@xexqy its crazy that the modern trans community is just transphobes that hijacked the trans label and just insult and harass transsexual people now. crazy we let that happen

i am a notoriously terrible and distant friend but i have accepted that maybe that is my role for now. i think if i smell more smells and watch more movies and live more i can become an average friend. but it’s okay either way. i am experiencing things. i am an experience.

[taylor venus 🏳️‍🌈 🍉🦋 @vampirealicent]

so many friendships that were admittedly probably already on thin ice have been ultimately ruined by my OCD compulsion to overexplain to the point I sound like I’m trying to convince them of smthn when I’m just trying to make sure I’ve covered everything and not accidentally lied

Hot take: I think we all basically know why

[Un Étrange En Terre Étrange @LoinDuTribu]

The truly macabre thing about Niemietz's argument is how utterly unoriginal it is.

Civil rights were dismissed as fashionable radicalism. Women's liberation was a passing fad. Gay liberation was metropolitan chic.

Reactionaries have spent generations pretending that demands for equality are merely fashionable opinions adopted by people seeking social status.

It's a wonderfully convenient fiction, because it allows them to imagine themselves as persecuted outsiders, even when they're defending the interests of people with enormous wealth, influence and power.

And now we've reached the point where a billionaire is apparently excluded from Britain's elite because some people think she's a bigot.

The ruling class must be absolutely devastated to learn it can no longer afford to rule.

fake problem, sorry. trans women are overwhelmingly left wing. the idea that there's a big fascist contingent is the result of being on the computer too much. grow up.

You open by clarifying that you do not want trans people dead. Thank you for the spoiler. The rest of the piece, however, treats the existence of people like me (trans women who have medically transitioned, live as women, and ask only that our material reality not be legislated out of every public category) as an existential threat to the very concept of “woman.” That is not a statement of concern. It is a demand that we vanish into a pure biological definition you control.

You repeatedly describe the “dominant strain of trans activism” as the claim that any man who declares himself a woman is literally a woman, entitled to every female space, every sports category, every rape-crisis room, and every lesbian’s dating pool. This is a useful caricature. It lets you collapse a wide range of people and practices into a single predatory figure: the heterosexual male who retains male pattern criminality, male strength, and male sexual orientation while demanding entry. Some such individuals exist. Some have committed terrible crimes. Safeguarding against them is necessary. What you refuse to grant is that this figure is not coextensive with the category “trans woman,” nor that the policy response must be the categorical erasure of sex-based recognition for everyone who has transitioned.

I am a trans woman. I am also a lesbian and a mother of daughters. I have been on estrogen for years. I pass as a woman in public spaces. My body is not that of an unaltered adult male, and my social existence is not that of a man who has simply announced a new title. When you write that “if a man can be a woman, there is no such thing as a woman,” you are not describing a logical necessity. You are describing the conclusion you have already chosen: that any acknowledgment of transition must dissolve the category entirely. That is not how categories work when material reality is more complicated than the binary you prefer. Intersex conditions, hormonal variation, and long-term medical transition produce bodies and social positions that do not fit cleanly into the pre-transition male template you treat as permanent. Acknowledging this does not require pretending that sex is a costume or that every male who says “woman” must be housed in a women’s prison. It requires refusing the claim that the only alternative to total self-ID is total exclusion and denial.

You note, correctly, that not all women are equally affected by these policies, and that elite women can afford private security and the luxury of abstract slogans. Working-class women and rape survivors cannot. This is true, and it is a reason for careful, case-by-case safeguarding rather than a reason to treat every trans woman as an undifferentiated male risk. It is also a reason to notice who else is made more vulnerable by the rhetoric you advance. Trans women are disproportionately victims of violence. Many of us are also survivors. The women-only rape crisis center you fund is a legitimate response to a real problem; the accompanying insistence that the only coherent feminism is one that defines us out of womanhood is not. When institutions over-reach (placing an intact male in a women’s prison or a rape-crisis role without regard to pattern of offending or medical status), they create the scandals you document. Those scandals do not license the reverse over-reach: the claim that any recognition of transition is “Stonewall Law” and must be rolled back in full.

You invoke Orwell and the freedom to say that two plus two is four. The freedom to state biological facts is real and has been threatened in some workplaces and institutions. It is not the same thing as the freedom to decide, by fiat, that medical and social transition changes nothing about the person who has undergone it, and that anyone who disagrees is participating in a top-down elite plot to abolish women. Past movements for rights expanded recognition without requiring that the prior category be dissolved. (1/2)

Gerda Wegeners so cool.. born 1885 and made lesbian erotica art inspired by her wife who came out as a trans woman ten years into their marriage and was one of the first one of the first to ever have sex reassignment surgery. The danish government annulled their marriage over it

I looted a few pharmacies during the 2020 Long Beach riots. It’s past the statute of limitations now, so I can talk freely about my experience with the rioters and the general mood and motivations of those involved.
A lot of people view looters as roving bands of undiscerning thieves. But there is a set of principles instilled in these enraged civilians. We targeted corporate businesses and hostile government apparatuses like the police. I saw many a police car, covered in graffiti, fleeing in terror as rocks and trash were thrown at their shattered windows. I also saw people turn their gaze on small businesses, owned by locals. But I also saw others who saw that gaze.
Most of the rioters policed themselves, threatening and discouraging anyone from targeting small businesses and the livelihoods of locals. The targets were the government and big business. And everyone understood and repeated those rules of engagement to anyone who needed to hear it. We looted corporate pharmacies, corporate fashion, corporate fast food. We looted every corporate behemoth that had machinated against our rights and refused to listen to words.
There was camaraderie to an extent I have never experienced since bar from close friends. People stuck their necks out to help strangers. I got stuck in a grate hopping the counter out of a pharmacy, and a man whose face I never saw noticed me, pushed me by my shoulders through the grate and freed me, and yelled “GO BRO GO!”
The sirens I heard outside had resigned me to the possibility of arrest, but this stranger who had been in the pharmacy looting alongside me helped me, because he wasn’t in there for greed. He wasn’t there to get rich. Nobody was there to get rich. Everyone was there to get what they had been denied. Everyone was there to gather what they and their loved ones lacked. The homeless perused socks and toiletries in the front of the store. I perused medicine for my friends and neighbors in the back of the pharmacy. Other looters took luxuries that were dangled in front of them that their bosses would never let them afford.
So are rioters violent? They can be. Are they a danger to you? Not unless you’re a threat to their freedom. Are they greedy? No. They’re just your tired and desperate friends and neighbors taking back what’s been stolen from them.

That this was in a mixed sex ward tells us that this is 100% about the existence of trans people at all, and no amount of "biological sex" capitulation will satisfy these maniacs.

[charlotte @koprulusector]

why do people think "v-coding" just means "prison rape"? its more than that. v-coding is not being put in a situation where youre likely to be raped its being sentenced to rape. its systemic, its institutionalized, its explained to you by staff that thats what theyre doing to you

[✦ Cori ✦ @DeliaCore]

a lot of ppl dont actually contend with the reality of how trans ppl are oppressed and instead just sorta imagine like door-to-door gestapo. Ppl are chased out of the workplace for being trans, forced into sex work, arrested for that, then v-coded using existing prison systems

[awesomegworl2004 @hashtagloosey]

@archingtonarchi @rlycrossedup atp it feels dangerous because it can mean anything and the true meaning is lost but its still overall considered a bad thing to be, so people can use it to paint anyone as “bad” just by using the word transmed and if called out just say thats the definition that they heard

@gracemodermind it's literally just non-transititioning actual cis people raving about how much they hate trannies but twisted inside out with doublespeak to posture as somehow being the actually progressive ones
