ID: A scene from Legally Blonde of a conversation between Warner and Elle in the corridor at Harvard, in 4 panels:
Warner asks “Are you a man or a woman?”
Elle replies, smiling “I'm a communist”
Warner continues “No, I mean, what's in your pants?”
Elle looks confused “revolution.”
Thanks!
I wonder if they'll be able to stop it from happening again, sounds like the sneks found a spot they really like lol
Feel bad for poor doggo though..
Mental illness doesn't make people nazis, just like mental illness doesn't make people mass shooters, that's simply not how it works.
Key details missed out one big one - were they being kept by the person (illegally, I would assume?), or did they just really fancy their back garden, infest it, and were a complete surprise to the human residents?
Yeah, that person is a transphobe and a sealion, and there is absolutely no point in providing them any leeway or platform to spew their bigotry from.
There are specific biological differences that a mtf woman will have that hormones won’t change.
This is transphobia since it is factually incorrect and stems from wilful ignorance, and I'm shutting it, and your tone policing, down. There, how's that?
Those are not inherently the same,
Yes, they are, like I said, you don't have to mean it to be transphobic for it to be transphobic. People who are ignorant and get called out who don't want to be transphobes will admit ignorance, apologise, and improve their behaviour. Anything else makes a person a transphobe, no matter how uncomfortable that makes you.
I say feed the Wally (username checks out lmao) to the bears.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Unrelated
It actually is very much related, ableism often goes hand in hand with other forms of bigotry (and exists in all spaces in its own right), and we need to stand up to it just as much as the others.
A relevant example is that there is a pretty significant overlap between trans people and autistic people, and so any of us who are both get gaslit and patronised because we couldn't possibly know our gender identity since we're autistic and therefore must be completely lacking in any knowledge or understanding even of ourselves. It's disgusting.
Don't be hard on yourself, we each carry our own baggage and trauma and it can be hard to find confidence and a voice through all that shit. But learning to set boundaries (which is basically what this is) is such a powerful tool for self defence, and a way to try and reduce opportunity to be constantly retraumatised, we could all benefit from doing it more!
Telling transphobes (and other bigots) to fuck off, making it clear to them that they are not welcome, and that their bigotry isn't a legitimate "opinion" they get to express without consequence.
ID: Is this a pigeon meme where the person is tagged "cis society", the butterfly in their hand is tagged "trans people having a backbone about anything at all", and they are asking "is this destroying my free speech?"
Yeah, but we don't post publicly about that..

Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?
(if someone needs an image description, please ask)

Not everyone can, or needs to, be on the front lines and in the trenches shooting CEOs and blowing up pipelines, there are many other ways to help and organise which are essential not only to the resistance, but as building blocks for a better future
ID:
1 Title image says "How to resist an oligarchy" and has a drawing of 5 smiling people holding up their arms in a welcoming gesture
2 There are photos of trump, musk, zuc, and bezos next to text:
"Oligarchy:
a small group of people having control of a country, organization, or institution."
Their Goal:
For us to be overwhelmed, to ignore/avoid the growing information, and to feel helpless.
Our Goal:
Learn and focus on what we CAN do instead of why we can't."
3 text in a stylised frame says:
"Note: These suggestions are nothing new and may have to adapt to any environmental, governmental, and social changes that occur."
4 Drawing of a person holding a trey of freshly baked cookies, next to them is text:
"QUIET SUBVERSIVE:
If your calling is hiding ppl, driving women to clinics, mailing BC, or any illegal morally good activity, be paranoid.
Social media is not your friend. Zuck, Blue Sky, etc. will sell you out.
In order to be a Jane, you have to assume your life, lives of your Family/friends, and lives of the ones you are helping are in mortal danger.
As soon as you blast, "I'll hide Ann in my attic," you are no longer safe and not useful for this kind of work."
5 Drawing of a person handing out pamphlets to others, next to them is text:
"DISTRIBUTER:
This can be done by printing info. or providing online links.
For groups and orgs that can take the heat, such as Planned Parenthood, sharing and boosting their posts can be helpful.
If your calling is to print up red cards/make pamphlets, then anywhere you place this info is going to be targeted for destruction of materials.
Regularly drop off info and find new ways to get the word out. For smaller groups that need to stay somewhat obscure, be selective about sharing info."
6 There are 3 photos from mass demonstrations, between them is text:
"MARCHER:
Marches can be used for paying attention to which groups are attending.
Any group showing up with a banner is putting a giant target on themselves and they are going to need support. Volunteering with, or sending money helps them to continue showing up.
The focus of a march is disruption which can potentially lead to becoming a target.
Don't bring your phone. Don't share faces. Bring water and medical supplies.
Be prepared to be pepper sprayed, smoke bombed, hit by a baton, harassed if your face is passed around among fascists, and/or arrested/imprisoned."
7 Drawing of a person in camo, a paramedic, and a person adjusting their glasses, next to them is text:
"EDUCATOR:
These come in many forms: building, first aid, critical thinking, self defense, fact checking, science, map reading, psychology etc.
Anything that can help the quiet subversive, the information distributer, the marcher etc. etc. be more effective; keep up the good work of long threads and videos.
If you are not an expert, share media and videos from credible experts."
8 Drawing of a table with food on it, there are 3 people in line holding plates and 2 more serving up the food, above it is text:
"VOLUNTEER:
Soup kitchens, shelters, anywhere and everywhere people or animals are in need. Any and all good works towards our neighbors is resistance."
9 Drawing of a person curled up looking cosy, holding a pen and pad. There is also an image of the relevant book cover to the text beside it:
"REST:
Rest can be resistance.
From what I understand, it is about self care for the long haul.
For more information, I recommend reading "Rest is Resistance" by Tricia Hersey
CREATE:
Paint, write, draw, graffiti, design, music, videos, comedy.
If you are a creative person, use it to spread awareness, help raise funds, etc."
10 3 photos of places of worship, beside them is text:
"CHURCH GOER:
Historically, churches/synagogues/ mosques/temples have been a safe-ish place to gather in large groups and organize.
Anyone familiar with the history of black churches, or churches under Fascism, know there is potential for great good but also a risk of the church being burned, raided, bombed, or leaders being rounded up.
Whether you are a theist or atheist, consider finding a community that can gather and organize in large groups and become a regular contributing member.
As of 1/22/2024 ICE is legally allowed to raid churches, hospitals, and schools under illegal immigrant suspicion. They need a JUDGE ISSUED WARRANT. YOU ARE legally allowed to look at it and demand it.
11 Drawing of a person behind a stall, a photo of a large group of people behind a Planned Parenthood banner, and an illustrated banner for The Trevor Project. Between them is text:
"FINANCIAL SUPPORTER:
Every dollar has a potential to do good.
If you are able to put money towards a small business, especially if they are run by marginalized persons or groups, please do.
The billionaires won't be hurt and it won't stop them from aligning with Fascists but it will put money into hands of those needing to escape, needing aid, or in the hands of the above mentioned resisters."

I'm assuming this post was made by an American, and laws might vary where you are, but the point remains the same in every country: the cops are there to serve the state, not you, and they will not hesitate for a second to lie to you and pretend to be on your side to get what they need.
Don't trust them, don't believe them, don't confide in them, don't make their job of oppressing the working class easier.

ID: xXx6Marie9xXx @spiderbyte.bsky.social posted a city map of Istanbul and captioned it "Transphobes be like "Constantinople""
I haven't debated them though? I called them transphobes, left 3 links for the sake of anyone who might be reading their nonsense and want some correct information, blocked them all, and reported the issue.
