Ill Happily Break My Fingers Reblogging This

I’ll happily break my fingers reblogging this 🫶

Begging people to understand that homophobia doesn't mean "being mean to gay people because they're gay", misogyny doesn't mean "being mean to women because they're women," and transphobia doesn't mean "being mean to trans people because they're trans."

These are all intertwined systems of oppressive social control.

The whole THING is that gender policing of all types is used to keep people in line to make them act "normal" (to act as their gender should).

When a young boy doesn't want to play football and his brothers do, and they call him a sissy, they are being homophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic. Even if he is straight and cisgender.

If a cishet woman is derisively asked "what are you, a lesbian?" For having short hair, she has experienced homophobia, transphobia, and misogyny.

One of the reasons it's so necessary to discuss them is because they are systems of control. The words aren't just describing types of hate crimes etc perpetrated against certain groups of people, it describes the violent aspects of cisnormativity, heteronormativity, and the patriarchy.

This post was made bc im mad about ppl being like "how would a person not lgbtq experience homophobia" (something I literally just saw) and "trans men can't experience misogyny and especially not transmisogyny" and "I'm a wholeass lesbian I can't be homophobic" (both sentiments I've seen multiple times before almost word for word). Those are just a few examples of the stuff I've seen said online from people who unfortunately don't understand how systems of oppression work to keep everyone in line.

Transphobia, homophobia, and misogyny are all inseparably intertwined because they come from the same place and have the same purpose.

I need this on a bumper sticker ❤️‍🩹

ironically the accumulated stress of trying to manage being disabled without adequate support (whatever that looks like for you) tends for things to become more disabling

Is that your name or did someone give it to you?

Him: You’re so sexy babe, setting the mood with all of these candles ❤️‍🔥

Me: First of all, this is a seance ☠️

I can do just about anything as long as my entire future is on the line. 🫣🤸🌅

I will be celebrating this milestone with gratitude and badass dancing 🥳🫶💃
