@HeckTheCistem @laura

I pretty much agree with everything Laura said. I like when it's a space for people to queer gender and make fun of oppressive gender conventions. I dislike when it's used to mock or invalidate trans women, which sadly feels frequent to me. I've also had the experience of cis male drag queens treating trans identity like a costume or kink

@HeckTheCistem well there's a can of worms is my first impression. I generally don't like drag shows cause I've experienced a lot of transmisogyny in connection to that, but then it can also be really cool and for some trans women especially a space to discover themselves. So it's kinda hard. I stay away from it but also really appreciate how queer it can be when not pandering to hetero- or cissexism.

i think people conflate identity politics with identity--politics reductionism. folks should be clearer that identity politics is good and central to materialist analysis but identity-politics reductionism (idpol that ignores class) is bad

This organisation does incredible things for trans people in Malaysia (all run by trans people) and they're raising money to set up a home for elderly trans folk: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/seed-t-hub-home-for-elderly-trans-people-transgender/x/11287#/

Hey, some folks have figured out how to spin text in toots. That's fine, but if the portion you're spinning leaves the display region then it starts taking on a strobe effect and might be an epilepsy trigger.

Therefore, please hide your spinning text behind content warnings.
