Solving violence against trans people seems to include the same solutions as solving violence against most other people: housing, safe spaces to go in uncertain times, gun regulations.

this post sucks ass lol how tf do people keep saying this shit and having it get 10k+ notes

Can’t reblog the post going round containing these two screenshots:

So I’ll put my addition here:

This also applies to women who complain about feminism requiring them to work, rather than being ‘ladies of leisure’. Women equivalent to them in the past always worked - who do they think were the maids, housekeepers, cooks, nannies, wet nurses, governesses, washerwomen, spinners, weavers, seamstresses, nurses, midwives, etc - and today’s equivalent of the past’s ladies of leisure can afford to be ladies of leisure now. Feminism fought for women’s work to be acknowledged, valued, and fairly paid, and that fight is still ongoing.

i bet there were guys in the 1800s who were super fucking Reddit about everything, but no one had the right word yet for why those guys were so annoying. so they just had to wonder

Also do you notice how the first statistic says ‘all transgender people’ and the second says ‘all trans-identified males’ - does anyone know where this statistic is from, because I for one would like to know how many of those ‘all transgender people killed’ were trans-men ie females

Can’t know for sure without looking at the actual source but I’d be willing to bet money that if we looked at ‘trans-identified males killed’ instead of ‘all transgender people killed’ that we’d be looking at a different number, and that the gap between trans-identified males killed vs in prison would be even wider…..

if you take sex away as a determinate to womanhood or manhood, you’re only left with gender norms to define these categories by, which is regressive and alienating to many if not most people

If you define womanhood and manhood on sex alone, every individual is free to behave and look how they wish without it standing in contrast to their status as a man or woman, which how you deconstruct gender stereotypes

ive gotten so much mileage out of this tweet. every time i see something on the internet that makes me mad i just think to myself "people in real life: hey man how's it going" and i keep it pushing
