And I see this nigga with an ankh has nothing to say about the 60% sexual assault rate that is enacted upon Black women and children by CIS HETEROSEXUAL BLACK MEN.

But it's all the 'perverted homosexuals, perveted transgenders, and the independent black woman's fault'

I bet this nigga believes every fuckin word of the Moynihan report

Gloria Steinem is a Transmisogynist

[serious trigger warning: very cissexist and transmisogynistic language]

In Gloria Steinem's Outrageous Acts and Everyday Rebellions (1995),there's a brief five page essay on trans identities (224-228). It's basically terrible. Let me quote a few parts:

Was it fair for women to face someone trained physically and culturally for forty years as a man? (226)

She argues that it's a kind of "mutilation" and appeal to a gender binary:

In other words, transsexuals are paying an extreme tribute to the power of sex roles. In order to set their real human personalities free, they surgically mutilate their own bodies… (227)

She even goes as far as to suggest that valuable resources are being wasted on trans folk, in this weird, backwards way as if we are poor little victims:

Instead of serving more lifesaving but often less lucrative needs for their surgical and hormone-therapy skills, some physicians are aiding individuals who are desperately trying to conform to an unjust society. It's a small group of successful physicians she [Janice Raymond] names 'the transsexual empire'.

She cites Janice Raymond'sThe Transsexual Empire (1979) several times in this essay. 

She has apparently denied this charge of cissexism before, as recently as 2008, but it's right here in this book, without apology, and it is still getting printed and published today.

Just a warning for people who think the 3rd wave has gotten better…some of those (very powerful) people are still around today saying the same ol' bullshit.

I'm going to repeat the date: This was from 1995.

This was not from the '70s.

And a lot of feminists don't care that Steinem absolutely hated trans women and wanted to morally mandate us out of existence and instead still think her and organizations that affiliate with her are OK, even if they claim to be on our side.

but SHE’S a REAL feminist. right.

yiheyuans:

wow b/c the idea of black women not being ~intelligent and ~thoughtful is so progressive right

IS MAKING SURE THE PEOPLE KNOW THE UPPITY NEGRESS DOESN'T MIX WITH THE LIKES OF US ****REAL****, DON'T WORRY WHITE MEN WHEN YOU LET US HAVE SOME OF Y'ALLS POWER WE WON'T LET THEM IN THE CLUB HAR HAR WINK WINK

I HOPE EVERYTHING THE OWNER OF THIS TUMBLR LOVES CRUMBLES INTO DUST. I HOPE EVERYTHING THEY EVER TRY TO ACCOMPLISH IN THEIR LIFE TURNS TO SHIT.

AND I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR FEMINISM TO FINALLY BITE THE DUST

CAUSE IF THIS IS WHAT FEMINISM IS, FUCK IT

I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO DIE AND I LAUGH AT ITS HURT FEELINGS AND FAILURES

its a really commonly held opinion that killing trans women is justified.  because, you know, we're trans.  people feel comfortable voicing this shit in public.  this is why 'surprise its a man in a dress' is not a funny joke.

http://www.glaad.org/blog/radio-hosts-lex-and-terry-apologize-trans-murder-comment

The Lex and Terry show began discussing this issue saying, "There's a teen that shot a tranny after finding out that it was a man after they had a little sexual encounter." A co-host responded, "I don't blame him. I would have shot his ass too."

And this shit right here is why the fuck I am not here at ALL for cis women on that anti-trans BULLSHIT.

Lets be real here though. The trans women who are being killed most often are black and Latin@. We are the ones who experience the most serious of anti-trans violence. And I think its important to be explicit about that shit because too often white trans women and trans guys are citing the statistics of our murders to further whatever assimilationist/reformist bullshit they are trying to get, like hate crimes laws etc. 

I'm not here for white trans folks claiming my sister's deaths.

"

Night presses the gunmetal O of its open mouth
against my own & I can't help how I answer.

He is the taste of smoke, mesquite-laced tip
of the tongue. Silhouetted, a body always

pulling away, but shirt collar in my fists,
I pull him back. Need another double-black

kiss. I've got more hunger than my body can hold.
Bloated with want, I'm the man who waits

for the moon to drown before I let the lake
grab my ankles & take me into its muddy mouth.

They say a city is at the bottom of all that water.
Oh, marauder. Make me a drink. I'm on my way
