@YKantRachelRead I don't care if they stay or leave as long as they commit their spare resources to helping those of us who can't or won't leave. don't just run away and wash your hands of it. if you're an amerikkkan with wealth you're somewhat culpable for what this country is; put that wealth toward a better future. those who are remaining and trying to keep each other alive and well are desperate for resources right now and it's only going to get worse. it's time for people with wealth to take that seriously. -

@realpetrateal @nyx just remember, you can do a lot more damage by living for vengeance (actively) than dying for vengeance.
harden your resolve. it will be difficult but it's the circumstances we're forced into. -

@realpetrateal @nyx no idea what your IRL situation is but we all need to be forming meatspace networks with people (ideally middleclass cis people) who can order diy and people who can compound it, and all of this very much on the DL. it's a lot harder in places that aren't full of trans people but as things get worse and worse more people with privilege are going to realize that they have to throw in their lot with the lumpen.
the bigger problem is surgery. getting access to FFS and SRS has always been difficult, this is going to make it much worse.
we need to be actively building dual structure. social support, medicine, food, community defense. how this is playing out demonstrates that those of us who weren't doing so already (which is most of us, me included in a lot of ways) have been fucking up. from here on out, we need to recognize any dependence on cis society as a dangerous vulnerability that we have to work around. -

@V0idT3RR0R if I had any you can bet I'd be handing them out nonstop. unfortunately all I've got is creeping malignant cognitohazards and parasitic thoughtforms. -

"do trans men have privilege over cis women" is such an exhausting argument to see endlessly playing out. the problem is that men as a class materially exploit women; trans men are part of that dynamic. 'privilege' is a minor emergent property of oppression and trying to pit male privilege vs cis privilege when they are both situational outcomes of patriarchal domination (and both predicated on transmisogyny) is usually a waste of time at best. -

@nyx yeah it feels like a lot of the function of 80s-10s idpol academia has been to dilute direct but socially unpalatable discussions of oppression dynamics into byzantine ressentiment calculations. & then a whole generation of marginalized progressives learned that framework and have been trying to reverse engineer explanations of power dynamics from limited conceptual tools like privilege, while still stumbling on all the ways that they're libidinally entangled in oppressive structures. -

@nyx @realpetrateal this reminds me of some research I did at one point in archives of old feminist zines (65-79). there were a lot of comments about how they felt the feminist & especially lesbian movement were being actively undermined by the FBI. the radfem lesbians circa 66-73 had been organizing heavily around ending US imperialism in Vietnam, in a way that's been totally deemphasized in contemporary retellings of that era. this had led to federal disruption, probably the most infamous example of which being Gloria Steinem. but a lot of radical dykes were overall suspicious of academic involvement. they criticized academics--including Robin Morgan, Janice Raymond, and Mary Daly--of taking concepts from the radical organizing circles and watering them down for academic presentation. by the mid to late 70s a lot of their collectives had been disrupted including arrests and a whole lot of IRS fuckery, which they attributed to FBI involvement. I got the impression while reading it that the FBI's involvement was well-known and taken as a given. what was telling to me is that this shift of the late 70s precisely corresponds to the mainstreaming of TERF and SWERF politics in the US radical feminist scene, as well as dropping all serious discussion of imperialism as an issue of patriarchy. ever since learning about that I've suspected that the shift to cultural feminism was at least somewhat assisted by federal involvement.
another suspicious component in all this is where these departments even originated. by and large, all these queer studies / women's studies / black studies / etc departments are downstream of concessions made in response to militant campus building takeovers by students associated with the SDS. now obviously these students had other demands as well, most specifically ending the war in Vietnam. it's telling that the demands for minority studies were concessions administrators (with explicit DoD ties) were happy to grant. I don't at all think that most of the people in these departments are intentionally disrupting radical politics, but I think there's a great deal of institutional pressure that rewards obfuscation and punishes praxis, and the kind of shitty political theories we encounter are the emergent outcome of that.
of course I also wouldn't be surprised if I end up looking through an archive somewhere and finding out Janice Raymond or Michael Bailey interned with Jolly West.
