replace all the star trek actors with black trans people, honestly let’s get this over with. let’s make it so unpalatable to the average bigot they decide to boycott star trek. i want every major tv show and movie to get review brigaded by men crying about “forced diversity”. let them howl at the gates.
thinking about TERFs and feminism / brief porn mention
My personal conspiracy theory is that TERFs really like porn made for the male gaze because it really appeals to their idea of "woman as womb-haver" and when they accuse transfemmes of sexualizing women, as men, they are projecting heavily. Because their "radical" exclusionary feminism ultimately lead them to box themselves back into the social appeals of patriarchy so much that they identify with it. I'm a woman and I do *not* like stuff made for the male gaze and I never have, and I can say the same for quite a few people I know lol.
The future of feminist critique is intersectional, not exclusionary. So-called "radical feminists" talk out against trans people vocally, but they also exclude black and indigenous people among other groups as well by omission from their narrow view of womanhood and the social role of gender. So with regards to the future of feminism we should look towards critiques from these groups! Critiques of settler sexuality and amatonormativity and the racism inherent to popular white feminism and all the other paths that have been silently shut-out by their terribly repetitive transphobic discourse.
tired: "good timezone" (can't talk about your own time of day so make it milquetoast; sounds vaguely dystopian)
wired: "good morning" (now you know i am having a morning, or i want to wish you a morning. also time is fake anyway, so you're never wrong)
inspired: "good time zone" (the zone where the good times happen, now we are partying, put on this fun hat)
