i'm realizing my becoming-imperceptible, brb

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

@FoxyMarxist she's just so fuckin insufferably disingenuous

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

the political economy of transition is actually brutal. a huge part of dysphoria is the structural result of plain old material scarcity.

dysphoria is a political issue and one reason trans people need and deserve actually existing socialism

@DefendNoWave i think Fagles did a decent job of it, but like, people are also weird about, as if it should be canonized as *the* modem translation 🙄

Ontario is a very normal place. it's almost 60% bigger than Texas and it catches on fire every summer and enshrouds the entire province in a thick blanket of ominous smoke. that's a normal kind of thing to happen

my gf just put this on the fridge. i'm speechless

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

whiteness/protecting whiteness/forwarding white "grievances" basically seems like a mandate among big transfemme accounts, idk what else to say atp

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

the issue isn't her simply being a white woman from the Bahamas, it's her glib way of speaking about her roots in/proximity to a gentrifying settler class

pretending she's getting "cancelled" (🙄) bc of parasocial hate is feigned ignorance, at best

[Cassie Pritchard @hecubian_devil]

Incredibly funny how people in places like America, Australia, Canada, etc, are trying to cancel some streamer for being a white woman from the Bahamas.

I’m so glad I never became a streamer or YouTuber, the parasocial hatred is psychotic over there

still alive, just focused on doing my thing<3

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

@NagaEvolution truue, my gf's been preoccupied by this all week lmao

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

if "how many genders are there?" is their stock gotcha, hit them with an even simpler one: "How many colours are there?"

finally started injections ☺️💖

@FoxyMarxist i only know of the four German editions (the first two in Marx's lifetime, ofc). dyk where i can find out more about the edition Reitter translated?

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

shit like this is why we must combat liberalism

[Ari Drennen @AriDrennen]

Transsexualism as we conceive of it in America is bourgeois, the product of a society that venerates the freedom of an individual to choose. There is no designer vagina under communism, I’m sorry.

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

and fwiw, @TimHortons commodifying trauma in the form of an orange donut is particularly emblematic of how fundamentally stupid, heartless, and capitalistic this country is.

i (almost...) find it hard to believe the silence around this move, which is in incredibly poor taste

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

the rampant genocide denialism in Canada re: residential schools—which seemingly intensifies each year around this time—only cements my conviction that this country is strictly a settler colonial project, and that it lacks any shred of conscience

[Althea Euphémie @AltheaPosting]

genocide denialist grifters like Frances Widdowson deserve nothing less than to have scorn and derision heaped upon them. make no mistake: their discourse is, in and of itself, violence
