The hbomberguy video is amazing, but the fact that he had James Somerton on the ropes and TODD IN THE FUCKING SHADOWS came out of nowhere with the steel chair is batshit way to begin the end of 2023.

You know, I always heard tumblr users were a bunch of kinky weirdos but I'm not so sure. I checked the polls and everyone here is super into vanilla.

Hey, just a heads up to everyone who follows my blog: if you see anybody with an orange and black square in their bio, they’re a transphobe.

Idiots on TikTok have been coming out in droves in support of some bullshit identity called “super straight” which basically means that they’re only attracted to cis people 🙄 They’re trying to wedge themselves into the LGBTQ+ community and their claim is that it’s phobic toward them to say that they’re transphobic… it’s just a gargantuan cishet headache.

So, to reiterate: orange and black squares = the “super straight” flag = transphobic dogwhistle. Stay safe everyone!

People have been pointing out additional things in the replies of this post and I’ll summarize them here because it’s important!

  • This isn’t something that only cishet people are doing, there are cis lesbians, cis gay men, and cis bi people who have been labelling themselves “super (insert sexual orientation)” and I’ve seen a couple of them on Tumblr already when I went digging in the tags for more information. Please, for your own safety and mental wellbeing, just block them immediately.
  • Although it is now rampant on TikTok and Twitter (I believe), “super straight” originated on 4chan and it is a gigantic Nazi dogwhistle in addition to being transphobic as fuck. Basically, the term can be abbreviated to “SS” which is also short for Schutzstaffel (a paramilitary organization under Hitler in Nazi Germany). The colours of the “super straight” flag are also the colours of a specific Nazi flag.

These people are extremely bad news. Please block them if you see them.

I want to make an addition! 

If you’re reading this post, or about the subject another thing you can do aside from spreading, blocking, educating yourself and deconstructing biases, etc., etc., is donate to Trans people or Trans mutual aid funds if you’re able.

These are literally only some of the available options out there. There’s also different transition funds and donation lists around Tumblr that are organised by trans people (tpoc specially) to help each other and that you can donate, too.

Transphobia isn’t just TERFs outing themselves as Nazis once again, transphobia is also the unsustantiability of trans life by altering the conditions which would otherwise allow us to live — specially of trans people of colour.

Here is another post with many other alternatives.

This is also a time for standing with Jewish trans people, listening to them, and learning from them and standing by them. I, personally, don’t know specific coalitions or groups where you can donate or find other ways to support them. Of course, I’ll personally keep looking, but if you have some, make them circulate.

Fuck TERFs, fuck Nazis, block them and ridicule them but most importantly stand in solidarity with the groups which are the most affected by transphobia and Nazism.

just to be clear, the fact that music was nominated for a golden globe is absolutely disgusting. every single (adult) involved in that gross, ableist movie should be sickened by themselves.

for those of you who don't know, music (2021) is a movie being directed by sia about a nonverable autistic girl. not only does it not include any actually autistic people in the movie itself but it also only took advice from autism speaks which is looked at as a hate group by the majority of the autistic community. leaked scenes have also shown the movie glorifying prone restraints which are incredibly dangerous and have resulted in major injuries and even death to disabled people as recently as last year.

autistic people just like me have been incredibly outspoken about how harmful this movie is but the allistic have been mostly silent. we are already seeing reviews calling this movie 'inspiring' and important' and it's absolutely horrific! we need your help calling this out. please stand with us and call out this disgusting display of disrespect to autistic folks.

💛 - your local actually autistic pal

p.s. please, please reblog if you aren't autistic.
