Last September, hit recording artist Kesha filed a lawsuit against her mentor and producer Lukasz Gottwald (better known as Dr. Luke) in an effort to be released from her recording contract with his company. In her suit, the singer says the prolific hitmaker “sexually, physically, verbally and emotionally abused” her over the decade they’d worked together, to a degree that he’d “put her life at risk.”

Kesha’s lawsuit alleges at least two specific accounts of rape. In one, she says the producer forced her to inhale a substance prior to boarding a plane which left her incapacitated and, while in the air, sexually assaulted her. In the second, he gave her what he referred to as “sober pills,” which she says she later learned were GHB, a date rape drug. In that instance, the singer says she woke up the next morning feeling sore and disoriented in Dr. Luke’s bed, with no memory of how she’d wound up there.

The suit itself has hit a technical roadblock. Kesha filed her suit in California, but a “forum clause” in her contract stipulates disputes regarding it must be handled in New York. Given that, the California Judge overseeing the case has put it on hold.

What are we to take from the reality that few people seem to care about Kesha’s case? Her public image is as a crass party girl and Dr. Luke helped her career in many ways—is her case being overlooked because she doesn’t fit into the “perfect victim” mold?

FUCK YOU, ODA!

THAT’S THE FACE PEOPLE MAKE IN ONE PIECE WHEN THEY’RE GONNA DIE.

and On Gendering of Children/Fetuses

Whenever i point out how fucked it is, people are always like “yeah because they might be trans” and it’s like “kinda but also-”

Gendering children is one of the major components of misogyny and the exploitation of women. When I criticize people doing this, I don’t just mean because they might be assigned ‘wrong’ but because the ‘correct’ assignation is still part of a social dynamic where one half of the population is exploited and oppressed.

Beyond that, coercing children into social roles is harmful for all children even if they are not trans, even if they are cis boys. Like, assigned gender roles from birth are unethical because of their harm to trans people of all genders, cis women, and to a much lesser extent cis men.
