I HATE MORAL OCD. well i shouldnt say hate thats a strong word. and i dont want to sound like i hate people WITH moral ocd because i dont of course. i just hate having it. but i shouldnt think that, i do like having morals, its just stressful to be thinking about them so constantly and scrutinizing every little thing i do or think. but really thats the least i could do so i should at least try, right? just because i suffer from— no, struggle with moral ocd doesn’t mean i should just stop thinking about things all together, thats not what im saying and i should make that clear, but i
I wish transmascs could have positivity posts that aren't made by dudes who think misandry is real like every time I see one of those long posts about "being a man does NOT make you evil" I go hmm and I check op and he is not fond of women & wildly misunderstands what's wrong with terf ideology
idk when we decided that explaining yourself shouldn't be part of an apology but like. if someone was a dick to me and apologizes but I still don't understand why they did it I'm not gonna feel any better
years old. My family and I are currently displaced in the Al-Zawaida area between the tents. This was the seventh time we had been displaced since the beginning of the war, and we were living a difficult and tragic life. Right now, donated money is being used to help us survive this war. Food is very expensive and my family has to pay rent for the land that our tent is on. However, I want to save up enough money to evacuate my family to a safer place where we can rebuild our lives. I dream of returning to university to finish my computer science degree. I want to provide a better life for my family than is possible in Gaza. My family and I have many dreams we would like to fulfill after this war. We are grateful to everyone who donated and helps us during this time of suffering. Thank you for reading.
The situation is currently very bad in the south. Diseases are very common. You always feel tired because of contaminated food and water.
last week, i challenged you to "skip the takeout", inviting you to donate to a palestinian family instead. i also asked you to "skip the movie", but i was worried that wouldn't motivate you guys as much, because i wasn't sure people really went out to the movies anymore.
turns out they do!
so, i looked up my local theater, and a ticket for deadpool & wolverine is 13 dollars.
13 USD. less than 18 CAD. about 19 australian. under 12 euro and less than 10 quid. roughly 132 SEK.
deadpool & wolverine had a $200 MILLION production budget and a $100 million marketing budget. as of today, august 23, 2024, it has grossed over $1.154 BILLION. so, for disney, your $13 is a drop in the bucket.
but for a palestinian family hoping to escape the horrific conditions in occupied gaza? your $13 means a lot.
so this week, donate the price of a movie ticket to one of these families.

it truly doesn't matter to me whether you've gone to see deadpool & wolverine, whether you plan to, whether you're waiting until it comes to disney+, whether you're just going to pirate it, or whether you have not and will never see it. there's really only one question i have for you.
the problem with the majority of TME people who consider themselves “transfem allies” is that they believe that transmisogyny is a conscious belief that you actively hold (like thinking things like “she isn’t a real woman” when you meet trans women) rather than individual actions you take, cultural biases that you don’t inspect etc. if a trans woman tells a transfem ally “hey, you’re being transmisogynistic now” the correct response is to ask her how/why rather than double down and claim that you’re NOT transmisogynistic. like, friend, dismissing all our criticisms is a part of that transmisogyny. it’s in fact one of the most basic & easily addressable forms of it.
Honestly everything about the Imane Khelif incident is just reinforcing exactly what I've been saying about transmisogyny- that its related to racism and intersexism, but that a cis woman is still going to have cis privilage over a transfeminized person. The entire backlash to Rowlings comments isn't "thats a horrible, hateful thing to say, especially with such a massive platform", it's "this is wrong because Khelif was actually AFAB!" like she might actually be sued. yes transmisogyny can be targeted against tme people but they clearly have recourse and the shield of Not Actually Being Transfeminine where tma people do not.
