I’m not seeing any naked adults in that screenshot…
…There’s something deeply messed up about how breasts, which are used by our species to feed babies, are considered to be so perverse and obscene that a child should never see them.
There aren’t any naked people in the entire video clip. There’s some people that you’d probably see less of their skin on a beach, but only because on a beach they’d probably be wearing a bikini top as well as whatever else they have on. And this is New York City, where toplessness is legal regardless of gender or assigned sex.
Toplessness for breasts is legal in most places in the US, unlegislated in almost all that remain, and only illegal in two states: Ohio and Tennessee.
This is because topless equality has been a basic push from feminists for literally decades, until Radfems and NeoCons bonded over wanting a trans genocide less than a decade ago.
It’s literally why the “no tits on tumblr” and other lesser SESTA/FOSTA consequences* like it were so jarring. It set back FORTY. YEARS. OF PROGRESS in the rights of people with breasts or perceived as women to wear the same clothes as people without.
Do not let conservatives lie to you about this. The majority of people in the us and the VAST majority of States recognize the right of people to not wear a damn shirt. It isn’t obscenity, it isn’t even nudity, it’s just something pericis men are allowed that everyone else isn’t.
Y'know.
Basic sexual discrimination.
*Y'all aren’t still on that “it was the Apple app store that caused the tit ban” shit, right? It was the literal US federal government. To be fucking clear.
look, not to be a downer, but… why are we making omegaverse jokes about this.
this article is about how Ron DeSantis is leveraging people’s hatred for trans men to fundraise for his presidential campaign:
DeSantis has leaned heavily into the culture war issues — which have become central to his campaign — such as the repeated emails mocking the idea of men getting pregnant. Some transgender men do become pregnant. DeSantis also sent more emails mentioning “woke” than any other candidate.
I know people love “haha omegaverse” jokes but. I REALLY need people to realize that its a microagression against trans men. Pregnant men can face extreme amounts of transphobia, and are in a highly vulnerable situation, and they are being used as a symbol of wokeness by Florida’s fascist wannabe. And it makes me upset to see other trans people seeming to not take this seriously.
Like. ask yourselves why “pregnant men” immediately conjures jokes and absurdity to you, instead of real people that exist and who Ron DeSantis hates? When you see “pregnant man” and your first thoughts are omegaverse porn and “cis men getting pregnant,” you are also mocking the idea of men getting pregnant. And you do so while erasing trans men from the conversation. You make male pregnancy into an absurdist joke about cis men instead of a reality for trans men.
There doesn’t seem to be a single person in the notes of this post who has mentioned trans men. Its just jokes about heat suppressants. People acted shocked and bewildered by the idea of a pregnant man. On “the trans website.” That fucking hurts.
I cannot feel safe around people for whom “pregnant man” is nothing but an absurdist punchline. It hurts to see other trans people erasing transmascs from the discussion, especially when this article is SPECIFICALLY about how DeSantis is emailing people to say “hey, don’t you think pregnant "men” are delusional and a threat to American society? Me too! Give me money so I can terrorize them via the government!“ This is not the first time I’ve seen people do this with pregnant men (immediately jumping to "haha pregnant cis men!! omegaverse!!” jokes without even mentioning trans men at all. Even though we are men that can and do get pregnant. In real life. And are abused for it) but its the first time I’ve seen it done in response to a very clear act of targeted anti-transmasculinity, and this. Hurts.
I don’t know how y'all think you can combat transphobia if you can’t take seriously the issue of male pregnancy. Because transphobes are clearly very interesting in using pregnant men as a weapon, and I would hope y'all would step up for them. We have to acknowledge that the “haha thats so weird and absurd and gross!!!” response to male pregnancy is transphobic and it hurts trans men a lot.
You know what? Yeah. These are excellent points, and I am sorry and feel genuinely bad about this.
I think being surrounded by transphobia so constantly has sort of caused my brain to need even just a second of relief by mocking the people who have been leading the large scale societal violence against us, but this wasn’t what I should have done. I thought it was direced at my oppressor, but in my clouded judgement I accidentally hurt my brothers.
I shouldn’t have - as a trans woman - stepped out of my lane to make this kind of joke without considering the impact on trans men or trans masc people. It was a cheap joke that engaged in transandrophobia.
I understood DeSantis was talking about trans men, but I went for the 1 second of relief and ended up throwing trans masc people, people I deeply care about as a part of my community, under the bus in my carelessness. I’m sorry.
Also thank you @genderkoolaid I know I’m not directly reblogging you, I’m including both replies because those both illustrate really well what happened.
my gf just ripped some ungodly ass that had my eyes watering i mean absolutely noxious it was so bad i made her leave the bedroom until she was done and i opened the window and shoved my head out so i didn’t throw up breathing in the tainted air of our once peaceful bedroom.
anyways once it dissipated and i got back into bed she walked back in and looked me in the eyes and said “sorry for farty rocking 🥺”
twitter is going to be shut down. half of reddit is locked or completely unmoderated. the entire first page of google search results are ads. tumblr does not and will never have a functioning search system and their content moderation is 100% automated. youtube only shares ad revenue with people who make snuff films for Youtube Kids. facebook is selling your grandma’s social security number under the table for like $5. web 2.0 is completely dead right
what i love about the queer women rep in tlt is that so much of it is just like. gideon reading her titty magazines but getting zero action. ianthe trying to kiss harrow and getting rejected. harrow begging a hallucination of a corpse to have sex with her and getting rejected. marta turning down judith, judith turning down corona, corona unsuccessfully flirting with camilla. nona’s one-sided attraction to corona and camilla. camilla’s third-wheeling (x3) and plain lack of interest in getting it on with anyone. gideon and ianthe fighting over harrow when they’re both losing out to a frozen ice bimbo. ‘but she never gave you anything. you never got anywhere.’ ‘did you???’ << honestly sums it up.
