This Is What Transgender Eradication Looks Like
This Is What Transgender Eradication Looks Like
It's bad out there. We must support internally displaced trans persons.

How Google Reader died — and why the web misses it more than ever - The Verge
I found other homes for feed reading, then settled for just Twitter for a while, and now I'm back to NetNewsWire

Masculinity is unreformable, because it's inherently about power; just be a good person
Using the term “masculinity” to talk about male supremacy or male privilege is undeniably a bad idea; it normalizes patriarchy, framing political power and the abuse thereof as a “natural,” inevitable form of gender expression.
Specifically, they mean how well a man fills his role in patriarchy by (a) rejecting any trace of “femininity” or womanliness, so as to be the exact polar opposite of a woman, and (b) keeping women and queer people down.
