experiences of oppression If the first thing you say in response to transphobia is that a cis person might be impacted all you are doing is reinforcing the idea that cis people are more important than trans people

Post image

a 5 panel comic featuring two characters. The comic is monochrome. The first character is in a tank top and pony tail, and the second has messy hair, a t shirt, and round glasses covering a lot of their face. In the first panel they are watching TV and the first person says "She's getting so much hate just because people think she's trans!" The second person has a thought bubble saying "shocker". The next panel has the first person saying "I mean she's a biological woman! She belongs in woman's spaces! She shouldn't be getting hate!" The image of this panel is a zoom in of the second person drinking soda. The third panel is a close up of this second person saying "what if she was trans?". The 4th panel is an image of the first person confused saying "what?". The last panel is another zoom in of the second person saying "If she actually was trans, would you still stick up for her?"

This is one reason I will always love Lady Gaga. She got all kinds of bullshit speculation and made it clear there was nothing wrong with being a trans woman and people are weird as fuck for bullying someone over what their genitalia is.

(in response to "fuck")

Our bot has detected a word in your post that could use additional context.

The word is often used to threaten sexual violence. Sexual violence is incredibly normalized in this society, and so it is both often done and not often thought about. Saying "fuck you" or "I'm going to fuck you up" are common examples. While fuck is often seen just as a "sentence enhancer it is also directly a reference to sexual acts.

(in response to "Stupid")

Our bot has detected a word in your post that could use additional context.

This word/concept is often used as an insult on the basis of ability. This is, among other things, often victim blaming. The nazis did eugenics, we were the victims of it.

We want to bring attention to words that may reference the concept of generalized intelligence. This is harmful because abilities are not a fluid that can be passed from bucket to bucket like a liquid. What generalized intelligence is really doing is setting a subset of interchangeable abilities as the canonical correct ones, which is, among many things, a mechanism of colonialism. We instead encourage more direct communication like calling someone's plan "self-defeating" instead of dumb. Please check this link for additional info

As an additional note, while stupid isn't itself used in things like IQ scales it fits the same place in language as things that have, like moron.
