"come again?"

"i learn more from thinking machine. human gender preference. attraction to same gender, means word 'gay.' all eridian same gender." rocky stands straight up. "rocky come out to grace now. all rocky plural gay, statement."

"...wow, that's... rock, i'm not sure it makes much sense to apply human ideas of sexual orientation to a monogendered species."

a long and judgmental pause. then:

Israel has not honored the ceasefire for a single moment.

Friends, thank you so much for the massive support and these 15 recent donations!

Thank you so much for the 12 additional donations! My family consists of 12 people. We have already lost my father and my brother to this war, and we cannot afford to lose Samer.

Imagine the slice of life moments we'd get of them? Maybe something about Soaps family, i always imagined him having a dozen sisters.

anyway this movie is everything to me I listened to the movie playlist a ridiculous amount of times making this and I will continue to do so

Other's tags, but I'd like to highlight the fact you can no longer just *find* an article that's giving the actual testimony anymore.

here's the KYM page if anyone else was curious.

bc they know most marginalized ppl are sick of being spoken over by white men. So if you can construe this as a White Men Issue everyone will just unthinkingly agree and adopt this mindset bc of course white men dont need more of the stage.

But thats NOT WHATS HAPPENING. You are silencing other racialized and marginalized and disproportionately silenced people under the guise of it being white men jerking themselves off. You are enacting the white man's agenda (and upholding white supremacist ideology in more ways than one) by repeating this shit uncritically.

Some of the smartest and most forward thinking and eloquent bloggers on the subject of transandrophobia ARE RACIALIZED TRANS MEN... including the guy who coined the fuckin phrase.

Like do you realize how insane it is to call this term racist as a ploy to get us to abandon it. Do you realize how insanely racist that is in and of itself? To say nothing of being ahistorical nonsense that CLEARLY, at FACE VALUE, isnt even remotely engaging with the stuff it claims to be refuting???

Meanwhile reading posts and discussions out here from actually Black, Indigenous, other racialized, disabled & multiply oppressed transmascs is like this:

Oh, so you agree? Youre being transphobic?

The gay community (and heterosexuals) on the whole fetishize gnc women and butches. I know you all know what consent is. I know you all know when someone is made uncomfortable by your comments. You are aware.

We’re not sexual objects to fulfill your desire or a safe masculine option for you to get out what ever you need to get out. We’re people with desires, feelings, insecurities, etc. Not all, though, many of us do fight addiction, depression, and alcoholism, among other things.

Please listen to butches, studs, and other gnc people and women bc I’m tired. We’re tired. We love and protect you with all our hearts. As a rural butch who has been kissed n shit against my will by straight men I want to tell you that no amount of masculinity will keep you safe. As a rural butch who’s had women assault me I want to tell you that it doesn’t matter who you’re with it might happen to you.

Butches always watch your back, make sure you watch theirs.
