Building a Brighter future.

Hey I’m Charlotte I’m a disabled 20 yo trans woman trying to make ends meet. I make functionally 5 dollars an hour doing door dash and work a 50 hour week. Anything you can donate would go a long way. PayPal links below.

many people on tumblr seem to think genderclass behaves on the level of mystical declaration, like religious faith, which only functions from the moment of internal ritual wherein someone states their unchanging true transcendent metaphysical internal gender, at which point their past experiences are retroactively transfigured into the gender they are.

gender is about power.

Capitalism needs unemployment to function. it's not a mistake.

unemployment drives labor prices down through competition, and lets Capitalists set the price as the buyer of labor. when someone is guaranteed to die, you will do anything for it to not be you.

this one part of is how capitalism ruins people, and exploits labor for profit.

People always have a lot to say about caregiver fatigue, but no one gives a shit about the shame of being taken care of. I think it's even heavier than caregiving. As a caregiver, you can always take a break. But when you're on the other side, the shame never ends.

God yeah I'm like, disabled enough I might never be financially independent or able to hold a job but not really so much that I need active home care, and even just that makes me constantly worry that I'm a burden to the people who love me enough to support me economically, that everything I ask for makes them like me a little less, or five years from now when we're under the same roof they'll get sick of me and secretly come to see me as an obligation they're honor bound to shoulder through the resentment - and no matter how many times they tell me otherwise it's so hard not to believe because that's how my parents have treated me for as long as I've been failing to meet "proper" development milestones.

And this is all like, with the ability to consistently care for my hygeine, make myself meals, book appointments, drive - everything but the ability to make enough money to live on my own, just lacking that is enough to give me a crippling fear of being a leech that makes me break down crying in fear whenever I ask 'too much' of the people who love me. I can't imagine how bad the psychological effects of needing 24/7 care every single day for the rest of your life are, on top of the disability itself. Disabled people don't deserve this.

i just am immediately repulsed by a series of cutesy comics where a clearly transfemme character is being called a moid and its supposed to be this cute relationship like Shen i dont think yk what the fuck you are talking about.

and ofc his audience is just eating it up like its the most genderwoke shit ever

You just have to wonder if Shen talked to a SINGLE trans woman about any of this shit. like he obviously knows what the term 'moid' means but doesn't know enough to know that putting the word in the mouth of a TWERF character is actually just, well that's literally a very real, very hateful group of people that work to get trans women killed so sorry. I don't find a cute little comic about one of them very fun or funny.

This is what happens when a person is subjected to an onslaught of transmisogyny-exempt people going on about "GNC men bein heckin valid!" like I don't blame shen as much as I blame his audience for constantly shouting down any and all trans women perspectives on his comics.

but I also know that shen is a grown ass adult and my patience wears thin like, you can't be out here drawing cutesy twerfs and 'femboys' dude like what the fuck.

they should make it easier to get bottom surgery

special mention to how the BMI requirements are horrific and they need to go!

I've been thinking a lot lately about how many trans women I've known who come to realize over time that they experience much more bottom dysphoria than they've consciously understood

I think this is partially a problem of trans women being fetishized, a trans woman's value being equated with her penis, but I think it's also partially a problem of availability. personally if something is difficult to attain then I have an internal reflex to unconsciously convince myself I don't want or need it. for this reason and many others it needs to be made easier

personally it's fucking crazy going through life not even being able to be naked around trusted loved ones or fully have sex because the dysphoria is so bad. it's unacceptable that so many of us have to live like this. it's horrible that for many trans women it's almost impossible to get the care we need. it does not have to be like this

GOD. YEAH. YUPPPP

You cannot express "concern" about the "division" of the """trans community""" if you are not seriously prepared to reckon with its many internal contradictions and how those especially marginalize certain individuals. If your "trans unity" doesn't mean rooting out misogyny, antiblackness, ableism, etc., what you are really constructing is a social order in which the most marginalized serve as footsoldiers for the interests of the relatively privileged. Shared identity labels do not automatically equal community, and it certainly does not make you entitled to labor from people more marginalized than you. The refusal to acknowledge this is why the trans """community""" is full of transmisogynists, terfs, and white supremacists.

Be ready to show solidarity or shut the fuck up

fascinating how often men expect women to sympathize with their fears of being perceived as or treated like a woman

so much "masculinity" is constructed around the certainty that being gay or being a woman is inherently demeaning. and we're supposed to nod along supportively

"male loneliness crisis" ok so like.....what would happen if you started acting like a better friend to other men in your life? what's stopping you? is it the fear of being perceived as one of your inferiors?

"men aren't allowed to show emotions" ok so like…..what would happen if you started being more emotionally expressive? what's stopping you? is it the fear of being perceived as one of your inferiors?

seeing the "responses" to my (and many other transfems') takes on femboys feels like we're talking past each other. my issue has never been with individual transfems reclaiming the word for themselves and i feel i've been pretty clear about that.

i really think it should be obvious if you think on it for more than a second that "transfeminized sex object who is, for all intents and purposes, a trans woman who you can misgender and who will misgender herself for your pleasure" is a transmisogynistic concept that a lot of tmes are desperate to cling to the "validity" of because it lets them get away with disrespecting trans women.

if some transfems find comfort or joy in reclaiming this for themselves that's their prerogative but you have to be honest with yourselves about what the Femboy as a cultural phenomenon is and what it means in a transmisogynistic society, what it does to transfems. jumping to the defense of gnc boys the moment trans women express discomfort at the transmisogyny on display is frankly disgraceful.

oh and some of you really need to step outside of your bubble and realize that "feminine men are being pressured to transition" is not only laughably untrue but also literally a transmisogynistic fearmongering talking point. come on y'all you sound like fox news

i think we should always take predominant sexes and races for psychiatric disabilities into question.

are men really more likely to be antisocial or narcissistic, or are women just overlooked because ASPD/NPD are seen as too "aggressive" for them?

are women really more likely to be borderline or histrionic, or are they just seen as so "hysterical" that they have to be feminine?

are black people more likely to have schizophrenia or ODD, or are labels of "psychosis" and "defiance" simply used to further dismiss, oppress, and imprison BIPOC?

are white people more likely to have autism and ADHD, or are doctors just more willing to accept that white children are disabled and not just "bad?"

oppressive biases are everywhere in psychiatry. never take psychiatric demographics at face value.

bring back the term voyeurism! if you're on the cuck chair and having a good time and not trying to join in, that's voyeurism! you like to watch your partners having sex? voyeurism! you want to run commentary and coach? voyeurism! you want to heckle and boo? voyeurism!

tma/tme are not arbitrary. one can choose not to participate in discussions on transmisogyny, but one shouldn't be surprised to be asked what one's relationship to transmisogyny is if one tries to enter into discussions on transmisogyny.

“i’m just so subby i can’t say no even when i really don’t want it” you are an unsafe play partner.

recipe for disaster (from the revolution starts at home)

reblogging this a second time bc i think it’s really valuable to look at what abuse in kink CAN look like instead of just discussing what it DOESNT look like. I wanna talk about this more but frankly, this isn’t where my experience lies. if anyone has posts on the topic i’d love to read them.

no inch nails: i dont want to fuck you like anything

The British Press killed an autistic black man over plagiarism.

Like there aren't academics that are placed in these learning institutions as a cog in propaganda machines to justify colonialism, give credence to eugenics, deny western backed genocides. Like there aren't abusers and rapists and murderers in academia and you don't see any of them dragged and abused in the public eye.

Infact, one of the leaders of this witch hunt against Jason Ardy is Nathan Cofnas who wrote about how black people aren't smart enough to succeed on their own.

This is the zionist piece of shit and "race realist" that led the hate campaign against Jason Ardy. He believes in that whites and Jews are superior. This is the type of people that got scot free while black people are hunted down over the smallest things that their white counterparts would never be scrutinised for

Fun fact: there are a lot of medical professionals from the DPRK working in Libya, particularly in vulnerable areas with weak infrastructure. The UN is sanctioning them with the intention of repatriating them. Doctors and nurses, people saving lives
