i am once again ringing the zizek bell:
pure ideology takes form when someone thinks they have escaped from ideology. when we remove or distance ourselves from ideology, that’s when we are under its heaviest influence. let’s talk about trans people and cis-normative ideology 1/6
@CDIGODDESS white people dont succumb to bigotry instantly after having a singular negative experience with a member of a minority group challenge difficulty level: GIGA IMPOSSIBLE X100
Trans women are the ultimate avatar for misogynists hatred of women. They can freely and openly express their desire to exercise violence on us while also expressing fetishistic desire to us in private (our dms).
as a trans person you develop a sixth sense at detecting which type of ally you have: who likes you, who tolerates you, who would fight for you and who just uses your name for woke points
transphobia isnt bad because it hurts all women, its bad because it kills trans people. it also sucks that it hurts everyone else but that isnt the core issue
Not only are trans lesbians not universally accepted they’re one of the least accepted groups and permissible targets for other queers to call “degenerate perverts who don’t understand boundaries and ick me out”. They are the primary targets of transmisogyny.
It's frightening to be trans in the U.S., especially in red states. To that end, I'm excited to finally able to share what I've been working on for the past year: 110+ pages of trans refugee relocation resources, guides, and support networks within the shield states. 🔗👇
I can’t believe that so much of the focus of DID is put on it being the ‘Quirky alters disorder’.

Congress just voted to fuse the U.S. military with Israel and buried it on page 847, so you wouldn’t notice.
Section 224 of the $1.15 trillion NDAA makes Israel apart of the pentagon forever.
This should scare you!
“How did we go from paper straws to data centres?”
Because no one listened to the environmentalists who said unchecked corporate pollution was the bigger issue.
