Look, if you

make fun of disabled people

disrespect the sensory and physical needs of your fellow punks

call people with sensory processing disorder posers because they can't crank their music loud

use slurs you cannot reclaim

Abuse those who have a physical disability

are ableist in any way

You're not Punk in a rebellious, amazing way. You're a punk as in what parents call their fortnite-crazy kids.

You CANNOT be ableist and punk; if society is going to harm those of us with cognitive or physical differences, beating us down isn't breaking new ground, it's following a hateful mold set by ableist assholes.

The point of Punk is to go against the norm. To rebel. And what could be more rebellious than caring for those beaten down in the name of modernity? Let's face it: people who can't attend concerts because of their disability aren't posers. The ones who beat them up for it are. People who can't walk at protests aren't posers, the ones who act like they're less than human are.

Be a good rebel. Attack the assholes, not the innocents. There's nothing punk rock about ableism, racism, or homophobia.

I want to start giving tickets for homophobia

Like someone does something homophobic, you just write a ticket like "you have been homophobic" and then it's like you have to pay this much to your local LGBTQ organization, the more homophobic they were the larger the fine

ngl, I'm beginning to take issue with how in conversations about anti-intellectualism almost automatically, the face of girls and women will be slapped on the problem.

Saw this mentioned on Instagram and holy fuck I hadn't even considered it....

Tennessee's anti-drag laws would criminalize Purim celebrations.

Purim Spiels usually involve a lot of drag, and it's often a tradition in Orthodox congregations for a Rabbi to dress up as Queen Esther or Vashti in the Purim Spiel. As a kid, all the Rabbis at my Jewish day school would put on a Purim Spiel, and yes, two Rabbis dressed in drag to play Queen Esther and Queen Vashti. Even in more socially conservative Jewish communities, Purim is the one instance where you'll see cishet men wear make-up and glitter. Purim has always involved a lot of cross-dressing and gender-bending and flamboyant make-up and costumes.

And I mean if you're a Christian and you don't care about Jews .....this would also criminalize Mardi Gras celebrations.

"Georgia Republicans bundled over a dozen measures that targeted the state’s transgender residents into omnibus packages in a desperate attempt to get them passed. In a stunning defeat for the GOP, every single one of them failed.

Legislators gutted bills that had passed through committee and instead stuffed them full of their anti-LGBTQ+ wishlist items.

Bills that would ban transgender students from playing on teams aligned with their gender identity, ban transgender students from bathrooms aligned with their gender identity, opt parents into notification for every book a student checks out of the library, bar sex education before sixth grade, make all sex-ed classes opt-in and expand obscenity laws to make it easier to ban books with LGBTQ+ content all failed.

“MAGA politicians in Georgia tried it all in service to their anti-LGBTQ+ agenda,” said Human Rights Campaign Georgia State Director Bentley Hudgins, “including silencing debate and gutting unrelated, popular bills that had bipartisan support to ram through policies that would have put young LGBTQ+ Georgians in harm’s way. They failed.”

“It’s undeniable that the tides are shifting, both here in Georgia and across the nation,” Georgia Equality executive director Jeff Graham added. “Anti-LGBTQ actors are losing their political power, and more and more Georgians who know and love LGBTQ people are standing up against their baseless fear-mongering.”

In Florida recently, nearly two dozen anti-LGBTQ+ bills were defeated in the wake of Gov. Ron DeSantis‘s (R) presidential campaign implosion, dozens of measures in Virginia were tabled [Note: In the US, "tabled" means "shelved" or "taken out of consideration - the opposite of its meaning in the UK and other places], and Ohio’s governor backed off his attempt to restrict gender-affirming care access for transgender adults and minors. 

Meanwhile, in D.C., Democrats successfully excised 50 anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in the two budget bills passed and signed by President Joe Biden to fund the federal government.

Even Fox News has been forced to acknowledge transgender issues are among the lowest-priority concerns among voters."

Nex Benedict — a nonbinary, Native American, 16-year-old sophomore — was reportedly beaten to denath on February 7 by three older female students in the bathroom of Owasso High School in Oklahoma. The school refused to call an ambulance for the injured teen and didn’t inform police of the attack until Benedict was later admitted into the hospital — they died from their injuries the next day.

I'm not lgbt in the sense of "Jesus would have accepted gay people too." I'm queer in the sense of "if God hates faggots then I'm on the side of Satan."

I wish people remembered that one way men are oppressed for being men when they are men who date other men.

Saying men can't be oppressed for being men is homophobia. Gay men who love other men, their status as men is central to the oppression they receive!

Ergo, trans men are oppressed for being men. We are men who are transgender. The transphobia against us is because we are men who are trans. If you take away the man in trans men, you take away the trans! The two are inseparable. Just how gay men's sexuality is inseparable from their gender as they are interdependent.

This is aside from the oppresion disabled men and men of colour face.

Men are oppressed for being men. Its just that the most visible men in society usually aren't.
