Remove yourself from the conversation: insert those whose opinions are relevant. Grasp that those who suffer know the most. There is a reason behind our suffering: nothing in this world is random.
Understand that every aspect of this system that is allowed to flourish has a purpose in keeping it going. Academia is, at the end of the day another business allowed to exist and enact authority via fiat currency and spread and enforce nationalist propaganda. We need to improve how we teach so that everyone can have a teachable moment.
Those most oppressed by the system are the most knowledgeable about how it works and how to fight it; experience through exposure; suffering. Ignoring us is an active attempt at being counter revolutionary. Contributing to our silence is fascism.
I want to stop suffering.
Make an active attempt to be inclusive.
Platitudes are not enough: we suffer no matter how many nice words you say. We suffer worse if you’re silent. We kill ourselves if you join in on the hate. You need our hands to open your chains: don’t self sabotage.
We’ve felt the intense emotional pain from experiencing it all. The mental trauma and deprivation of emotional processing power. Don’t let our trauma be wasted.
Strangled by the system and its useful cogs: if you’re reading this, that’s most likely you. The goal is to effectively, efficiently, and effortlessly silence anyone who experiences enough of the system to understand it through violence perpetuated by the state or the trauma from seeing it. This system prioritizes keeping those in power in power.
It’s working.
Men are in an unrealized position of social hierarchy.
A cultural obsession with sex places them in the spotlight. The system is designed to make it difficult for them to not exist in the beneficiary class. They’re assumed to be competent at anything until they prove otherwise.
The further you stray from the norm the more oppressed you become: the more violence you experience. By hand of the state, by those traumatized by the system into doing it, or those misled by authority into thinking you are the enemy and not the byproduct of a system prioritizing profit over persons.
Our perceived gender dictates the societal expectations associated with your existence. Men perceive us as a double-sided threat; “trap”. Just chicks with dicks looking to trick them into being gay. Everything about that is wrong other than the fact that some of us have girldicks.
Abolish authority.
Disabled Trans woman of color are the key to unlocking our chains.
We’ve seen oppression on all 3 axes — race, sex, intelligence— to its fullest extent. Our mouths are squeezed shut the tightest of any by this violence-breeding hellscape. Our very existence is an act of defiance to everything wrong in this world.
We don’t possess male privilege but we’ve still socialized as a perceived male and have first hand knowledge of male socialization and male culture. Transitioning places us in a position where we have to adapt or die: learn female culture from the absolute bottom or die trying. Every trans woman still existing is a gift to this earth.
The human is stripped from us by nature of our transness. We’ve experienced the fight to humanize yourself against the force of racism on its hardest difficulty and understand how to do it if we’re still on this earth: violence, perceived violence, threat of violence, or capital.
Who best to open the lock than the person its supposed to be keeping out?
