This international non-binary day I'd like to remind you that us masc non-binary people know exactly how people really feel about feminine and androgynous non-binary people as well, even if they're not saying it out loud as readily while they're excluding us x
Non-binary is non-binary. Like it says on the tin.
Solidarity not silence to all my non-binary friends, however you exist to the world ā¤ļø

think about the difference between the simple identity of 'racist' and 'doing/saying/thinking racist things'

locate the patterns and behaviours you replicate

honestly and critically assess your biases and prejudices vs the experiences of those who *are simply telling you their experiences of your behaviour*

if that's too difficult, take some time offline - it will be better for everyone, you included

so just under a year ago i whitesplained some unnecessary bullshit on here, i was being racist and there's no other way to categorise it

I'm a person who is doing what they can to be anti-racist in their life and i fucked up online, I've got to deal with that and what it means

but ffs I'm here trying to figure my shit out and any time i check in i just see the same patterns over and over

Great performance from England, best they've been so far imo and well deserved win

the team put in a huge shift, feels unfair to single out anyone but hemp, toone, russo, stanway, bronze were all just that good

on another note, irish 'anyone but England' attitudes around this world cup are really fucking tiresome

so it may be worth mentioning that ALL of the toxic reactions described in the #9ReplyGuys thread above are used by white people (including WW) against people of color all the time, especially against Black people who talk about racism. None of it is exclusive to gender harassment/discrimination.

Mastodon can be a safe place for everybody, or it can be a comfortable place for white people, but while #racism exists it canā€™t be both.

"The Toxic Manosphere of Fedi"

https://dotart.blog/welshpixie/the-toxic-manosphere-of-fedi

I wrote a thing. It's long. It has many feelings in it, and posting it is skyrocketing my anxiety which is already at pretty shit levels after this month, but I have to say it.

Thank you to everyone who's supported me through all of this, and who helped me write it, and big hugs to all of us who went through this together and are still dealing with the emotional fallout.

The Toxic Manosphere of Fedi

This will be a long post. I'm going to discuss recent fedi 'drama', particularly around Stux/mstdn.social and Byron/Universeodon, to call...

which is to say: anyone who is not prepared to interrogate that privilege to even the slightest degree does not have the perspective to be in a conversation about community or safety

maybe that person has the potential to learn and change but until they are actually putting that into action, potential or intention are worth nothing

and when i say this i am talking about myself as much as anyone, who we are is not fixed, we are all works in progress

as a white-racialised person who presents masculine, there's a wealth of privilege i have grown up with which went unexamined for the best part of 3 decades

the building blocks of colonialism are the reified reductive understandings of complex human phenomena - the core of our privilege is taking these understandings as constitutive of our identity

to challenge privilege is to challenge this identity

to fail to challenge it is to accept it and the bigotry it produces
