also white queer people i need us all to understand that we are NOT the highest risk folks right now. check in on ur friends of color and your community and make sure people are alright. do what you can to protect people with the privilege you have. it may not be a lot, but every little bit helps, and it's better than catastrophizing.
Bigotry is not a valid reaction to someone being an asshole btw! Bigotry is not a punishment for bad behavior and basic respect of other people as human beings is not a reward for good behavior! There are no exceptions to this!
There is nothing anyone can do to earn someone else being racist, misogynistic, ableist, antisemitic, transphobic, homophobic, xenophobic, etc to them! The fact that this is still controversial in 2024 is absurd and infuriating!
"Yeah this callout (with absolutely no proof whatsoever) was made by terfs and all the reblogs are terfs misgendering the person and using transphobic slurs but the person is (maybe) bad so I'm gonna reblog it anyway"
I do get tired when I see popular trans solidarity art and they always depict the transmasc person/character fully passing with top scars slapped on, EVERYTIME. and while this isn't an inherently negative or problematic thing, I do get a feeling of being left out or just not really acknowledged, well because I kinda understand!
depicting trans men/masc folks with breast can be seen as "taboo" or "confusing" for some trans folks but the reality is that we just, exist... we're real people too.
I'ill be honest and say I get tired of the default trans man image being skinny-muscular guy who already got his top surgery. and anyone else who looks different from that is a nasty transtrender or whatever transmed garbage people spew. trans men/masc can be fat, and or curvy too, but I feel like people are terrified to acknowledge that over the fear of being labeled a fetishsizer. truthfully as a trans person no matter what people will label you as negative shit so you gotta push through the fear. it's why I draw what I draw.
it sucks when some people think they can force me to be nonbinary or cis woman because they feel uncomfortable with the concept of a trans man without top surgery and wears his tits proudly. it's not progressive or helpful you're just transphobic.
ugh, I hate when my posts end up in radblr
JK Rowling endorsing the Communist Party bc they are sufficiently transphobic but Labour isn't is... well, it's something.
Reminder! You can shit on Xiran's racist and antisemitic behavior all you want, but remember that their pronouns are they/them and not she/her.
Transphobia doesnt help with anything
- Sincerely, a trans person.
