"...police tried to reassure... Shine Night Walk that it would be safe for around 2,000 women to cross College Green" NO IT WOULDN'T BE SAFE BECAUSE THE FIRST THING THAT WOULD HAPPEN IS THAT SOME OF THOSE WOMEN WOULD CONFRONT THE FASH AND THE SECOND IS THAT THE COPS WOULD BEAT THEM FOR IT.

Wait lol, easier question, is misogynoir used only for anti blackness, and is there a word for it in the general racist case if so?

Liz Firebrand @uselessbird1312.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Is there a word for the intersection of racism and transmisogny that isn't transmisogynoir? To my understanding that is just for anti blackness and I'm wanting to talk about it in a general racist sense

Accidentally said the secret words in therapy today that has gotten me referred to a more intensive psych team (This is maybe a good thing I think) (It was not sh words, it was being slightly more honest about my dissociation than I had meant to/dissociating in the session)

Hey folks it’s been a while since I posted this crowdfund and now that my disability backpay has run out (pretty much all of it went to moving, woof) I really could use some help getting the rest of my wheelchair paid off. Donations and boosts are both very appreciated 🙏 ko-fi.com/butchanarchy...

My only option was to just fucking leave but I think this was honestly the wrong call and I should have just stepped on the rhetorical landmine and taken them down with me. It would have at least let me continue standing alongside the twoc who did stick around for the fight

and that therefore trans women should roll over for transmisogyny Though I genuinely have to respect how masterfully they set up a landmine infront of me specifically where I tried for a while to be patient but that allowed them to argue to a point where any anger i could express would validate

ABSOLUTE CISSEXUAL FUCKS! God fuck ever organising with white cisexual tme people again. Absolute nightmare of a meeting today that resulted in people arguing to the face of trans women of colour that vulnerable poc would be transphobic, and that trans women were white, racist, and not vulnerable

I'm struggling to find work due to multiple disabilities including long covid. I'm broke, my fridge is empty, and I don't know how I'm going to pay my bills. If you feel like making an old trans lesbian's life a little better, my Paypal/cashapp/venmo info is in my bio. Anything helps.

If I’m against centering “accountability” and the “restoration” of abusers and rapists, what is it I think should be done about them?? Well, I lay exactly that out in this piece here. Use the tactics of anti-fascism! butchanarchy.medium.com/tactics-for-...

(and the main criticism of RJ/TJ is that whatever it is supposed to accomplish in theory, *in practice* it usually amounts to mandatory forgiveness coerced directly on the victim. you're extending that to "since mandatory forgiveness is a foregone conclusion, the victim need not be involved at all")

"Betrayal" remains a damning reality check about how "transformative justice" processes often act as another instrument of abuse culture, wielded against survivors and their defenders. Liberals, right-wing and "justice" system are even worse. Abuse culture is an ideology, and a pervasive one.

I'm just angry that guys who assaulted my friends are thriving and no one is organising violence on them, but the same scenes have absolutely torched the lives of dolls

Liz Firebrand @uselessbird1312.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
(Or the excuse of sexual violence is used to enforce violence already being done) None of this means I don't think we should believe and support survivors. I don't know what this means, I don't have a conclusion

Liz Firebrand @uselessbird1312.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I guess this is the dynamic that leads to actual lynch mobs (not what a man experiencing a slap on the wrist calls one). When a population is marginalised and deemed a sexual threat by their nature, then any accusation of sexual violence directed up the hierarchy must carry the harshest penalties
110
Liz Firebrand @uselessbird1312.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Not because I don't think there should be consequences, just that those consequences are being selectively used by wider communities to enforce other hierarchies further.
110
Liz Firebrand @uselessbird1312.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Consequences are possible but only for those already marginalised. And I don't know what to do with this. It's good when a rapist gets outed but it fucking sucks when I see another trans girl forced out of spaces where predatory guys thrive and are protected

Liz Firebrand @uselessbird1312.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
then all these fucks who don't do shit when cis white guys are accused come out of the woodwork to go headhunting. They don't care about supporting survivors they've just found an acceptable target to publically bash.

Liz Firebrand @uselessbird1312.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Cw rape The only thing I have worth adding to The Discourse about consequences is that sometimes a rapist isn't the combination of cis, white, man. They by vast majority are, rape is a weapon to enforce gendered hierarchies after all. But sometimes not, and when the rapist isn't

We can learn from our queer elders 🫶🏻
bisubites 4h
when my masc lesbian aunt died, women just kept coming, screaming, crying, and saying they were her wives. Eventually we just had to start telling them to join the others. They were all devastated to learn about each other. Except for one who came in, kissed her dead mouth and showed us all that they had matching tattoos. She actually won all the mourning wives over and they all agreed she was the wife. It was so weird.Did not expect more than a few people to see this but yes it really happened, yes it was insane

Were outnumbered 2:1 and held multiple entrances to a pub in a brawl for nearly an hour before cops showed up and separated the sides. It was a fucking victory! The fash may have got some good hits in but the antifascists did too! Importantly the fascist hits didn't stop antifash holding the pub
