YOU LITTLE SNOWFLAKE!

We yelled at him and told him to at least turn off his brights and he told us to go fuck ourselves. So one night after he came rolling back in at 2 or 3 in the morning someone smashed his headlights in with a hammer and sprayed black spray paint inside the holes. The reverse lights too as they were also obnoxiously bright.

Police came by the next day after he woke up and screamed blood and vengeance for an hour. I think we were all questioned and not 1 person knew anything.

Property management had to admit that the fake security cameras were actually fake.

Guy got his system fixed exactly the same and went around loudly bragging about it. Guy went back out to set up his camera to watch the car and went to bed. The camera was smashed from behind spray painted and again the headlights and reverse lights, with the added bonus of a side view mirror smashed and spray painted.

This time the only person who said anything to the cops was a guy who could confirm it wasn't at 5 am because he went out with a gas can and a box of matches but the job had already been done. And funnily enough saying "well I was going to do it but someone beat me to it" isn't actually illegal.

tme refers to cis men, cis women, trans men, transmascs, and other trans/nonbinary people otherwise-not-transfem, aka the people who are not the primary/directed targets of transmisogyny (except for misdirected bigotry due to being mistaken for a trans woman/transfem)

Serano's original articulation of transmisogyny in Whipping Girl isn't always very clear about this because the book, in Serano's own words, is the position of one trans woman at one point in time and is filled with personal anecdotes that she would remove had she known the book and her terminology would have taken off like it has.

However, she has gone on the record several times over the last two decades to clarify that transmisogyny as a term is meant to describe the experiences of anyone who sits at an intersection of femininity/feminine expression and real or socially perceived male identity. She has stated many times that drag queens, crossdressers / transvestites (yes people still do use that term for themselves), GNC men cis or trans, intersex people, women of color who experience the racialization of the genders, etc. are also all direct targets of transmisogyny that are not any "less than" trans women.

You cannot experience a "misdirected" form of bigotry when you are included in the process of identifying and articulating that form of bigotry. You cannot be exempt from a form of bigotry when the language meant to identify that bigotry explicitly seeks to give you a voice for your experiences as well.

Anyone who tries to diminish the experiences those groups of people have with transmisogyny by saying it's just "misdirected" and that they're actually exempt as targets of transmisogyny because they're not trans women, is explicitly denying the work of the trans woman who gave them the language they are misusing in the first place.

And just generally - a bigot attempting to harm a marginalized person does not care if they are "correct" in their bigotry. A bigot, someone actively seeking to harm, subjugate, or eradicate, marginalized people generally wants to hit as many targets as possible, not refine their bigotry. As such, the language we use to discuss their bigotry cannot be narrow. This is a concept that is commonly accepted in many racial justice coalitions and in Black Feminist works. Julia Serano was inspired by Black Feminist authors like Audre Lorde and bell hooks when she wrote Whipping Girl. As such, I think we should be applying that understanding to the concept of transmisogyny as well.

When he's about to die at the sea it's the memory of his little sister that gives him the strength to keep fighting.

Newest chapter for Cryptid Watch is up!

he once asked if my Disco Elysium tattoo was Sherlock Holmes, I told him no but kinda close, it was about a duo of older men investigating a crime. He laughed, saying he was very happy to see younger people tattooing “drawings of old men”.

now earlier this week he asked if my Jonathan Sims tattoo was, and I quote “a seraph version of jesus”.

it's finished to meeeee and i think thats all that matters
