breaking news: queen elizabeth, the mom from the royal family, is a nasty little thottie. and she just died from making it clap on instagram

can i be honest for a second? i think its kinda dumb to attribute the law proposed in texas for that would ban drag queens from public spaces, and by extension any visibly transgender woman from public spaces, to arguments abt kink at pride. there has been a backlash against trans rights brewing for many years. and, notably drag queens sort of have never been a main focus of the "but there are children and nonconsenting people at pride events" sort of arguments. trans people have always been targetted as being uniquely corrupting for children to be around, its never needed the help of this stupid cyclical discourse we have every summer on tumblr. its been around before it, just as vitriolic and hateful, and itll be around after it, same as always. this is pretty obviously just riding the coattails of other successful anti woman and anti trans legislation getting passed, as well as being empowered by the growth of anti trans hate movements on both the right and the left

id have to read the text of the proposed legislation to know for certain what language and ongoing discussions its trying to coopt, and i aint doing that right now bc im already on the verge of cutting my own arms open this afternoon. but even if that kind of "kink at pride" type language was present in the bill, like, its kind of obvious that this kind of legislation was coming down the pipes, with or without "kink at pride" arguments, lmfao. i think its kind of deeply stupid, for people to see fascist political opportunism aimed at scrubbing a vulnerable and widely reviled minority group from public life, after months of successfully targetting said minority group with legistlation that cuts them out of sports and healthcare, and say, "this is happening simply because yall said you didnt like the dogmen"

like its kind of incredibly narcissistic to try and turn this legislation, which is an obvious, immediate existential threat to transgender women and girls, into a way to win points in your extremely online arguments about "is leatherman good? or is leatherman bad?" its not fucking relevant, frankly, and it really goes far to show how little you actually care about transgender women, that your first fucking instinct is to try and make this into an extension of the categorically useless pride discourse youre so obsessed with continuing every single year

That reminds me of that one infuriating post that was like “if you don’t understand an academic paper, it probably means it was poorly written”…. Besties, romans, countrymen, if you don’t understand an academic paper it’s probably because it was written for a handful of experts in the very specific subfield for which it is relevant, and as someone who is almost certainly NOT one of those handful of experts it’s not in your realm of immediate comprehension. In many (most? all?) fields if you take even one step to the left of your scope of research you’re going to end up spending a lot of time catching up on context. Shockingly, this is because there’s a lot of information out there in the world, and you don’t know all of it. That doesn’t make you stupid, or the author stupid. No one has to be stupid in this scenario. This is a process called learning, just chill on it

genuine question for those of you who are comfortable answering: how old were you when you started using the internet & do you regret using it that young
