Mastodon social is continuing to have problems with racist, Islamophobic pro-Israel accounts. Latest one is WeAreTITANs
Just check out their account, it's all pretty obvious

@pmonks because obviously people dying of fucking AIDS should have to cover the bill 🙄

@siege if a drug helps my PTSD then i'm going to end up pretty psychologically dependent on it, because PTSD is fucking shit

I think it's really important for us trans women, especially us white ones, to learn about how womanhood has been used in other systems of oppression. The roles of white women in upholding white supremacy, richer women in class structures.
These are patterns of behaviour that I don't think we should recreate

We come to womanhood from a different place to cis women. This gives us a different perspective to build from in finding better ways to be women
I've heard multiple cis women talk about learning about womanhood from the trans women in their lives

Basically if you're a white trans woman look up some Black women's critiques of white womanhood and ask yourself if you really want to do that shit

@siege I wouldn't, he is obviously wrong. Just cause there's a biological effect doesn't mean it exists for any reason. Biology is fucking messy
If you look around I'm sure you can find someone with the relevant PHDs who has dealt with the claim

@siege WTF? it binds to serotonin receptors, which is a neuro-transmitter
the fact that some other chemicals other than the specific chemical the receptor has evolved for will interact with receptors is entirely expected based on how biochemistry works

that argument is garbage. it's like saying that the fact that tetrodotoxin interacts with sodium channels shows that we evolved to have tetrodotoxin in us

drugs are just poisons that have interesting effects in low doses. and people who are into them recreationally should stop trying to make it sound natural, spiritual, or whatever other BS they are on

@siege and even if you don't end up getting surgery you've still learnt a new way to get off!

@siege It's good for them they are cute when they don't piss on things

@siege sometimes the kind thing to do is to point out they have just called our existence for the last decade+ horrible and maybe they should fuck off about it and deal with their shit themselves

i remember people talking about the flood of baby trans back when i was one, and the number has only increased. it's nice, but also tiring dealing with them all

Hi kitten, I would like to type this email

@seachanger @BlackAzizAnansi yep, hopefully the mods over there act quickly

Why does @Tusky not seem to have a forward to home instance option for reports?
