We have one last chance to save democracy.
The No Kings Act was proposed recently. Your senators can vote in favor of this amendment to prosecute Trump and any future presidents. You just need to email your senators explaining why this bill is something that EVERYONE, including them, needs. They are not above the law. The Supreme Court betrayed us and the Constitution. Please.
YOU THERE
HALT !!!

Look at me. You can not save Men's Rights as an ideology. Be a trans activist. Be an anarchist. Be a black activist or a disability activist. Men's Rights are not the solution to your problems; but you can find out what is, and you can champion that cause.
Men's Rights Activism is not a good idea that gets turned bad, it is simply a branch of antifeminism. You have to let it go.
how do you look at this and not see the obvious resentment of bi women?
these are all about misogyny toward LGBT women, yet it specifies every subset of LGBT women other than bi women (except by way of being bi trans women)
(especially if you were around for the years which lesbians on this site spent indignantly sputtering about any bi woman who called herself a Dyke for “appropriating Lesbian-Only terms”, how are you not wary of these sentiments by now?)
the implied unity between cis/TME lesbians and trans women is also really funny. do you know how much of the time cis/transmisogyny-exempt lesbians specifically pull all of this shit on trans women? including whinging about trans women being “Lesbiphobic” and Unfairly Targeting Lesbians when we talk about transmisogyny?
“being used as examples, tokens or ammunition for other people's arguments”—yeah, you mean like when cis lesbians dismiss any criticism of transmisogyny by invoking the existence trans lesbians? even when the criticism comes from trans lesbians ourselves?
how do you not recognize that this is both biphobic and also brushes off the transmisogyny among cis wlw

Nader, age 17, can’t go to school right now because he has to survive a genocide instead. He's running this campaign for himself and his brother Abd Al Salam and the rest of their family. Can you donate $10 to help him, or share his campaign? He's #4 on the gazavetters list.

Fine, okay, look, you've been a perfect little pet for mommy. That's what you wanted to hear right? That you've been a perfect pet? Well you've left a lot to be desired as a fucking roommate. Mommy's getting tired of picking up the slack with the chores we were supposed to split evenly. Good girls do what they're told, right? How about this: good girls pick up the beer cans they left on the coffee table. Good girls refill the dishwasher before they get high and destroy a pot of ramen on the stove. Can good girls refill the fucking ice tray? Please? Come the fuck on stop humping my leg for one second
I know there’s an existing post somewhere, but here’s the list of OBGYNs in the USA and other countries that will perform tubal ligation (aka female sterilization) without arguing with you
Late tonight a bunch of staff are playing a game called role call and if you thought fugitive was wild just w a i t until i tell you how this goes cause role call is absolutely terrifying
We aren’t letting the campers play it so that lets us up the scare factor by 147%
you! white queer!
can you listen to a queer person of color talk about intracommunity racism without making it about yourself?
Bro. I saw a terf on a post say. "If your experience of womanhood is constantly reminding people you're a woman, you're not one." Um. Ma'am. Have you met any minority woman? Like any of them?
its really incredible that people on here that loudly and regularly proclaim themselves to be "against terfs" know so little about twerf ideology they require these like big in depth explanations with clear examples of treatment of trans women and of certain open about their views uk/aus/us academics etc to get why Political Lesbianism But In Korea This Time Round is a radfem movement.
Haven't figured out a politic way to word this but before saying someone/thing "makes you uncomfortable" please ask yourself this important question: is it any of your fucking business
Trump 2016 was nothing compared to what's coming and you know it.
No I don't, and you don't either.
One of the problems that I have with electoralism is that every election is the most important election of our lives. Every election is the last one to save democracy. Every election is the only way that we can protect the marginalized otherwise so you have to vote blue no matter who or you're going to be killed in the streets by the red team.
This is propaganda to get people to vote, but what it also does is reinforce the idea that the only people who can save you are the ones on the ballot.
There are people all over the world living under fascist regimes, living in war zones, living in dictatorships, who are supporting one another. There are trans communities under Modi and queers in Russia and people who provide underground reproductive healthcare in Iran and people who provide medical care to their neighbors in tents in Gaza.
What you are doing is American exceptionalism in a liberal hat. This is NOT the end of the fucking world. This is NOT the worst disaster you will ever face. This is NOT a reason to give up or to stop caring or to stop working or to lay down and die.
Is this a good thing that has happened? No. But bad things happen all the time and we keep going.
If you must wallow, then wallow, but I've got shit to do just like I did last week.
Harris now begins her defeat speech. Most expect it to lose in some states due to the Biden administration's support for Israel and its promise to stand by Gaza. Unfortunately, Trump will also not stand with Gaza, and since his term, he has declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel.Please support Gaza because in reality there is no administration or president who stands by the oppressed people of Gaza. Only free peoples stand by them. In this difficult time, I call on you to support my oppressed family in Gaza.
Please stand by my family from famine and devastating war
To support my family from here 👈👈
Palestine is free
i can say it a thousand fucking times "i dont hate femboys i dont hate drag" and people will waltz in "oh how dare you? how dare you hate drag and femboys? how dare you say they're perverts and freaks? how dare you say they don't suffer from queerphobia?" im genuinely so fucking pissed right now FUCKING LISTEN TO ME. READ THE WORDS THAT I WRITE
“there are femboys who are cis men” there are femboys who say they are cis men girl 😭 don’t be dense you know the difference. did you have male privilege when you were trapped in the closet? or is there some magic soul difference between you and all the “cis men” who haven’t come out as trans yet? be for real. stop appealing to magic soul gender. gender analysis has to be material: crossdressers are TMA. crossdressers crossdress for “sex” or for “performance” or for “fetish” or a million different other reasons because it is socially unacceptable to express it in their public lives, even partially, even if they don’t come out as trans women. do you think Eddie Izzard was immune to transmisogyny before a few years ago? Do you think that didn’t affect job opportunities etc?
whether you want to classify these people as victims or perpetrators (or somewhere in between) the fact is that there is a very real social and legal incentive for sissies and crossdressers and femboys and drag queens to draw a line and say "i am still a cis man, i am not one of those trans women" in not so many words. And they benefit from that and sell it and tme people celebrate it in a way they do not when that line is crossed.
this isn't some "magic soul difference" or whatever bad faith argument you're assuming of me; this is just the clear and simple statement that people view and treat feminine AMAB people differently once they say "i am not a man", once we demand to be respected as women.
it’s really funny seeing people say “omg shut up about trans men being sexist to trans women you stupid bitch feminist in the real world trans guys and trans girls are making out” and then i go to a party in real life and meet a bunch of trans girls and they’re like “i hate those posts they’re so sexist” LMFAO
i just. the spice that makes drag so transgressive and femboys so sexual and calling your favorite fictional man "babygirl" fun is transmisogyny.
crossing the line from "male" to "female" is the ultimate gendered taboo in our society, you know it, i know it, we're all acting on it. but when trabs women say "hey we're actually living that transgression and it makes us, specifically, vulnerable" the fun music stops and everyone pretends they dont know what shes talking about.
you stand here enjoying and celebrating and profiting from the aesthetics of transfeminity, all while ignoring the societal hierarchies that make it so enticing. all while rejecting the people most harmed by that stigma.
if you ever wonder why trans women dont like drag or are so mean to femboys or whatever just sit on this and maybe have the barest minimum amount of self reflection.
Here's the thing though. No amount of posturing and blaming what caused Harris to lose really means anything. We live in a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, extremely bigoted and selfish country. We need to reckon with that, not the minutia of the campaign.
