White witches™️ will literally come up with a thousand excuses and find a thousand ways to get around to a justification rather than perform just one simple action of not being racist.

I would honestly call the left's inability to accomodate people with morality-based OCD compulsions an accessibility issue at this point.

#coming under this: black and white morality thinking! #constant guilting about posting on social media showing your true values and personality! #shitting on people for their alarm about protest suicide! (with bonus 'how dare you insinuite mental illness was a factor!') #glorification of making yourself suffer mentally by viewing uncensored war imagery in 'solidarity' for those suffering in war! #unquestioning acceptance of all of the above as good and right! #promoting the idea that the individual self is expendable and that focusing on yourself (even to survive) is a reflection of your character #seriously this website cares so much about mental health until suddenly it doesn't- fuck the left so much for this i'm so triggered by this #not to be graphic but if i ever take my own life and claim it is for activism- this is not out of the realm of possibility #i DO NOT want anyone to justify my decision with it being activism and indirectly encourage others to do the same #i want people to instead look at the kind of rhetoric that causes people to choose this as a way out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

my first thought/hope when i saw this was that it's corporate speech for "I can't announce this right now so I'll stall by saying something vague" but yes absolutely keep watching and pumping the numbers up on social media too!!

#asks #aurora-dragonus #ofmd #our flag means death #all numbers show that there is incredibly high demand for this show like top 0.02% #and social media posts get SO much engagement #but it's ~weird~ how shows about straight white rich people get renewed immediately #while ofmd apparently has to prove itself many times beyond all measures

wait james somerton sounds a lot like some people on tumblr when they start spouting off about queer history or supposed controversies within it. is that where you guys are getting your stuff? is it james somerton brain poisoning?

#i had never watched or heard of his channel before hbomb and todd's videos #im still watching todds video i just got past that stupid nambla part #tales from diana #i suppose there's a lot to say about people making as nick called 'observational' statements but what todd more aptly calls #pulling shit out of one's ass. #it's the same thing as somerton talking about straight women or white women or straight white women being offended at gay sex scenes #yet supposedly seeking out queer media that would have gay sex scenes? #or slighting more chaste/fluffy queer media ie heartstopper? #ppl who have these sorts of biases against certain types of gay people or their media if it's not what they see as #the most radical progressive form of queer visibility and acceptance. #creating strawmen enemies that they stand in defiance of #yeah this stuff is really getting my mind rolling #i swear ive seen a lot of these points james somerton has made being later used elsewhere on social media #was it ppl watching him who were inspired to go on these rants? #bc ive always seen these sorts of citationless rants and ravings in queer-friendly spaces and been like 'what are you talking about' #maybe someone with a scarf and a video essay voice told them smugly that these things were true #crazy. crazy #but also then again how much of this baseless speculation on social media just fueled/inspired the writing of these video essays... #idk. misinformation is a self-perpetuating cycle.

"You don't have to reblog a post if you don't want to, don't be pressured to-"

There are multiple GENOCIDES happening right now as we type and we are supposed to be on strike and talk about it. This is not about reblogging things you don't want to; you have a moral obligation to stand up for what is right because tumblr, meta and tiktok are actively trying to supress these voices.

You should be uncomfortable for being silent in these moments. You should feel uncomfortable if you have seen dead people on your dash and that your mutual is talking about a genocide that is killing millions of people and using your tax money to fund all the while destroying the ecosystem and you refuse to say anything. You don't get to be comforted or coddled when people are dying and families are being wiped out.

Do you think the people of Congo are comfortable working in mines to produce your iphone? Or living in the dirty swamps? Do you think the people in Sudan are comfortable being displaced, having their properties stolen, starved and being murdered if they are not a specific race? Do you think the people of palestine dying of hunger and disease whilst being bombed everyday are comfortable ?

Anyways, what do I expect from an app full of white people -particularly americans- who do not care when it's not about them.

You deserve to be uncomfortable for being silent.

#free palestine 🇵🇸 #eyes on sudan #free congo #genocide #boycott israel #boycott divest sanction #strike for palestine #i bet you today that if they approve lgbtq rights and abortion for only white people you will NEVER hear about it again #if they approved fair wages for only white people you will NEVER hear them again #if they approved reproductive rights for only white people THEY WILL NEVER TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN #you can't even boycott starbucks??? #let alone share on your social media that YOU control

Betty Friedan was a pick me and hated lesbians.

Betty Friedan's position on lesbians is unfortunate but absolutely irrelevant to the point I was trying to make in my post.

The "trend" of "stay-at-home-girlfriend" and "tradwife" influencers on social media (as well as all that "girl math" and "girl dinner" and "explanation for the girlies" bullshit) is a revival of a second wave feminism era problem that requires a revisit of second wave feminism texts.

I, jokingly, suggested that these influencers should be tricked into reading Friedan's "feminine mystique" so they can be exposed to the dangers of the "problem that has no name". I don't think any contemporary feminist literature would speak to them because they chose to live like 1950s housewives, with the dangers of 1950s housewives, and thus should read about 1950s housewives.

#Feminism #Asks #betty friedan #The thing about older feminist texts is that we can just ignore the stuff that is shit #Because we're smart enough to realise that lgbt+ people need to be included in feminism #And that Friedan's work is not like some universal solution to all of feminism #The feminine mystique is a very specific text about a very specific problem of mostly white middle class women #Which was still a very real problem #And a problem we're somehow facing again because of that weird backslash we're seeing on social media #So yes we can apply that specific text to the revival of that specific problem without engaging in her later homophobia

very happy Matt decided to clarify his stance on the genocide of the Palestinian people rn. Pretty unhappy with the way he worded it, who he centered in his video, and disappointed to see the responses to it on Twitter.

kinda scared to even post about it bc CR fans can get so defensive about their favorite white people that they can often leave little room for criticism or nuance. but man I have thoughts.

#lemme just say. if you have a public platform that has set a precedent for philanthropic work. messages of positivity and love. #and have called attention to various political and social conflicts *in stream*. & whose employees and cast members are vocal #on socials about political topics #then it is NOT unreasonable for fans to expect them to address one of the deadliest orchestrated conflicts in recent history #a literal genocide is happening. thanks in part to the US. #it is good that they donated as a company and as individuals. so good! #but to everyone saying that publicizing good deeds like donations is virtue signaling or demanding CR cast to show their support is #or that activism shouldnt be all about what you post bc then it becomes performative #are kinda missing the point. and theyre not listening to palestinians at all #a huge issue with this conflict & the way its being received in the western world - ESPECIALLY the US bc of its partnership w israel - #is the sheer amount of disgusting minsinformation and propaganda convincing ppl this genocide is either not that bad or that its necessary #everyday citizens CANNOT change foreign policy. we cant do anything! #so what have Palestinians been asking us to do?? SPREAD AWARENESS ON SOCIAL MEDIA. MAKE PEOPLE AWARE. UPLIFT PALESTINIAN VOICES. SHARE LINKS #SHOW PPL THE TRUTH. #and yes its hard! its difficult to watch what theyre going thru. but we HAVE to. #i didnt rlly like matts statement. he said he didnt have the spoons to engage in the discourse. which i get. god i get it. #but ive also seen many many creators/influencers who are also disabled or whose families are directly involved gather their spoons to help #and no one was asking CR to harm themselves in the name of helping palestine. we only wanted them to spread awareness #bc the comments on their tweet about finally donating were full of mostly white centrist takes not able to see any benefit to donating or #addressing the issue at all. which is EXACTLY why CR should addresss it. bc they can reach so many who dont understand #but theyd been radio silent for almost 5 months. i didnt like that he didnt really apologize. i didnt like that he centered himself #i didnt like his lowkey flippant language either. saying all that.. ridiculousness in regards to a genocide not well worded. #but i dont feel right holding that against him. should he have thought it through better? sure but i get it #& unfortunately his parting message left a bad taste in my mouth - one of positivity & self care & hugging each other #nice important words but it didnt feel like he was talking about ppl who are affected by this conflict. but rather ppl who are watching #it just felt like a very white thing to say in response to this. we are not burdened and easily victimized bc of it #we are responsible. and so we must center palestinians. #if i were him i wldnt have gone in detail about how hard the palestinian genocide is for me to watch. #but thats just me #*CORRECTION: radio silent for almost 4 months

After every (American) election, there's always a bunch of posts going around exposing psyops or pointing out how there were posts on this site designed to get people to not vote blue.

And in the lead up to every (American) election, there's a bunch of posts being reblogged that are clearly either psyops or manipulative posts that tell people it's perfectly okay for them not to vote at all.

Like, there's history going back years on this hellsite where the alt-right intentionally tried to undermine or indoctrinate people so they get/stay in power. History a lot of y'all know of or were even there for and saw go down in real time.

But sure, be uncritical of what you reblog, don't bother looking at the source website, or just put things out there without caveats or nuance.

#i know media literacy is trash these days #and that there's intentional misinformation/no information about elections #but i've seen people who have reblogged things about psyops in the past who both reblog and support current ones #but unlike other social media sites you can reblog a post but then stick nuance in the tags #you can be critical of something while also gritting your teeth and supporting it because the alternative is worse #you can (and should) also be critical of the systems that lead to that in the first place #throwing your hands up and saying there's no point and you aren't going to bother #and it's fine if others do the same #is just giving up and saying it's too hard for you and you don't care about the harm that comes to others #the canadian system is different (though first past the post tries to make it the same) #but you can bet i'd vote for trudeau even though fuck him and his racist ass #if the alternative was pp because while trudeau sucks for many reasons #pp is fucking terrifying to me as a disabled queer person #and i'm lucky in that i'm white and canadian and can pass as cishet so i'd be spared the worst of it #others would not be so lucky #especially when his fans are eager to hate crime people and only hold themselves back because they would face social consequences #also learn what is private criticism you keep to yourself or talk to friends about #and what is okay to talk about publicly #some things you don't fucking say when it will be taken as permission for antipathy or approval by fascists

Moses Ingram, who plays the inquisitor Reva Sevander, aka the third sister in Obi-wan Kenobi, just posted on her Instagram story about the racist, hateful messages she’s been getting in her DMs.

Mind you, we’re only two episodes in.

She doesn’t deserve this. Especially not from the fandom that is supposedly so “welcoming” and “loving.”

But this is the pattern we always see. Over and over again.

They did this with Ahmed Best, John Boyega and Kelly Marie Tran. They keep doing this.

Welcoming is a myth. I’m sick of it. I’m glad she’s exposing this, but Star Wars needs to do better calling this out. This shouldn’t be her responsibility.

They need to protect their actors of color. But it’s sad that I don’t expect them to.

#like the show has been out for 5 days #fans talk down on people who did this to the actors of the prequels yet continue the cycle. #In theory they also did it with Hayden and Ewan but that was years ago without social media. #and they’re white #now everyone loves them #racism in star wars #obi wan kenobi #reva #reva sevander #inquisitor reva #kenobi #moses ingram #ewan mcgregor #third sister #hayden christensen

Dear English doctors - Biological males can’t get pregnant and there is no such thing as a “girl penis”. Please spend less time on worrying about language that appeases narcissistic men and more time improving care for women and babies.

England’s National Health Service (NHS) has put forward a £100,000 contract to create a “gender-inclusive” maternity care training program based on research guided by a trans-identified male who has claimed that men can give birth and that “pre-operative trans women” have “girl penises.”

On December 16, the NHS quietly released an Invitation to Quote for the “Maternity Gender Inclusion Program,” with a listed closing date for pilot submissions set for January 11th, 2023.

The contracted program is set to be rolled out to midwives in maternity departments across 40 NHS Trusts in England, and would be based on the findings of the Improving Trans Experiences of Maternity Services (ITEMS) research project, which was co-authored by a trans-identified male and is alleged to have “significant” flaws in its methodology.

With Woman, a maternity care advocacy coalition, penned an open letter highlighting the “flawed” research within the ITEMS publications, and has called for a complete pause on the contract offering entirely.

Speaking with Reduxx, a spokeswoman from With Woman raised multiple concerns, especially with the entirety of the program’s focus appearing to be on “inclusive” language and not improvements in medical care for a traditionally complex cohort. 

With Woman noted that even the Invitation to Quote appears fixed, with the very short contracting and funding window raising suspicion. With Woman indicated their belief that there may be organizations already lined up to take the contract as the time frames are too brief for uninvolved organizations to adequately prepare a pilot.

The ITEMS report, which is being used as a justification for the need for the program, based its findings on the responses of just 121 people. The report determined that “birthing people” were improperly cared for because they were “misgendered,” and made unsubstantiated claims that 30% of “trans parents” secretly gave birth at home with no medical intervention.

The report was co-authored by Dr. Ruth Pearce, a trans-identified male Lecturer in Community Development at Glasgow University.

Pearce played a significant role in the direction of the ITEMS research. Pearce’s work focuses on “trans pregnancy” and “Queer, Trans and Feminist music scenes.” 

In an essay posted on to his website, Pearce asserts that he is more attractive and confident than biological women.

“Quite frankly, I bet a whole load of women would love to be as confident and good looking as I am. I’ve got a pretty face, great hair, fantastic legs, and I’ve recently grown some rather shapely breasts.” He is also known for having once fronted a “queer feminist rage” music group through which he sang a song about his scrotum.

In an August 2022 video titled “Reproductive Justice for Trans People With Ruth Pearce and Francis White,” Pearce explains the focus of his work on ITEMS, policy and language surrounding “trans birth” and the need to highlight transgender people having children to counter the claims that a “trans child” may not reproduce, and to create media that contradicts Abigail Shrier’s claims that child transition can lead to “irreversible damage” of fertility. 

Pearce called attention in particular to a phenomenon known as Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria, which was coined by Lisa Littman and referenced by Jungian analyst and author Lisa Marchiano in a 2017 academic article titled “Outbreak: On Transgender Teens and Psychic Epidemics.” 

In the article, Marchiano examines the role of social media in the sudden rise in teens claiming a gender identity, stating: “a young person’s coming out as transgender is often preceded by increased social media use and/or having one or more peers also come out as transgender.”

Pearce mocked the concept of children learning of transgender identities on social media, but later contradicted himself by discussing the issue in the presentation segment titled “We Are the Virus: Reproduction via Social Contagion.” 

In the segment, Pearce asserted the need to help transgender-identifying people to not only sexually reproduce, but also to “socially reproduce” by means of altering medical language and policy to introduce the idea of transition to children and adults as a form of “reproductive justice,” thereby creating more transgender people.

In the video, Pearce acknowledged that social contagion is the method by which transgenderism proliferates, stating: “Alexis Davin noted that the very process that Lisa Marchiano and Abigail Shrier described as a social contagion is the means by which trans people engage in a form of social reproduction. We become visible to one another and introduce one another to a language that makes sense of our lives and our needs.”

Later in the seminar he continued, “I’ve been thinking a lot about social contagion because it’s the language of the anti-trans movement. But… the exact thing they’re describing is the exact means by which we reproduce ourselves.”

During the seminar, Pearce described the work he did with Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals (BSUH) NHS Trust, arguing for the need for “Gender Inclusive Language” to create “Language as Possibility” and posters that act as apparent recruitment advertising for the political transgender movement. Pearce elaborated by saying, “in Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals, that’s a really interesting example of queer spaces of care being created through an institution rather than through more radical networks.”

Pearce’s involvement with the ITEMS research, as well as its use to justify an NHS maternity program, comes less than one year after NHS negligence was found to have been responsible for the needless deaths of over 200 babies and 9 mothers at at Shrewsbury and Telford NHS Trust. According to internal investigations, “repeated failures in the quality of care and governance” was to blame for the deaths, which spanned over 2 decades, with an additional 1,486 families and 1,592 incidents being recorded as a result of inadequate maternity care oversight.

Reduxx has previously revealed how errors and confusion arose due to the use of inaccurate medical language which led to midwifery students at Napier University in Edinburgh being taught how to care for males giving birth through penises and prostates. 

According to a course workbook, students were advised: “It is important to note that while most times the birthing person will have female genitalia, you may be caring for a pregnant or birthing person who is transitioning from male to female and may still have external male genitalia.”

a daily reminder that tumblr isn’t any different than other social media platforms, it’s just rebranded with white fandom quirkiness.

#i literally roll my eyes at ever tumblr is so much different than twitter and tik Tok posts #like maybe because i am black #so navigating social media platforms is much different than my white peers #but like tumblr is just like any other social media platform #especially given that they have an option for people to send anonymous vile hate #and it isn’t even a proper way for you to report the hate and KNOW that the person who sent it have some form of consequence against them

[the-annoying-mom-friend]

to begin this I'm not trying to be a hater and I'm especially not trying to be a hater of the queer media that we have been getting this summer/will be getting this fall because it is really important BUT it'd be great if the queer media we always talk about would more often be about sapphics

#good omens #rwrb #heartstopper #ofmd #see once again i'm not hating! i love all of those or i think they are kinda cool if i havent seen them #but often they are about beautiful thin (mostly) young (mostly) white men #rich men #or heavily masculine-presenting people anyways #and i know it is greatly marketable to many younger fan(girl)s who feel #more comfortable in their sexualities if they can disassociate from the characters by at least their gender #and it is hard being a teenage girl and comfortable about your body and sexuality and mind and yourself whatsoever which i understand but #but sapphics deserve to be featured in media! they deserve to be seen and loved! #and not just as funny unimportant side characters with no distinctive personalities but as compelling and layered and fleshed out main chara #cters #and also i am focusing on like women/sapphics in this post but #we must be more diverse in the sense of gender race body types neurodivergency disability social status etc etc #and yall know thered be a huge fucking audience to love and support such books/movies/tv shows #lgbtq+ #queer media
