Sillies Unite !!

DNI:

~ Radfems, Radqueers, TERFs, SWERFs, TRFs

~ Queerphobes (including, but not limited to: Transandrophobes, Transmisogynists, Intersexists, Exorsexists, Butchphobes, Biphobes, Aphobes + Acephobes, etc. Be accepting and polite.)

This includes people who use derogatory or otherwise hurtful words and phrases to refer to members of marginalized communities. Specific ones I have seen targeting transmasculine people in particular that net a swift and instantaneous block: Pooner, TMRA, Zippertits, Cuntboy, TMEs, Birthday Boy, Transandrobros, Transandrodorks, Transandrocunts, Transandrobabies, Theyfab, Transandrophobia Truther. I specify those because of the current surge in vitriol towards transgender men and transmasculine people. I find it exhausting, disingenuous, and outright mean to resort to name-calling. It's not funny or cute, it's frankly disgusting and reflects negatively on the character of the people who use these words and phrases. It also is not lost on me that words like pooner and theyfab originated from 4chan, while the phrase truther is an antisemitic dogwhistle popular amongst neo nazis and the alt-right. Don't use these words or phrases.

~ Racists, Xenophobes, Antisemites

~ Fatphobes

~ TMA/TME users

While I find that there is a interesting and complex discussion to be found here, in my personal experience these discussions have not been civil. Intersex people have voiced their discontent and erasure with terms like TMA/TME and it feels cruel and binarist to reduce people down to their AGAB instead of truly applying intersectionality to each individual person. You cannot paint large swaths of people as being exempt from a form of oppression because it will ALWAYS silence the voices of the invisible and erase nuance from an otherwise inherently nuanced discussion. I find it safer and easier to just block and move on.

I generally don't find DNIs to be useful since they can be superficial feeling. However—I want this to be here so people can look at it and see what kinds of people I DO NOT LIKE OR AGREE WITH. I certainly have internal biases I need to examine and work on, but I will never proudly stand with any of these types of people.

I am ANTI WAR and ANTI POLICE. I don't know exactly the kind of politics I subscribe to but the closest approximation would be socialism. I need to delve more into political texts to help solidify my opinions. I am also ANTI CENSORSHIP.

Ultimately I block liberally and frequently, I will block strangers for being nasty to others on completely unrelated posts to my blog or what I like. I do not expect anyone to truly and honestly follow these, but I want to make my stances clear.

BLM, ACAB, Free Palestine, and Free Ukraine.
