Years ago now a cis friend of mine fully shut down his boss talking about trans people in sports by saying hey man, have you actually read up on this cos I have and you sound like a fool and causing the entire office to laugh at him. Guy never opened his mouth to do anything bigoted again.

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

seravph
what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past 'dresses are for women and pants are for men. i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we've made

I just finished up the second ornament from the Christmas Carol-themed craft kit I splurged on in January. Behold Jacob Marley, wearing the chain he forged in life! (To my wife: “Technically I forged that chain. Fucked up when you think about it.”)

A hand holding the loop of a handcrafted Christmas ornament. The ornament, a small figure resembling Jacob Marley from “A Christmas Carol,” is made of felt with embroidered and beaded details. He has a large wooden bead for a head, complete with wire spectacles and a bandage around his jaw. A metal chain has been wrapped around him, festooned with heavy bells and trinkets to weigh it down. He appears ghostly and despondent.

On top of all that: Trans kids deserve to exist too. The fact that some kids DO get to transition and avoid the puberty that could cause them so much dysphoria and strife is a beautiful, magical thing and every child deserves the chance to figure out who they are and how they want to live.

It goes without saying but just in case: You absolutely do not have to hand it to JK Rowling. Even if she DID mean what she says about trans adults (which she doesn't, she is constantly attacking trans adults just trying to live their lives) it doesn't mean anything given the HARM she has caused

Not only does JKR popularize anti-trans hate with her massive platform, she actively donates to anti-trans groups and supports legal cases that challenge trans people's human rights. If you support Harry Potter, you are actively making our lives more difficult. There's no escaping that fact.
