Just a bendy intersex/trans possum attempting to be a hoopy frood. ✡️ e/em/eir Check out pronoun labeler. @pronouns.diy Please stop pretending to know my 'deal', especially the whining about how you think I'm zionist/AFAB without any evidence.

I've been discussing this for a while, but I'm in some absurd amount of debt and need help. I've exhausted many of my options to manage this, and I don't expect people to take care of all of my problems, but I'm opening up a GFM. Help a broke trans/intersex person get stable & safe? #transcrowdfund

Yeah before the pandemic, I used to live on like a thousand a month. Times have changed but I had a better quality of life back then.

I am sick of how some people who are objectively supporting exploitation such as CSA will blame everyone but themselves, such as Christian supremacists doing a blood libel against basically everyone else.

he hasn't stopped calling~ have you? 🫵

how to call: stop-paypros.neocities.org

info and resources on pay discrimination: cartoonist.coop/censorship-p...

drawing of a man laying on bed with an old school phone in hand. he has a speech bubble that says "I'm so confused~ is what i'm buying illegal?" the text on the page says "keep calling and writing until payment processor censorship is reversed. one call a day makes a difference! mastercard and visa's statements aren't good enough. let's keep up the pressure together!"

When I was in high school, I posted definitions of the word "Fascism" on our community boards. A particular English teacher who was universally-reviled ran around tearing them down and screaming "look at what he's done!" It's funny how just defining terms can be like a kitchen light for the roaches.

Good luck getting the camper home. But didn't you already havea house on that land?

I'm pretty frustrated at how my family goes "what are you referencing?" when I write something. It's like some people don't trust me to have an original thought just because I don't seem very enthusiastic.

Most of the companies that pull this shit aren't even training people in anything transferrable, just "our special sucky process". It's not like they paid for your CompTIA cerfitification. It's explicitly an abuse tactic and the expenses are usually completely fabricated.

A "What if" on my budget if I wasn't in debt, taking off a thing in order not counting my currently inactive federal student loans(because I'm taking classes at community college). Not that this is realistic in any short time period, but each one taken out makes the others easier to take care of.

A budget with a line item removed every month, going from $2501 down to $1100

once again, trans people and allies are either a powerful voting block you need to win over, or the votes are not there for the issue to be important enough.

telling trans people and allies that their right to exist is a “purity test” is a pure shitty test

A lot of people don't realize just how much money both the US and UK were funneling to Hitler before he took power including people with direct connections to Cecil Rhodes. Rhodes scholars of course have been incredibly influential in the politics that got us back to this point.

In other cases there were things like when Chabad had schisms over zionism and the antizionist one always had a lot more trouble including police harassment. Or that professor who would hold land acknowledgements but would call the police on BIPOC professors and students.

I wasn't going to go that far, but they certainly were assholes to my intersex ass despite my attempts to transition. Nothing quite like getting called a brick in front of everyone only for absolutely nobody to say "dick move".

Basically the only campus-funded "rainbow group" became very white and very sanitized cisgay and truscum while everything else was a lot more spread out and informal.

This wasn't the only time the campus took sides with schisms either.

Anyway they basically kicked out a ton of people including intersex people from what was originally a "general" group, then went after niche groups that formed in response, claiming they were discriminatory when they weren't so they couldn't get campus resources such as room rentals.

I am resurrecting this point because yes it pisses me the fuck off

When I came out, the first trans peer support group ever at my college had been founded and was being run by an indigenous enby

what happened? Two truscum in the group attempted to recruit me into carrying out a coup against them

"the transgender community has been colonized by cissexual nonbinaries"

Jesus fuck what

the concept of being transgender has largely been colonized by cissexual nonbinary people. the concept of polyamory has largely been colonized by swingers. is there anything you people won't take over and make about yourselves.

My school's "rainbow group" had similar issues combined with "well what did you do to anger the fascist?" when I warned of violent attacks on campus against BIPOC/Jewish people.

yesterday on twitter, some of the biggest far right doxxing users were suspended and then elon musk caught wind, and reinstated them. get everyone you can off twitter. it is firmly a pro-doxxing-if-you’re-far-right platform
