sorry prof, we tried to follow the spec for "male and female androids" but ran into some issues. first, i dont think the robots know what sexual difference is. they keep treating each other as basically the same kind of entity and swapping body mods and doing other stuff. second, the officer corps treats them all like different kinds of girl. it's kinda weird to be honest. i think the robots are kind of whatever about gender and assigned sex at production but the officer corps treats them all like women anyway except also do little tricks to prove they arent real women. some kind of officer hazing ritual? i was wondering if it was a problem with the officer corps but captain was adamant that the defect was in the robots

the avg gen z man on the internet hates yuri, adamantly insists women are actually femboys, reposts chads & wojaks 24/7, and wishes to die in war with his brothers, and you think the answer to "male loneliness" is *not* downloading grindr? come on dude. heterosexuality is a 20th century hangover

the graph never fails

if you want to trans your sexual then you simply gotta. if the government kills us all we'll at least be in good company with each other, both now and through the strata of history. real safety may elude us all our lives, but they're still our lives.

the cis person's idea of someone coming out as a trans woman assumes they are driven by a principal desire to conform to a regressive mould and not by a desire of asserting and moulding subjectivity from nothing i.e. women can do anything

👋

societal need for "community space where you can hang out with your friends" due to the continued enclosure or elimination of both commons and transport and so in light of this the children try to recreate this in fortnite etc and adults try to recreate this on social media

the republican political platform is "kill everything and everyone as fast as possible" and the democrat political platform is "uphold the united states' settler-colonial barracks-state in occupied palestine even if the world ends"

trans women should all just start calling themselves afab as a collective joke who will even be able to verify this

As the Zapatistas say: "El mundo que queremos es uno donde quepan muchos mundos" (basically, 'The world we want is one where many worlds fit together')

it is a sincerely held belief of mine that i do not believe that one's gender or sexuality automatically gives special inherent insight on writing women, just that barriers to these exist in degrees, and this is a skill that must be cultivated against the grain of ambient misogyny everywhere

what if women could do anything....................

strongly seconded. i've cracked eggs before and i'll do it again.

we basically have to take a sledgehammer to cisness & the whole concept of binary sex on the path to sex as a whole if we ever want a unification of feminist and queer politics that can liberate all women & lgbtq people. the bare minimum here is mainstreaming the idea that bodies exist in continuity

barring the historical relevance of terms, every feminism that takes the sexed body and heterosexuality for granted as-given is a liberal feminism to me tbh. i mean as well in the sense that its end state can only be representational as citizen subjects through legalistic reforms. e.g. the UK rn!

I kind of wish there was a model for the future that was something other than liberals and communists arguing with each other about why each approach intractably sucks and will never work while techbros melt the atmosphere with data garbage regurgitators

you are not a feminist unless you fundamentally believe that every woman and femme deserves freedom. their work, their needs, their interests, who they love, who they don't, their limits and boundaries, their self-education, their everything. it's their choice, it's their desire

the people who are in charge are not successfully navigating you out of the major crises of our era, and existing systems (and even existing methods of resistance) aren’t the answer.

We failed to stop the rise of fascism. What comes next? How to navigate the future without a map.

We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one.

I'm not convinced that the politics of the killer matter more than the politics of the act.

yay!
