Queer people on tumblr: other people in this "community" are the oppressor actually

I know most of those following me know this, but just to make it super clear. An Gorta Mór (The Great Hunger/the Great Famine) was a deliberate genocide of the Irish people. There was enough food grown in Ireland to make sure everyone was alive and healthy and survived. Instead it was exported, sent to England and elsewhere for profit while men, women, and children starved in the streets. While the English landlords fucked off and evicted starving families who couldn’t afford rent. While babies were too weak to cry and died at the side of the road.

This is why I get so angry when people say “it was the potato famine, it was because of monoculture/microbes.”

"male socialization" has become such a great cudgel against trans women because it's the perfect way to launder all your bioessentialist misogyny under the guise of social critique

you can just kind of gesture at socialization theory and everyone autofills it with their bioessentialist assumptions

I don't think my parents are aware that what they did was abuse. in fact I think one of the reasons they abused me was because they lacked the self-awareness, introspection, and education needed to realize what they were doing counted as abuse. if they did have more self awareness &etc, they would have likely stopped. it is not productive to insist they woke up in the mornings with the intent to psychologically torture a kid for no reason, when that is self-evidently not the case or within their motivations.
