projecting all ur issues™ onto fictional characters is a time honored tradition. if kafka can give a cockroach his depression and deepseated fears of uselessness i can give a comic book character my personality disorder and sexual traumas. god’s dead and soon we will be too so in 2018 write all the weirdly specific Coping Fic you want and don’t let people get on your case about it

more generally there’s really never a way to prove, 100% that someone’s a terf, or that something is ever intended to be transphobic, if they’re careful about their word choices (more careful than ive ever seen a radfem be but lmao just run w the hypothetical)

but instead of that, just a bit of life advice here, u can ask how does this look to trans people? is it positive? what messages do trans people receive, and is it conducive to their mental health and survival? because they’re a lot easier to answer, and we’re probably telling you already if u listen

like im not up for debating “is this malicious or did it only look bad?” because feigning this shit has been in the conservative playbook for centuries as a way of wasting our energy on a debate designed to be fundamentally pointless. don’t fall for it lmao

“but this submission blog can’t be run by a terf, because not all their submissions are transphobic” 🤔

“but i can’t find any evidence of transphobia if i search trans on their blog, and none of their thousands of well documented buzzwords and dog whistles” 🤔

do i dare respond to that cursed post. i probably should but i don’t have the energy to deal with people just, continuing to ask the most inane shit instead of looking in the notes where there’s better and clearer evidence

or even. just using common sense. like that post was for trans people. if u think about it for 0.4 seconds, u may realise, perhaps, trans people may not want to see terfs on their dash 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 sounds fake hey

This court case will make or break the rest of my life

I’m completely bedbound. A lifetime of healthcare will be forever lost if I can’t afford medicolegal assessments to claim compensation.

##UPDATE##(Dec 23): ONLY 1 ½ HOURS LEFT  to raise $1175 for medicolegal. Delays are putting THE REST OF MY LIFE in SERIOUS JEOPARDY. 

  • Five years ago, a fall down
    a staircase left me confined to bed for life.
  • I now need 24
    hour care     that I can’t afford. [Medical reports]. 
  • Without compensation to pay for healthcare, my existing deterioration would continue.
  • At the age of 22, I am terrified of being forced into a nursing
    home     by far more debilitating impairments in a few years’ time.
  • Whether I receive compensation for a lifetime of healthcare will depend on upcoming medicolegal assessments,
  • The assessments determine if the fall caused my condition. 
  • Prior payment needed: ONLY 13 DAYS left to raise the required $9,407 by Jan 4 (ET) via SHORT TERM GOALS

wait one more post and this one is the Tinfoil Hat edition

im pretty sure the “queer is a slur!!” stuff started from like terf/truscum garbage and then bled out into fucking everything. 90% of complaints about “queers” are like two steps removed from complaining about transtrenders or whatever anyway, just replace the fake trans girl who transitioned because of autogynephilia with the straight cis man with a beard who calls himself aromantic because he wants to fuck a lot of girls. theyre both fuckin boogeymen but one sounds worse to a wider audience so you can get away with shitting on other lgbt folks for not being as Pure as you or having slightly silly opinions

the stupid fucking debates over this are just bi/trans/nonbinary exclusion shit with a new coat of paint that way more people seem to fall for. its just using an imaginary Cishet Asexual Man as a bludgeon to further fuck with people who were already getting treated like shit

i mean some people have had personal experiences that make them uncomfortable with being called queer but honestly. yeah all of this

where the fuck do people live that “aro fake queers” are a problem worth putting emotional energy into

where the fuck do people live that urban lgbt communities dont use the word queer

is it like. portland or something. wheres this bizzarro realm.

yeah i mean this is barring personal circumstances/bad times with het
people still Actually using it as a slur, of course, but there’s a big
difference between the general decent rule of “make sure it’s cool
before you refer to someone with that term” and “if you use this word
you’re cringey”.

but yeah i dont know. it feels like some kind of
spectral, nebulous enemy that’s composed primarily of dumb twitter
posts, troll MOGAI blogs, and hypotheticals, and now if you use the word
queer near the wrong people online you get tossed in the bin with all
the other Space Invaders

The funniest homophobic notion out there is the whole, “you’re just a lesbian because you can’t get a man” thing. Like, do you have any idea how easy it is to get a man? It takes a smartphone and ten minutes of time while trying to get a girlfriend is like trying to win the lottery with a single ticket you found on the sidewalk. 

And you and the lottery ticket are both too scared to make the first move so actually you just walk past it wistfully.
