Nothing quite like being up at 3 am watching video essays about horror movies and hearing suddenly in the distance this blaring noise, like a train or a ship’s horn but continuous. It gets louder and louder and then quieter again, it stops and then starts again. Droning, menacing, vaguely threatening and ominous. Now i feel kind of like a horror film protagonist.

Does anyone have any recommendations for theory/zines about group dynamics in activist groups especially informal hierarchies and how to counteract them?

@jeffowski i was the kid who was always picked last for teams, and as a trans person i remember PE as not just constant humiliation and bullying, but also constant dysphoria. I still struggle to get over that fear of anything related to it. Currently trying to work up the courage to go to a martial arts course i wanted to try. I know it’s probably going to be fun but the idea of being in a gym alone makes my skin crawl.

@Rasp the gay men and the one nonbinary person who is attracted to men have been shockingly quick to mutually fall in love, get together, and marry, and so far those marriages have also not led to any drama

@Rasp after playing a bit more, the closest stuff to drama (if you can call it that) is coming from the lesbians, and it’s more something along the lines of an unrequited love that the character is too shy to confess and that eventually fades away.

@Rasp it has gotten to the point where i’ve made a bunch of nicknames and topics that sound like insults, threats and violence. So many of the conversations between my characters are along the lines of “heretic, what do you think about declaring war together?” “I’d love to! But tearing your fucking head off is even more fun than declaring war!”

@rechelon @thomasjwebb i actually had that obsession as a teenager, but i still ended up in a very similar place. I think it’s because i have just enough knowledge to see how much bullshit there is (but then kind of burnt out when trying to get actual skills like programming, so i don’t really have the skills to do anything with/about it). I’ve learnt that i actually love the tactile aspect of paper. And that i love being outside and being present in the world around me. I think my obsession with tech was to a large part due to wanting to forget my body because of dysphoria.

Replying to @MusiqueNow@todon.eu

@MusiqueNow @navi @Melezioh as a nonbinary trans guy i’m telling you to please just stfu. You could’ve just read the article. And this implication that the word transmasc is somehow disrespectful to trans men (when not everyone in the team was a binary trans man and they chose that label for themselves) reads as an exorsexist and transmedicalist dog whistle. Most of all, i do not appreciate being called “an AFAB” at all, it makes me dysphoric and it’s something close to misgendering. To call transmasc people “AFABs” is saying that this is an inescapable essentialistic trait that we will always embody, that we will always be “AFABs” rather than our actual genders, rather than it being something that happened to us when we were born. I was afab, i am not afab, and I’m especially not an afab. How hard can it be to just let people celebrate this rare bit of trans joy?

@nileane or… don’t. There’s so much more stuff you could watch that isn’t this problematic. I’m usually not the kind of person who berates people for enjoying art made by bad people (any more), but in this case i have zero patience. I get it, i also read those books as a kid and really liked them, but that was when i didn’t have the knowledge, critical thinking and english skills necessary to notice all the problematic shit, all the racism in the books themselves. And as a trans person, it hurts to see cis people still excitedly talking about this franchise as if nothing happened, after such a long time of her hate campaign which has a direct impact on me and people like me.

Replying to @Zahlenzauberin@dresden.network

@Zahlenzauberin i feel like the dysphoria we feel about that has often been downplayed and invalidated by cis people who say shit like “everyone hates menstruation, it sucks for everyone”, which yes, is true, but that completely ignores the added layer of dysphoria. Cis women hate the pain and cramps and the mood problems and the inconvenience, but they don’t have the added feeling of “this is wrong, my body shouldn’t be capable of doing this. I’m bleeding from an area that shouldn’t even exist”. And they don’t have to deal with stuff like period products often being designed in a way that looks like it was intended to cause the maximum amount of dysphoria, underwear that doesn’t trigger as much dysphoria often being terrible at holding pads, men’s bathrooms usually not having bins, and the social component (the dysphoria of other people learning that we menstruate in situations where we can’t hide it such as when the pain is too bad or when we can’t hide the fact that we carry and use menstrual products, going to the bathroom to change them) - which for people who are stealth can also mean getting outed. It all gets flattened down to “of course you hate menstruating, everyone does!!

@bri7 growing up it has to a large part been cis women who have tried to force me into the female gender role and who have tried to push things like the idea that i should be ashamed of my own body hair on me. Who have tried to make me fit the very same role that hurts them. Who have been complicit in patriarchy and sexist to me. But i suppose people aren’t ready for that conversation yet…

@whatanerd@social.treehouse.systems i just hate that they take stories that i love, stories that warn about shit they are doing, and drag them through the mud by treating them as aesthetics and using them for their fascist agenda. As someone who loves dystopian literature it upsets me to see it used that way. It depresses me to see anti-authoritarian art be twisted into their propaganda. It feels like a slap in the face.

Being a (nonbinary) trans guy is fucking weird in this society. I experience all of the shit that cis women experience under the patriarchy and more, but at the same time my gender is similar to that of the assholes who are doing that and holding power and profiting under the patriarchy. It’s so easy to internalize the TERF narrative that me being a trans guy makes me a traitor to women, and the narrative that being oppressed under the patriarchy makes me a woman wether i like it or not. When in reality being trans is making me more marginalized, not less. It really feels bizarre when that idea of “feminism” (and it’s not just TERFs, this goes much deeper) joins forces with the patriarchy to try to force me “back” into womanhood.

It’s easy to frame this as coming only from other feminists, but it’s more than anything coming from myself. Every time I experience sexism, every time I experience sexual harassment, I end up hating an aspect of myself (the part of my gender that is male-ish). And every time sexist shit is done to me it also is a way to try to take away my gender, for cis male assholes to tell me “you are a woman, wether you like it or not. Being on the receiving end of this makes you a woman”. Or to say it (what society wants me to internalize) like this: “To be a man makes you the same as a perpetrator and to be a victim makes you a woman. So you are at fault for your own oppression.”

I’ve recently seen the acronym “LGBTI” be increasingly used instead of “LGBTQ” or “LGBTQIA” and it really annoys me because specifically taking the Q and the A out of the acronym is feeling weirdly personally directed at people like me, an aroace person. And also because aphobia and having an issue with the term “queer” are both sentiments that are not just extremely harmful on their own, they also have huge overlap with TERFism, and are often gateways to TERFism.

I’ve also seen all the authoritarian commie orgas suddenly start using it when they suddenly decided they wanted to pretend to care about queer issues (which they are bad at), so when i hear it I will immediately suspect some relation to those weird cultish groups. Those are the same people who will in other situations insist on talking about women when talking about things that affect people of marginalized genders generally, in situations where it’s completely normalized here to use the FLINTA* acronym instead. So in that light, the association with TERFism doesn’t feel that far fetched… and it infuriates me when those hypocrites say things about “LGBTI” in an attempt to seem more queer-friendly than they are, in order to recruit people to be exploited. Idk it just really rubs me the wrong way.
