#stop gender violence

[heckacentipede]

small reminder this pride season that in the natural world you will find examples of animals changing their sex [such as the peacocks, or those lions], or being multiple sexes [such as bilateral gynandromorphs], or similarly being what you want to call "naturally nonbinary" or "naturally trans".

it's fun to use these wonderful creatures as trans and nonbinary iconography, but please! don't forget your intersex siblings in your excitement. those are intersex animals, not trans or nonbinary

sincerely, a perisex bigender constantly bummed at the missed opportunity for cool pride art

#intersex #nonbinary #trans #pride month #queer #i haven't made much pride art at all #but maybe I'll start just for this #please don't stop creating pride art with these animals #just try to be mindful that these animals are intersex #and yes i consider intersex a part of the queer community if they want to be considered queer personally #a lot of gender marginalization experiences overlap with how they experience gender and sex #not to mention intersex specific violence #catfriend

TW: FEMICIDE please interact.

24 recorded femicides in Greece in 2022.

"We grew up in the houses, next to the houses, over the graves of the women who "fell down the stairs", who were "accidentally hit by a passing car", who "stumbled on the pavement", who "fell on the street". Femicides are not just news headlines. They are the women we lived with. We live with them. Every femicide speaks for all of us. It talks about our mothers, our grandmothers, our neighbors, our friends, our sisters. Every femicide is our story. They are our roots. It is the graves that crush us and unite us." - Valia Tsirigioti, greek sociologist.

2023 statistics haven't been published, yet in the past nine months there have been atleast 10 recorded cases.

Despite the country's femicide outbreak during the past decade, the term "femicide" hasn't been officially recognized by the government, hence hundreds of cases have been reported as "homicide" or " product of domestic violence" and contemptuously "passion crimes". If the families victims didn't insist on using the term femicide for their loved ones' murders , their names wouldn't have been heard.

Vasiliki, 54, Konstantina, 28, Caroline, 20, Elene, 64, Garyfallia, 24, Maria, 43, Monica, 42. These are some of their names. The rest of them were forgotten and barely talked about by the media.

Protests lead to bloodshed - sabotage and violence coming from the police.

We are scared that a protest might be the cause of another femicide. Female protests are the most peaceful and yet male intervention makes them the most violent .

My own country is betraying me, I live by the fear I'm going to be next.

would be SO cool if we could make 2024 the year we stop acting like fanfic writers and fanartists should be held to the standards of representation and political savviness that people expect from published, paid work, and accept that fanfic and fanart are not some kind of fucking praxis but rather a hobby that people do for fun.

#also possibly if we could stop trying to universally impose american / european attitudes #towards gender and sexuality but that might be too much to ask #:) waking up & choosing violence. have a blessed saturday everyone #blondiepost

imagine thinking that trans men are inherently bad or evil or predatory on the basis of gendered privilege and societal power structures. cringe

#transmasc discourse #like the idea that trans men gain male privilege and kick down the ladder to beat on the queer community is astonishingly stupid at best #the idea that transphobia or queerphobia as a whole doesn't affect them because they're Assimilating With The Oppressors is like #man fucking what is up with people yknow #gender essentialism is fucked up and it's the same force that's beaten down on bi ace and transfem people #the fact that this has turned into 'trans rights but only for the women' by some dumb-fuck shitstains is awful #no. trans rights for all. #like let me explain what I mean here: trans men aren't seen as men by transphobes #it's not 'oh you're a fella? crack a cold beer and let's bash some gays'. passing as a man has just as much risk to it as passing as a woman #because a man who will attack a trans woman as someone who is not a woman will most likely attack a trans man he does not see as a man #with the same violence he might level against a cis woman #that's just on the masc side. i can't speak for any violence against trans men by cis women but I can see how cis women discredit trans men #by claiming them as Lost Lesbians and Sisters In Arms who've been lost due to the Trans Agenda #like people shit on bi people because they have 'passing privilege'. but we know that bi people face homophobia #and other issues about their orientation. the idea that trans men get their Boys Will Be Boys card is to focus on a tiny selection #that *potentially* has the power to he a shithead - like a queerphobic asexual person or a malicious bi person #and paint an entire group of diverse people as literally the worst interpretation you can imagine about them #like consider that you have your own issues and/or biases in regards to people you like and want to hang out with #and stop calling entire groups of people invaders and oppressors whose entire goal is to upend the community #and turn the power of queer people against them #i understand how it feels to feel powerless and to have somewhere where you feel supported and safe #but if you're going to see pain and hate in every group who shares your experience but gives you an ick for whatever reason #there's a solid chance that the Righteous Crusade against them is - in fact - your own personal dislike wielding a modicum of power #that essentially functions the same way that hetero- and cis-normative standards and people have rejected you. #it is essentially you becoming the bully. and just like bi and ace and transfem people before I won't stand for it #trans men are my people.

I see a lot of fun clips on tiktok about how BG3 is for everyone, it’s for the girlies, it’s a dress up game, it’s a dating sim etc. don’t get me wrong - I love the sentiment, I love drawing new folks into gaming and dnd who might be intimidated otherwise, I love taking something traditionally male-dominated and gatekeepy and opening it up to whoever wants to play. but dear lord my friends if you go into BG3 with no gaming experience, no knowledge of dnd 5e and an expectation of a funky little fantasy romp, you are going to be faced with a challenge. for every “BG3 is a dress up game lol” clip I find, I see just as many “omg y’all why does my dating sim have combat in it :(“ posts. maybe I’m taking it all too seriously and everyone is just having a fun little joke, but please don’t build false expectations and don’t sell people short - BG3 is absolutely for the girlies and whoever wants to play BECAUSE it’s strategic and challenging and handles sensitive topics. because the girlies can handle that shit too!!!

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #like listen I understand the appeal of claiming something traditionally masculine and instead claiming it’s femininity #the witcher 3 is absolutely a horse girl game. fight me on it #but I feel like reducing a game to the tiny parts of it that are traditionally feminine is kind of counterproductive #again. tw3 is a horse girl game. it’s also gory and violent and harsh. and that can be girly too #maybe I’m just taking everything too literally? so I apologize if that’s the case #but also if I see one more tiktok about how bg3 is for the girls bc it’s got Romance and Fun Clothes I’m going to lose it #don’t get me wrong I love me a dating sim!! I love a funky little dress up game!!! #but can we. can we stop needlessly gendering shit like that #games can be for the girlies bc the girlies can just enjoy games yknow #the girlies can also like games with blood and gore and violence and fear. those are for the girlies too #yknow????? #talkies

Just saw a post unironically call men inherently dangerous and incapable of being partners to people especially women and I can't fucking believe ppl are still spreading stupid political lesbianism / lesbian separatism bullshit in this day and age with a helping of "its not possible to have a healthy romantic or sexual relationship with a man"

#antimasculism #antimasculism tw #vent #people who want to be w men will always exist. men are not innately dangerous #a woman could harm you too #most of my abuse has been from a cis woman !! stop thinking women are 'safer' than men theyre not !! #literally anyone has the capacity to be dangerous or be abusive and gender is not the only axis of oppression #do you really care about intimate partner violence or are you just mad that you dont have a girlfriend like arent y'all sick of this femcel #nonsense like literally. do you think you can or should tell ppl to not date men ??

[rad-fire-vixen]

d’aww, gonna block me, @bizzarolord?

“i don’t give a shit about men liking me” then why are you siding so hard with them when they would gladly stomp on your throat like they’ve done to me and every other woman that’s ever existed?

“i trust men more than women, especially lesbians and feminists” why? why would you trust your oppressors more than the other humans that are oppressed for the same reasons as you? you really fell for the “men are more trustworthy than women because men will just beat you up but women are just catty bitches and master manipulators”. lmao men are the ultimate manipulators and the fact that you fell for it is just sad.

#they block me but they can’t stop me #men are not more trustworthy than women #men have been manipulating shit since forever #especially women and girls #radfems do interact #radical feminism #gender critical #trans receipts #trans brain rot #brain rot tag #radfem #radblr #trans #male violence

I think what strikes me most about Marissa having the same talent as Lucy is how much of a betrayal it is. Because of his past, Lockwood hates ghosts and wants to destroy them. George finds them scientifically interesting but not due the same respect as a living human. And that's all a lot easier if your experience of them is 'scary apparition that hurts me'. But Lucy can empathize with them. She feels their pain and sorrow. Even when she can't speak with them directly, she still tries to communicate and find out what they need. Marissa can do that too. It's ambiguous how much she's been psychically enthralled, but she more than almost anyone can understand the dead, and she builds a whole industry on treating them like vermin while trapping them in hell as livestock.

#at least anyone else could say they didn't hear the screaming #Lucy @ ghosts: I am approaching you with a hand extended in friendship #but my other hand is holding a sword so don't get ideas #she will START with the power of love #but is holding the power of incredible violence in reserve #much like in his other series it's also interesting to see who's using what pronouns when #now reminded of that meme.... #Lucy: what are your pronouns #skull: what's a pronoun #Lucy: indicative of but not exclusive to your gender identity #skull: stop swearing at me #perpetual perpetual ladies night #lockwood and co

Male moment.

Women can't feel comfortable in their relationships anymore because motherfuckers like these make them feel like dolls that you can play with and dump whenever you like.

This is absolutely disgusting, my heart is with all the women who have met males like this in their life. Please PLEASE never forgive such behaviors, leave. We must never depend our life and happiness on males.

“There has been significant progress made in eliminating the practice in the past 30 years. Young girls in many countries today are at much lower risk of being subjected to FGM than their mothers and grandmothers were in the past. However, progress is not universal or fast enough. In some countries, the practice remains as common today as it was three decades ago.” - Unicef

anyway i'm officially at the point where i'm on the floor crying over how a lot of these 'call my muse by their full name' prompts have been like "yeong-hwan? that's weird. you're obviously byan."

#it makes byan so!!!!!! ugh!!!!! it's one of those moments where they realize they've put their trust in the right people #and it makes them a lot more emotional than they'll let on (in turn making ME v emotional) #they don't have a TON of moments where they really like. struggle in terms of their gender. #they stopped letting other peoples' opinions of them get to them too badly a long time ago #(or they like. take it out on those people with violence) #but when it comes to the people who DO matter to them........ and when it comes to their name... they do have concerns #they do get nervous. they DO get uncomfortable. #they've had people who seem supportive turn their backs on them before. ones who turned out to not take them seriously before. #they're kind of terrified of that happening again in these relationships they've let themself lean in to. #so having the people who matter to them most brush off their 'real' name in favour of byan is honestly so big for them #especially bc like. they're clearly very open about not abiding by gender binary but it's not smth they really TALK about with people so #it's HUGE to have people just accept that without any real explanation on their end? #it's incredibly validating. it makes them feel v accepted and that's not a feeling they get a lot so it's. yeah. it's Important #and it honestly earns that person some bonus trust points too tbh #i'm losing my train of thought but just know that i love these and that they're super significant to byan ok ty #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don't @ me.

The worst thing Gen Z has done, and thinks is activism™, is claiming that similar actions are the same no matter the context

If you really think that

A victim of abuse lashing out against their abuser is just as bad as the abuser

Bullying a bigot is just as bad as a bigot bullying minorities

Misgendering bigoted cis people is just as bad as them misgendering trans folk

I just don't like you very much

#like #watched an atheist call in show #and apparently trans people complained that #calling the christian god a 'she' is misgendering and bad #what the absolute fuck #kids #stop it #care about the real problem #not an atheist trying to annoy some bigot sexist fundies #i can gender imaginary concepts however i want #oh and let's not forget the believers who use she/her pronouns for god #it's such a non issue and i can't believe it got even addressed #bullying bigots is always morally correct #especially fash and terfs #their whole existence is violence #and i shouldn't have to say anything about abuse victims lashing out in self defense
