timeimmemorial:
It is because women’s bodies, through their use, consumption, and circulation provide for the condition making social life and culture possible, although they remain an unknown “infrastructure” of the elaboration of that social life and culture; the exploitation of the matter that has been sexualized female is so integral a part of our sociocultural horizon that there is no way...

With the progressive accentuation of the co-operative character of the labour process, there necessarily occurs a progressive extension of the concept of productive labour, and of the concept of the bearer of that labour, the productive worker. In order to work productively, it is no longer necessary for the individual herself to put her hand to the object; it is sufficient for her to be an...

transsupremacy:
Mutual Aid is a theory of co-operation that says that when one person helps another, both people benefit.
-NOT-
a theory that says when one person helps another, the person who received help is obligated to help the other person sometime later (or right now).
this would more accurately be called ‘quid pro quo,’ meaning ‘something for something else.’ or exchange relations.

trans woman sociology experiment:
blackenedbutterfly:
a post-op trans woman who is androgynous to pass as anything she wants, does the following:
presents as femme/andro
presents as butch/andro
claims to be DMAB trans*
claims to be DFAB trans*
and, combine all 4 for a total of 4 options.
she goes to clubs multiple times as one set and the following happens:
when presenting as femme, she is picked up less often

Collection time.
There’s been a lot of blogging lately on the subject of transmasculine male privilege, and many trans* guys firing back, “But I don’t pass IRL, so I don’t experience male privilege and am therefore exempt from your criticism!”
Let me lay out as simply as I can why that’s complete bullshit, coming from a trans* guy who also...

freedominwickedness:
Yes, seriously. In fact, he prefiled this bill during the winter recess so that it would be the very first thing on this year’s calendar for the Georgia state legislature: House Bill 1.
House Bill 1 declares the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade null and void on the basis of states’ rights, and creates a new felony crime of “prenatal murder”. “Prenatal murder” is...

As a fixed water sign, Scorpio is like a very deep, dark, still well. The phrase ‘still water runs deep’ is particularly appropriate here, because although the surface of the water may be calm, there is always a strong sense of the mysterious and unknown and often frightening depths lying below the surface. At the bottom of the well lies rotten, decayed and decaying detritus which...

Five False Types of "Mutual Abuse" [Trigger...
queasyfemmeproblems:
A lot of talk about “mutual abuse” has been flying around my dash recently to describe relationships where “both parties fucked up.” And I’m uncomfortable with it.
You guys, I have seen first-hand a good number of relationships described as “mutually abusive” by victims, bystanders, and (most especially) perpetrators. But I have never seen first-hand a relationship that...

Well, that is the crutch of the problem. Trans men (especially white college educated trans men) are codified as being pure brilliant radikewl crusaders. Nothing they do or say can possibly be wrong.

probably my most unpopular opinion is that I just don’t care whether men learn to cry or whatever. like, at all. not even if I like them, really.

That is, emotions work as a form of capital: affect does not reside positively in the sign or commodity, but is produced as an effect of its circulation. I am using ‘the...
