What’s mad about the riots yesterday is everyone talking about like ‘oh why would it have just been protestants that went crazy and did a pogrom? so strange I wonder why this is’ as though the people in question haven’t spent the entire summer every year since the 1800s burning effigies. trying so hard to not be sectarian it’s eating a hole in your brain

Something crucial about the north of ireland today imo is that in the interests of peace or whatever you have to pretend that loyalism is just a subculture in the same way that, like, gaeilgeoirí are a subculture, and that yearly demonstrations of hatred and racism and singing about being up to your knees in fenian blood are just ‘their culture’ and you have to respect it. and then predictably the people whose culture is burning minorities out of their houses burn minorities out of their houses, and the newspapers pontificate a little as to why, and then we all go back to being told we have to hold hands with the people who did it or the troubles 2 will start TOMORROW and you can’t complain or you’re being sectarian and living in the past

you arent allowed to be a trans man you have to be a lesbian with internalized misogyny or be a mentally ill fujoshi or something like being a trans man isnt allowed bro you just have to confront your misogyny and be a beautiful womannn woman girl girl girl

you must perfectly deconstruct misogyny and be 100% enlightened and in tune with every reason for your desires to be transgender otherwise you're wrong or a pervert or mentally ill. We just tortured you to insanity
