My partner sent this to me this morning and it's been stuck in my head since. I'm the bearer of the curse (earworm mashup stuck in my head).

I have said often that white people wield the benefit of the doubt like a bludgeon. It is one of their most potent, tempting and common weapons. It extends outsized reach to bad actors, gives them leverage & is simple & effective. It has killed us many times over. So I no longer extend it.

probably shouldn't make her the face of a litmus test she failed multiple times. maybe focus on Tlaib, who was literally censured by her own party for opposing the genocide of her people.

Been playing a fun game in queer spaces called "is this person normal about transmascs and are they normal about Levantine people" and you play by seeing if they support both transmasculine people having their own unique form of oppression and if they support decolonization of the Levant. Most fail.

so every palestinian banned was banned by a human, who looked at someone desperately trying to survive a genocide, and decided to cut them off from any access to support

Stancil is a racist transmisogynist who hides behind his privilege as a way to deflect criticism and to bludgeon it against any group he sees fit. Bluesky does nothing about it since they're also racist and transmisogynistc (amongst many other forms of bigotry that have shown by the staff).

1970s HOMOPHOBIA 2020s TRANSPHOBIA "they're indoctrinating kids" "they're a danger in bathrooms" "they're recruiting in schools" "kids will grow out of it" "it's the parents' fault" "it's not natural" "they're too young to know"

Wait can you only pin skeets that you've made? That's lame.

Honestly this is how it feels to interact in really any space (even leftist ones) as an Arab trans person. People attack you and say the most vile racist and transphobic shit imaginable, or erase you completely, and not many people seem to care. You're so invisible yet treated with so much vitriol.

I have so many people I need to block on here lmao.
