Hi! Apologies if this seems intrusive, but I was just curious how I can try to combat antisemitism w/in my local left-leaning spaces? I’m not Jewish, but I have family that is, and tbh I’m pretty disgusted by some of the shit my peers at university say abt Jews. Like it’s literally nazi propaganda but ‘uwu leftist 🍉’ and taking a foreign tragedy and making it into an excuse to be literally nazi-lite. Idk where to even start in addressing it or if I shouldn’t even try and it’s not worth engaging with?? Some of them might not even be open to understanding but idk I’d like to maybe try to get them to understand that saying shit like ‘erm actually Israel is the deep state / new world order’ DOES play into antisemitic conspiracy theories, whether they know that or not

Ok so we don't usually answer asks like this, not because they're intrusive, just because this is a blog for Jewish people to vent so this technically breaks several rules. HOWEVER I do think it's a good question so I'll make an exception.

First of all, absolutely stand up for Jewish people in public and in private. One of the problems with antisemites is that nowadays they feel like it's fully acceptable to be antisemitic with no repercussions. So let's make them feel the opposite. If someone is being antisemitic (or racist, or queerphobic, or anything of that nature), on purpose, public shaming might work. Just make sure you're not putting yourself or the people you're trying to protect in danger.

Second, always listen to the minorities you're trying to help. This is a crucial part of activism, and it seems you're doing it right, so thank you for that.

Last but not least, REACH OUT and HELP your local Jewish community. Tell them you want to help and ask how. Ask what they need. This could be making Jewish friends (they probably lost many friends and might feel lonely and abandoned), helping your local community with small donations, asking if they need help keeping watch during services, if Jewish students need someone to walk with them to class. These things are often forgotten but they're especially important in places where Jewish people are being harassed and attacked. These are just some examples of course.

Lastly, thank you for asking. Thank you for being here for us when we need someone

Me: I don’t know, I just can’t tell if I even regress, maybe I’m just attached to a sense of community but everyone’s been so negative that it’s making me second guess myself

Stuffed animals that I’ve been talking to for the past 30 minutes:*sipping from an empty tea cup* Yeah man I hear you I totally get it

Regression isn't always sunshine and rainbows, especially for a certain little shrimp. But that doesn't mean his regression is always so bad either!

He likes to angrily scribble to relieve stress rather than actually drawing a picture. Then he rips up the paper and throws it away to feel better.

”You don’t upload asks that don’t agree with the transandrophobia framework :/” yeah dunce it’s literally in my pinned post that if you think transandrophobia is a dogwhistle or not valid you shouldn’t interact and if you do you will be blocked. Why are you coming to the “transmascs talking about suffering” blog and complaining about transmascs talking about their suffering. This isn’t even coming into my house and telling me how to organise my furniture, this is somehow worse.

A note from the mods about mental health

This is a difficult time for all of us, and has had particular impacts on those of us who struggle with our mental health. Worse, issues of antisemitism from mental health professionals create significant barriers to receiving the help we need. Many organizations which serve the Jewish community do offer mental health services, and it is worth asking your rabbi if they know of any such groups.

Additionally, the Association of Jewish Psychologists, while primarily focused on advocacy and education, offers free and virtual support groups for the Jewish Community.

If you are looking for individual therapy, Relief Help is an international network of Jewish mental health professionals, and offer a free referral service to help clients find professionals who can meet their individual needs.

Remember that you matter, and your wellbeing matters. Take care of yourselves, and let your community take care of you.
