cat's futch bitchsona era ✨️🧙‍♀️🏹🌌🌷🍷🪄🎠🧭🎉🔬👀

what's awful is that I've been reading about transmascs being abused in the prison system for years now. the carceral system goes hand in hand with sexually abusing us, but nobody fucking listens

But you know, trans men are never targetted and everyone loves us /s

and yet in 2023 (& still currently) people were arguing that bringing up topics like this about transmascs was somehow "refusing to admit to your male privilege" or whatever 🫠

I. Factual Background The facts presented below are drawn from the testimonies of four survivors: Mario, Monica, Kenia, and Jane Doe. These facts demonstrate systemic abuse at SLIPC. Forced Labor Targeting Transgender and LGBTQ+ People Assistant Warden Mr. Manuel Reyes ("AW Reyes") ran an unsanctioned 'night shift cleaning crew' between 8:00 pm and 6:00 am. This program was not reported in official records and targeted transgender and LGBTQ+ detained people. Mario, Monica, and Kenia were forced into hard manual labor without protective equipment. Tasks included stripping floors, painting, and exposure to industrial-strength chemicals, causing burns, respiratory distress, and lasting injuries. Sexual Assault, Harassment and Exploitation AW Reyes stalked, harassed, and assaulted detained people in camera 'blind spots.' Mario and Monica witnessed AW Reyes coercing sexual acts from others. Monica was groped and assaulted multiple times. AW Reyes also told him that he watched him shower on cameras. Kenia was harassed and threatened with retaliation when refusing to cooperate. Jane Doe was repeatedly stalked, groped, and coerced into performing oral sex under threat to her and her family.

The survivors' individual stories are detailed below: Monica (he/him); Transgender Man; Detained Since May 9, 2023 Monica has been detained by ICE continuously since on or about May 9, 2023. In late September 2023, AW Reyes approached Monica about joining a "cleaning crew" to work an "off the books night shift program," alongside another transgender man detained at SLIPC. That month, Monica began to perform hard manual labor at the instruction of AW Reyes. The "shifts" occurred late at night, between the hours of 8:00 pm and 6:00 am. Unlike the other work programs at SLIPC, these work shifts were not recorded in a formal log book or shift schedule. AW Reyes approached transgender people and masculine-presenting LGBTQ+ people to participate in this "program." Each person targeted by AW Reyes identified as transgender or LGBTQ+. AW Reyes would enter the housing units and wake up Monica and the others and bring them to do hard manual labor in various locations inside SLIPC. The "shifts" were randomized and Monica and the others did not have a designated schedule. AW Reyes would compensate them for their labor at times by adding $1/day into their commissary accounts. Other times, he would bring a trash bag full of commissary items and give them to Monica and the others. AW Reyes routinely entered the housing unit late at night, between two and three o'clock in the morning, while detained people were sleeping. He would walk around the unit while people were sleeping and take people's used underwear and sanitary pads from the housing unit. Monica witnessed him say to a detained woman walking to her bunk in her nightshirt, "Is that how your breasts bounce when you are fucking?" AW Reyes required Monica and others to perform hard manual labor without any personal protective equipment, resulting in significant health risks and physical injuries. Despite repeated requests, Monica and others were denied access to gloves, face shields, and steel-toed boots. In response to these…

A new complaint from ACLU and other human rights groups details how the warden at a Lousiana ICE facility created an unofficial “work program” of manual labor and sexual humiliation for trans men at the facility. This is very hard to read.

if AOC runs and people start finding new reasons to avoid doing basic civic actions I'm going to personally send everyone glitter-filled envelopes. so you will forever be reminded of your failure.

our survival relies on a group effort & about 90% of the group members are currently so unfathomably incompetent it's going to kill us all

"Yet, just like with the ace discourse movement, when people try to point this out, they are told they are hysterical or being hyperbolic or even transphobic for accusing other trans people for espousing TERF rhetoric (even though it's well known that you can be trans and transphobic just as much as you can be gay and homophobic). And, just like ace discourse, at some point some evidence will come forth delineating just how steeped in radfem ideology the anti-transandrophobia/baeddal movements are, and these people will quietly let the matter drop rather than admit their mistakes, only to repeat this all again ad nauseam in a few years when a new target has been chosen to be the community monster-of-the-week. Y'all have GOT to stop falling for this every few years, admit your errors, and start listening. #ive been cooking this post for like two weeks but im just gonna release it into the wild tbh"

"It will never not be deeply disturbing how quickly so-called lefties who proudly put 'TERFS DNI' and such in their bios will align themselves with TERF/radfem rhetoric when it's couched in progressive-ish language, and worse still will become incredibly defensive when this is pointed out to them. There's a weird retroactive reframing of ace discourse as 'fizzling out' when people seemingly 'understood the errors of their ways' when the actual reality is that ace discourse stopped abruptly because it was proven that it originated from/aligned with actual TERF/radfem rhetoric - suddenly, it was unfashionable for so-called anti-TERF bloggers to have indulged so heavily in stuff that was so obviously radfem ideology, so rather than own up to their errors and learn from this, they quickly wafflestomped the evidence down the drain by stopping talking about it and moving on to another topic. All this despite the fact that for literal years during the height of ace discourse, many ace/trans people pointed out the similarities between TERF/radfem rhetoric and ace discourse rhetoric, only to be ignored or told they were making ridiculous claims and being LGBTphobic for saying so. Until these people come to grips with their susceptibility to uncritically consume, support, and share radfem talking points, we will continue to see this community in-fighting problem with a new monster-of-the-week each time, which is precisely why the entire argument around transandrophobia is even happening - the radfem rhetoric is phrased in language that is just progressive enough to slip past these people's filters, and that's how we get insane takes like 'trans men don't experience misogyny because they're men' and 'trans men don't need access to gynecologists because they're men'."

yep yep yep no EXACTLY

so I've been taking these iron supplements, right. and every time I take them I've gotta have a chaser bc they taste like metal in the worst way, literally dread it every day but my anemic ass needs the iron

well. turns out one of the capsules was opened and coated every other capsule in iron dust.

I frequently worry that some day I will have one singular bad take & it will blow up into a much larger discourse that causes like almost all of my small online community to forever hate me. and what's annoying is that that's on top of a smear campaign I've already been victim to.

idk it's something I've experienced a lot, as a notoriously anxious person who also yaps and posts sometimes without thinking and makes mistakes. I routinely run into moments where I feel a little dehumanized.

I think the purity culture perfectionist stuff is also a form of disposability & carceral mentality people haven't unpacked enough but idk how better to word that

you're telling me they all paid over $100 each???????? oh come the fuck on lmao so you lined her pockets???? it's all such a joke. virtue signaling ass performative "activism" holy shit

every day I mourn for my home and the people I love and what could've been

like he's still human & has proven himself to be kinda vindictive as a person on several occasions

I agree with a lot of bernie's socialist policies and viewpoints, but if you cannot see that he is a deeply vengeful petty man that has screwed several people over solely because he was salty about not getting nominations or accolades etc. even at the expense of lives? rose colored glasses.

I wish I could just exist as me & be seen as me without the whole trans thing being such a big deal

like if society didn't care. yknow. but instead I look at cis people with an odd sort of longing for simplicity & acceptance bc they're allowed to just exist as their gender(s) uncomplicatedly

did you know that most of the species of mold that grow in houses are actually really bad at surviving & the only reason we have mold infestation problems is that we decided to build houses out of the small handful of materials they really like to grow in

"you still have some amount of obligation to not assume the worst possible interpretation of what a complete stranger says" should really not be a controversial as it is

like. if you've got zero evidence they'd be the type of person to say or imply that, you're just jumping at throats for no reason

"the dictator of north korea is a sweet innocent baby who did nothing wrong ever in his life" was not on my 2025 'dumbass arguments made by leftists online' bingo card I'm ngl

like I hear ya on the US propaganda front, there are probably details we're being fed that aren't super accurate, but when multiple countries have reports of massive human rights violations including torture and executions, I think it's safe to say that that's probably real. yknow.

there are people on tiktok currently very angy w/ me because I said that the dictator of north korea has committed a whole host of war crimes and atrocities

somebody just asked me "what atrocities? list them" and I'm just gobsmacked the tankies never fail to amaze me

bsky.app/profile/ther...

anyways tumblr user razortouched, if said person sees this, I have a thread around here somewhere fully debunking that wage gap study. I'll rt on tumblr with some of that as well bc it's pertinent information imho

idk why people accuse me of being other accounts all the time but it's happened like 3 or 4 times now & I'm just. wary.

there's a new anon account making posts debunking anti-transmasculinity & I'm really enjoying their (? idk pronouns) posts but I just saw one they made on stats and had a mild twinge of anxiety wondering if I'm about to be accused of being this account solely bc of like 2 similarities

"If you see a post about how transmasculine people in ICE facilities were sexually abused specifically for being transmasculine and your main issue is that people were tagging it with "transandrophobia"? It sounds like you are more concerned about the language people use to describe the abuses going on rather than the actual abuse"

when I said these people were acting in service of fascism when they silence transmascs I never thought it would become quite so blatant & on-the-nose, yet, here we are 🫠

well yes that too

the irony in the "protect and serve" people not protecting nor serving
