Fellow trans butches, fems, mascs, enbies, and closeted folks, repeat after me—

"My transness doesn't need to be earned. Transness is an identity, not a status. My trans journey is my own to define. So mind your own fucking business, you sexist, transphobic cretins."

Luis @loosf.bsky.social · 2d

A lot of them do actively dislike the idea of personal autonomy.

No, you are not who you say you are, you need to Earn It.
You need to get Their Approval because identity needs to be externally defined or some shit

But you see, if they minded their own business they would not be able to claim authority over others

the clearest sign of a looming recession

"but do you really NEED coffee?"

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 1d

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

The Verge @theverge.com · 5h

For many trans people, internet anonymity is only a temporary way station between the closet and living full time in their desired gender. What happens when that privacy is gone?

It's a fairly outdated term. Effectively it's synonymous with cisgender, or cis

There's transmedicalist assholes in this platform who basically are asserting a hierarchy of transness, calling people who are not medically transitioning that, particularly non-binary people.

"not trans enough"

So much of that bullshit ends up like

"I don't consent to your identity, I don't consent to your presentation, you are instead what I say you are"

And asserting that some are "doing gender wrong"
And by "doing it wrong", causing harm.

It's fucking bonkers.

Luis @loosf.bsky.social · 3d

continuing to block and or mute anyone I see using "cissexual" to refer to others, particularly to other trans people

shit fucking sucks.

Control and authority over inclusion into queer spaces like that is insidious.
Demanding performance and presentation and only really including certain types

Being very, very rough against dissenters
Hell, being outright hostile to queer people who don't fit in their mold

Fucking sucks

Geee how come that's also the weapon wielded by transmeds and exclusionary assholes

Denial of community if you don't submit and defer to them

Assholes here got mad because that didn't work on @nerdskull.bsky.social
Because of *being in other clusters here*

Trying to control gender expression

I think I’ve got it

The means of control for patriarchy is SOCIAL ISOLATION

Those who can best isolate other people get to define what is and isn’t sexually appropriate

a lot of tech bosses seem to be allergic to two basic things their workers axiomatically accept

1) a woman can say no

2) a man can transition into a woman
