RIP, "The Man of the Hole." We never knew your date of birth or name.

And after what we did to you, we didn't deserve to.

cant wait until the day people on here finally manage to achieve an actually useful middle ground between just never acknowledging or discussing any of the factors involved in being considered to pass as cis and just giving into agreeing with and repeating wildly transphobic everyone can always tell ywnbaw type fearmongering.

I rly hate the Satanic Panic & the moral panic surrounding violence in video games in the 90s, coz it's now impossible to talk about the social implications of violent video games in a realistic sense.

No, violence in video games does not create serial killers in the way most people imagine it would.

However, it's very important to notice how after 9/11, a lot of violent video games pivoted their content from silly gratuitous cartoon gore to more realistic military shooters set in the Levant from a US American lens. It's also important to notice the connection of these games & their toxic online multi-player voice chats to Gamer Gate in 2014.

It's obviously not as black & white as it was presented in the 80s & 90s, I dont think everyone who played early Call of Duty games is a white supremacist who wants to join the military to kill people in the middle east, but I think it's dangerous to pretend like video games or any media can't have an impact on the way people think about violence.

I think what makes all the difference here is how that violence is portrayed, what the message behind it is, what the motives are behind the people who crafted that message, who the victims of that violence are, how they are portrayed & the greater cultural context that surrounds it.

this website is cuckoo bananas. for years i’ve been watching trans girls post “hey, have you considered that even though trans guys are obviously treated worse than cis guys, the limited male privilege that they do have access to means that they are taken more seriously, treated less dangerously & just respected more than trans women in most if not all circumstances” and everybody’s been going nuts like, calling us separatists, calling us “divisive” for even pointing out men in the trans community can be misogynistic etc.

and then today, i saw a pretty mild post from a trans guy saying “passing as a man is so weird. other men are treating me with more respect than they treat my girl friends in public now. i used to have to argue & cite 100 sources for anybody to listen to me, and now all i have a beard all i have do is say ‘hey maybe women should be treated better’ and everybody listens to me immediately”

….and then i go into the notes and there’s a bunch of transandrophobia bloggers saying “wow, you really opened my eyes… i never saw it this way before…” like am i going crazy??? am i the only one who sees the incredible irony here? maybe you guys… here’s a thought… should listen to women also?

the united states should not exist reblog if you agree

trans people who don't take hormones are trans enough.

trans people who don't have surgery are trans enough.

trans people who keep their birth name are trans enough.

trans people who use the pronouns associated with their AGAB are trans enough.

trans people who don't transition to a binary gender are trans enough.

trans people who present and/or identify more closely to their AGAB are trans enough.

trans people who don't change their appearance are trans enough.

all it takes to be trans is to not, or not fully identify with the gender you were assigned at birth. we are enough, our transition is real, no matter what it consists of. trans people don't owe anyone shit. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

i've never understood what people mean by rehabilitating pedophiles - do you mean to say rehabilitating sex offenders? because not all child molesters are pedophiles and not all pedophiles become sex offenders. if you mean "make a pedophile no longer a pedophile", that's straight up impossible.

now personally as the unfortunate child of a sex pervert (criminal version) - I don't automatically associate any sexual urge with abuse, but rather voluntary actions of the person (the choice to abuse), which is one influenced by more than sexuality. for example, abusers targeting children in a vulnerable position in the nuclear family.

when I was 16 I planned to kill my dad for the first time, genuinely. now at age 25, safe and far away from him, I find myself thinking, "if he dies, there is still an endless amount of people out there exactly like him, and no fantasy in which they all disappear can be reality".

the fact? we currently have no concrete understanding of the 'nature' side of child abuse. the side your local restore-law-and-order politician loves to bring up. Born Evil. but when I look at a picture of my dad as a child, and when I look in the mirror and see a person now devoid of humanity, I have to wonder, when? because I know it wasn't always.

you can misread this post any way you want,i've been through and seen enough shit to be numb inside, so maybe I come across as a complete sicko here, who knows! but I truly believe the only "cure" to abuse is a society in which no one is left vulnerable to be victimized, and autonomy is respected...and maybe one where we can have these conversations without people living in a fantasy land where you can somehow remove paraphilic disorders or whatever you want to call it

At some point in your life, you were taught that being slightly annoying is an unforgivable sin. Maybe it was by your parents or a teacher or a friend or a bully or an older sibling. But someone taught you that being slightly annoying is a crime punishable by death.

You must unlearn this.

You must accept that all people will be annoying at some point or another in their lives, maybe all of their lives, and that this is okay. It is okay for strangers on the bus, it is okay for children in the grocery store, it is okay for people on social media, and it is okay for you.

If you ever want to truly love your fellow humans, if you ever want to truly love yourself, you must have forgiveness for being annoying.
