All fucked up and I make it look good

purity politics

Q. You want to raise every boy as a girl? Yes.

Q. Why? A boy will learn to hate girls as long as he is raised in such a way where he is treated as better, and superior to, his girl peers, whenever he is cruel to girls. So, instead, we raise boys as girls.

Q. What if they say they are not a girl, and want to be acknowledged as boy? Then you know they are a boy, so you must make sure to understand them as boy, and not a girl.

Q. What does it mean to be 'raised as a girl'? That's up for you to decide. The only difference is that you should not raise boys any differently than you raise girls, since you raise every boy as a girl.

Q. Girls and boys are raised in specific ways for specific purposes, so it does not make sense to raise boys as girls. If you raise every boy as a girl, then there is no being which is not raised as a girl, so anyone raised as a girl necessarily must learn to do anything and everything to grow up, without restrictions on tasks, labours, or interests.

Q. But boys and girls are different. All two girls are different, and raising girls in one specific way destroys this individuality in favour of moulding girls to serve the same master. Still, the girls resist to live life on their own terms. If girls can be raised such that they know they can do anything they want, including not being girls, so too will boys raised as girls.

Q. Why not raise every girl as a boy? Because if a girl does not exist among boys, then the girl is made.

Q. Why not raise girls and boys as themselves? The self must be made in a world where girls and boys can first and foremost be themselves. One step towards this goal is to raise every boy as a girl.

Q. The way people raise girls is cruel, so why would you raise boys with that cruelty? If you raise girls with cruelty, then you should stop being cruel to girls.

as i understand it the core point being made here is challenging the concept of "raising a child as a gender" entirely by going straight to the misogyny that is fundamental to patriarchal gender. to me this suggests "raise boys as girls" is about raising boys to identify with girls, rather than to develop an identity as a boy around opposition to girls. this is not being depicted as simply "genderless parenting" because it is making a specific point about misogyny & its role in gender socialization and identity formation. to deviate from patriarchal demands of masculinity is to become associated with femininity / girls regardless of intention or actual intentional performance of femininity (what i assume is meant by "a girl is made"). rather than trying to pursue an almost apolitical gender neutrality that fails because it doesn't engage with the role misogyny plays in preserving patriarchal gender as a whole, gender neutrality is presented as synonymous with identifying with girls, as under patriarchy the entire construction of gender is built (not exclusively but fundamentally) through sexism that is both oppositional (exorsexist) and traditional (misogynistic).

the point is that raising a girl should not involve cruelty, or stereotype, or stigmatization, and boys should be encourage to feel no shame or identity conflict in identifying as the same kind of being as girls. so its a purposeful act of provocation to say "boys should be raised as girls" which to me sends the message that challenging misogyny and challenging the construction of gender itself are the same project. and that being (raised as) a girl should not mean anything other than being raised as a whole person, as part of a community of whole people.

I had trouble understanding this part, so I reframed it in my head as:

"Because if [the other] does not exist... then [the other] is made."

Which might not be exactly what this is going for, but it helped me understand it a little more, at least from one angle.

tldr: theres an ad with flickering lights currently prominently displayed at a major train station in berlin, and i'm asking people to join me in bothering the adspace company about that.

So. at S-Bahnhof Friedrichstraße (a very central train station to local public transit) in Berlin, Germany there's currently an ad being displayed on giant fucking displays that has a sequence with pretty prominent flickering lights. prominent enough to give me a headache at least. so this post has two functions, for now

a warning to people with photosensitive epilepsy. i saw it play there as of today (7th July 2026). it's a pretty short sequence (1-2 seconds) in an ad that first shows a young white woman with dark hair wearing headphones in a only very dimly lit surface. i know for sure it's being played at platforms 11 and 12, don't know about the other platforms.

to ask people to join me in contacting the company responsible for getting ads on those displays to complain about it. ideally you'd be able to write your own text from the relevant details, but i'll put a translation of what i wrote here bc copy-pasted e-mails would still be preferrable to no e-mails.

The details in question:

where: S-Bahnhof Friedrichstraße, Platform 11 and 12

what: an ad on a big display having a short sequence with very bright flickering lights. i unfortunately can't remember the name of the company, but it shows a young white woman wearing headphones pretty much the entire time.

why a problem: epilepsy trigger (that can kill people in the worst of cases). also headache trigger but that one's a bit less dire. it's in one of the busiest stations in Berlin, thus likely to be seen by a lot of people

what we want them to do: stop playing this ad unedited like that, and stop accepting ads that do this without further editing

whom to bother: the adspace company Ströer. to be contacted (according to the official website of the S-Bahn Berlin). further contact details can be found at https://sbahn.berlin/kontakt/?acc=aa368-p11-t5

which mail address: [email protected]

i'm hoping that if enough people show concern over issues like this, they might feel pressured to do something.

Zusammenfassung: am S Friedrichstraße wird momentan Werbung mit nem Epilepsietrigger auf Großbildschirmen abgespielt, und ich versuche, noch andere Leute dazu zu bringen, die Verantwortlichen deshalb mit Beschwerden zu nerven.

Am S-Bahnhof Friedrichstraße in Berlin wird momentan auf diesen riesigen Werbemonitoren eine Werbung abgespielt, die einen Abschnitt it sehr stark flackerndem Licht beeinhaltet, das stark genug ist, meine chronischen Kopfschmerzen zu verschlimmern. Daher dieser Post, zu zwei Zwecken:

als Warnung für Leute mit photosensitiver Epilepsie. Ich war zuletzt heute (07.07.2026) dort, als ich das gesehen hab. ich weiß leider den Namen der beworbenen Firma nicht mehr, angefangen hat es mit einem ziemlich dunklen Video einer hellhäutigen jungen Frau mit langen Haaren, die Kopfhörer aufhat, hinter Text. Betroffen sind auf jeden Fall Gleis 11 und 12 (die unterirdischen), ich weiß leider nicht, wie es mit dem Rest des Bahnhofs aussieht.

um noch ein paar mehr Leute dazu zu kriegen, eine Beschwerde-Email an die Werbefirma zu schreiben. Strength in numbers and all that. Idealerweise nicht einfach meinen Text kopieren, sondern zumindest etwas abändern, aber kopiert ist besser als nicht gesendet.

Relevante Details zum Mailschreiben: Wo: S-Bahnhof Friedrichstraße, Gleise 11 und 12 Was: Eine Werbung auf einem großen Bildschirm mit einer kurzen Sequenz, in der sehr helle Lichter flackern. Ich kann mich leider nicht mehr an den Namen des Unternehmens erinnern, aber darin ist fast die ganze Zeit eine junge weiße Frau mit Kopfhörern zu sehen. Warum ist das ein Problem?: Auslöser für Epilepsie (was im schlimmsten Fall tödlich sein kann). Außerdem Auslöser für Kopfschmerzen, aber das ist etwas weniger dringend. Sie befindet sich in einem der verkehrsreichsten Bahnhöfe Berlins und wird daher wahrscheinlich von vielen Menschen gesehen. Was wir von ihnen erwarten: Diese Werbung nicht mehr in dieser unbearbeiteten Form zu zeigen und keine Anzeigen mehr unbearbeitet anzunehmen, wo so ein Flackern drin ist. Wen kontaktieren: Das Werbeflächenunternehmen Ströer. Kontaktmöglichkeiten (laut der offiziellen Website der S-Bahn Berlin). Weitere Kontaktdaten finden man unter https://sbahn.berlin/kontakt/?acc=aa368-p11-t5 E-Mail-Adresse: [email protected]

Ich habe die vage Hoffnung, dass genug E-Mails eventuell dazu führen könnten, dass sich da irgendwas ändert. Mehr Hoffnung jedenfalls als nur mit einer Mail.
