Seriously though, fuck terfs and radfems who double down on their bullshit and tell other trans people that they're "using the murder of a child" to "further their own agenda", like really Becky?
When we get mad at the abhorrent murder of our own community and try to spread awareness, you tell us that we're disgusting pigs twisting the death of someone into an argument for our benefit, (protecting trans people. How evil, right?) while you pretend to remain ignorant to the fact that YOUR IDEAOLOGY is KILLING CHILDREN ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Make no mistake, they know that accusing us of that makes no sense, but it's the only way for them to argue their way out of being part of a movement that tells others to kill trans people.
They are cowardly hypocrits who need to twist reality to justify their hatred. They will try to gaslight people and shift blame any way they can.

And I love how gay unemployed 20 somethings on think that a vast interconnected network involving the US government, independent media, Verizon, etc, conspired to delete a couple dozen blogs on a dying blogging platform is somehow more likely than a gay unemployed twenty something disillusioned with American politics unknowingly following a sockpuppet account or two back in 2016.

I've been reading Jack Halberstam's "Trans*: A Quick and Quirky Account of Gender Variability" (it's a really good read so far; I've been meaning to delve deeper into Halberstam's work for a while now) and this passage from the second chapter struck me as expressing a particularly important point about trans and queer history:
"...historian María Elena Martínez noted the incompleteness of the historical record, the impossibility of reading 'truth' in the fragments that one finds there, and the inapplicability of contemporary models of sex and gender to historical figures, warning in general against applying terms like 'gay,' 'lesbian,' and 'transgender' or 'intersex' to figures from other eras. 'The act of mapping a category onto subjects who may not have recognized the practices, lifestyles, notions of body and self, and so forth that it references,' she writes, 'aligns itself with a genealogy of power—one that imposes, distorts, or forecloses certain desires, identifications, and experiences. It can also entail missing an opportunity to discover in the past human possibilities and imaginings that were suppressed or left unfulfilled but that can provide guidance in the present for creating better worlds in the future.' This is a beautiful passage and a subtly nuanced proposal for how to go about historicizing ambiguous bodies."

"Homophobias not a big deal anymore" okay then why are there videos of my friends and I at our pride booth on conservative Facebook pages? If homophobia isn't a big deal, why have people recorded my queer friends and I without our consent? If homophobia isn't a big deal, why have people come into our queer spaces and shout bible verses in our faces? If homophobia isn't a big deal then why have I been called slurs by random people on the road?

A well known Saudi trans woman on twitter was manipulated, tricked, and kidnapped back to Saudi Arabia from DC by a group of “security specialists” hired by her family so they could forcibly detransition her, which led to her suicide. She posted her suicide note yesterday on twitter, naming the people who facilitated in her kidnapping back to her abusive family, who include members of extreme religious groups like the Heritage Foundation, and today her family posted her funeral services announcement, misgendering and deadnaming her along the way. The evil in this world is horrific. I’m so heartbroken and sad to see this girl I admired snuffed out this way, and I pray justice is served for the Americans who helped set her up to be kidnapped, abused, and driven to her death.
Justice for Eden.

So Youtube is doing this disgusting thing now that if you're using an add blocker, they will have a pop up that comes up at the beginning of EVERY. SINGLE. VIDEO. that pauses the video and you have to click off of the pop up. Worse yet, is you can't use Addblock OR uBlock Origin to block the popup... it's not able to... And after awhile of this... They give you the ultimatium:
Undo your addblocker... or they will stop the video player from working . After researching a bit, I've seen that no one has been able to get around this, and people have actually gotten their accounts banned on youtube... or even when logged out youtube still blocks the player from working - so maybe it's linked to IP addresses (I dunno)...
All I DO know, is that I - terrified that they would ban my account - undid my addblockers for their website so I could watch youtube (since I don't have the extra cashflow to give them the $14 a month for no adds)... and just a moment ago was slapped in the face with an add for a transphobic documentary that "tells the untold stories of those effected by this... transition" and "what the mainstream media doesn't want people to know"...
I can tell you that it really thrust my dysphoria into my face as well as basically made my mother's voice echo in my head (since a lot of the "parents" they showed in the add have the same views as her about m transition)... My therapist is going to have a FIELD DAY with this when I go see her... although right now I just want to not exist really.
I put in feedback yesterday about how some people have addblockers for their health - not just physically and mentally, but also emotionally too - and of course today... one of the first videos I watch on youtube... and I get THAT as an add... coincidence - probably - but holy shit.
