I need feminism because white feminists need to understand that intersectionality is NOT AN OPTION and neither is including trans* women in the fight.
Though no one would ever think of using the term honor violence (we reserve that descriptor for brown people who live somewhere else, motivated by religious something-or-other or tribal something-or-other), one-third of women murdered every year in the United States are killed by their intimate partners. In 2005 that amounted to 1,181 women, or three women every day. To put that in perspective, the UN estimates there are 5,000 honor killings every year in the entire world. 5,000 in a world of 6 billion versus nearly 1,200 in a single country of 300 million. In other words, a woman in America runs a greater risk of being killed by her husband or boyfriend than a woman in Pakistan.

I’ve seen a ton on the facebooks about “thanking veterans for their service.” As a veteran let me just be very straightforward and honest with you. We didn’t “serve our country”; we don’t actually serve our brothers/sisters or our neighbors. We serve the interests of Capital. We never risked our lives or spent months on deployment away from our family and friends so they can have this abstract concept called “freedom”. We served big oil; big coal; Coca-Cola; Kellogg, Brown, and Root and all the other big Capital interests who don’t know a fucking thing about sacrifice. These people will never have to deal with the loss of a loved one or the physical and/or psychological scars that those who “serve”, and their families, have to deal with for the rest of their lives. The most patriotic thing someone can do is to tell truth to power and dedicate yourself to building power to overthrow these sociopathic assholes. I served with some of the most real and genuine people I’ve ever met. You’ll never see solidarity like the kind of solidarity you experience when your life depends on the person next to you. But most of us didn’t join for that; we joined because we were fucking poor and didn’t have many other options.

When people say they like my blog I calmly say thank you with a smiley but on the inside I want to bake you a cake and make you a mixed CD filled with all your old favorite songs that you can’t remember anymore so that when you play it you feel all nostalgic and happy and then throw glitter at you because I love you.

I’m so fucking tired of having this conversation
white people cannot experience racism the same way straight cis people can’t experience homophobia
stop trying to make this about yourselves

this conversation is so old, like their shitty ideals.
I don’t take hormones and I haven’t had surgery. I’m not less Trans than anyone else. There aren’t levels you have to reach. This isn’t Super Mario Brothers…there isn’t a secret pathway through a green pipe and all of the sudden you are on a higher level of Trans.

You do not have to be perfect. You do not have to be beautiful. You don’t owe these things to anyone. Do whatever it takes for you to be happy and fuck haters.
Supporting one interest group doesn’t mean you don’t care about other people or interest groups. It means you want to raise awareness about a group that faces oppression. Egalitarianism (like what you’re describing) assumes all people start on a level playing field. They don’t. We don’t need to fight for the rights of men or white people because they are already in power. We need to lift up oppressed groups if we truly want equality.“I don’t support interest/minority groups because I support equality for all.”
I have heard this so many times and it makes absolutely no fucking sense. Interest/minority groups are not only part, but practically ALL of the “all.” If you don’t support their interests, you are…
So there’s this thing called a ‘logic fallacy’. It’s a form of illegitimate argument often used in debate or to support a person’s claim when, in fact, it does not actually support the claim at all.
One such type of fallacy is called ‘Correlation does not imply causation’.
As wikipedia…
Um. All men are in a position of power, to some extent. Sure they may have other disadvantages, but their gender is one guaranteed privilege for them. It’s kinda like how all white people are in a position of power. Or all able-bodied people. Or all cis people. Many people are privileged in some ways and oppressed in other ways. This is called intersectionality and it is not a difficult concept.
