Half of being trans is being hypervigilant against transphobes. Like, I spent 15 minutes scrolling down on a blog that I would be super interested in just to make sure that it wasn’t going to start reblogging stuff from my favorite transmisogynists. Turns out that my hypervigilance was right again.

Things to look for:

  • References to “vagina envy.” This is what initially got me scrolling. This alone isn’t a sure indicator.
  • Andrea Dworkin quotes without criticism
  • Reblogging from troll accounts like confirmed-/-terf

Most cis wlw on Tumblr are, in fact, supportive of trans people. Most cis wlw who mention “hating men” are not using this as an attack on trans women. However, because of my experience with the small, insular, and vitriolic trans-exclusionary feminists on Tumblr, I have learned to be hypervigilant and it Really Fucking Sucks and Really Fucking Hurts when I am right.

I am a lesbian. This kind of blog would have been My Shit. But I’ve been taught to distrust the very women I connect with the most. I’ve been taught to feel afraid in my own home.

Being a transgender lesbian is constantly walking on eggshells to not prove them right. And their standards are ever changing so it’s inevitable that you’ll prove them right. Righteous anger will be taken as “male propensity towards violence,” which closely mirrors the way men see outspoken women as “shrill.” If we do anything to fight back outside of debate within their terms, we are immediately casted as “violent men.” They will not be satisfied until we shut up, lie down, and die.

Cis wlw can and should reblog this. Help me remember my allies.

you do know that when jewish and romani people say “never forget” we mean “learn about the holocaust so you can recognize the warning signs of facism and genocide” not “repeatedly bring up the holocaust whenever anything bad happens and exploit our pain and trauma to make people care about your cause” and when we say “never again” we mean “take action to prevent any stage of genocide on any scale by any means, hold collaborators responsible and don’t be complicit” not “only care about genocide when it’s too late”, right? or did you think it was just a fun catchphrase?

no actually reblog this

things i never expected to learn through a tedtalk but now am glad to know:

the founder of Sirius XM radio is a sapphic trans woman and is currently trying to preserve her wife’s consciousness in a digital file so her wife can be immortal in the body of a robot.

heres the tedtalk if you dont believe because everyone deserves to know this reality of the amazing world in which we live

Real life tony stark is a gay trans woman

Her name is Martine Rothblatt. She also founded United Therapeutics, which is a company that works to find cures for “””small””” diseases that don’t necessarily affect a lot of people. 

oh, yes–and she’s Jewish.

Here is a picture of Martine and her wife, Bina Aspen:

For those interested, here’s the most reliable article I found, which does reference ChertineP, but bafflingly seems to treat her theory and proof of concept as little more than a joking guess that happened to produce a crafted item.

To see why that is such a lazy and ice-cold take, in case you’re not familiar, please allow me to introduce you to what we now call the bobbin for ‘French’ knitting, or ‘spool’ knitting...

The bobbin is a hollow cylindrical grippy handle with 4 or more pegs on it, which is used to knit small cylindrical or semi-cylindrical shapes... maybe finger-width...

Image

..and yes, said cylindric knitted shape could absolutely be reduced in size as it went to taper off to, say, a fingertip.

French knitting bobbins are available today at all fine craft stores. They are also extremely easy to make, so you can even find tutorials on how to make them for yourself or as a craft project for the kids.

hahahahahaha!!!!!!!! 50 years on and Vietnam is still beating America’s ass !!!!!!!!!!

uh huh

You know how china lies?

Vietnam does the same shit.

I live in vietnam and the number is actually that low lmao vietnam has closed down schools and universities and started online learning since feb. they have praticed social distancing and lock down for 20 days now. The government literally spent billions to put tourists in quarantine for free to health check them everyday for fourteen days to make sure community spread doesn’t happen. They’re willing to risk the economy as long as the people are safe. Like you do know vietnamese people have access to the internet right???

Population differences you people, America has significantly more people total

wow you’re such a genius, if only there were statistics for the number of cases per million people so we could scale it to population size, such as here:

can any mathematicians tell us whether 3 or 3,379 is the larger number? can any number wizards help us out on that one

The lengths that people go to to try and force the idea that the us is great are just astounding really

dumbfucks panicking and emptying out store shelves does not show a failure of capitalism, what it does show it that people as a collective are really really stupid because they think that for some reason all of a sudden they're going to need 5 years worth of toilet paper and canned goods because of a virus. It's not a market issue, it's a human issue

cope harder sis, you’re not coping hard enough

here’s something funny- when similar panic-buying shortages occurred in Vietnam, they implemented the very food/supply distribution program this post is about, successfully addressing the issue- so while in a way it is a “human issue” it seems socialism is a lot better at handling this human issue than capitalism ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also I love how you’re not even touching the comparative death rates lmao
