marshmallowmegamama:
and it’s my personal opinion that “judging somebody by their skin color (or sexuality, gender, etc)” is…shitty, but whatever. WHO CARES. if you look at me and see a breeding animal or a invading cockroach? I don’t really all that much give a shit.
what I *DO* give a shit about is you USING THAT JUDGEMENT TO DENY ME RESOURCES, LIFE, SAFETY, AND/OR HAPPINESS.

Anon question involving anti-trans violence and radfem violence below.
Anonymous asked: Honest question, how is roseverbana being murderous by saying very specifically that you avoid going into prison by not murdering anyone? She never said that she hoped that they would get murdered or that she was rooting that they get murdered, she was making a (rather erroneous) assumption about the (very real) violent nature of prisons and how transwomen can be specifically targeted unless given...

We’ve been seeing all these fucked up reports about how “The Black Community” has always been against LGBT rights because most of Black people are religious, and religion said so, and thus we are the reason why LGBT legislation hasn’t been passing.
Where’s the massive “Racism and the LGBT community” editorials from the Advocate? Out Magazine? Curve?...

Memorial Day.
stfuconfederates:
Mine was spent on the mountain with no phone service. I have spent the greater part of my life surviving by moving seamlessly between groups of people who are, by and large, awful. People who will sit friendly over my gun collection, but would gauge shooting me over queerness. Here is the story of a Memorial Day party on the mountain, and a tale of the world that we live in.

Ok, guys. I’m sorry, but I really have to get this off my chest.

So somehow I just discovered in the last two months that Diane DiMassa is apparently part of the ranks of the biologically essentialist lesbian feminists. It shouldn’t be surprising, and yet again its one of those “commonly known” things that I am somehow just finding out about.
In retrospect its not terribly surprising, when rereading the comic, but it is still upsetting.
