TLDR: Read the post, :LIB:.
So what does this mean, TCFunnySexNumber?
Good question. It means I'm staying.
You must be filled with rage still?
I'm still fucking tilted that things have reached the point they have and if y'all think I'm going to be any less brutal than I have been, y'all have another thing coming. If anything I've realized violently dunking is the only way to instill a sense of solidarity in you shitlibs.
Hooboy so where do we go from here?
The site has so much potential but it literally can't go on the way it has been and not become a pretty, vaporwave Cumtown. So sit down, buckle your fuckles, and let me break down a few of the changes necessary for this shit to be welcoming.
-
🚨 SHUT THE FUCK UP. 🚨 Listen to your marginalized comrades when they speak of their struggles. Stop talking over us and open your fucking ears, you damn liberals. Cut the debatebro shit, educate yourselves on our issues, and ask questions instead of opening your dirty shitlib mouths to give your unwanted, reactionary opinions on our rights to exist. If you see someone being a debatebro about minority rights, just fucking snitch and dunk on them. Smash the report button.
-
Site team will be expanded to include more marginalized comrades. This isn't me calling for more female or POC drone strike operators. This is me elevating the voices of comrades who you shitlibs don't listen to normally so they can dunk you into solidarity with their struggles too.
-
Downvotes - they aren't coming back. If I have to explain why, then you're either new or haven't been listening. See point #1. We'll be updating the site's design to remove all downvote buttons Sometime Soomn TM. To all the wreckers who built downvote botnets: get fucked.
-
Rebr0ist-TCSexNumberist thought will be upheld and refined.
-
Other shit that's still in the pipelines to help you libs educate yourselves and get involved. Official announcements to come, don't shit your diapers too hard just yet.
So what are your closing thoughts having decided to stick around?
First of all, shout out to the admin team for letting me dunk on them so hard I convinced myself to stay.
Second, for the people who picked up Trans Liberation after I bullied you into it, you're worthy of both shame and praise. A lot of shame, but also a good amount of praise.
On one hand, this book was literally featured sitewide every weekend for 3 weeks. I even openly said in the original thread that I wanted cis folks to read it too. It shouldn't have taken a group of leftists so long to try to have an understanding of our struggles when trans related struggle sessions have continued plaguing the website since then. If you've come out of those struggle sessions and didn't ask someone for resources or even go to the fucking sidebar in !TEL in an attempt to educate yourself, shame on you.
On the other hand, the amount of people who immediately picked it up was really admirable. I shouldn't have to say this, but good on you for admitting to yourself that you were fucking underinformed and for seeking information. I've already seen some really good self-crit in the comments of the bully post and I'm looking forward to the discussion thread in the next few days.
As per usual in my times of uncertainty, I'm going to look to comrade Feinberg for wisdom like a devout Christian to the Bible.
Together, I believe we can forge a coalition that can fight on behalf of your oppression as well as mine. Together, we can raise each other's grievances and win the kind of significant change we all long for. But the foundation of unity is understanding.
I hope this has been a wake up call. I genuinely think things could be better if you all gave a shit to have an understanding of the struggles that marginalized comrades face. Have some damn solidarity and learn how to better fight on each other's behalf. I want to see you shitlibs reading literature on black struggle, women's struggle, indigenous struggle, neurodivergent struggle, disabled struggle, etc., not just literature on transgender struggle that I bullied you into reading.
Show us you give a shit and fucking do better like I know you're all capable of. Viva La Hexbear.
aaaaaaaaitsbrooke!! :trans-heart::trans-heart::trans-heart::cat-trans:
I know you sent this to me to proofread before you posted, but I really do appreciate you a lot. Thanks for always listening and taking criticism in stride, especially my drunken dunks on you, haha. Working with you on this project is a damn pleasure and I'm glad you're off your bullshit. ❤️
:fidel-salute:
I wasn't sure about removing downvotes at first, but the site has gotten a LOT better since they were removed. There is so much less toxicity in the comment section. You can still disagree, but you have to put it out there instead of being a :LIB:
The benefit too is folks can post really bad bit posts and they still get upvoted so everyone gets to see them. It's brought back some weird parts of the old sub where you have serious leftist conversations surrounded by just the absolute weirdest meme shit ever, while also knowing that meme shit isn't going to be hateful or exclusionary or anything.
Downvotes were a mistake
Hell yeah. Do what you gotta do. As a lurker/nonposter who adds absolutely nothing to the discourse, I support wholehearted the inclusivity of marginalized groups at any cost. "But mah free speech" is what the nazi assholes say. If your freeze peach is making other people uncomfortable, fuck off
I feel like SRS started the freeze peaches thing. Man, I miss that sub
TRANS GANG LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO :trans-heart: :leslie-feinberg:
The way you swear at other leftists and then tell them "not to be a debate bro" is really baity and unfair
THE WAY TRANS PEOPLE ARE BEING PUSHED OFF THIS PLATFORM BY REACTIONARY DICKHEADS IS UNFAIR. GET OFF THE FUCKING CROSS AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE TOXIC ENVIRONMENT INSTEAD OF TONE POLICING, LMFAO.
@quartz242 what gives? I saw this post in modlog. It didn't seem inappropriate, and telling someone to go look at some other post in a comm they might not be in is kind of a weird response.
If a comrade says something is making them feel uncomfortable, that should be treated with extra care, and probably have an even higher bar for removal.
Because this thread isnt the place to have that conversation. I was referring to that post as a more appropriate way of expressing ones discomfort with the phrase.
Especially as the word in question wasnt used in the original post.
I also referred the commenter to a couple different comms where their post would be more appropriate and get more attention.
I was unsure of the best way to communicate that succinctly so I apologize for any confusion.
The comment was reported and I assessed the comment chain in context of the original post and agreed with the report.
Thanks for the reply. That all makes sense. It sounds like there was context that I was missing. Sorry for the inconvenience.
You got the whore part right, that's for sure. Tongue fuck my ass, you piece of shit. 😩😩😩
Takeaway: Never "U mad" on the wrong side of a power differential.
:party-blob: :gui-trans: :party-blob:
I was so bummed to hear you were leaving, this is amazing news.
I want to see you shitlibs reading literature on black struggle, women’s struggle, indigenous struggle, neurodivergent struggle, disabled struggle, etc.
:party-sicko:
:leslie-shining:
I may not have said much about it, but to anyone that hasn't read it yet, just do it. It's a very engaging read and it can fly by pretty quick. Just go in with an open mind and like me you'll learn a few thing. I
t's also important because if you look up some of the topics brought up in the speeches, they are still plaguing the trans community today. I learned that in New York, police can use "anti-loitering statute" to target and harass members of the Trans community, especially if they are also a trans women of color.
Makes one thaink that all that's been accomplished is that bigoty has just been dressed up in legalese so activist can be pointed at and labeled as seeing bigotry where there is none "officially".
emancipation is for citizens in good standing only.
