be worth advocating for, then.

These two are directly related btw. There’s this girl there who’s newly out but who’s been in various spaces and seen what this city is like over the years. A month or so ago she talked about how much reading @taliabhatt.itch.io ‘s essays helped her. I could barely contain my excitement hearing

I am listening. I am learning. I am checking my privilege.

JFC. In case anyone actually requires the voice of one more aloof and disaffected trans woman to sway their opinion on this, Laurelai Bailey is fucking kryptonite to any online community she walks into, and has absolutely dogshit politics as far as I've ever seen, do not invite the vampire inside

go support my wife

So, I've put this off for a while (I've spent the better part of the last decade trying to not be deported so I'm very broke) but I desperately need FFS. This would be life changing and life saving for me. Any little bit helps me, so please consider helping out ❤️ gofund.me/306ebd2b

get in loser, we’re also losers. this is the losermobile

I didn't think there was anyone who defends LB at this point, she's been a menace for like..15 years? Probably more?

cw rape Laurelai Bailey is a rapist who informed on Lulzsec to the feds she is a destructive force in every single community she attempts to enter and in her wake she leaves a path of broken movements and shattered lives, do not let her come back Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

A lot of criticisms of women of color on BlueSky boil down to "they got uppity" and the fact that a lot of y'all can't see that but terrifies and disgusts me. Like, even when someone does something worth criticizing a lot of y'all deviate from that to focus on your extremely racist takes.

underrated is the fact that Republicans promised this, in the form of ICE

Validity discourse is garbage, this is just transmisogyny

I honestly cannot even convey how infuriated I am that Talia has once again been driven off social media for daring to touch on aspects of feminism that so many people are too cowardly to even think about

If you're posting shit like "hey x specific person why don't you come insult me" you're probably not actually being harassed or you wouldn't be begging for attention from the alleged harasser

You are capable of choosing to be normal about Talia Bhatt.

and jesus christ people do not like being called in on this behavior either. they instead throw months long tantrums, cyberstalk and harass others and then cry foul when you point it out. honestly what do people expect? that they get to run roughshod over everyone and stuff people with wildly…

my friends, my actual community, does not make that demand of me because if they did i would cut them off without a second thought. this is the fucking internet and no i am not actually beholden to people i do not know on the basis of being trans. “but Fae that’s anti-solidarity!” it actually isn’t

you cannot claim to care about what happened to Fall while actively participating in the same kind of harassment to another trans woman. that's just not how it works. For fuck's sake people even did the thing of only reading the title of Talia's book and got mad about it without reading it.

i will finish this now very long thread off by getting back to reason 2 this lie pisses me off (in particular the recent way it's been employed) Bee is Talia's good friend, and was made a target for harassment when Talia herself was not available to harass.

no one actually learned any good lesson from this. trans women who are out and open about being trans are routinely attacked and harassed offline because someone didn't like their fiction. she's just become a Name to Remember but i guess fuck the trans women who are alive and need protection today

event when that actually just isn't true. it is true that the biggest names with the most influence were not trans women, but that's about the most you can accurately say. people were transmisogynistic as fuck to her even after her identity as a trans woman was revealed. important to note...

however the identity of this friend was omitted, she was rhetorically cast as part of "Bee's group" and most people defaulted to thinking she was/is cis. (she still sometimes gets shit for voicing her criticism of the story long after retracting it AND apologizing for it)

let's actually talk about the lie itself and what happened. before anyone knew Fall was a trans woman (it was not obvious actually) someone accused Bee of being Fall... this understandably upset Bee who has a long history of being harassed herself. she did not want to be associated with a story

1) it’s a lie 2) some of the people saying it are actively involved in a harassment campaign against a brown trans woman (Talia) and i find the irony in getting up in arms about Fall disgusting under the circumstances 3) the historical revisionism of what happened to Fall and who was involved

I know I'm not alone here when I say that the community that Benjanun has helped to foster has been life saving. When I see racist slander directed at Bee or her community, I want to fight the people spewing hate. Bee is a literary treasure & an essential cis ally of trans women.

4.2 sales from hitting $7000 :O Reminder that this money goes to a group of trans contributors, particularly trans women of color who need to survive America, one way or another! My portion will be earmarked for them as well.

I'm sorry I talked about racism and lesbophobia. I'm sorry I wrote a book talking about how patriarchy affects us. I'm sorry I didn't give everyone 24/7 access to berate me or instrumentalize me or tokenize me like you wanted. I'm sorry I snapped when pushed and now any abuse against me is fine.

Anxiety is through the roof but my hair cooperated so that's nice

If you can, I would greatly appreciate any support you can provide. I have set a goal on Kofi for $2000, which isn't enough to cover my expenses, but should help keep me afloat at least through next month. Anything is appreciated ko-fi.com/katrafiy

it's neuromuscular disease clinic day which is both very exciting and very scary. as of Sunday I don't sweat, shiver or shake at all. I just get stuck with the internal feeling like I'm shaking or shivering but nothing happens. Nothing. Fell 2x last week. Deep tendon reflexes are getting dicey

The attacks on authors on here are just another aspect of the anti-intellectualism and anti-feminism rising across the planet, and it's connection to fascism is especially obvious when the targeted authors are dominantly non-white trans and cis lesbians.

sort of abuse tactic. i’ve grown up on the internet basically and it’s just something i’ve seen play out thousands of times with no end in sight. really sucks shit and i wish people would be fucking normal actually

or unsavory in some way. the whole group (still with intention to isolate the initial victim) comes under extreme scrutiny. constantly monitored, stalked and harassed. it sometimes goes on for weeks or months (or even longer if the abuser(s) don’t get bored first) it’s just nasty fucking work…

friends with the victim. in this way friends become adjacent victims who are encouraged by increasing social pressure to leave the initial victim high and day. refusing to do so makes friends increasingly acceptable targets. the friendship and open support of one another is treated as sinister…

abuse kinda goes like this: first an abuser will attack, attack, attack until the victim snaps and the snapping is used as retroactive justification for the previous attacks. then it becomes about isolating the victim from friends by repeating the pattern or making it socially dangerous to be…

from the people who fucking hate us. yet you have the audacity to speak about unity? about solidarity? do not make me laugh. you’re mad that brown tranny didn’t want to be your friend anymore because you can’t keep your racism in check for two seconds. you got blocked, she left your discord…
