they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds.
Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.

The BBC claims to have “research” that supports its decision to use abusive transphobic terms for trans women.
But it will not share that “research”.
At the most basic level research is not research if it is not published.
It is just a lie. The BBC is lying.

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes.
Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

So the transphobia here is obvious but also I fucking hate how normal it is to just be casually cruel to kids for the sake of it. As if you're proving how tough and cool you are by bullying a literal child who, reasonably, expects you to care for them and treat them with dignity.
Yes, Hazel,
nonbinary people are real, and one day, your child will hate you for lying to them.

The similarities between how medical professionals treat autistic woman and how they treat trans women are remarkable. A lot of which seems to stem from being attached to certain narratives about what we "should" be like and refusing to trust our testimony.
This one’s doing the rounds again. Hilariously all the Medium comments don’t believe me either
Diagnosed but not believed: Autistic women and the medical gaze
A GP I met for the first time three minutes ago is glancing over my electronic health record, trying to match it with the woman before him…

Also,yeah at the root of these orientalist framings of non-western societies lies the longing for some idealized past state of being, that people can return to. I think Talia also thematised this in another essay, but we should stop looking to an imagined past, but to a new future that can be build.

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Reflecting once again that my Dad flatly refused to believe that doctors could be unhelpful because, surely, if they didn't just give me what I want I can say "You're being transphobic" and then they get fired.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

As someone who studied philosophy, its because a lot of mediocre philosophers are obsessed with 'Definitions', using words to explain what words mean. I've often said that philosophy is the discipline of filling out a self-referential dictionary.

This thread fully explains why all the people who've been tracing anti trans movements for years are kinda insane now. It's been big. It's been widespread. It has not been subtle. And no one fucking listened to us. Possibly the most successful conservative retrenchment since WWII.
Yeah for people not up to date on the back story, the conservative war on "Gender Ideology" actually started as a response to Gender Theory, and specifically the impact of Judith Butler's "Gender Trouble" at the United Nations summit for women in 1995.
This is more directly about trans people but "gender ideology" has always kind of meant "the abominal idea that men and women can be equal"

That's not to say that the people involved are anarchists- I assume there are some, but they're doubtless the minority position ideologically. But regardless of their personal positions, for now they seem to be enacting something very like anarchism in practice.

One of the amazing things about anarchism is that people inevitably keep making their way to anarchic methods and structures whenever they look for something which works, and these methods and structures keep working reliably every single time.
It's genuinely a leaderless (or leaderful) movement, decentralized in a way that the state is absolutely unequipped to handle. There are a few basic skills involved, and so people teach each other those skills, and people are collectively refining them.

fwiw this is the kind of stuff that is going to get us through, not playing rambo
Minneapolis and Saint Paul have basically mobilized into a war economy of mutual aid and non-violent defense. I’ve never seen anything like it, even during Covid. People who barely vote are guarding their schools from ICE and doing the shopping for neighbors in hiding.
This is so smart. I’m so impressed with all the different ways you’re helping your neighbors.
