Blames bi/straight women for the abuse they may face when dating men

Excuses male abusers’ behavior

Often silences male victims of abuse

Gives abusive women a cloak to hide behind

Enables even more abuse in F/F relationships by pretending that F/F relationships are inherently healthier or “purer” than M/F relationships

Is incredibly tone deaf if not blatantly homophobic when MLM are already painted as hypersexual predators 

Often causes internalized transphobia and (trans)misogyny

Is literally just gender essentialism and radfem rhetoric oh my god

He announced his same-sex relationship with his childhood friend Daffy Tong Hok-tak (唐鶴德) during a concert in 1997, earning him prestige in LGBT communities in China, Japan, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. His relationship with Daffy lasted for almost 20 years until his death in 2003.

Not to mention, this recent revival of “nonlesbian” (and its racial variants, “nonasian,” “nonarab,” etc.) is an egregious appropriation of “nonblack.” How many times have we been saying this and telling you to stop using “nonlesbian”? 

Black folks coined “nonblack” to articulate the unique oppression we experience as black people. Antiblackness is an axis of oppression so embedded into our way of life that even black people deny their blackness (looking at you, Afro-Dominicans). Nonblack people of color have tangible privilege over us, and in many countries are full-fledged oppressors of black people. NBPoC have literally colonized our lands, massacred us, destroyed and shamed our cultures out of existence, imprisoned us for using our traditional languages, you get the picture.

We’re honoring Pride Month with a look at LGBTQ+ artists who use languages of craft, textile, handiwork, and assemblage to express queer themes and identities. Inspired by woven and assembled forms, this selection of artworks reminds us of how seemingly small-scale, everyday gestures can create connection, community, visibility, and change.  A Brooklyn-born, queer artist of Nigerian descent, Adejoke Tugbiyele repurposed aso oke (a traditional Yoruba fabric) to create Gele Pride Flag—a work that she has carried in demonstrations and marches in Nigera and the U.S. A transcultural symbol of pride and protest, the banner reinforces the fact that the modern-day LGBTQ+ rights movement owes to a history of revolt and uprising. In the U.S., the 1969 Stonewall Riots were ignited by Black and Latinx trans women, including Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. For Tugbiyele, revolution remains an important part of queer identity. As the artist explains, “One day I woke up and it dawned on me that simply choosing to be me WAS the protest.”

but straight trans people still exist and have just as much space in the community as any of us. trans people aren’t members of the lgbt community by virtue of also being gay/lesbian or bi. trans people belong in the community regardless of sexuality so the implication that “straight” people don’t understand lgbt issues is dumb and completely untrue.

they know how to argue people in. they were argued in. they know about nontransfemnine people’s latent transmisogyny and they know that we are not as vigilant as we should be. they make popular posts.

they are undercover. they pretend to be allies. there are nonbinary TWERFs and TWERFs that are WOC. keep reading. these people have been coerced in and know how to coerce others in. there are many different ways, and there are many different things to look out for.

when i say don’t argue with TWERFs, when i say ignore them and don’t give them a platform in the first place, it’s not a giving up tactic. it’s because TWERFs know that if they can point out one tiny flaw in your logic, or spout some bullshit that some nontransfeminine person has thought about before, they’ve hooked someone.

TWERFs count on preying on the young and impressionable, the people that don’t know or talk to transfeminine people. this has to be pointed out. the only reason i know this is because i am not transfeminine and i have seen many of my peers, not transfeminine, fall to them.

stop arguing that they’re stupid. don’t let your guard down.

When TERFs “debate” you, the purpose is not to convert YOU to their ideology. The purpose is to change the mind of onlookers. Even if you are 100% confident in the necessity of maintaining an alliance with trans women, there is at least one of your followers who is NOT.

Don’t debate TERFs. Don’t boost their ideology. Don’t let them misconstrue your words and thereby paint you (and, by extension, the entirety of the transfeminine populace) as ridiculous.
