I'm privileged cause I speak English and look white-ish before I open my mouth or people learn my name. I don't have an issue admitting that helped but goddess forbid yt people understand how their whiteness facilitated their 'achievements' eh?

The irony of crying 'boohoo why no one likes me enough to invite me to their witchy event' to 70k followers is not lost on me. I just cannot deal with White girls who are so used to being given everything on a platter -and who therefore never bothered fostering community- 1/?

In August I wrote what became my most popular essay so far, about being Arab and raised by the white side of my family. I had to go back to the village I was raised in today. I was asked what I do in my life. I should have said writer. I still don't dare claim the label, but here we are.

If you're a lesbian and find yourself attracted to a "guy" you have a moral responsibility to at least try forcefemming him first just in case

This shit genuinely radicalised me into womanhood. Would have spent years dancing around gender expansivity but if I'm just going to be seen as a spicy man but wokely by allies no matter what then I'm not giving them a millimetre let alone an inch

Yes! I was waiting for this episode! Love that Cassie already pissed off the n*Zi who deny the alt right is in witchy communities. My wonderful wife @ravengough.co.uk did an entire video essay on how the hippies-to-yuppies pipeline got neoliberalism into witchcraft 😓 youtu.be/oUJM8QkYRdc

Even as a feminist of colour I get such bad looks when I say bell hooks peddled a lot of victim blaming and I'm not surprised she's one of the black feminists who were allowed to become mainstream. Empire always allows people to rise when they still support it to a degree. I'd love to be wrong

EVERY UK MP needs to read this You are all part of a government that is creating a situation so hostile and unsafe that people are leaving the country This is not an isolated case. You have the power to do something about this.

What’s happening with the Welsh Gender Service has been covered elsewhere more eloquently but to see the main architect of all those cancelled surgeries being celebrated is absolutely ghoulish. Not a single thought for the lives he’s impacted here, in pursuit of his hatred.

On a personal note, if it wasn't for the Welsh Gender Service being set up, I don't know how much longer I might have stayed in the closet. The old system, literally actually called the gatekeeping system meant seeing CMHS to decide whether or not you got a referral. To London.

The UK is a fucking clown country I swear to god. The Welsh Gender Service, which despite its issues (it's still British healthcare after all) has been effectively shut down for not actively mulching trans people and using them to fertilise the kings lawn

When I first looked into that, I went fuck that. A few years later, now living in London, when I first started seeking mental health support I just so happened to be referred to Tavistock. I remember staring at the sign for the gender services department for 5 minutes wishing I could just walk in

Referrals have been stopped, and scheduled surgeries have been cancelled. My friend's scheduled surgeries have been cancelled. One of them was told while in their hospital bed waiting to go into the operating room. This will kill people. This will kill my friends.

What possible reason could they have for doing this? The Times wrote an article highlighting how Wales, a nation 1/20th the size of England, has had more referrals for gender affirming surgeries than the entirety of the English services. That's it. That's the whole bit.

They foolishly thought their job was to help as many trans people as possible instead of actively trying their hardest to prevent as many people as possible from transitioning. And that's what this country does, it punishes anyone who doesn't uphold the heterosexual regime

The worst person you ever met, is normally an “empathetic” reiki-healer, light worker, with a massive collection of crystals, and of course, is a proud MAGA & antivaxxer. I have meet nine of these, all white men btw, and all them Florida gays, you know… Florida-white “normal gays”. 🙄
