Left Wing - Blog Posts

3 months ago

I think a lot of people need to realize that transphobia is more than just misgendering someone. Actively treating them differently from cis people and making 'exceptions' for them is still transphobic.

Left-wing spaces irl: "We are queer&trans inclusive and will respect ur identity :D"

Also Left-wing spaces irl: "Hey, we r making a poster for a girls night event, is it okay if we put you on it? I mean, it's nonbinary incluse and stuff-"

No. I'm not even nonbinary, i am a trans man. Would you ask a cis man to be on a GIRLS night poster??? No. No you wouldn't. So why are you asking me? Just because I'm trans? What fucking difference does that make??? You pretend you aren't transphobic and see me as a man, yet you refuse to treat me like one. And imo, actions say more than empty words do.

For context, the same people also asked me whether i wanted to be part of a women's reading club and a women's self defense course a couple of months ago.

I told them, that asking trans men that is transphobic (bc apparently they asked MULTIPLE TRANS GUYS THIS) and uh they said they did it 'just incase' since 'trans guys are also like minorities and deserve to be uplifted by activities like this!!!' no. Not activities that are made for women.

If you wouldn't invite a cis gay/queer, cis man of color, or a cis disabled man, then don't invite a fucking trans guy. You are being transphobic. Stop it.

Thank fuck they at least invited trans women to these workshops, cause if they didn't i might have punched one of them. Seems like they are only transphobic to trans men apparently???? Fucking hell man.

That sounds a lot like transphobia to me.

Imo, actions say more than empty words do. It's okay to make a mistake, but if u act transphobic and refuse to listen to trans people telling you not to do this because it's transphobic, yet you continue to do it, that's transphobia.

I'm pretty sure I was more open to other people having different opinions than me as a child than I am now.

I remember being all "people can vote what they want! Voting should be anonymous! People have different opinions!" Then I turned 18 and actually had to understand my country's politics. So now I'm over here like "if you vote for any of the right wing parties you are a selfish asshole and don't deserve to call yourself norwegian <3"

Canada Isn't Perfect, So Stop Pretending It Is.

Yes, I get the desire to beat the US's rising claim to fascism and republican values, but that doesn't mean we need to base our entire image off of them. Our display of leftism and being 'progressive' is so insanely performative it makes me sick. How many times have you seen our government "apologizing", and "acknowledging" instead of actually doing shit to help the people Canada has literally killed. Yet, here we sit, content with "sticking it to american's" while thousands of indigenous women die, tortured, raped, are sex trafficked, etc. Please for the love of god, TALK about these things with your community - teachers, friends, students, neighbours, family, even online like I'm doing right now. - just start with spreading the news, which can lead to organizing, protesting, riots, getting our government to actually DO SOMETHING. If we want to fix our problems we have to first acknowledge them.

Indigenous Matter

No, Canada is not doing jack shit to help indigenous lives that have been ruined and discarded because of us. You're really just taking the government's word and sitting on your ass thinking "oh I live in such a perfect country, we do so much to help our people" WELL GET THE FUCK UP?? Pretty little words aren't helping us. TWO. TWO OF 231 CALLS FOR JUSTICE HAVE BEEN DONE. MORE THAN HALF HAVE NEVER EVEN BEEN STARTED. 11 of 94 calls to action have been done. Half are in progress. If the Canadian government needs motivation, give it to them. Show no respect, they don't give two fucking shits about us and only enjoy stroking the Canadian ego. STOP LOOKING AT THE US AND WAKE THE FUCK UP
