@_Nxckname @THELadyDane Granted, modern transgender identity didn't exist during the colonization of the US, but the criminalization of gender nonconformity and sexual deviance which continues to negatively impact the material conditions of trans folks is rooted that colonization.

hi everyone - a government that denies its prisoners the right to vote is a government that now has an extremely vested interest in jailing its political opposition

thank you to coming to this, the literal first class of Civics 101

@_Nxckname @THELadyDane Asserting one's dominance over nations and cultures require rigid rules and violent punishments. That history is trans history. That history surveils, controls, kills trans and gnc bodies. It's never just transphobia.

[Hunter Kirschner @hjramone]

@_Nxckname @THELadyDane These colonial legacies also impact white trans people. For the laws and practices enacted in the colonizing of the US (for example), target gender nonconformity and sexual deviance in all inhabitants....

public service announcement: we are now living through the biggest anti-#trans backlash since the 1970s. it's been going on since at least 2016. it's not just Republicans or evangelicals – it's coming from numerous fronts. & most cis people seem entirely oblivious to it...

People compliment me on my maturity in regards to how I engage with "twitter drama" and a lot of that is due to me refraining from Lashon Hara. So in this thread I'm gonna teach you about Lashon Hara and how, whether you're Jewish or not, you can (and should) refrain from it too.

It's appalling how much of colonized people's time is taken up by emotional demands of "allies" from the dominant society.

Whether or not the burden is intended, it's a tremendous constraint on decolonization.

That feeling of Notre Dame burning down is the same feeling Natives feel since 1492. That is 526 years; 365 days a year, 24/7.

WE’RE STILL BEGGING TO PROTECT OUR SACRED SITES.

The people that criticize "safe spaces" often say college is where people learn to be challenged by difficult ideas. Okay. Great! Which traditional college class teaches you how to deal with the emotional and psychological assaults of patriarchy and white supremacy? /1

I sexually identify as a resource for you to come (home) and get some (rest)

To queer is human

[Hunter Kirschner @hjramone]

Ah yes, the three genders: 'real men,' 'real women,' and deviants.

Capitalism began in England around the 16th century. They immediately went on to colonize half the planet in search of new markets, committed multiple genocides, traded slaves, and engaged in constant war.

In school we learn about how communism is evil because of a famine.

There was a Bob Ross-shaped drag king hole in my life that I didn't know I had that is now filled.
