@gummywormmmmmmm@poicafy Exactlyyy!! Trans women still benefit from male privilege and get to be the center of trans topics because as always misogyny is against women & afab people first.
@liiveleaked No? Don't put words in my mouth? The point of the original post was that trans women held an innate advantage over trans men. This is showing that neither group benefits from that supposed privilege, and are in fact harmed vs the typical cis person in similar ways.
@StoneColdToast By "cudgel of male privilege" I mean the cudgel of accusing trans *women* of holding male privilege. I don't think its useful to talk about trans men holding male privilege writ large when they're obviously disadvantaged enormously vs cis men.
@StoneColdToast No? Where did I say that?
Trans men are marginally less punished by the intersection of transphobia and misogyny than trans women are but they are clearly worse off than cis people, both men and women - that's what that data shows

@StatisticUrban That both decisions must be structured by incentives driving an economic actor to make decisions that are not only divergent from his personal interests, but also from the interests of the vast majority of people.
@StatisticUrban The conspiracist makes a mistake in his understanding of the structure of the link between the two issues, but his intuition is correct in recognizing both in the construction of data centers and in the underfunding of transit that the interests being served are not his + and
ICE admitted in court that it did, in fact, track down this man at his hotel with his 7-year-old daughter and gave him a threatening letter because he sent ICE Director Todd Lyons this email.
I wasn't completely in love with Camp Miasma either BUT i think it's really clear that ISTVG was about how passively identifying with media ultimately stunts self realization while Camp Miasma is an elaboration about how you can use engagement with art to self realize...
as long as you're engaging in your own acts of creation. In ISTVG Maddy does engage in self-creation and it contrasts with Owen's passivity, but Camp Miasma doesn't have that counterpoint of passivity because i think it's more focused on the culmination of that process.
