oh rats

Yeah no wonder so much of truscum ideology is Like That. Brewed up in the brains of sheltered, clueless, intensely self conscious, self righteous babytranses with no understanding of any trans issue other than "I am super dysphoric and I am brainwashed by cis society into thinking being trans is super cringe so I am super embarrassed about it. Therefore anything that reminds that I am not cis, including and especially things that will and do materially improve the actual lives of trans people irl, is actually cringe and the devil and I will react with extreme contempt and aggression from behind my secret tumblr blog"

when t-rfs talk about “peaking” people what they’re talking about is grooming btw

they will for real dedicate/circulate entire threads detailing extremely specifically how to recruit people into their ideology, often through explicitly manipulative and sometimes even outright abusive means. they gloat and joke openly about doing it to friends and partners and coworkers and younger siblings and anonymously to young trans people on the internet. you see this happening pretty much everywhere regardless of whatever blog you’ve clicked on and are hate-reading, it’s integral to their entire ideology of which would probably honestly collapse without it yet they accuse trans people of being in a cult

look at any blog in the “des-sted dysphoric” community to see innumerable further examples of this. they wear that title like a badge, very conversion therapy-esque. i’ve seen these people openly discuss how to convince their trans male and transmasculine friends into detransitioning. threads upon threads of advice on how to do this. a lot of times they even journal about it on their blogs, like “omg my TIF friend wants top surgery 🥺 how do i peak them asap”. this is innately unnatural and predatory behavior

some of yall are like this close to inventing like /r/theredpill for trans men

"women oppress men for being masculine" is an opinion ive seen on mra reddit for years. slapping "trans" on it doesnt make it progressive or even remotely true lmao

Gotten a few messages asking- so far the only person I can identify in this photo is the woman center right, Yvonne Ritter. She snuck out to the Stonewall for her 18th birthday the first night of the infamous raid-turned-revolt, and was detained but slipped out of the paddy wagon as the insurrection began. She went on to become an AIDs activist and nurse, and later peer counselor for other trans people. She’ll be turning 71 this June! You can learn more about her life in this oral history.

self proclaimed leftists with entire graduate degrees on twitter not understanding that tourism in places like latin america and the caribbean is a form of neocolonialism even in places where the national economy is dependent on it. just because the government is making money off of ur lil excursions and hotel stays doesn’t mean regular citizens are, especially in your fave ‘tropical getaway spots’. the fact that sandals wanted to build an entire resort in tobago where my family lives might sound great for the economy or whatever until you realize that they would’ve closed off several acres of land and made it inaccessible to non-tourists which is fucking insane thing to even propose on such a small island. like i’m sorry but do you really think my family is grateful when you crackers come to visit during the winter?? do you really think your presence adds value to their lives?? when the govt invests money in ports but not paving the fucking roads anywhere that’s not downtown/vacation home territory?? you white losers need to put down ur marx for like half a sec and pick up a small place by jamaica kincaid. ​like lol if you wanna be a tourist be a tourist but don’t fucking act like anyone who refers to it as a contemporary form of colonialism is doing too much. ESPECIALLY when this sentiment is legit coming directly from the people living in the getaways you love to visit. i genuinely don’t understand how y’all can grasp the “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism” shit but can’t understand this.

tourists visit a place where the livelihoods of the 5% of the population they actually interact with are dependent on how well they’re able to kiss their asses and make them feel like they’re the most important people in the world and somehow they genuinely believe that this translates to all of the locals actually liking, respecting, and needing them.

(I hope this isn't derailing sorry op but the same applies to Hawai'i. many of these issues are also very present here. stop coming here, we are fucking overrun. support hawaiian sovereignty)

Terfs saying the jeopardy lady has an advantage over "real women" because men can push buttons faster is so fucking funny

Also this implies that Jeopardy should always be segregated by gender because of the button pushing advantage

like, the second poster then goes on to cite transphobic medical mistreatment, which is ofc an issue in the real world, but my point is that if you clearly don’t even understand what male privilege IS then how are you going to go out and explain that you don’t have it by using examples that aren’t even really ABOUT it, while still expecting for people to like… think that you’re an authority? this is like those callout posts that like start with “has headcanons i dislike” and ends with “murdered their sister.” you are actively making the choice to shoot yourself in the foot and then telling the emergency services they’re victim blaming you for telling you that you’re being kinda stupid by aiming at yourself instead of the gigantic target on the wall

Maybe we shouldn’t be romanticizing cannibals of any form...

because of reading this poem I've decided that cannibalism is really fun and sexy and harmless and I fully endorse doing it in real life to anyone you want💗

That’s not going to age well 🤣
