8M

cw: Violence towards women in Latin America

Today March 8th is not a day to celebrate. Latin America lives through this day very differently than North America and most of Europe.

This is the day we take our fight to the streets. We protest and we scream the names of those who were taken away from us. We will continue tu burn everything until our governments understand how far we will go until they do their jobs.

WOMEN ARE MISSING, THEY ARE GETTING KILLED AND RAPED.

THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAN NOT ENOUGH WHITE WOMEN IN POSITIONS OF POWER IN CORPORATE AMERICA.

IF YOU HAVE BEEN PRIVILED ENOUGH TO GO THROUGH YOUR LIFE WITHOUT KNOWING THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS DAY I URGE YOUR TO INFORM YOURSELVES. DO THE REASEARCH, IT IS NOT OUR JOB TO HELP YOU WORK THROUGH YOUR WHITE GUILT.

THERE ARE MY WAYS TO HELP AND AWARNESS IS ONE OF THEM.

Read about this day. And don't forget about Palestinian women, especially not today.

¡Alerta! ¡Alerta! 

Alerta que camina 

la lucha feminista 

por América Latina.

Y tiemblen, y tiemblen

y tiemblen los machistas

qué América Latina será

toda feminista

i'm a feminist, but that does not mean that i support all women

stop expecting me to support white and/or american women / women from the global north who have been directly involved/indirectly complicit in the degradation and oppression of my people. i am not obligated to support hillary clinton or to think michelle obama is a girlboss. i spit on all the women who served in the united states military, women who committed and continue to commit war crimes against my people

these women can go fuck themselves. fuck the women who went on a power trip feeling like liberated girlbosses by assaulting brown and/or muslim men. these women deserve every terrible thing that happens to them

p.s. this is sexual assault just in case u have difficulty identifying it when it happens to brown/muslim men. i wonder how 'empowered' this stupid white bitch felt after sexually assaulting these men

Privilege doesn’t like to talk about intersectionality.

Privilege likes to tells me this would look good on my college essay

Because privilege doesn't know the deadly combination

Of my muslim nose &

Queer skin

Privilege likes to live in its own bubble

Floating up to the surface of the ocean

Only popping when it reaches the shore,

While the rest of us,

Are anchored to the seabed

Feisty Lady Anger and other things about me you hate

My mother prizes her anger, for all that she doesn't express it openly. I tell stories about her spiteful, steel-spined responses to people who told her, "You can't do that," and I point to them as Why I Am How I Am. Her father told her he wouldn't pay for her college because "women only go to earn the MRS degree," and she could "get married and have babies" without college. In response, Mom got her bachelor's in Mathematics in 1970 on her own dime, back in the days when in-state students didn't pay tuition at state schools (just another thing Reagan ruined). She worked and paid for her books and housing, got her degree, paid for her own wedding because he wouldn't do that either. Taught school, got her Master's, had three kids, started her Ph.D. with 3 under 6 and became a professor when the youngest was 5.

Tell me I can't, my mom told the world, and I'll show you that I can. I won't just do it, I'll become a department head and a Distinguished Professor and retire after 30 years of teaching other math teachers with a list of achievements as long as my arm.

There is an anger that runs deep in the women in my family. Tell me I can't, and I'll show you I can. Show me injustice and I'll tear at it with my teeth and hands, staring you down while I do. Backwards and in heels.

I can't tell you the moment I crossed out of Feisty Lady Anger in the eyes of the people close to me, but I can tell you the moment I noticed. Maybe it was when my voice started dropping or the growing muscles on my shoulders pulled my stance more square and upright. Maybe it was when I moved from they/them to he/they, and somehow I stepped from Diet Woman to Too Close To Man in their eyes.

It's a funny thing when all of a sudden your anger becomes real enough to be startling to people. Your anger is no longer feisty, charming, and attractive. This thing that people liked about you, that people who say they love you said they loved about you, suddenly becomes frightening, upsetting, and terrible. The way you didn't let people mow over you and fought back used to be a thing that people admired. It was actively attractive. It was one of your best qualities.

Now? It's ugly. It's disgusting. It's scary. The thing you were is gone, and now your anger is real to them.

It's in that moment that the blade cuts back towards you. You realize the reason your squared shoulders and set jaw drew people in couldn't be squared with the stubble on that jaw or the newfound strength in your arms. Feisty Lady Anger isn't real, not in the way a man's anger is real. Feisty Lady Anger is admirable, sure, but it is admirable because of its essential ineffectual nature. At most, Feisty Lady Anger fixes minor problems for the kids at school, gets the principal to back down from scolding your child when she politely asks the kid calling her a faggot on the bus if he knows what that really means, pushes a woman to achieve for her family, in appropriately neutered ways.

When you stop pretending to be a woman and become who you really are, when your anger becomes real, you realize both that the thing about you that people loved is gone and that this thing was attractive in the first place because of its ineffectiveness. Your anger wasn't scary because it wasn't real enough to be threatening.

Now you have Man Anger, and, you're told, you should apologize for that. It doesn't matter if it's the same anger you've always had, or that you're angry about the same things. It comes now in baritone, with belly hair and bellowing, and now it's both real and disgusting.

The worst part is watching it come from people you thought should know better, the people who should understand. You spent nearly 40 years being told to sit down and shut up because the men in your professional career were speaking, assured that if you just waited your turn, you'd be given a place to speak eventually, and now here you are being told within a community that claims to love and understand you, by people that claim to be in community with you and love who you are, that you actually don't have any real problems to speak about, also your Man Anger and Man Privilege (when do I get that, please?) are Scary and mean you should sit down and wait, and you'll be given a place to speak eventually.

It is the Transmasculine Catch-22: if you become Man Enough to no longer fit into Almost Lady, your anger becomes Real, which makes you realize that your anger wasn't Real before, but because it's Real now, you're not allowed to have it. And by the way, you're not allowed to be neither Man or Lady - now you're Man Enough, and that makes it all the more clear how you were simply Kirkland Signature Lady right up until the point you weren't.

There will be a few people who Fucking Get It, who don't see you as either a Failed Lady or a Broken Man, and you'll love those people all the more for their rarity. It won't take the sting out of realizing that the things people you love loved about you before now disgust and repel them, but it'll make it enough to keep going.

You couldn't stop, anyway. You've never felt more yourself, and the people who don't love you, the actual you, the real you... the loss of that hurts, but not nearly as much as the idea of pretending to be something else did.

"Feminism involves so much more than gender equality. And it involves so much more than gender. Feminism must involve a consciousness of capitalism (I mean, the feminism that I relate to. And there are multiple Feminisms, right). It has to involve a consciousness of capitalism and racism and colonialism and post colonialities and ability and more genders than we can even imagine, and more sexualities than we ever thought we could name."

REMEMBER THIS TODAY, INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY IS NOT A DAY OF CELEBRATION. TODAY WE FIGHT.

[uncanny-tranny]

Passing as a trans man is a nuanced and complex topic, but one thing I have been noticing as somebody who is a cis-passing (white) trans man is the way I'm treated when there is conflict.

I've noticed that in conflict, people are almost meek around me, willing for me to try working with them up until a woman is involved. When a woman (or, really, anybody who the other party assumes is one) is part of the conflict, they direct all their anger and rage to them. It's fucking insane the way a woman is treated when there is conflict, even if it isn't her fucking fault. These people are fundamental cowards for seeing my manhood as the only reason they can't be openly hostile to me, but it reveals a lot about how a misogynist thinks on an almost primal level.

I'm watching the women and people around me I care about being torn apart by people, and that's unacceptable. I can't sit around to watch it, and I don't want to do that. I need other people to perhaps read this and remember to not stand by if there is something that you can tangibly do to help, even if it's to lend a listening ear or let the person vent.
