falling, flying, tumbling in turmoil

what if, and hear me out here, it didn't matter whether a transmisogynistic caricature was "intended" to depict a trans woman. what if we could acknowledge that symbols carry meanings beyond what a creator put in them, and that you cannot divorce them from the society that will read them? what if we recognized that a character exactly resembling the worst stereotypes about a group of people will cause harm to that group no matter whether the text refers to them as a member of that group? what if it didn't fucking matter whether buffalo bill is a "real transsexual" because real transsexuals routinely get accused of being buffalo bills anyways

white people you don’t need to say you’re white when you reblog this btw. you don’t even need to mention it btw

It is so unsettling that Obama has killed thousands via drones covered up that children were being killed and families were wiped out and relatives have to live with the fact theyll never get justice and now I have to see people repost his reading list every year. Liberals would be horrified if Putin did something like that but when its Obama or Bush or Clinton they just dont care

god 50 years ago you really could go see a trashy b-movie and it still had gorgeous cinematography, lighting and set design, fun costumes and makeup, and now a hollywood production could have 80 million dollars thrown at it only for it to look like a drawn-out tv commercial for laundry detergent

So we are all in agreement that Terra from Teen Titans is a trans girl right. Like it is the most screamingly obvious case I've ever seen.

like. you're telling me that the lanky runaway in tomboyish clothes who tells bad jokes and is desperate for a home but is too afraid and avoidant to ever stay in one place because she's insecure about her Secret and the damage and unlovability she blames herself for gets her trust issues exploited by a predatory older man with a fixation on her? TMA.

If you are a cis white woman who considers yourself an ally of the trans community, your job is to go on every news program, podcast, anything and sob your eyes out over the horrific treatment of trans women and especially trans women of color because your tears are the only ones the patriarchy even pretends to care about

Reblog to bully people who don't like female characters or women in general off the internet.
