i'm also really annoyed at how often i say fatphobia and people respond with body image issues. no, it's not always body image issues. fatphobia is a system of dehumanization.
Our terrible habit of making everything about individual experiences, rather than culture-wide prejudices and the systemic bullshit that develops from those prejudices.
Put another way, how I feel about my body personally is private-- the problem is that medical support equipment like compression wear, wheelchairs, and diagnostic scanners cannot accomodate fat bodies, which shortens lifespans and lowers quality of life for thousands of people.
"I'm only criticizing the people who are lazy on purpose" is just not the reassurance people think it is when nearly every disabled person has been accused of not really being disabled and just being lazy on purpose
a leftist man on here who tried to argue with me about whether men benefit from patriarchy & who thinks that "patriarchy" is a poor analytic in general screenshotted a woman blaming "patriarchy" for an instance of interpersonal misogyny of the non-life-threatening kind and said that it didn't make sense—
—like, if the argument is that "patriarchy" leads to women being trafficked, abused, exploited, raped, killed, &c., isn't it trivializing to reduce it to something that explains a man being rude to you?
& it was just so fucking stupid because you could say the same thing about any framework used to analyse any system of marginalisation / exploitation / oppression &c. that's just kind of how these things work.
if somebody asks me where I'm "really" from, I'm not wrong to identify this as one of the shallow or surface-level effects of white supremacy, even while understanding that white supremacy also describes systems of trafficking, exploitation & death. I don't get the logic here
put another way—are we arguing that putting into place a logic by which people are inflected by certain roles that govern labour, movement, who is allowed to do what and go where, who is useful for what purposes, who is disposable and who is not, etc., and continually enforcing this system with violence—is the argument that being surrounded by such a system would not impact how people speak to each other? why not?
or else, is the argument that the impacts such a system has on how people speak and behave to each other should be analysed with a completely different framework than the one used to analyse the "system itself"? why?
and, if this is the argument you want to make, where do you draw the dividing line between a "material" and a "surface-level" effect? "surface-level" things like how you're spoken to & regarded socially can have an impact on the "material." if people in a collective housing situation "microaggress" a trans woman until she snaps & then use that as an excuse to kick her out, is this social or material?
Caldwell’s boyfriend, 38-year-old Jonathan Fernandez, has been charged with murder.
another Black woman lost to intimate partner violence. another Black woman lost to transfemicide. Black trans women are some of the most visible among us, statistically face the highest rates of violence, and are still at the bedrock of every trans community, holding up half the sky. Black trans women deserve to be loved out loud and uplifted and appreciated while they're still here.

The bipartisan push to remove anonymity from the internet is ushering in an era of unprecedented mass surveillance and censorship.
"The problem is that there’s no way to reliably verify someone’s age without verifying who they are. A platform cannot magically discern that a user is 16 without collecting identifying information, whether through government documents such as a passport, payment information like a credit card, or other identity-disclosing data. Whether that data is stored by the platform itself or outsourced to a vendor, the result is always the same: A user’s offline identity is forever linked with their online behavior.
Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It would allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship, endangering the most marginalized members of society. Whistleblowers exposing corporate wrongdoing could be tracked and fired, government employees speaking out about illegal behavior or bad policies could face prosecution, and activists organizing protests could be identified and surveilled before ever setting foot on the street."
And this is exactly the kind of thing US lawmakers will decide for US citizens, and it will effect everyone who uses the internet globally. Already any kind of age verification amounts to "hand over your government identification to a private US corporation".
I dont know what solutions might be on a broader scale, but its absurd for one country to have this much power and for their private corporations to be handed this amount of authority from literally world governments demanding "safety for children". This power structure is absurd.
Yall USians have got to shut down all this bullshit, youre the ones who vote these people in and out. Theyre not gonna give a shit what foreigners have to say.
This kind of legislation is in the interests both of massive corporations, who think they can squeeze a little more money out of you by monitoring every moment of your life, and the political interests who think vulnerable groups need to be taught their place in a white supremacist, eugenic vision of the world, by being made even more vulnerable to deportation, mass incarceration (and I'm including in this list the concentration camps already being built to incarcerate people living unhoused and people deemed "mentally ill"), as well as outright lynching.
As facism grows more ascendant globally, fighting for privacy is increasingly urgent and crucial in every single other important cause.
If you want to protect any vulnerable people at all, clawing back privacy however and whenever we can is going to have to be part of that protection.
i've said before that i think the this-is-[bigotry] formatted blogs are some of the worst ways that social justice has ever been done on tumblr, which is an incredibly high bar to clear, and i stand by it.
it's not only pointless but actively harmful that blogs exist dedicated to telling people that any and everything that makes them feel bad or excluded in any way is the result of systemic bigotry against their identity groups. like take a look at this one:
this is someone who got made fun of for their music taste and is now embarrassed to talk about it. which sucks. thats a very understandably upsetting thing to happen to you! most of the people who interact with these blogs seem to be teenagers and i understand that shit like "other people think my music taste is cringe" is dead serious at that age.
but there is no actual bigotry happening in what's described here unless you believe that either the music of lemon demon and will wood actually have some innate tie to transmasculine identity, or that being considered to have a lame and embarrassing taste in music is unique to a transmasculine experience.
i am sure everyone in the world in every demographic has experienced an instance where they have felt like they can't be open about their interests or hobbies because they've watched other people get bullied for the same things. or been otherwise given the impression that liking those things reflects on them poorly in some way. this person does not need to be told "you are being subjected to targeted bigotry," this person needs to be told "anything you like will be thought of as cringe by somebody, so you should try and find social groups that are less judgemental or have similar interests."
the biggest problem with these blogs is they have no interest in degrees of severity. nothingburger stuff like this is presented with equal legitimacy as evidence of bigotry alongside stuff that's like, an actual problem. like literally sometimes its just just "an individual woman expressed a negative opinion about men as a category"
back to back with stuff such as talking about being subjected to medical neglect by their doctors, transphobic abuse by their parents, or being rhetorically excluded from discussions of their own reproductive rights.
and im sure the intent is for the weightier complaints to legitimize supposed "microaggressions" like these, but it instead has the opposite effect where it just delegitimizes you entire way of framing things by instead making even the legitimate complaints about real problems look like the insular griping of people with persecution complexes. and that's bad! that's a very bad thing!
obviously anyone actually dismissing legitimate complaints as overblown because of their proximity to illegitimate ones is in the wrong, and instances of that happening are not the fault of these kids who are trying to deal with their issues via questionable blogging choices. but it sure as fuck does not help anyone's case to conflate real problems and fake ones to this degree.
and to be clear even though the screenshots here are from the this-is-transandrophobia blog because thats the one i was just looking at, this isn't unique to them, this is not A Transmasc Problem, it's the whole format. this doesn't help anyone actually understand their own or anyone else's problems, regardless of to what degree bigotry is actually factoring into any discrete example.
all it does is take the culture and structure of confessional blogs, which are detestable petri dishes where the internets most deadly mold spores fester, and put a social justice coat of paint on top of it. they are categorically toxic echo chambers designed to start shit and enable people's feelings of disempowerment and victimhood, and that was bad enough when it was targeted towards niche web communities, but it's even worse when it's targeted towards entire demographics. its bad. just block all of the blogs that structure themselves this way and don't engage with them or any of their fans/followers directly ever lol. there is zero benefit to any of it for anyone on any side of any issue.
Sorry for us politics posting, but we have until May 22, 2026 to submit public comment to the FCC:
More info from GLAAD:
https://glaad.org/fcc/
They have some good tips about writing a comment and protecting your privacy which, fuck it, I'll just paste here:
Providing an email address is optional. If you have concerns about privacy, you may use your initials or public address in your local area, such as City Hall. Do not use a joke name. It diminishes the comment’s credibility.
Your submission does not need to be long. A single, well-reasoned paragraph is sufficient.
Do not copy/paste a template comment. The FCC values unique perspectives, and an original comment carries significantly more weight in the public record. You can explain why this matters to you without revealing private or sensitive personal information.
Here's what I said:
“Free speech is a fundamental American freedom. I do not need a warning about seeing queer people, much like I do not need a warning about women, veterans, or any other group of people.”
Here's the link to submit your comment by May 22:

There is no trans unity.
There is no trans unity while you continue to shout over and ignore racialized trans people. There is no trans unity while you don't care about young trans people and how their resources get stripped away faster than any other trans person's. There is no trans unity while you don't let trans women have any language or resources to protect themselves from transmisogyny. There is no trans unity while you leave disabled trans people to fend for themselves. There is no trans unity while you can't acknowledge pay gaps and murder rates between different demographics of trans people. There is no trans unity while you let white supremacy fester in your spaces. There is no trans unity while you only care about trans people in the imperial core.
There is no trans unity when you only care about what benefits you.
Yeah, it's kind of funny that a lot of companies are now re-hiring junior programmers to save on LLM credits, but it's not surprising. From a pure line-goes-up perspective, working people to death is almost always better than automation. That isn't an indictment of LLMs in particular – it's just how this shit works.
Like, yeah, joke about the "self-driving car" service that turned out to be employing remote drivers in the Philippines if you want, but it's not only a tech grift; the fact of the matter is that even if the technology was there, making that guy in the Philippines pull sixteen-hour shifts with no bathroom breaks until he dies of a bladder infection is almost certainly cheaper than "real" AI would be, and that's the actual reason they do it. They wouldn't deliver on their promises even if they could.

surely the 10,000th post about how rapists and pedophiles should all die violently will be the one that finally creates support structures for victims and those vulnerable to sa and takes steps towards dismantling the power structures that enable sa. we just gotta keep posting about how rapists and pedophiles should all die violently. it's just around the corner
REST IN POWER SHYELL DIAMOND “Mable” SANCHEZ-McCRAY <3
I haven’t seen anyone on here talk about her murder but maybe that’s because I don’t follow a lot of people. Regardless, I just don’t want her death to be erased or forgotten. There’s of course nothing that can be said to quantify the weight and gravity of her loss and I’m praying for her beloved family and friends.
Sanchez-McCray, a title holder in many pageants, was 42.
