what white people think racism is: when you mean to someone because of their race
what racism really is: social and legal systems that puts a race beneath another, vilifying them, fetishizing them, sexualizing them, and creates a usually negative bias towards that group.
where childhood is not an option when you’re the villain or where you are always seen at a child’s level no matter your age
where you are always responsible if someone else says/does something racist towards you, because existing invites aggression somehow
where you do not fit beauty standards, because beauty is afforded to the human, and your conditioned low self-esteem lets you know that
where you’re either synonymous with violence, stupidity, or infantilization, because you cannot make your own choices that aren’t irrational.
where your feelings are routinely invalidated and your daily life experiences are not enough evidence and cannot be trusted, because you’re a suspicious character whose humanity is always on trial. so you do not get to define universally what racism is
where you do not get feel anything besides rational at all times, to be carefree or upset or angry without it being a stereotype of you overreacting to everything
where if you fit into a stereotype it could mean your death and the rest of your race tries to put you down as a self-elevating technique, because they have internalized the lie that when you deny your race and culture you become human. where fitting a stereotype means “see i knew they where all like this”
where if you don’t fit into a stereotype you are not your race and culture, because people have such narrow views of what you’re supposed to be that you cannot possibly exist and be your race at the same time, so people of every race take away yours. Oreo. Banana. Coconut. Apple.
where you will legally get more time for the same crimes
where you will socially be demonized more for the same crimes
where when you quell the crimes keeping your race down, there are always more that’s made up to keep you in your place (The War on Drugs =_=)
where you get paid less for the same work
where you get hired less with the same qualifications
where having a culturally-coded name that’s not acceptable, like Ibrahim, Jose, or Unique can stop you from getting a job
where there are so many things in place to keep you impoverished and uneducated but it’s still your fault if you don’t have the strength and good luck to defy the lack of social mobility and create your own
where entire countries whose cultures and economies have been destroyed are trying to restart alone and the people that destroyed them blame the country for its own destruction
where the farther your features are from your race the more beautiful you’re considered
where your rank in social hierarchy changes how people treat you the more they find out about your identity, and the more marginalized you are by coming out of the closet or not being christian or not being able-bodied and neurotypical the worse you get racism, because you are a bigger target for various acts of violence and microaggressions
where you get used to microagressions before you hit double digits
where your most recent experience with a microaggression was probably yesterday if the day just started
where you idea of a microaggression is the white summation of racism
where your family teaches you how to assimilate to white culture to try and protect you from all of the above
where your death is an opportunity to blame you for it and demonize you in your grave
where there is a death count just for existing
where there is a death count just for existing
where there is a death count just for existing
“Doctors who spent years studying the human body”
Do you mean doctors who spent years learning about abled white cis men’s bodies
do you know anything about the world besides what you read on tumblr
Okay but this is true?? Shut up with your bullshit, the medical industry for a very very long time has used the able bodied white cis male as their standard and that has very real healthcare consequences for a lot of people.
Do you know why most women don’t know when they’re having heart attacks? Why heart attacks kill more women than men? Because symptoms of a heart attack are different for women and the ones that doctors usually recognize and publicize are the symptoms experienced by men. Do you know why it’s so difficult for Black and Brown people to get diagnosed if they have skin cancer? Because doctors have been taught to recognize it on white people. People of size are constantly told that their problems are entirely because of their weight and doctors don’t even bother to look beyond that to be sure that’s the case. So those people have medical conditions go undiagnosed properly for years, and die in the process. Fuck, even just the fact that people think it’s okay to charge women more for healthcare because “they have extra parts” (?????) is indicative of the way the male body has been considered the standard for fucking ever. And the healthcare needs of disabled people or trans people? Forget about it.
OP is 1000% right. The medical industry has used the able cis white male body as their standard of care for CENTURIES and that has real consequences for the rest of us today. It’s getting better but it’s not where it should be. So fuck off with your snarky commentary, you’re wrong. The healthcare industry is not equipped to handle the needs of people with disabilities, women, PoC, trans people, people of size, etc. and that’s in large part due to the fact that the established body of medical knowledge was created by studying able, cis, white male bodies almost exclusively.
Hey there folks, speaking as a trained EMT and a pre-med student, I can confirm that the above person is approximately 7000% accurate. In my EMT training, I would repeatedly ask ‘’but what if my patent is a woman” or “what is my patient is a person of color” and at first all I got was shock. Then I got confused bumbling. I got some answers–basic symptoms of a heart attack in women, how to recognize cyanosis in someone of color, the basics of how to work with an autistic patient or someone who for whatever reason can’t communicate well with you. In fact, EMTs and other EMS workers are getting a lot better at learning the differences between the health care for a person of color or someone disabled. We were even told that we would need to ask our patients for their biological sex (I know, I’m really sorry, I know that there are people who find this intensely uncomfortable or even harmful, but there are real medical reasons for this and most decent EMTs will use whatever pronouns you ask them to). But most if not all of the answers we were given about women were directly related to gynecological issues. The guys teaching me? They were good guys. Nice. Funny. Smart. Devoted to caring for patients. Impassioned about protecting people, especially women and teenaged girls, from assault. Largely not sexist toward me or their coworkers. Hell, they were even smart enough to say “listen, boys, the women in this class have a higher pain tolerance than you, they just do, and as a rule if a women says their pain is a 5 on a scale of 1-10, assume it’s somewhere around an 8” when a kid laughed during the gyno unit. But they just didn’t know what to say when I asked “so if you’re supposed to palpate the patient’s chest, what do you do if your patient’s a triple-D” or when I asked “so if your patient gets menstrual migraines, how do you know if this headache is a stroke or not.” They had never been taught. This is a real problem, one that many medical professionals work hard to remedy once they start practicing. But this is not bullshit. At all. The standard patient is a cis white guy with no disabilities or chronic illnesses. It’s a huge fucking problem and I’m going to need you to step down with your bullshit, there, friend.

This Trans Teen’s Parents Tried To “Fix” Him By Sending Him To India
“My parents thought there was something wrong with me because I wasn’t living my life the way they wanted. I didn’t fit the mold,” Bhatt explained. “They told me that I would eventually get an arranged marriage to a man.”
On September 10, the Indian queer resource group Nazariya helped Bhatt escape his family. The activists also provided Bhatt with legal counsel and shelter.
That’s when things got complicated. Bhatt’s parents filed a complaint with the local police. Bhatt and supporters said his father, who he says is relatively wealthy and well-connected, used his power and influence to harass the activists.GIFS VIA.
This needs more notes. Where’s all the white feminists when real shit goes down?
I think what bothers me so much about the “feminists are ugly” or “feminists are hairy” or “feminists are lesbian” stereotypes is—
So fucking what?
Some of us ARE ugly. Some of us ARE hairy. Some of us ARE lesbians. And it shouldn’t fucking invalidate anything we’re fucking saying to you.
But you know, if you believed that, if you actually believed that our sexual usefulness to men is irrelevant to the conversation about our basic human rights, you wouldn’t be a fucking misogynist, would you?If you’re reblogging this and adding conventionally beautiful heterosexual feminists, you’re missing my point entirely.
Our attractiveness to men and/or our willingness to fuck them should not determine the validity of our movement.
Stop fighting the “Feminists are ugly lesbians” stereotype by shouting, “No, we’re not!” Fight it by acknowledging that that’s a shitty critique of a movement for people who want our human rights.
The fact that this is even a problem - that our cause is so often critiqued not by discussions about our ideas but about whether or not we are sexually attractive to men or willing to fuck them - is proof that we’re being viewed not as human beings who deserve rights but as sexual objects.When someone dismisses your cause because they can’t/don’t want to fuck the people in it, your response should not be, “LOOK, SOME OF US ARE FUCKABLE!” It should be, “What a shitty person you are for believing that’s a requirement for us to be worth listening to.”

Trans men who continue to use the term “TERF” are transmisogynists. The accurate term is “TWEFs,” or Trans Women Exterminatory Feminists. Many TWEFs are, in real life, friends with trans men. They will fight for trans men’s rights. They will misgender trans men while they do so, but they will protect and shelter trans men from accusations of male privilege and from ‘transmisandry,’ enabling those men to go on abusing women unchecked.
Trans men who fail to acknowledge that TWEFs harm trans women and protect trans men are complicit in the continued oppression of trans women.Just so everyone knows. This needs to be more well known and tbh I’m disappointed it isn’t.
-Mod J
There are two distinct camps of them, as far as I can tell. TERFs hate all trans people no matter what - they think trans men/transmasc people are traitors who just want a piece of male power and therefore are dangerous and predatory by default, even while they misgender. There are pages out there, by TERFs, all about tearing down transmasc people and spreading disgusting lies about testosterone (that it’ll turn us all into rapists, for example), our bodies, etc. They’ll post graphic and private pictures of transmasc people and be completely violating in any way they can.
TWERFs specifically hate trans women and will often ally themselves with trans men, unlike TERFs.
Yeah, I don’t understand where OP got the idea that TERFs protect trans men at all. When I identified as a trans male publicly, I got the most violent and invalidating hate from TERFs.
The terms TWEF and TERF are both real and valid terms. People should just know when there’s a difference. Because OP was right in that TWEFs often protect trans men in certain aspects and only exclude and are violent toward trans women (besides the misgendering of trans males - please remember that is an act of violence as well). But that’s what makes them different than a TERF. TERFs exclude and are hateful toward all trans people.Edit: I would also like to point out that saying anyone is a transmisogynist (especially already oppressed groups) for using a term that is commonly used and accepted and not using a word that no one knows about yet besides very few people is not only harsh, but is an extremely privileged position to take. We can’t expect people to just know everything and then call them bigots when they don’t. We can explain why a term may be harmful, and then if someone continues to use it (without a valid argument such as mine), then we can start labeling them.
some of yall r SOOO sensitive!! and it’s a good way to be. u have big hearts. I love u
