out of all the famous rapists that nobody talks abt the 1 thats annoying me the most rn is neil degrasse tyson did you know that when he was in graduate school for astronomy he drugged and raped the only other black student in the department & she ended up quitting the field ? if you look at her instagram 1 of her stories highlights is called sexual assault & she says she does miss being a scientist & working on her research project but that shes glad shes a musician now. shes also into some weird spirituality stuff which puts neils reddit atheist shtick into a whole new perspective ...... he has 3 more allegations under his belt btw & 2 of those women are scientists themselves & the other 1 quit working on his fucken astronomy documentary series bc of him like i genuinely do not understand how he still gets to call himself a science educator & brag abt how hes getting more people interested in astronomy when he keeps sexually assaulting scientists & 2 people have already quit the field because of him like explain it to me like im five

this (12/07/2018) is an article for scientific american by chanda prescod-weinstein about the assaults that I’d really recommend reading. prescod-weinstein is how I first heard about these allegations myself

I think its a pretty weird thing how men of any minority group has the instinct to completely fuck over the women of the same minority group any chance they get. That happens with black women, trans women, lesbians. They never want to give up the patriarchal power they have on society, they want that power. And they can't be solidary towards the women, they always find ways to undermine us as people.

Having listened to the rest of the 20 minute panel I have a lot of thoughts because the part at the end was making me lose my mind a little. The first speaker, Kaji Amin, ends his panel by arguing, "trans studies without class analysis merely forwards the elite class interests and class tastes of those able to make our trans careers in academia." Which, like, I do absolutely agree with, & it does reinforce the claim made at the beginning of the video, which was that trans studies has undervalued analyzing the relationship between gender & class. The panel moderator in the beginning specifically says that they're excited to address that before giving the mic to Amin. And so it's just crazy to then proceed to give a 20 minute panel in which you talk almost exclusively about the privileges associated with staying in the closet for trans women. like, yes it's important to analyze the relationship between gender and class but if you were actually devoted to doing that you would be talking more in-depth about the ways in which being transfeminized affects one's socioeconomic status, instead of focusing on the situations where the transfeminized person is actually granted the opportunity for socioeconomic mobility (with almost no thought given to the cost that comes with staying in the closet). and while Amin argues that this is a widespread phenomenon, in the example with Denise D'Ann he acknowledges that D'Ann's ability to avoid sex work & the street queen way of life was "No small accomplishment during the mid-century" (do you think it might be worth talking more about how so many transfeminized persons in the mid-20th century needed to do sex work or become street queens to survive?) and so I'm just baffled by the myopia required to end off your section of that panel, on a panel with no transfems present, by acknowledging the fact that without adequate class analysis, trans studies, is doomed to reflect only the ideas of those able to make their trans careers in academia. I wonder if there might be a group of trans people who notoriously have a more difficult time building a career in academia? Maybe class analysis could even help us identify this problem? There's probably no point to it though, I'm sure trans studies as a field doesn't have, like, a reputation for being exclusionary to trans women & transfems or anything. Now to just take a huge sip of my drink and

the concept that undertale/deltarune is too complex or too difficult to translate is so fucking funny. like your fucking video game is better than every piece of classic literature. they translated the gilgamesh tablets into spanish, i think your skeleton oc wont cause an issue

if your answer to "should trans women be allowed in women's sports?" is "it's nuanced" you might as well call us all slurs under the sun and spit in our faces. it's essentially the same thing at this point

the supergirl scene that made me happiest, as a dyspraxic person w sound sensitivity, is the scene that shows kara using music over headphones to block out her super hearing bc I do that too 🥹 and I hope neurodivergent kiddos w the same sensitivity get to see that too.
