That’s all cis people are good for.

#where are these so-called cis allies now?

Seriously. Why are all the reblog threads I’ve seen crossing my dash about that cissexist-as-fuck “every time” poem all trans women?

I mean, shit. It’s not even…

Can I just say…fuck this emotional blackmail bullshit. Fuck ‘if you haven’t seen and critiqued the same things I have, before I have then you clearly support it’.

This nonbinary motherfucker doesn’t follow rad fem blogs because he associates a lot of nasty shit that he can’t cope with seeing. He doesn’t reblog all the horrible things he sees because sometimes he thinks ignorance is bliss, and maybe a few of his friends’ days might be improved by seeing pretty shoes instead of transphobic bile.

And sometimes he doesn’t have the words to critique anything, because its took two hours before he could get out of bed, and he’s sick and tired and hungry because today’s dysphoria has been so bad that he’s thrown up the half cookie he could bring himself to eat, but still managed to take the time to support a friend who was having issues.

I am so sick of this ‘if you don’t reblog me then you don’t care’ attitude all round, really.

Yeah, couldn’t be cos any of us haven’t been on tumblr today cos we were having issues wrt gender and oppression of our own, or physical or mental health issues, or whatev.  Couldn’t be cos more gross fucking bullshit spewed *at us* (cos it is at us in that “poem” as well as trans women) triggers us and we can’t even fucking handle it today.  No, sorry, apparently we just have to pull our disabled arses up by our bootstraps, swallow our own gender issues and post about what someone else says.

No.

BECAUSE IT ONLY HAPPENED TODAY, CLEARLY. NOT LIKE TRANSMISOGYNY AND RADSCUM LIKE BULLSHIT HAPPENS EVERY FUCKING DAY, SOMETIMES COMING FROM NONBINARY FOLK AND TRANS GUY MOUTHS FROM INTERNALIZED SHIT.

SIT. THE. FUCK. DOWN.

No, Kinsey, YOU sit down.  You know what?  We deal with this shit EVERY FUCKING DAY too.  Every. Fucking. Day.  You don’t have a fucking monopoly on pain or oppression.  You know what?  Demanding that other people are constantly fucking on call to call out THEIR OWN OPPRESSION - which is what this is, as well as yours - no matter their state of physical or mental health is fucking ableist.  Check yourself.

The reason I’m pulling you on this is because

a) its something you have a habit of

and

b) I actually give a crap about what you say, and actually want to continue following your blog…. but some feeling of solidarity would be nice, and its bad enough seeing this crap from strangers, whose opinion I do my best not to give a shit about without it being reblogged with a layer of nastiness.

Me, or Kinsey? *confused by threads now*  (Sorry if my postictal brain isn't up to the levels of neurological functioning demanded by teh intarwebs tonight... >.<)

That’s all cis people are good for.

For every lesbian you bully into sex - a radical feminist is born. For every woman you threaten with violence - a radical feminist is born. For every woman who gets silenced in a feminist space for talking about women’s…

Kinsey Hope Can’t Focus For Shit: same male chauvinists, different clothes (trigger warning: cissexist feminist bullshit)

As much as I agree with this message, and I do, I’d like to address something.

Being cisgender does not make you scum.

It’s the words you say and the actions you promote that might warrant you the title of “scum”. But for all of the individuals who are saying, “Fuck cisgenders”, well, fuck you too. Don’t dis on my gender, please. Dis on my actions if you will, but my gender is perfectly fine.

hey, wassup. i’m a cis person here. i’m here to collect your ass because of your actions.

you seriously just came into a thread in which the OP is bashing trans* people and you seriously felt the need to say, OKAY BUT I’M NOT LIKE THAT SO YOUR FEELINGS ARE INVALID. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU. this is not about you. this is not about you. i repeat. THIS. IS. NOT. ABOUT. YOU.

if you don’t to be lumped in with cis scum stop acting like it. cuz you’re acting like scum right now. 

Also, "cis" is not your gender.

Found something else to reblog because i don’t want that horrible image on my blog.

UO fuck off.

I realized today that I enjoy the smell of coffee and cigarettes together.

It is one of the things that makes me *really* miss smoking.

The cold of your fridge is actually ruining a lot of your (expensive, local, bought at the farmer’s market) produce. An artist’s project finds ways to use the way fruits and vegetables spoil to keep them fresh, the old-fashioned way.

oh my god this is so cool

Advice Columnist Smacks Down Biphobe: Dear Lady A: Skeptical about the B

DEAR LADY A: The people I know who claim they’re bi are attention-seeking and creepy. I honestly think, of the “bisexuals” I know, the guys are just gays who can’t emotionally handle being gay, and the women are trying to keep potential boyfriends interested with the promise of threesomes. Are actual bisexuals even real? If so, where are they hiding?

~~ Real Homo, Skeptical About The B in LGBT

DEAR DOUBTING HOMO: I’m not hiding and I’m bisexual, so your statement is really more about your own mistrust, isn’t it? It is the worst kind of queer self-sabotage to imply that a sexuality simply cannot be, because you can’t personally imagine it. It’s also ironic. Normally, I have a special contempt for assholes who attempt to inform me that my bisexuality is an urban myth promoted by terrified queens or an affectation I employ to impress my boyfriends. But I will try to exercise patience with you. I will even try to see it from your perspective for a moment.

To pretend like some haven’t used bisexuality as a “gateway drug” to gay or a boy-bewitching sexual tactic, would be disingenuous. Yes, there are folks who, for reasons including self-delusion, hipster trend-grubbing, or maybe just an attempt to earn better money at the stripper pole, might be bisexual pretenders. There are also straight pretenders and gay pretenders, but that doesn’t make you any less gay, does it, sir? And those gay pretenders, by the way, are sometimes boys and girls who love both boys and girls, but felt so unfairly judged by members of their own LGBT community that they actually went back into the bi closet by “picking a side.”

But for the most part, people who call themselves bi, flexible, curious or any other similar designation, are telling you the truth. You know how I know? Because it’s hard to be bi. Society immediately thinks the boys are lying and the girls are sluts, they’re queer but they’re not, they’re straight but they’re not, and they are generally just assigned the convenient homo or hetero sexuality that happens to coincide with their most current partner. They’re also some of the least supported queers in terms of organized help and education … And that’s not fun. So they must have a damned good reason (like the fact that they’ve realized they don’t give a fuck what you or society thinks they ought to be) for standing up and saying who they really are. Just like you had a damned good reason for telling the world who you really are, sir.

So, in answer to your question: Yes, bisexuals are real, and yes, they’re sometimes hiding in your ranks, and could possibly be one of your closest friends or lovers. Being fearful of something you don’t understand and can’t control is scary, isn’t it? On the bright side, now you know how homophobes feel.

I’m bi. No lie. Get used to it.

Lady A is a headmistress with an emphasis on head. She may even spank you. But only if you like that kind of thing. She can be found in the Chicago Phoenix, on Facebook, Twitter as well as all the best places to see and be seen (and sometimes even do), in Chicago.

people still don’t get it. we don’t hate White people. we hate Whiteness. Whiteness is what killed Trayvon Martin. Whiteness is what killed Emmett Till.

Whiteness is the idea that White is right and everything else is wrong.

Whiteness is why most of the time if POC are on TV they are acting out a stereotype. Whiteness is why Lana Del Rey can adopt a Hispanic name while actual Hispanic people are being deported. Whiteness is why Madonna can give the finger at a concert but Maya will be scorned for it. Whiteness is why people think that Native American culture can be reduced to a costume with cheap ass factory-made feathers. Whiteness is why the more successful a music artist get, the lighter their skin is in promo pictures. Whiteness is why Chris Brown is condemned more than Mel Gibson, Sean Penn, or Charlie Sheen. Whiteness is why people hate Tyler the Creator for his crappy as fuck lyrics but still bump Eminem. Whiteness is skin-lightening cream. Whiteness is a Slutwalk sign that reads ‘Woman is the Nigger of the World.’ 

Whiteness is feminism jumping to defend Sandra Fluke but remaining silent when Rush Limbaugh tells a Black female to take the extra bone out of her nose. Whiteness is White people telling a person of color that not all White people are bad and saying so would hurt their feelings when they are expressing their pain over one of their babies being killed. 

We don’t hate White people. We hate Whiteness.
