“Am I a twisted cherub, face half-skeleton, half-laced ribbon? I glisten at times, but. I am more than my skin suggests, more than a body of sin. I have scriptures in my lips.”

— Lisa Marie Basile, Forgiveness (via mossful)

Scar is comparable to Siegfried’s invisible point of mortality, a non-scar, but a trace reserved for the passage of death, a door requirig a password, scar adds something: a visible or invisible fibrous tissue that really or allegorically replaces a loss of substance which is therefore not lost but added to, augmentation of memory by a small mnesic growth. Unlike scar, stigmata takes away, removes substance, carves out a place for itself.

Stigmata are traces of a sting.

Hélène Cixous, Stigmata: Escaping Texts (tr. Eric Prenowitz)

hatred of terfs isn't a love for trans women, hatred of nazis isn't a love for jewish people, hatred of the police isn't a love for black people. you should always be emphasising your support and love for the oppressed before you talk about your hatred of the oppressor.

salemwitchtr*als is a terf. stop reblogging her.

salemwitchtr*als recommended an article (“our holy book”) from the transmisogynistic & otherwise transphobic website gender identity watch; said article stirs transmisogynistic paranoia by casting trans women as invaders of women’s spaces. it appears she later removed said link from her recommendations post after this was pointed out, but did so w/o openly acknowledging its rhetoric… or saying anything to combat transmisogyny.

as further confirmation of transmisogynistic politics: here, salemwitchtri*ls appears in the notes of vl*dtheunfollower, who’s been an open terf for a long time now… this is on vl*d’s post about being a terf on this website. (clicking “show more notes” once will show the screenname salemwitchtr*als.)
