I've determined that my relationship to groups of straight men is I'm like a cute little monkey that can do tricks for them (ex. at a party at uni one time one of the guys brought like a 5kg(?) dumbbell from his room and had me try n lift it with my tiny E-based spaghetti arms, and when I labourously managed to they all cheered), or like- when I wanna say smth, they'll shush their other lads like "yo, shut up, the monkey's gonna talk! I wanna hear what it has to say!", like they don't sexualise me (cause issa monkey) but they're still endeared to me (cause is tiny and cute)

like you know those capuchin monkeys that people put in little outfits, that's what lads see when they look at me

it's giving freak show (affectionate) a little bit, but I think straight men not being interested in me while still being nice to me is possibly the best nonbinary deal I coulda gotten out of this

#*mind you individual ones still look at me a little too enamoured sometimes #but it's very reassuring re my anxiety abt what'll happen once I pass better now #trans #nonbinary #transmasc #although I'm still peeved at the times where it was specifically abt me not being Strong™ cause my dysphoria has a thing abt that #I do like them listening to my wisdoms tho x'D #I got to chat to some guy friends abt men's lib yesterday and learnt of the 'literally me' meme #that's seemingly specifically abt ryan gosling characters the manosphere bros are obsessed w #(and they're not sleeping on ken I'm very happy to hear)#and I showed them some tumblr history videos so we did like a reddit tumblr culture exchange lmao

If the only people who laugh at your jokes or respond to you positively are bigots - and you yourself disavow those opinions - maybe it's time to analyze why it is that they feel safe around you. While you might not be intentionally bigoted in those ways, there is still a reason that somebody who's transphobic, anti-Black, whatever it may be, really, feels it is okay to be open about those bigotries.

#politics #like i can't count the amount of trans people with like 'trans lib NOW' in their bio who post things that transphobes react to positively...#...as in like 'i agree with this statement because [transphobia from their end]' like. please analyze why they feel safe around you!!#like what i'm talking about is attracting those people (bigots) because they've interpreted statements as a signal that you are Safe to them #would there be some things transphobes agree with me on? i guess so *but* i do not tolerate any transphobia...#...so typically even if they agree with something i have said they still realize this community/myself will just... not entertain it #there's a difference between 'bigots have found my account/me irl and are harassing me' and 'these people feel safe to be bigoted'#('because they think i am bigoted too')

idk like sex workers trans people indigenous americans and Black radicals (or even just the average Black politically-aware person) have been warning about this wave of white supremacist legislative violence for years. if you can understand that serial killers get away with their deeds by attacking the least popular members of society--the marginalized--before "move up" to targets like white women, then you can understand that for years members of congress have been attacking sex workers, trans people's rights, indigenous people, and Black people in sometimes subtle but other times not subtle ways. but because sex workers, native americans, Black people, and trans people are so unpopular--and god forbid if anyone is all of these at once--many many many white liberals especially, regardless of their other social classes, were fine with ignoring the signs that crept up on them. they want order more than they want justice. i won't lie and act like there wasn't a time where I thought things would stay permanently good after 2015's obergefell ruling, but me being 15 and hopeful is leagues away from liberals now acting shocked that the loaded gun aimed at their head was actually fired.

#angel posts #idk im just finkin fots i guess #ive seen that SWers consider themselves the canaries in the mine #ive seen trans people trying to raise awareness about the absolute slew of anti-trans bills so many states are trying to pass #with little attention paid to either #people already dont listen to Black ppl or natives like our politics makes yall white libs esp v uncomfortable #and what natives say about adoption is true but again white liberals hate that that can apply to them #what Black ppl have been saying for years was largely ignored and now. now there's so many white libs and leftists and the like #who cannot fathom this scotus decision #no the SERIES of scotus decisions #like. idk what you want me to say the lever was pulled the trolley was bound to run over someone #just because you did it blindfolded doesn't mean it wasn't barelling down the tracks

english monolinguals don't know the agonies of the right politicizing the concept of gendered nouns and I envy them for it

#imagine if conservative politicians screamed their heads off about wanting to call women men #thats literally it #and then some people actually join in like 'yeah actually i may be a woman but i wanna be referred to as a man' and its just political #like they never identify differently. this isnt a trans thing. this is solely to be like 'actually yes. i hate women and feminism'#'which is why i will call myself a man now to own the libs'#wild shit

i'm aware that a large portion of it is just the fact that i'm 26 years old, but i do also think one of the reasons i struggle with a lot of mainstream lgbt+ media aimed at teens and young adults is due to just how fast everything's moved since i was in high school

#there's the obvious boring toothless and just generally bad factors obvs #like no one was out when i was in high school and i lived in a fairly liberal/lib leaning area #now my cousin and her nephew talk about kids who aren't just openly gay but also openly trans #and i just. i can't relate #i'm so fucking happy for them! i'm so relieved it's like this!#but it's so alien to me #i graduated 2014 and my sister 2018 and even she's expressed surprise at how much has changes #*changed #it makes me feel sad #sorry to make this about my pet peeve in media criticism: relatability

On February 7, 2024, an indigenous nonbinary teenager named Nex Benedict was beaten to death in a US high school bathroom.

The news has been spreading across social media over the past few days, with several news outlets misgendering and deadnaming the victim. I have seen a small handful of posts about the entire thing, but only a couple with any sources about what happened.

I spent the morning combing through articles. This is a list of publications reporting on the story that don't deadname Nex:

Pgh Lesbian Correspondents: "Grieving Nex Benedict: the Brutal Killing of 16 Year Old Nonbinary Student in an Oklahoma High School"

The Pride: "Non-Binary Student Dies After Violent Bathroom Fight at Owasso High School in Oklahoma"

The Washington Blade: "Nonbinary Okla. High School Student Dies After Fight"

The Los Angeles Blade: "Oklahoma Non-Binary High Schooler Dies After Physical Alteraction"

LGBTQ Nation: "Teen Beaten to Death in a School Bathroom Bullying Attack. The School Didn't Call an Ambulance."

Freedom Oklahoma: "Rest in Power Nex Benedict"

Indy 100: "Thousands Raised for Non-Binary Teenager Beaten to Death at School"

The Independent: "Oklahoma Banned Trans Students From Bathrooms. Now a Bullied Student is Dead After a Fight."

Daily Dot: "Oklahoma's Top Education Official Called Out Over Libs of TikTok Ties After Non-Binary Student Beaten at School, Dies Later"

Daily Kos: "Libs of TikTok Targeted a District, Then a Non-Binary Student Was Killed on Campus"

Malang Post: "Owasso High School Mourns Pupil's Death After Altercation"

We need justice for nex. I know I can't do much, but maybe a few people can see this.

If the world truly cared about trans people then there would be riots until this systemic injustice was gone.

Schools are now allowing literal terrorists (libs of tiktok aka Chaya Raichik) to run schools who are not even part of the same district. The hateful laws hateful people say protect kids are literally getting kids killed. But in the hateful's mind it's fine because it was a trans person, the enemy in their minds.

The hateful are Nazis and should not be in power over any children. I simply cannot understand why people can stand idle when hate spreads so clearly.

I'm not a doomer, I think we will create a better tomorrow, but only because we know this time. We know who the hateful are and what they want and what the end is that they want. This time they can't silence us.

No book burning can set us back. We can't forget the first Nazi book burning was to silence us LGBT+ folk. And we won't forget the next.

tw suicide, s/a

hi i wanted to submit something for the antitransmasculine violence archive. unsure if it counts but basil brown was a genderqueer disability activist recently who killed themself after being raped on campus. the school is covering it up, they're being misgendered everywhere, and it hurts. I knew them.

https://www.kadn.com/news/local/an-unspeakable-loss-ul-releases-statement-after-student-suicide-on-campus/article_4b6797c2-f5c1-11ee-bfc4-9326f10eb630.html

https://twitter.com/Georgeroyde/status/1777602502298345748?t=-7gb5o5HL3lE3UQziTG5yg&s=19

same anon that sent about basil. just found out libs of tiktok posted about them. sick to my stomach

Yes, this absolutely counts. Thank you for sending me this.

From their Instagram I can see that they were on T at some point and used to identify as trans man; if anyone can find out if they were still comfortable being grouped under the "transmasculine" umbrella by the end of their life, it would be much appreciated. I am going to put them on the list for the sake of visibility, but I want to make sure their full genderqueer identity isn't being ignored.

Basil wrote this Instagram post, apparently in reference to a trans boy who died (according to this, also by suicide) and was misgendered by the Louisiana School for Math, Science and Arts, now unfortunately too relevant in their own death:

Honor Max. Use his name, use his pronouns. Be brave enough to handle the consequences, and stand up for him. It is equal parts heartbreaking and blood boiling for you to make the choice to disrespect him, even in death. Protect trans kids.

They link a neocities website in their Instagram bio, which appears to be a product of their own creation. Its very interesting and full of art, so if you want to check it out to honor their memory, go to ocimum.neocities.org

Their name was, and is, Basil Brown.

UPDATE: According to a friend, Basil used he/they pronouns at the time of his death.

Additionally, I want to point out that one of the people Basil accused of raping them is a professor at the university they were attending. The university has only put out the vaguest nothingburger of a response (linked above) to a student's on-campus suicide & accusation of rape.

A part 2 to a previous post I made so I can raise awareness

By the way, here's a comprehensive list of individuals who've done stuff that concerns me, so without further ado

Ben Shapiro-

Key Jean-Kay/Posey Parker- a TERF or transphobe whose more known in the UK (where I'm from) who posted this as a response to Brianna Ghey's death

Libs Of Tiktok-

Matt Walsh-

Alice Cooper-

Graham Linean-

JK ROWLING- I'm not even going to dignify her with any image because she's notorious for doing that shit.

Rosin Murphy-

Elon musk-

Ricky Gervais-

Blair White : It's full of subtleties, but if someone uses the word 'convincing' to say that someone's exploring their identity, then you're inciting hatred because you're creating a narrative that they're just confused and don't really understand themselves.

This is a reupload BUT kalvin Garrah has done some serious damage too

Raven-This might not seem harmful now, but this pronoun moral panic can lead to you being brought down a transphobic pipeline.

Arielle Scarcella

There's probably MANY MANY more, but please, THINK BEFORE YOU POST. These people spread dangerous rhetoric because it's easy to ostracise a social group, so PLEASE PLEASE think about what you say because you will tar your hands with the blood of hundreds of people, and that's something you can never wash off. (I'd encourage anyone to comment any other creators who do similar things.)

I want to start a petition so here goes nothing, but here's a change.org petition I made so hopefully countries or groups will be put into more pressure to DEAL WITH these individuals beyond demonetising them

Change.org- https://chng.it/LQx5JS6D9s

(I'M GOING TO UPDATE THIS WITH MORE LINKS SO PLEASE KEEP CHECKING THIS POST <3)

Also posts made by others on this include: https://www.change.org/p/youtube-stop-targeting-trans-youtubers?source_location=search

Genuinely wish I had the energy to talk more about UK politics here given that Tumblr is so US-centric and desperately needs the added perspective, but there's genuinely fuck all happening here that hasn't been par for the course for the last ~14 years. Tories gonna Tory.

A brief rundown for interested parties:

After a long and arduous battle to convince everyone that it should be legal to do so, our government has commenced with its plan to shove asylum seekers who attempt an extremely dangerous Channel crossing on small boats to find safety here onto planes and ship them off to Rwanda, a country with significant human rights issues. There does not seem to be any desire to do anything about the "criminal gangs" who are supposedly trafficking these asylum seekers and sending them here, or to ask any questions about what might make people so desperate that they'd risk crossing the Channel in a tiny boat in the first place.

Having sent everyone back to the office despite COVID still very much being a thing so that we can oil the wheels of the UK economy with our blood and to prevent their portfolios from losing value, the same ghouls are now proposing that disabled people "do their duty" by being forced to work from home, or else lose their benefits. They're also proposing mandatory work placements for people who fail to find work within 18 months.

Transphobia remains the culture war du jour, despite all evidence showing that it is a vote loser. Our government continues to be obsessed with policing the genitals of children and ensuring that trans people receive abuse from every possible direction, having recently released "guidance" for schools that essentially instructs them to deny trans kids any kind of shelter or agency whatsoever and to refuse their requests for basic dignity whenever the opportunity to do so arises, whilst simultaneously attempting to introduce the term "gender ideology" into mainstream parlance.

The Online Safety Bill, which proposes that social media sites should require ID in order to sign up, is also a porn ban.

We (and the US) are still bombing people in another country, without it having been approved by vote beforehand, in order to prevent Israel from suffering any economic hardship while it continues to commit a genocide using weapons that we (and the US) provide. Our government assures us that this will continue for as long as Israel wants it to, and is still talking about "humanitarian pauses" instead of any kind of actual, real ceasefire.

Labour (the supposed "opposition" party) has wholeheartedly supported every part of this and in some cases seems to think that the current government doesn't go far enough.

We're still in the middle of a cost of living crisis, by the way. Also the climate crisis, with more and more people losing their homes and livelihoods to flooding with every passing year. No one's talking about any of that, though. There might be a transgender child receiving lifesaving healthcare somewhere, or maybe an immigrant being treated with respect, which is obviously much worse.

So that's where we are right now. We've been promised an election this year but given that Labour haven't opposed any part of the cruelty this government has been visiting upon everyone but the white, cishet, ablebodied rich, it's unclear whether getting the Tories out will actually materially improve anything. If you've got the Greens or Lib Dems as candidates in your constituency, I guess it's time to make peace with voting for them instead of Labour, maybe.

So, yeah. v( ._.)v

Interest in a dedicated feminist online forum community?

What are women's thoughts here on an online feminist community, a forum (like phpBB for example), for discussions? Would enough women would be interested in this? Forum software has decreased in popularity, but is still used for niche subjects/communities. (Some real life examples: https://www.reef2reef.com/ and https://www.gardenstew.com/) I'm mildly interested in trying to set up forum software as a technical learning experience, but only if there would actually be interest in using it (because it would cost me money to buy a domain name and web hosting).

It seems like there are so little dedicated spaces for feminist women on the internet. Most feminist communities seem to be libfem, and/or plainly taken over by men (if they purport TWAW, then they definitely are taken over by men). Tumblr has a radfem community, but it's still part of a larger social media system which involves many TRAs (some of which harass radfems), and men, porn bots, etc. Ovarit is useful for consciousness raising, but it seems to me like the Overton window has been shifting towards more conservative takes than feminist ones, especially in how there appears to be more anti-trans takes on there than actual gender critical feminist ones, which kind of makes me bored of it. And so again, radfems are then stuck in a larger community, this one of conservative/non-feminist women, who are there because they dislike trans people and appear to have found a space where they can safely make fun of them and not actually to discuss gender critical content (the recent realization that I even need to be defending common feminist stances like women's right to abortion on Ovarit has been demoralizing). I basically want to make a place where feminist women can just take a break and not have to constantly be building up from ground zero, defending against TRA insults, arguing against conservative/right-wing rhetoric, and instead maybe discussing feminist topics or just chilling in some hobby forum sections or something, idk.

I was initially going to call it a "radfem community" but I see no reason for the community to not include women who identify more with other branches of feminism like gender critical feminism, black feminism, lesbian feminism, eco feminism, socialist feminism, intersectional feminism (I mean the original definition of intersectional, not "tumblrized intersectionality"), etc.

I think there would need to be some "gatekeeping" involved so that it doesn't end up filling up with neoliberal feminists ["choice feminism"] or "prolife feminists" [an oxymoron], so that would need to be figured out. This community would not be meant to be a place for feminists to have to hand-hold people and slowly explain over and over how gender is sexist, or how porn is misogyny, or how abortion is a part of women's healthcare and bodily autonomy. This place would be meant to be a solace from that. Imagine trying to participate in a Calculus class where people who haven't even taken algebra are constantly joining the class and asking "why the fuck are there letters with numbers in math now?!" The class would barely, if at all, progress. Likewise, this community would be for feminist women to have an agreed upon basis for basic feminist stances, and move forward with deeper analysis. There are plenty of other online communities for women who are new to (non-lib)feminism to learn about how "but I like wearing makeup, it's art" isn't a feminist stance. We don't need to keep spending finite energy hashing this out, we need to be able to move forward.

My basic thoughts so far:

It would be women-only. (But there would be no vetting that would involve requiring to share personal information, it would just be an honor system.)

I think there must be some basic feminist stances that members need to agree on, otherwise the community might as well just be a part of any mainstream social media platform. I would assume a decent starting point would be: gender critical, pro-choice, anti-prostitution, anti-pornography, anti-surrogacy, anti-beauty culture?

Some category ideas I have so far: feminism (with maybe different sections for the branches of feminism, and sections for discussing feminist books/websites/documentaries); politics (with sections for discussing or sharing news about feminist political topics like reproductive rights [for abortion, birth control, bodily autonomy], gender critical, surrogacy, prostitution, etc.; spirituality (for those who are into Wicca, or other spiritual beliefs); casual (for general chat, hobbies, music, arts, etc.)

So yeah, what are women's thoughts on here about this?

Would this type of community interest you?

What would you want to see in it?

What would you not want to see in it?

Has this been done before and I am just oblivious? (I tried searching for "feminist forum," but nothing relevant seem to come up.)

Am I naive and this is not going to work?

Please let me know! I welcome any opinions. Thank you. 💜

#radblr #radical feminists please touch #radical feminists do touch #radical feminist community #radical feminist safe #radical feminists do interact #terfblr #terfsafe

I have been thinking about how I wish to word this post as best I can. Yet, I struggle to find the right words to describe how I feel. Anger, guilt, sorrow, and most of all, a deep fear of what is to come.

Nex Benedict was a 16-year-old, gender-fluid Cherokee kid. They loved animals, especially their cat Zeus. One of their favorite pastimes was Minecraft. But this past week, their life was brutally cut short by a group of transphobic girls. After being ganged up upon by a group of girls in a bathroom, Owasso Public Schools would refuse to call the police nor an ambulance. No, instead, they would suspend them for two weeks, but that wouldn't matter;

Nex would die within 24 hours of the incident, after they were lynched.

Chaya Raichik, owner of Libs of Tiktok, posted grooming allegations against one of Nex's former teachers, after they stated they proudly supported LBGTQ+ students. After which, the smear campaign worked, and the teacher was fired. Ever since, a wave of immense homophobia and transphobia has swept through Owasso -- with Nex being a victim under its tide.

Nex's biological grandmother (their primary caregiver) has received more than enough for funeral costs, and plans to donate the rest to advocacy groups.

Please consider donating to Oklahomans for Equality. They are really struggling after an embezzlement scheme, but are planning to do a vigil for Nex.

I am in so much fear knowing this happened so close to me. I am doing my best to be a light that can out shine this hate. But please help me spread the word. Reblog this post. Share this outrage, and let us hurt. But we must do something.

Please do not forget your queer siblings in the South.

#tw transphobia #tw violence #tw death #tw lynching
