Türkiye's government is violently cracking down on LGBTQ+ civil society, targeting trans women especially. Among the groups attacked are Kaos GL, who previously translated and republished some of my work in their journal. I am grateful therefore for this statement of solidarity from @ucu.org.uk.

I've seen this play out so many times. Everybody agrees rapey Dave is a problem, but it causes a scene every time he turns up and has to be told to fuck off. Wouldn't it be so much easier if those women who say his presence triggers them just got over it?

Most of the talk about forgiveness and restoration is really about convenience. You don't want the hassle of kicking the sex pest out of your spaces, you don't want the Inconvenience of having to find a new video games youtuber to watch, so the onus is placed on people who have been hurt to forgive.

How come I've heard so many horror stories about the cis ex-wives of trans women? Like I guess it can be... startling if you thought you married a man and then she comes out as a woman, but surely an amicable divorce instead of incredible abuse is possible.

The creatives you engage with online are strangers to you and it is really important to remember that. Someone can be skilled at articulating a position that appeals to you without being a good person. Knowing someone’s work is not the same as knowing their heart or how they treat people.

Chipping into the "who is English" discourse, as, legally speaking, white British national (nationalised at age 2) I spent a lot of my younger years in South East London being bullied by English kids for my foreign accent. This country's nationalist politics is fucking rotten to the core.

We do have to punish rapists. Confusing punishment for heinous crime with prisons is reactionary, and ironically these "prison abolitionists" are doing the same thing: they believe all accountability and punishment is carceral when that is not the case.

Banger. Frankly a salve against people weaponizing the language of accountability against survivors.
Our goal is not for every single person to feel comfortable and validated, our goal is to end cycles of harm. Fundamental change in the people who enact harm is by far our preference, but lacking that we understand that our responsibility is then to reduce or destroy their capacity to continue to enact harm on others. We don’t just sit on our hands and hope we can eventually convince them to change at the same time that their enacting of that harm continues to work in their own interest because they’re surrounded by people who think consequences for harm is the same as throwing someone in prison

You, YOU SPECIFICALLY, Flora, are EXACTLY the kind of person who would, and WILL, stand up for my rapist who is currently studying to be a therapist, because he will cry, and claim he's changed, and being a therapist is good, and don't we want ex-rapists to be therapists? He coerced me with therapy-speak, and he will use therapy-speak to tell rape victims to forgive their rapists, and people like YOU will call it "punitive" and "carceral" to demand my rapist be stripped of power, because before a damned thing has happened, people like YOU will be there to protect his career.

Your article did, and IS DOING, tremendous fucking damage to the cause of justice. You are naive and credulous and a convenient tool for every leftist rapist who knows how to cry and claim they're sorry.

Delete your fucking article, gender traitor.

This is really funny cause at first glance this might seem like a misunderstanding of the message of Bell Hooks but it's not cause Bell Hooks is apologia for men that places the blame for their behavior on women not centering men's "suffering" under patriarchy.

"Yes, he may have made a mistake, but he's changed. He's a good man who does good things. He's a pillar of the community. Surely it's not worth ruining a man's life." Dressing this up in leftist jargon and invoking "rehabilitative justice" doesn't actually change what you're saying btw

When a person has been abused, our immediate priority must always be doing what we can to care for them, to prevent further harm and to help them regain whatever autonomy was stolen from them. That will *always* take precedence over the hypothetical future salvation of abusers for me.

To rape is to become an enemy. To rape is to stand with the patriarchy and become one of its shock troops. It is to step beyond simple membership of the oppressor class and to become a direct enforcer of that oppression. Why the fuck should that line be different to a nazi?

There a lines a person can cross which make them the enemy. Which make their humanity irrelevant to how we deal with them. Leftists are cool with this for fascists. Cool with it for cops. Many are cool with it for soldiers in Imperial armies. Some even for snitches. But not for rapists.

It's actively insanity inducing to be a survivor and a feminist right now because in the face of the sheer ubiquity of sexual assault and the lack of consequences for it, we're all being besieged by demands that we think of the rapist men, forgive the rapist men, cleanse the souls of the rapist men

Even before a single cop or barrister enters the equation, most communities protect and shelter rapists from consequence. Cast doubt on victims. Appeal to the rapists' character, beg to consider their futures and potentials, plead for this "mistake" to be overlooked. Victims have nothing. No one.

It's true that the "justice" system frequently sides with rapists, lets them off the hook and re-traumatizes victims. And it's true that trusting a punitive carceral system is folly anyway. Effectively, we live in a world where socially and legally, there are no consequences for committing rape.

You don't need to trip over yourself to tell lesbians that "it's okay to sleep with men!" Every institution, cultural norm and social pressure is constantly telling us it's okay to sleep with men. Most of our families would be ecstatic if we slept with men. We got the message. It's fine. Shut up.

That politicians feel empowered to so brazenly assist institutions in covering up and getting away with sexual abuse is an indictment of our society and culture, and how badly they continue to fail women.

"Institutes of higher education harbour known rape dens where men foster a culture of apathy and contempt towards women and are enabled to commit sexual assault" is perhaps something we should consider more objectionable than we currently do.

Men's entitlement to extracting sex from women at any cost (to the woman), ignoring all signs of distress or pain or inability to actively participate, doesn't come from some abstract "biological" cause but a culture that reinforces sex as a woman's only function. We have not progressed past that.

I'm thinking of the countless attempts to shut down and any all discussions about patriarchy and misogyny by invoking abstract charges of "gender essentialism", or accusing feminists of thinking all men are inherently evil. The reality is actually much worse---women's pain isn't seen as real.
