If there are three things I want to impress on everybody who reads anything I write they are:
* It's about power
* Don't take fascists at face value
* I am literally just some dickhead

Scary Corpse @damselindystopia.bsky.social · Apr 11

I cannot empahsise this enough; I am just some dickhead. If you have experience living in the world as a trans person and a baseline level of intellectual curiosity about the world you have the same qualifications to do this stuff I do.

I mean I'm not saying portraying as bitchy, pretentious perverts is necessarily always innaccurate, but...

🚨This is an emergency🚨

This Government is currently sitting on an EHRC Code of Practice that will lead to the segregation and exclusion of trans people in public life.

Why do these thjngs always end in a "disco" anyway? Last time I attended anything called that I ended the night slow dancing to Angels by Robbie Williams.

You attacked women at the Filia disco. For clicks and likes and attention. Which had been your plan all along.

You were the aggressor. And as a result you have been banned. You are a poisonous saboteur, and should never be allowed at any feminist event again.

Fights broke out at Filia disco when a load of women took Palestinian flags and scarves on to the stage. JCJ got brave enough to grab my phone then hid behind security. Thanks to DJ Lippy for helping me remove that nonsense

Yeah it's a weird one cos it kind of consigns trans people to the world of ridiculous art weirdo stuff but I guess it treats Vulva as an actual person at least?

We are honestly not that far out from "Trans women exist, which is funny, and it's even more funny to do violence to them" being standard mainstream TV comedy stuff.

Berry didn't refuse to shoot that disgusting IT Crowd bit where the whole joke was his character beating a trans woman. Why should he refuse this job?

They don't really care about trans people and like money and fame. I don't see the big mystery tbh.

What are your theories as to why nominally 'liberal' people like Simon Pegg and Matt Berry are willing to work with Rowling?

It does feel like this would be fundamentally unsurprising information.

Women are pretty cool, yes. Big fan.

Scary Corpse @damselindystopia.bsky.social · 19h

Like if you're mad at a woman and the first place you go is to start ranting about how she's tricking people into agreeing with her using her feminine wiles or whatever I'm just gonna assume you hate women tbh.

People mistaking follow counts for real world power are always seconds away from revealing that they're actually mad that women talk back to them online.

This guy rocks (derogatory). You’re apparently a “thirst trap white woman” and were just all simps for thinking he’s a dumbass.

As much disdain as I have for Large Accounts that do a bunch of venting on main like they're smol beans, I have a ton more for the army of followers who swarm people like "they're a human being, don't police their expression of emotions!" This is the same as simping for favor from the rich.

Just because you're simping for a leftist conventionally attractive thirst trap white woman doesn't make you any different from the people who spend all day doing the same on X for Elon Musk.

Men like Piers Morgan have found women in trans women who it is socially acceptable to abuse.

Every time they do this stuff they are telling you how they'd treat cis women if they could get away with it.

Now me, I'm consistent. I think judges are scum, no matter how they rule. Sometimes their rulings coincide with things that are morally good, but I will never pretend a court ruling is the last word in a political or ethical question.

Scary Corpse @damselindystopia.bsky.social · 2d

Don't believe me? See the Mail's "Enemies of the people" front page. See Kier Starmer decrying rulings that refugees shouldn't be deported to Gaza.

The status of FWS vs Scottish Government in media discourse is so interesting because so many people are suddenly pretending to believe that a court ruling determines reality. If the case had gone the other way they'd be screeching about woke judges.

1/🧵 As a trans lawyer, I say that @zackpolanski.bsky.social gave the legally and politically perfect answer.

“Of course they’re wrong. Their job is to look at what has been legislated for. The legislation is wrong and we should get back to parliamentarians who actually stand by trans people.”

Really my point is that a lot of people fundamentally misunderstand both militant antifascism as a movement and the concept of movements writ large and that's worrying during a massive resurgence of fascism in the imperial core.

Scary Corpse @damselindystopia.bsky.social · 2d

By "interesting" here I mean "mildly annoying", ofc.

I find it interesting that this attracted replies that assumed I was taking aim solely at journos taking the Trump regime line here when the main misconceptions I was addressing were "antifa isn't real" and "allied soldiers during WWII were antifa."

Scary Corpse @damselindystopia.bsky.social · 2d

Normie journalists trying to describe antifa hit the very specific barrier that they don't really understand radical left politics and stumble over very simple concepts like "a movement, not an organisation."
