A Widdershins Girl

A shawl is THE most versatile fashion accessory.

I’m going to call out transmen for constantly taking up space.

queernonymoose:

I’ve seen you, tagging things with mtf or trans* woman. When the post is (or seems to be) geared for trans* men.

I’ve seen you, going to MichFest and feminist circles.

I’ve seen you, with the online stores just dealing with packers and binders but it’s called t****y outlet dot net or some shit.

I’ve seen you, using the T-word like you can own it.

I’ve seen you, nearly all white, taking the space of tumblr.

I’ve seen you, not coming to defend trans* women of color.

I’ve seen you, acting racist and all kinds of transmisogynistic.

I’ve seen you, acting like you know some shit but you ain’t.

You aren’t the “concious trans* man”.

You aren’t fooling anyone.

Stop acting like a fuck, and instead give a fuck.

side effects from my issues with food…

editorialhedgehog:

I cannot retain body heat at all. I think it’s 70F in the house or something, and I’m freezing my ass off. I’m also really shaky, and not because of the chill.

My poop has been sick-poo for the past few days, and I’m not sure, but I think this is because of my severely irregular eating habits. All I know is that it’s not as solid as usual, and it burns like I’m shitting out stomach acid or something.

I just ate, and it’s not settling well. Not a fan of this.

It seems like it doesn’t matter how much I eat, I’m still losing weight. My knees look nasty, my ribs, hip bones, portions of my spine, shoulder blades, and collarbones are all plainly visible, and I’m down to 132 with clothes on.

I’m supposed to be at 150.

Not sure what to do about this anymore.

Get thee to a doctor, stat.

If you’ve been to a doctor in the last few days, get thee to a different doctor.

This is not a blog. No, seriously.: Asian Americans and Racism: Erasure edition

People seem able to hold two objects in their hands, but not two thoughts in their heads.

1. Asian Americans were lynched, run out of town, murdered, deported, and put into concentration camps. Asian Americans suffered terrible violence and oppression.

2. Asian…

I would point out that it is severely problematic to treat Asian Americans as a functionally monolithic bloc, because there are huge differences between the way East Asians, Southeast Asians, and South Asians are treated in Western culture. It’s really only East Asians are the white people’s best buddy “model minority”; Southeast Asians are treated very differently because we’re still widely perceived as foreign immigrants and/or refugees, and South Asians are treated entirely differently because of their skin color.

Radscum are pro genocide.

It grinds my gears

When radscum try to paint Trans allies as patriarchy flunkies. They use the tired excuse of not focusing real enemy of men and the patriarchy and “bullying” them. First off, fuck you. I know that men commit violence against Trans* women and cis women alike. That’s what everyone has been saying from the beginning. That’s why feminism must be inclusive of trans* women because they are victims of patriarchal violence as well. However, don’t think cis women are some how innocent in this. If you’re denying trans* women rights then you are acting as a tool of patriarchy and thus committing violence. Outing trans* women and giving out their info? That’s putting them in danger. Life threatening danger! Another thing they think is that trans* activists are saying is that cis women aren’t oppressed. No one has ever said that. Cis women are oppressed because of their gender. Just like trans* women. You don’t have privilege because you are a woman. You (and I) have privilege because you’re cis. This means you won’t be discriminated and assaulted because you’re cis. That’s a big difference.

Equally as important, when I speak in support of trans*women, I center it around trans*women of color. That’s who at the highest risk. Trans*women are hit with multiple oppressions: cissexism, racism, and sexism. When TWOC are brought up, radscum get eerily silent. They know they can’t argue with this. They know that if they even criticize it, their true colors will show. You can’t argue with the statistics, the news stories, the several Black and Brown bodies that have been adding up. How is protecting WOC, an act of working within the patriarchy? How is that not centering feminism on women? Trans* issues expand further than tumblr or any other blog sites. In the real world, CeCe McDonald is sitting in jail for defending herself, just as her cis sister, Marissa Alexander is. CoKo Williams was murdered in Detroit just as Black cis women have been. Paige Clay, Lorena Escalera, Marcel Camero Tye, Agnes Torres, I could go on and on. I’m not trying to be radikewl. I’m not trying to be special snowflake. I don’t want fucking cookies. I want WOC to stop being murdered! If you aren’t fighting for them, then you’re anti-woman. You’re against WOC. You don’t care. But watch fucking radscum ignore this shit, conveniently. Keep thinking trans* activism is about trans*women trying to come into cissexist spaces. You’re just ignoring racism like your predecessors and making it about White women. About white people. Everyone on both sides, just keep centering white folks. 

Outing a trans woman is, itself, a death threat.
