I'm gonna be very honest, I'm tired of the amount of queer 'pick me's I have been seeing lately on social media.

One I got in mind which is really appreciated by the right-wing fellas is Blaire White. Basically she's a conservative trans woman that makes youtube videos and tweets (probably more, but idk).

From what I've seen, 90% of her content is her reacting to popular trans influencers and lgbtq+ rights activists. I am all for calling out problematic influencers, but, most of the time, the people she's targeting are just "weird" or have a more unique way of expressing their gender.

It is very clear that her main purpose is to attract the republican audience, but my question is why? Why are you using your platform to actively harm and shame the community that gave you the right to express your true self? How arrogant do you have to be to believe that gender expression is only valid if it's 'your way', and to use your platform to insult those who do not check your little boxes? Why would you do all of this for a community of people that does not respect you and your identity at all and is voting to take your rights away? Oh, wait! You voted that, too!

In my opinion, Blaire White and people like her are way weirder than any neurodivergent trans furry with the longest genders list and 50 neoproununs. And no, I don't want to hear any of y'all saying 'Well, she can't be transphobic! She's trans herself!" Transphobia is hatred towards trangender people strictly because of their identity. And you don't even have to click on her videos to see that her account is mostly based on that.

Call me hateful as much as you want, but I will not change my mind on right-wing queer influencers. I think voting for that orange fellon is a huge red flag itself, but being part of the lgbt+ community and a Trump supporter only makes me assume that you're either not educated enough to vote or a very insecure person, hungry for pointless validation.

Feminism is devided in multiple categories, which have different beliefs, yet the same idea. Some feminists fight for equality between men and women, while other fight for the liberation of women from men. Regardless of what they believe, they're both combating the same issue: misogyny.

P*rnography has done ireversable damage to people's brains, especially to men, since they make the majority of its consumers. Unfortunately, since the existence of the internet, p*rn has become dangerously uncomplicated to access, making it very easy for kids to watch. No child should be exposed to such disturbing, yet unrealistic material. This type of content is probably the worst way for a child to find out about the existence of s*x, plus they are way more predisposed to become p*rn addicts or content creators later in life.

Both boys and girls are affected by the p*rn industry, but why are girls and women more negatively impacted? Well, since most of its watchers are straight men, the content is centered around the women, or, to be more specific, the female body. The fact that companies are profiting of n*ked women and using their bodies as a form of entertainment clearly proves how objectified women are.

It's true that in most cases, the p*rnstars know and consent to do the things they do, but what many people don't realise is that the representation of s*xual n*dity to the public doesn't only affect the people participaiting in the creation, but also the perseption of humans in general. You have to be really naive to believe that most of the p*rnstars' bodies are natural. A lot of the times they have to go through insane and dangerous surgeries to fit in the ridiculous standards the industry has. Sometimes they also edit the bodies digitally to make them look "perfect". So, since men are the ones buying into it the most, they are becoming more detached from reality, having high standards and sometimes adopting unacceptable behaviours. Also, since women are the main focus in p*rnographic content, they are also the ones mostly suffering from it. Feeling insecure about their physical appearence and having to accept disturbing acts by men are only some of the things women have to go through because of this wildely accepted industry.

As I said in the last paragraph, sometimes the viewer takes harmful behaviours and ideas from the content they consume. I believe that a lot of the content that is posted on those type platforms is straight-up sexist. Let's be serious, you can not convince me that stuff like BDSM or "Gang-bang" isn't made to satisfy r*pists. Or that the famously searched "18 year old" or "teen" aren't made to satisfy p*dos. It's honestly so disturbing, I actually can't believe how it is allowed.

Now I want to talk a little bit about the p*rnstars. I've seen a lot of people blame them for the existence of p*rnography, which is understandable, but I don't think they're the first to blame. Being exposed to such content, especially from a young age, surely influences the person's decisions. All at more because a lot of these models and actresses are paid even millions for a fairly easy job. But, not to forget, that this is at the cost of their dignity and safety. Do they know that? Most of them probably do. Unfortunately, that doesn't overtake the desperate need of money, which can, in some situations, be cause by misogyny, either in workplace or education. In some rare cases, it can result from traumatic experiences, which make the person feel the need to s*xualise themselves a lot more than the average person. Either way, being a p*rnstars is not something ideal, and I feel bad for every person who has to be put in the situation of selling their own bodies to strangers to gain their existence.

Another important reason why some women work in the industry is because of how, not only normalised, but also encouraged p*rnography is by a specific category of feminists. They believe that a woman has the right to decide what to do with her body and that everyone that is against the industry is automatically sexist because they're against women making their own choices and "gaining their own money". Personally, I understand the perspective, but I still strongly disagree. I refuse to believe that someone that considers women objectifing their bodies and "selling it" to mentally unstable men is somehow "empowering" has any idea what feminism actually is.
