I wish more people realize that society views us black women not as women, but motherly sexual creatures to empower people. We arent really humans. We are to be the supportive auntie and nanny, the sassy yet heartwarming lunch lady who calls you ”sugar”. But we aren’t allowed to be just people. We exists to support, but not to be given support.

We are to be a sexy jezebel, a mysterious voodoo lady. Who is enticing, our features only exists for men to get off on and for white women to get surgery to look more ”ambiguous”

Our struggles exists to tell people ”this can also happen to you”, we aren’t allowed to be victims. But only if we can exists for other people to talk about.

We exists more as a symbol than actual people

Hey babe just so you know, the thinking of ”poor people/disabled people shouldn’t have kids” and ”aborting kids with X disabilty” is ALWAYS good, is sometimes a slippery slope into direct eugenics and facism.

Especially because those two are because of how society views the poor and disabled. Until they’re viewed as just as worthy. They will always be looked down upon. While they are the easiest marginalized groups to become (you can become disabled and/or poor anytime) But because society just ignores time without support in school/work/basic needs at times. We’ve been conditioned into thinking they’re inherently less worthy of things such as having kids or even existing.

People only see a problem and not the reason. Especially with poor people. Like *pulls up chart showing correlation between poverty by state, lack of sex ed, and teen pregnancy*. If you think one of these things I said on top but have a hard time to acknowledge that correlation. Maybe you should start to acknowledge it.

”Are you really going to blame it on Capitalism/patriarchy/white supremacy”

Yes, yes I am. If we don’t change the source. Then nothing will happen. It is like refusing to turn off the faucet of a bath tub.

I do think the demonization of feminism, no matter the ideology, is why there’s a lot of learned helplessness when it comes to handling some issues. I don’t mean people only demonizing the terf kill all men type of feminism. I also mean the ”yeah women should be paid equally to men” or ”xyz type of woman still matter”

As long as a minority doesn’t comply to the norm set by the society. They will be looked down upon. It doesn’t matter what their race, gender identity, sexuality, disability, or even body size is. Society wants them to fit a mold.

It’s the exact same reason why even people who do peaceful marches as a form of protest gets looked down upon. Because the rich and the privileged want to keep their order the way they have it. This doesnt only apply to feminism. Any form of ideology that wants to change how society works is going to be made fun of or at worst silenced.

So you! You right there! Join your local march for justice! Be politically active! Find zines to write for!

”Body ideas are always changing. Women can’t win”

Hey I don’t know how to tell you this. But we will always be stuck in a ”women can’t win” mentality if we allow capitalistic beauty standards mixed with exoticism, sexism, fatphobia, and ableism to be the norm. Maybe maybe, we should do more than just ”both sides can’t win. Women will still be body shamed”

First of all, prostitution is not the oldest profession- it's the oldest form of slavery. The oldest profession is midwifery. So jot that down.

Jag hittade en artikel och hon ser så mycket ut som Posie Parker (Kellie-Jay Keen) att jag blir äcklad

Tidningen Proletären är INTE trans allierade, då de har skrivit en artikel om Ekis (som chefs redaktör för Arbetaren) utan någon research ang. hennes bioessentiella bok som aktivt felkönar transpersoner och sprider missinformation om trans vård. De säger att "vissa tycker hon uttryckt sig transfobiskt", och rapporterar vidare från Arbetaren att hon inte är transfobisk eller att HBTQ personer inte är en prioritet inom facket då det "inte är en klassfråga". Gör bättre.

the imane khelif situation shows how both TERFs and right wing transphobes lie about them caring about GNC people. Look at how they’re treating her. A masc Arab African woman. They are calling her man, simply for being masculine. I never trusted people who were “oh, back in my age, men were allowed to be feminine and women were allowed to be masculine” because they always had the vibe of those who would throw anti lesbian and anti gay slurs at them. They’re the people who see a lesbian couple with a butch or a stud and ask them “if you don’t like men, why are you dating women that look like men” they’re the type of people to see a boy try out nail polish and call him gay.!

sure, you can give me those videos. Secondly, Khelif is Algerian and grew up in Algeria. Not Argentina. Argentina allows people to medically transition legally. Algeria doesn’t.

it doesn’t just make sense for a country that sends trans people to jail for just existing to send a trans woman to represent them.

third, khelif did compete in the 2020 Olympics, but lost. She did get second place in the 2022 women’s world championships. But like, no one talked about her. And trans people in sports had been heavily debated since Lia Thomas.

The NOCs pick, not the IOCs. They send in the people they want to compete and the ioc goes “yay or nay”. Why would once again, Algeria. If Khelif was trans, she would be seen as a man by the Algerian government, and a man by the Algerian NOC. They would not have allowed her to compete in the women’s category.

[druvy-rants]

can you like, give me just one article talking about how she is banned from competing in Algeria? That isn’t from like Twitter. I just want one link

Also, think back to the main thing Khelif is, an Algerian boxer. Algeria is a country that is very anti lgbtq. WHY TF WOULD ALGERIA SEND A TRANSWOMAN WHEN BEING TRANS IS ILLEGAL?
