it’s really funny seeing people say “omg shut up about trans men being sexist to trans women you stupid bitch feminist in the real world trans guys and trans girls are making out” and then i go to a party in real life and meet a bunch of trans girls and they’re like “i hate those posts they’re so sexist” LMFAO
before it gets bad I'm just gonna tell y'all certain rich people have literally only recently noticed Open Source software availability compromises the bottom line of their proprietary investments so if you see little chickadees on this website talking about the dangers of Open Source software all of a sudden it's cuz they accidentally sipped some koolaid mixed up by the far right yacht people to fuck with peoples software sovereignty and right to repair, modify, and redistribute robust codebases that become a problem when 30% of your portfolio is in, oh, say, adobe or openai.
This is your unfriendly neighborhood computer fucker telling you not to fall for it and to demand your right to digital sovereignty rather than trusting companies to make correct choices about what to do with the parts of your life they would very much like to have in the cloud to continue improving their products.
what im saying is this. and yeah, if every or most of the people in this situation were also masking, that would be perfect - but it only takes a few people's decisions (improving ventilation in an area) to increase the protection of every single person who will ever be in that space. when somebody masks, they're protecting themselves, and if they're sick or contagious, they're protecting the people around them - but only when they're in that space! no matter what we do, short of highly enforced mask mandates (very, very difficult to both put into action and enforce), people are not going to mask everywhere.
and we can say they should. and we can educate people on why they should. and we will! but it is not going to make everyone mask! our energy would all collectively be better used, imo, into educating on the insane improvements in respiratory spread when you improve air circulation. that means a space can become more accessible if only half of people are masking, or even less. and it will make you, dear reader who masks, even MORE protected against illness in ALL spaces.
really interestingly damaging theme in my relationships with cisgender women and tme trans people (b4 i got wise) was a monopolisation on suffering. it was implied where it was not outright stated along an ideological line that might as well have been womanhood (from which u r excluded) is suffering. this was completely inseparable, by the way, from the inordinate amount of unpaid care work i was expected to perform to show due sensitivity as a boyfriend partner. care work that has by exhausting me since seriously compromised my health. carework that, when ceased, repeatedly collapsed relationships with it.
So we all mocked the Minecraft movie and agreed to not give it money...only for y'all to immediately go see it?
“I’m an ally but I could never date a trans woman because I was abused by a man as a child and the thought of dating a trans woman reminds me of him” should not be as widely accepted an argument as it is.
Why do people feel the need to chime in on every conversation like that? No one is keeping track of who you’re dating. You could never date a trans woman in your life and no one would bat an eye. Why would you choose to come online and, as an “ally”, compare a trans woman being attracted to you to sexual assault?

White people love to be like "I avoid Black people because I'm scared I'll accidentally be racist to them" and think it's 1) somehow not racist to do this 2) a normal thing to do and admit
