this blog caters to freaks & kinksters & addicts & disabled people and them only. everyone else is collateral damage

we talk about how surreal it is to befriend really good creatives on here but what’s really surreal is when those really good creatives also have, like, debilitating social anxiety and impostor syndrome. leonardo da vinci is on my dashboard calling the mona lisa cringe. rembrandt thrives off of my deranged tag rambles like a starving college student going after café leftovers

alright fuckers. tma/tme language is not inherently the best way to talk about systems of transmisogyny (I am sympathetic towards arguments about moving towards transfeminised/non-transfeminised as an alternative), but they are by no means "useless", they do not "pit trans women and trans men against each other", they are not inherently intersexist, and they do not amount to "asking trans people their genitals". the terms simply centre the primary targets of transmisogyny in discussions about transmisogynistic oppression. if centering the primary targets of oppression bothers you. well fucking hell man, I feel like you need to ask yourself why you're working so hard to redirect the discussion back towards the oppressor class

Hi it's me, a couple of months later with a question
WHO THE FUCK WAS THIS ABOUT????????!!!!!!

what's more. the frustrating thing about the way people talk about, e.g. the usamerican trump administration, is that it's always framed as a) a crisis, and b) a temporary one that will be over the moment Evil Guy leaves office. this kind of crisis framing should always be seen as suspect because it often does the work of papering over deeper systemic problems. "the country" has never stopped being in crisis for some people, because the process of creating "the country" in and of itself was an injustice, and an on-going one at that. the systems that have been established in the process of nation-building were designed to oppress. the system is not in crisis. the person heading the system is not the originator of a period of crisis. things are rolling on in the same unjust ways they always have done. remember that
On what categories does the rhetoric of crisis rely upon and pivot? Are there potential disagreements that are made invisible, inconvenient, or unavailable implied by the now-ness of crisis? How do efforts to manage the crises, even when done in the best of faith, reduce the horizon of strategic approaches and possible futures in their complicity with, rather than disruption of, narrow conservative imaginings of what the university can and should be?
Boggs and Mitchell (2018, p.441)
the above quote is taken from a discussion specifically about "the academy in crisis" but I think it applies significantly more broadly, including to conversations about "the nation in crisis"
it's also wild to me that some people can simultaneously hold that "the utopia is a world without gender (as a system of oppression)" and that "in the genderless utopia, nobody will transition". in general, humans are obsessed with body modifications. piercings and tattoos, among other things, have emerged with varying levels of cultural significance/meaning in many different contexts. even without the sexgender system, there will be people who will want to add/remove breasts and genitals, and there will be people who will want to medically alter their hormone levels. even if the cultural significance of varying sexgender signifiers decreases or ceases to exist. lack of gendered oppression will not make everyone cisgender (in the way that term is currently imagined)
it's crazy when my mum goes around saying that I don't need to be on hormones, I just need to unlearn society's messaging and discover that I'm beautiful just the way I am. ma'am I am on testosterone to become a fat hairy butch lesbian. can you please point me to the social messaging about how you're only valuable if you're fat and hairy? please
you talk about feminism & especially transfeminism on this website and it takes 0.02 seconds for someone to say "umm this sounds like terf rhetoric" "what about men. op have you considered men" "if you think about it, men are impacted by misogyny more than women are" ohh okay I see. you guys hate women (queerly and progressively)
identifying terf rhetoric is not "anyone who says that misogyny is a real and powerful system of oppression is a terf". especially when the original post is clearly about trans women. can we please be serious for two seconds? do you have some kind of allergy to caring about women? for the love of jesus fucking christ

accessibility is not static and it is not a simple on/off switch. it is a fluid variable that depends on who the space is being made accessible for, and what their needs are within the context of that space. this is why specific information about particular spaces is more useful than a general "this space is accessible" statement
this is also why people like margaret price (2024) talk about "access priming". this is when an ally to disabled people opens up a general conversation about access needs without singling out any particular person in the space. for example, when someone who is running a meeting starts the meeting by asking "does anyone need the lights dimmed or off?", they are signalling that they are making space for a conversation about access needs. crucially, it does not include deciding what someone else's needs are, or what accessibility looks like, and then charging ahead with that. it means creating an environment where it is normal and acceptable for people to talk about what accessibility looks like for them, and taking some of the pressure away from disabled people to having to keep self-advocating
