Plugging comms again!

As mentioned in my last commission post my father is leaving his job (due to rampant ableism in the workplace) and since its going to be a LONG time until we recieve his social security, things are going to be extremely tight.

So i REALLY need comms rn because it will cover bills, groceries, etc

The old post was losing traction so I decided to make a new one!!

I still haven’t made my goal and my commissions have slowed down so i haven’t gotten any in almost a week!

I still need the money, and I’m afraid cause my post got a lot of notes that people assume I got all the help that I need!!

I still need help!!

Paypal ko-fi patreon Venmo (DM me)

Hey guys so do to a series of shit that’s been snowballing since about July or so, and is now at its culmination now, I need help again.

Most of my patrons on patreon have dropped so now I only get 18 dollars a month (which isn’t their fault, but this is still my only form of income)

The job I applied for didn’t even give me a call back and where I live there isn’t really a whole lot of options for work if you’re disabled like I am, so.

I really need help, and I hate to be asking for so much...but I’ve really run out of options.

Howdy y’all I need commissions cause two of my patrons have dropped out (by no fault of their own, I totally understand when money is tight) but patreon and commissions is my only form of income and my parents expect me to pay for literally everything myself (even though I had to put off getting a job for ANOTHER month because of them need me to stay home) and I literally am in fear

My birthday is this Saturday and I want to be able to treat myself so if you could help an enby out I will literally love you forever

So he got a new job offer and if he takes it we’re going to be forced to move to Qatar for upwards to a decade.

This is a problem because I’m bisexual and nb and they aren’t exactly that friendly to lgbt individuals.

So now I have to move out ASAP. I’ve made barely 200 dollars, which isn’t nearly enough for me to live off of.

So it’s absolutely URGENT that I move out, so if you can help me that’s really be great

We really need to move on from the current performative culture of “no terfs allowed” and “reblog to make a terf angry”

Because that’s not a valuable solution to the underlying problem.

You know what would really bother trans exclusionary/exterminatory radical ‘feminists’?  IRRELEVANCE.  They’re just like the Alt-Right; their worst enemy is an audience that isn’t receptive to their message of hate and won’t give them a voice to keep spreading it.  Instead of giving them a free pass to go back to their echo chambers and prey on young wlw that they can indoctrinate and radicalize into their transphobic cult, make it so that their voices don’t actually reach anyone in the first place.  Deny them stable footing to build a platform on.

You know how you do that?

Build an alternative culture of radical acceptance and validation for trans women in women’s spaces and especially wlw safe spaces.

Don’t just toss out a “fuck terfs” every once in a while and think your job is done.  If you actually want to be an ally to trans women, BE AN ALLY TO TRANS WOMEN.  Make your spaces a safer place for us, and be VOCAL about it.  Be consistent, persistent, and insistent on defining us authentically as women and make it obvious that we’re accepted and welcomed as such.  And make sure you are boosting the voices of trans women in queer and women’s spaces if there’s any doubt that you don’t have the best information to hand out on trans issues, because misinformation about us is the best weapon terfs have.  START DENYING THEM THAT WEAPON BY ACTIVELY PRESENTING A TRUTHFUL NARRATIVE ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE INSTEAD.

This exposes new generations to the reality of trans women’s lives and identities instead of letting terfs pick off and cultivate the vulnerable ones who don’t know any better and using the dismissive nature of performative allyship to convince these young wlw that there’s some gender conspiracy that’s letting men invade women’s spaces.  

(Which is obviously insane just on face value.  Can you honestly even imagine a cis man having to face the reality of womanhood for an extended period of time?  It’d be a trainwreck.  The whole basis of their philosophy falls apart in SECONDS when you just represent the lived experiences of trans women in an honest way.  No cis man could live a day in a trans woman’s shoes.)

If you don’t have the energy to deal with these people personally, by all means care for yourself by keeping them at a distance.  But NEVER believe that slapping a “twerfs can choke” in your bio is by itself enough to deal with the source of the problem, which is terfs preying on vulnerable young wlw by feeding them misinformation about trans women.

If you really want to be an ally to trans women you HAVE to present an alternate narrative of truthful information so these younger generations won’t be swayed by the false narratives that terfs are currently selling them.

Deny them their recruiting grounds by ACCEPTING AND VALIDATING AND WELCOMING TRANS WOMEN IN WOMEN’S AND WLW SAFE SPACES, STAND UP FOR US WHEN YOU CAN, AND NEVER LET TERFS CONTROL THE NARRATIVE ABOUT US.  Make their voices irrelevant by exposing them for what they are: predatory radicals that use the same isolation and misinformation tactics as the Far Right to cultivate new generations of twisted, vile rhetoric and a philosophy of violence and hatred.

Don’t just “reblog to make a terf angry”.  They take out that anger on US while you remain safe in the ‘terf-free zone’ you want your blogs to be.  

Instead build an authentic culture of love and support for trans women and spread visibility for the truth of our womanhood so terfs can’t keep selling their snake oil to new generations of vulnerable young wlw who end up making comics about literally boiling us alive.

Reblog to start building that culture of trans positivity and make the world a safer place for us to live.
