Reposted by Ivystrigix @sovereignbeast.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Obviously the metaphor isn't perfect, but the way we are treated as delusional for simply maintaining that we really do exist, while at the same times the boundary of what is 'real' changes from a matter of observed reality to a matter of law and jurisprudence, is a peculiarly horrific thing. 06610 0
Reposted by Ivystrigix @sovereignbeast.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Rather than being 'beyond comprehension,' we disrupt the framework through which reality is comprehended. The normal human world runs into its limits and passes through them, revealing that what was thought to be a limit was never real, forcing confrontation with a reality stranger than expected. 1669 0
Reposted by Ivystrigix @sovereignbeast.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Been reading some stuff on horror and philosophy and one thing that struck me is that the frameworks explored there actually present more or less direct parallels to the trans experience; the material existence of trans people is treated in the same way as the existence of demons, vampires, etc. 110119 0

Ivy @ivyleaf3.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I thought that was like, one of the most basic and known thing about marginalisation, that caricatures of them are harmful, that they are propaganda and can have signifiant psychological effects on minorities. But apparently that’s not the case 010 0
Ivy @ivyleaf3.bsky.social · 28/08/2026There is always the thing under all these dismissals, that we *can’t* say it is problematic, regardless of if it is or not. That does not count. We are actively and often aggressively denied any authority at all. I have never seen it but I‘m tired of seeing people dismissing the harm of caricature. 120 0

Reposted by IvyMoira Donegan @moiradonegan.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Feminism’s greatest internal war is over sexual violence: between those feminists who insist (as I do) that rape is at the root of women’s oppression, and those whose loyalty to sex, or strategic assessments, make them feel that such a claim is inherently dangerous. For decades, the later camp won. 534549 0

Reposted by IvyTalia "ATTACK DOGS is out now!" Bhatt ⚢ @taliabhatt.itch.io · 27/04/2025Trans people were abandoned. Trans women were turned into a fetishistic symbol to motivate fascist hatred and buy-in. Women of color were abandoned too, with the pervasive narrative of feminism being "unable to account for race" repeated with no substantiation to solidify that abandonment. 111510 0
Reposted by IvyTalia "ATTACK DOGS is out now!" Bhatt ⚢ @taliabhatt.itch.io · 27/04/2025Instead of building an inclusive feminism focused on the margins, a lot of "critique" effectively became anti-solidarity projects with institutional backing, misappropriating ideas like 'intersectionality' and 'coloniality' to argue that actually, we can't all work together.

Reposted by IvyMoira Donegan @moiradonegan.bsky.social · 27/04/2025Feminism became not just associated with, but the truest fact of, every single malignant historical force—capitalism, neoliberalism, imperialism, now fascism; feminism is blamed for all of them.
