In a lot of ways Jon Stewart’s interview on trans kids reveals how intellectually lazy and dishonest the NYT, Atlantic, Reuters, etc have been in their trans care moral panic stories. Cis writers carrying water for bigotry while positioning themselves as objective reporters.

“The looters are damaging the protests” just isn’t true. Per the NYPD Scanner, the NYPD was so taxed with shutting down ppl breaking into stores that they *could not arrest protesters* for breaking curfew. They had to prioritize CVS and Duane Reade in midtown first.

one popular ANTIFA tactic against the police is to wait until the cops leave the house for their 17 hour workshift and then ANTIFA sends attractive ANTIFA lesbians to have sex with their wives. the firefighters are in on this too.

A lot of “criticism” and “critique” of BDSM reveals the critic knows nothing about D/s or S/M. I’d go one step further and argue our understanding of consent today (something that is active, that is given and revoked as needed) actually has its roots in leather culture & kink.

Mira (@TheeBellwether) changed the way trans women think about their bodies and their sex lives. Her zine FTW saved countless trans people and opened their eyes to what their bodies can do and be. Her passing leaves so many of us mourning. Today is a terrible, terrible day.

She’s funding a women’s shelter that doesn’t allow trans women in, and we know for a fact that she makes money off the IP’s performance. I feel like this is a pretty cut and dry case where that $60 has repercussions.
people need to stop behaving like buying hogwarts legacy and being anti-trans rights are synonymous with one another. i just want to relive my beloved childhood memories and not everything has to be a huge political or moral statement.

The anxiety re hormonal transition is partly bc HRT shows bodies are malleable. If theoretically anyone can grow breasts or develop a deeper voice & muscular frame, then gender roles have no immutable biological basis. They’re paper tigers, as the body is physiologically flexible.

I’ve covered LGBTQ issues for over half a decade now, specifically from a trans lens. This is the first time I’ve ever seen rhetoric like this take off so publicly and openly on a major social media platform after a violent hate crime. This isn’t just escalation, it’s genocidal.
Their bodies haven't even been laid to rest and Tim Pool has spent all day calling the people murdered groomers and pedophiles. He like the rest of the right isn't reflecting on the violence, they're celebrating it. Inciting even more until LGBTQ+ people are slaughtered

There are 280 anti-trans bills projected for 2022. That is obscene. The sheer level of transphobia (and esp transmisogyny) targeting trans people right now is severely underreported, and most political analysts believe it is a "distraction." It's not.

Many trans men explain that they feel afraid to transition because being a man is seen as evil, bad, or wrong. I actually think trans women experience something similar around womanhood too — misogyny insists that being a woman is a degrading and inferior state of existence.

Cannot stress enough: it's dangerous to insist kinks are always related to trauma. This suggests kink is some sort of reaction (thus deviation) the brain creates after experiencing severe stress, and so by its logical conclusion, kink would not exist without traumatic experiences.

The reality of the current trans care media coverage: Cis reporters believe it is better to have a trans teen suffer through a torturous and traumatic puberty than have a (supposedly) cis person experience regret. That’s a clear & obvious preference for cis bodies over trans life.

“This is biphobia” — no, it’s identifying that bisexual peoples’ partners may be out of community, and some do not mind nor care if their cishet partners are transphobic (“he‘s not the best with pronouns, but…”). It’s a demonstration of what happens when cis ppl are performative.

My experience with BDSM is that a lot of people are really into it when it’s a sex thing, but when D/s or S/M is foundational to the way a person builds non-sexual intimate relationships — eg asexual ppl who feel intimacy through submission — they go right back to discomfort.

"But we're just talking about straight people". No you aren't, because this gaslights queers into fearing their sexual desires are "internalized homophobia." Which, btw, these folks consistently use as a tactic against horny gays when a queer does something they don't like.

Never forget, Disney helped gentrify Times Square and kicked out all the gay adult theaters and sex workers in the process. Gay sex workers hustled there and paid bills that way, and the city destroyed it. Times Square is a black eye to sex workers, queers, and pervs.

A lot of our Western descriptions of “standard” or “normal” womanhood are really about declaring white cis women as the gold standard. They are the most women of women. I always think it’s important to remember that transmisogyny and racism are tightly intertwined and inseparable.
When we say that holding trans women to impossible biological standards for womanhood will also affect cis women, this is what we mean. It's no surprise that black women, who have a history of being excluded from white supremacist feminine standards, are targeted.

Porn is art and art demands critique, but this paint-by-the-numbers approach encourages people to just police each others' sexual desires. It is a very, very bad road that is going to culminate in the whole "queer is a slur" direction. All connected baby.

KF is off the clearnet. Even though it’s still accessible on the darknet, a lot of people will simply refuse to make the jump. It’ll be slower to use, an additional hurdle to learn, & there are other places to go. This isn’t the end of the fight, but an effective deplatforming.

Speaking of which. Comments like “I am having sex and you are not, which makes me superior” tend to be rooted in compulsory sexuality, which says a person’s value comes from having sex. I think it’s kind of ridiculous compsex isn’t treated as a bigger issue in the queer community.

fetishism isn't in and of itself part of the lgbtq letters. but fetishism attracts queers for the same reason gaming, comics, & the furry community do. it's a nonnormative space encouraging playfulness, experimentation, & diverging from roles assigned by a heteronormative society.

Whenever someone says they don’t feel queer enough I think two things:. 1) Queer insecurity is a very queer feeling to have, as is queer envy. Erasure often plays, at the bare minimum, at least a partial role in the feeling.2) I want to peer a bit closer into their life. 🧵.

Hyperfixating on a trans girl’s penis is very cis gazey; it has a long history of both ridicule and obsessive desire. The “joke” in Cyberpunk is that a woman is genderfucked and can now maintain a visible erection. It’s meant to shock, not endorse, and certainly not normalize.

If Cyberpunk 2077 treated girls’ dicks as just another facet of life, it would be fine. This ad shows that CDPR thinks trans people are weird, shocking, and fundamentally sexual. How do you “get” the joke? By looking at the model’s bulging erection. It’s a trope.
