When a trans person's gender gets denied, that doesn't mean they just get the social status of their agab. If that were the case, Trans women would be paid more and killed less.

Yet, it is the exact opposite. There is still a gender dynamic among trans people, one that favors men. The trans men in this case. Now, the dynamics are not the exact same as with cis people, but its a misogynist dynamic nonetheless. For example, the gender dynamics between a brown guy and me, a brown girl, is different from a white man and a white girl.

Both dynamics favor men however. And, the brown man as an extra axis of oppression for being brown. Similarly, trans men have one for being trans.

I care deeply for the racism that men of my skin are subjected to daily. And I feel the same way about the transphobia that trans men get. But I need both to understand intersectionality and to stop treating women like shit.

Here’s the thing: imagine if we fixed the housing market, so that the price of housing only increased to match inflation. That would be great, right? Except, homeowners typically spend $2000-$10000 per year on maintenance. So homeownership would go from an investment to an endless money pit, just like renting. The idea of a house as an investment, a house as a way to build wealth, requires that housing prices increase faster than inflation forever, which means that the burden of housing costs on working people must keep increasing forever, and the number of homeless people must keep increasing forever.

The housing crisis isn’t just a result of greedy landlords and investors. It’s an inevitable result of social policies that encourage people to treat their houses as in investment. Because once a homeowner internalizes the idea that their financial future depends on housing prices going up, they start favoring policies (such as NIMBYism) that make housing prices go up.

Conversely, if we want to end homelessness for good, we need to accept that housing is someone we’ll all have to continuously pour resources into, because buildings are complex physical objects that break a lot.

forever thinking about the idea that star trek fans are so fun because everyone has a different Thing they’re obsessed with and then thinking about the guy I met a couple of times at stlv who was dressed as a bajoran, i was in my kira cosplay and he offered to hold my stuff while I was taking photos with people and said “we bajorans have to stick together” and later showed me he has the bajoran symbol tattooed on his chest and showed me a bunch of bajoran starship prints he got and said “i love it when they have stuff for us” I didn’t catch his name but I will think about him forever he also mentioned having a husband I LOVE YOU GAY BAJORAN MAN . I HOPE WE MEET AGAIN.

body positivity has largely failed because people started arguing for attractiveness and romantic prospects instead of respect and dignity
