Oh holy fuck that thread is rancid

trans man attacked and then arrested for using the women's room, 2022

I lie to therapists because I'm homicidal 🌚

People expect us to march in and bear the brunt of transphobia to defend the rights of trans women

"Just send in the trans men" is not a fucking solution. It suggests that we can just walk into the ladies room and go "oh, but I have a vagina, I'm supposed to be here!" and they'll be like "ah damn, I guess you can go ahead". Transmascs have been beaten, arrested, and even murdered trying to use the women's room. We aren't your human shields, we're in just as much danger

Woman testosterone man elevated never vagina

anyway apparently the wikipedia page for okra is marked red

Don't like it. I know a lot of people who got marked red because of some personal drama, or for things they used to believe but no longer do, and they keep getting accused of being transphobic with no other reason than being marked red on shinigami eyes. Plus I don't agree with the guidelines on what counts as transphobic, like it says afab transfem is a transphobic troll identity that should be marked red, but afab transfem and amab transmasc are actual identities used by intersex people who have a more complicated relationship with their asab

It's not about "maturity" or "protecting kids", they don't want anyone to transition. They just focus on youth because it's easier to take human rights away from people who have less rights already.

So. I was raised by a domestic violence lawyer. She was always really passionate about her job, about fighting abuse.

When I was in middle school, I was abused myself. A teacher. I knew what was happening. I knew what they said to do about - tell a trusted adult. They would know what to do.

My mother, the domestic violence lawyer, always so passionate about stopping abuse. She didn't believe me. I was just a dumb kid, and kids make things up all the time.

I realized there's not much a kid can do to protect themself. "Tell a trusted adult" is the solution, not because adults are more responsible, but because they actually have fucking rights. If an adult has a bad job, they can get up and quit. If I tried to walk away from school, I'd be beaten.

None of the adults wanted to listen to me, so what could I do? Jack fucking shit. I had that teacher for three years until I moved on to high school. I still have the trauma.

Treat kids like people. I don't want to hear any of this shit about how stupid they are. They know more about their own life experience than you do. Listen to them

The guy that called me a slur exploding outwards into little bits as soon as I tell him I don't "accept the social institution of race"

It's like. Most people know on some level that racism is bad. And they don't want to be bad, so they don't want to consider that they could be racist, cause in their eyes that would make them bad people. Like there's some binary between the evil racist people and the good, not racist, normal people. But the thing is, racism is built into our entire society, our culture, everything. Everyone will learn some racist beliefs just living in this world. You have to confront that. But you can't do that if you're to obsessed with this "but I'm not a bad person" shit
