believe it or not “trans men have male privilege” is actually something people are saying as part of a broader conversation about the way that trans women are treated within the community, and not just something the meanie baeddels are coming out with to be #exclusionists
it almost seems like there’s a sort of gut instinct to defend trans men who engage in transmisogynistic behavior from criticism while not listening to the women bringing it up. wonder if anyone has a word for that
It feels like this is the biggest story to still be flying relatively under the radar in the anglophone press. If a single phonecall from a racist pig American can get hundreds of your senior engineers and their families, who are only there to oversee factory construction up to spec, rounded up and sent to the Gestapo torture dungeons then suddenly it’s an open question if any Korean, Japanese (and indeed eventually potentially even European) firm will ever feel safe directly investing in the US ever again
the relevant Korean captions read:
“Handcuffs heated in the summer heat gave burns” and “feared gravely that they might lose their unborn child.”
Love when Gringos, specially from north America approach the Bolsonaro trial with “I can’t believe Brazil has more democracy than us” like we’re a bunch of savages with no laws and it’s somehow surprising to see Brazil jailing a man who attempted a coup.
It just shows you see Latinos like they’re somehow less civilized than yourself, really and it’s not the compliment you think it is
Did you know Brazil has set chairs for black people to study in college or get jobs in the public sphere? Did you know Brazil have the biggest universal healthcare system in the world? Did you know we have solid labor laws in place? Did you know gay marriage has been legalized since 2009, 5 years before it was legalized in USA? Did you know we have social name in place since 2016 so trans people can be called by their chosen names before they change it legally? Did you know we have free universities and colleges that are considered the best ones in the country? Of course not because all you guys think when you think about Brazil is gangs, drug smuggling and getting robbed because y'all think that all of Latino america is some kind of criminal paradise
Brazil went through a dictatorship backed by USA from 64 to 85. A lot of our problems nowadays happened because of that, and USAmericans have the gall to think were less civlized than then from a lack of our own instead of being systematically killed, oppressed and taken advantage of
