fun fact: the more people who buy this frog costume, the harder it is for the feds to track down who wore it to a protest.

And, you know, it IS halloween soon...

The purpose of a system is what it does. There is no mistake here. The brutality is intentional and the horror of the carcereal system lives in our hearts as a threat.

Make no mistake, when the state imprisons a trans woman in a men's prison, it intentionally procures her for the purpose of having her raped. The statistics are extremely clear-cut and consistent in every jurisdiction where they have been collected. There is no way around them

Gamers’ brains are so cooked dude. The woman on the right is gorgeous and beautiful. Straight gamer men literally can’t find normal women attractive anymore.

I think it is important for people to understand that the UK in 2025 is more transphobic now than they were in 1394 (700 years ago) when they arrested and subsequently released Eleanor Rykener in a similar case as this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John/El...

If you force someone to walk through a minefield, it's not just the mines that are at fault for killing them, it's you!

I think it's important to stress that, that these people are just fancy sex traffickers, fancy rapists, fancy murderers. Doesn't matter how much we've abstracted away the suffering that they inflict on their victims, they're just as responsible as the rapists and murderers themselves

I would prefer the death penalty over a single day in prison. Prisons are not more compassionate than death. They're just a different type of violation committed by the state

But what I truly want is tribunals for all who put a single one of us through that hell

Every judge who put a single trans woman in a man's prison is a facilitator to her rape. Every single guard in every single prison is at the very least an accessory to ALL of the rape that happens within those torture dungeons

She is the victim, she is biologically female.

The judge, the guards, the police, the man she had consensual sex with, they are ALL facilitators and accessories to her being legally sex trafficked, they're the Ghislaines of polite society

Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net · 2h

This is horrifying. Now she'll be placed with men in prison where she is at extreme risk of being raped and sexually assaulted. And then she has to register as a sex offender.

This is all because a man was ashamed he was attracted to a trans woman.

Screenshot of a BBC News article. The text describes court proceedings involving a person named Watkin, who will serve a prison sentence in a men’s facility with measures to minimize risk and maximize support. It states that Watkin must register as a sex offender for 10 years and is under a lifelong restraining order from contacting the victim. A police detective is quoted saying Watkin concealed her sex, and the victim would not have consented had they known. The article ends with the detective expressing hope that the case’s conclusion allows the victim to move forward.

Not to me; to me all women are lesbians until they directly state otherwise, because lesbianism is beautiful. (If you don't like this joke, consider why you think so, and also consider why its more popular to look at "all people are straight" and say "well all people are a little bi")

Fae’rynn (Phantom Futch) @faerynnistired.itch.io · 15h

and like, it’s easy right? it’s difficult to prove a negative. heterosexuality is the default. so if a character ends up with or has a tragic relationship with a woman in a piece of media (but nothing with men) it’s much, much, much safer to call her bisexual.

even negative interactions with men…

“you can’t accuse me of wrong doing by shipping this woman, (who only had relationships with women), with a man! you’re just a biphobic bigot!” and then sicc 5k people onto the person who was like “hey, i think that’s a lesbian.”

and i wish i was just making someone up to be mad about

well, and statistically speaking your average fandomite is cishet white woman with more than a little homophobia. ime, the defense of bisexuality by people like that is just that… a “progressive” (because being progressive is deemed desirable in fandom spaces) way of laundering lesbophobia

The guards are the facilitators, the top dog rapists of their legal sex-trafficking rings

destroy all the prisons, and keep the guards locked in them, along with its administrators and lobbyists

Prison is just state-approved sex trafficking, especially against trans women and other marginalized women

Feeding off the UK's EHRC “Trans+ people can be discriminated against” rhetoric, US politicians are no longer holding back

With no shame at all, they're now proudly and publically declaring that it's "not discrimation" for a gay person to be fired from their job for being gay

Thinking more about this, the relationship of gender clinics to trans people has always been extractive. They make money and careers off the suffering they inflict on us.

Unless we're talking about the few and far between himedanshi that aren't just repressing trans women aka female, you're wrong

We're talking about books, men don't read about actual romantic relationships between women, they'd just cry about them being lesbians the whole way through
