I'm happy that someone called me out on my lack of knowledge of #Intersectionality but I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't tell me where I was wrong.
This is a subtoot because I'm not interested in #sealioning anyone. Let's assume good faith on all sides. Think of it like this: I'm still going to recommend that people other than women or feminists learn about it. If I'm going to make a fundamental error or mischaracterise things, I genuinely want to know about that. Otherwise, I'm going to continue to pass on my faulty understanding.

CW: excellent politics-explainer thread
@artemis laying out how political awareness is fundamental, in particular for poor people, and not a luxury or "virtue signalling" reserved for rich people with no other problems, etc:

CW: USPol: Domestic policy improvements WILL improve foreign policy situations.
I'm going to say out loud, I totally disagree with the notion that solving our #DomesticPolicy situation in the #US isn't also going to solve the #ForeignPolicy situation. I think it's obvious and straightforward that the foreign policy issues are directly caused by the domestic policy issues.
#Americans do not want to be a nation of conquest, we do not want to send our troops to die in #war, we do not want to pay money to bomb people who would never harm us, and we certainly do not support the violence are government does simply for the profit of a few #billionaires.
Pretty much all of the #violence that comes out of the #USgovernment, both domestic and foreign, is a direct result of the massive #inequality of wealth and power. If we can further democratize the #government, weaken the grip of the propaganda machine in the mainstream media, and/or further restrict the power of the #BillionaireClass and their government officials, a cessation of all this violence on behalf of the billionaire class will stop as a simple matter of logic.
That is basic #intersectionality.

I'm watching a time travel / past life / alternate timeline story (I'm being fuzzy on identifying details because I don't want to spoil it for anyone), and I've finally hit the beat where the female lead explains to the male romantic lead why she knows what she knows...
...AND HE BELIEVES HER. 🔥
This is truly one of my favourite tropes and one of the hottest scifi/fantasy + romance tropes of all time.
Is this because women and other marginalized people are so rarely believed and supported by cis men / members of dominant cultural groups? Yes, it is: we are hungry to be seen and believed.
Want to knock the socks off of marginalized people (or at least this girl)? Listen to us, believe us, and trust our authority and expertise regarding our lived experiences (vs mansplaining, gaslighting, ignoring, etc.)
This is truly top tier hotness and sexiness. 💋
*If you want to share your recommendations for stories with these kinds of dynamics in the mentions, please put them under a CW so there are no spoilers for people who want to leave that as a surprise. Ta! 😘

As a feminist, who has been in many different kinds of relationships with cis, hetero men, after decades of analysing the patterns of them, I found a common theme and I know that I am not the only woman who came to that conclusion. In my experience this is true for all cis, hetero men, not matter if you are neurodivergent, progressive, even call yourself a feminist.
You are all way too comfortable with women doing all the work for you, while not even being aware of it, while not even acknowledging it, at least not to the full extent. In my experience there are no exceptions to this.
This is the reason why the song "Labour" by Paris Paloma resonates with so many women, this one of the many reasons why women simply give up on dating cis, hetero men.

«Not Your Rescue Project: Migrant sex workers fighting for justice»
👤 Chanelle Gallant 👤 Elene Lam
🗓 2024-11-12
📔 Haymarket Books 🛒 https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2258-not-your-rescue-project
🌐 Website: https://www.notyourrescueprojectbook.com> A landmark abolitionist primer on migration, sex work, policing, and the “anti-trafficking industry”—and a powerful argument about who is really leading the way toward justice: migrant sex workers themselves.
> In this impassioned corrective to decades of misguided, carceral approaches to migration and sex work, long-time organizers Chanelle Gallant and Elene Lam deftly expose the harms of criminalization in the name of “anti-trafficking” and lift up migrant sex workers’ organizing in the US, Canada, and elsewhere. In doing so, they make the compelling case that the only effective response to the needs of migrant sex workers must be led by migrants in the sex trade, as they fight for rights, safety, and autonomy.
> Gallant and Lam illustrate how this movement is taking aim at the root causes of violence and abuse: the white supremacist securitization of borders, the criminalization of both migration and sex work, the patriarchial devaluation of women’s labor, and forced displacement due to climate disaster, war, and poverty—all fueled by racial capitalism.
> An indispensable exploration of the relationship between migration and sex work—and the underlying societal conditions they reflect—Not Your Rescue Project is a thorough indictment of the anti-trafficking industry as an engine of criminalization and state violence, and an instructive account of the emancipatory politics already being practiced by migrant sex workers in their organizing. Throughout, Gallant and Lam place migrant sex workers at the center of struggles against border imperialism, carceral states, and capitalism—dispelling a range of poisonous myths and paving the way for deeper alliances across movements with the shared goal of dismantling and abolishing carceralism in all its forms.

It still baffles me how many people believe, that understanding other people’s perspective is the one size fits all solution for inner peace. Usually that comes from a position of privilege, the level of understanding of “It happened to me that I took something personally, but then I understood the other persons perspective and realized that it was not about me and that made me feel better.” Ironically this believe is the result of a limited perspective, of the limited understanding of other people’s lived reality.
Like so many other autistic people, understanding other people, their motives, their behavior, understanding how this world works has always been a strong interest of mine. And it is helpful and necessary for emotional maturity and personal growth, communication and relationships, don’t get me wrong.
I do believe that humans are inherently good, like Rutger Bregmann elaborates in his book “Human Kind” and that it is a complex combination of individual and systemic factors that makes people do bad things. But that is exactly the point. Whose perspective is valid, heard and relevant in this society is a question of power, hierarchy and privilege and intent doesn’t magically erase harm. I wrote about this empathy gap when it comes to power dynamics a few years ago and a mutual, @Newstrujew nailed it with the sentence “At a certain level of power, empathy becomes completely optional.”
So as an autistic woman I am at a point where understanding others people’s perspective often doesn’t give me peace, because it usually reveals their ignorance. I want them to understand and validate mine.

CW: Emergency surgery, medical trauma, extreme pain (that happened to me today)
I didn't interact with you today, because I had an emergency surgery on anaesthesia today. I am back home now and ok. I fought an ableist, misogynistic health care system today, they sent me through hours of hell, but I won. Now I am tired, but I will write about it as soon as I have the capacity for it.

"The stereotype of a leftist person as an over-intellectual, upper middle class, white person with an oat cappuccino doesn’t come from nowhere. Often our communications achieve little more than virtue signalling to our allies."
"I cannot picture a ‘post-neoliberal society rooted in fairness.’ But tell me that I could wake up each day and hear birds outside my window again, and that I can cycle safely to work on clearly-marked bike lanes. Tell me about a world where the rise of job-shares and redistributed wealth means that I only have to work 20 hours a week and finally have the time to make doctor’s appointments, check up on my friends and neighbours, read books and get involved in local issues. Tell me that I won’t worry about who made my clothes or prepared my food".

Want to know what our team was up to in the 38 degree weather at the end of June? ☀️
We joined a #communication workshop led by Zahra Nedjabat, Head of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at DW.
Among other things, we explored #intersectionality and how to communicate consciously at work.
We all process the world differently – and that’s exactly why inclusive communication and sensitivity matter.

CW: Short rant about the judgement of people's consumer choices
This is not a „I am vegan therefore I can use AI” post, but some of you really have to calm down when it comes to criticizing people’s consumer choices.
Can consumer choices make a difference? Yes. But it’s not yours to judge people for them. This is not only true for disabled people, this is true for everybody. If you don’t understand that some people, for whatever reason, don’t have the capacity to question everything they consume, you look down on people from a point of privilege to feel morally superior, to make scapegoats, that is not a progressive attitude.
If you want to make the world a better place, explain things to people, offer solutions, show them a path, but leave it up to them if they want to choose it or not.

CW: Facism, German politics, disability
Fasicm isn't only swastikas and concentration camps. Facism is when politicians, their politics and their propaganda frame and treat a huge group of people as expendable. The immigrants, the disabled, the unemployed. They make life harder for everyone and frame them, us as the scapegoats. Facism is already here in Germany. It never fully left.

@softicecreamlesley Thank you for agreeing to have your post featured and for sharing your story. Reading it made me feel anxious and uneasy, too. Being physically touched without consent is a major terror in public spaces; it is frightening that even a bathhouse offers no immunity from this. This is precisely why I believe this is such a serious issue. Perhaps the first thing we need to convey is the importance of respecting everyone as a human being.

@softicecreamlesley I felt that what you shared was incredibly important.
Would it be alright if I introduced our exchange on a Japanese platform called "note"?
I’d like to translate it into Japanese so that more people can understand what is happening.
I hope they will realize that true respect means trusting others to manage their own lives independently, rather than shouting "Dangerous!" based on one's own discomfort.

@softicecreamlesley that sounds like a truly terrifying experience, Lesley. I’m so glad your injuries didn’t get any worse.
I’ve had plenty of dangerous encounters with passersby myself, so I can really relate to what you went through.
And thank you for your kind words. Regardless of whether someone has a disability or not, they deserve to be respected as an independent individual. It seems there are still many people who don't understand that.

As I passed a small swamp, a tremendous splash echoed. Thinking as a blind, it might be a shark, I jokingly told my caregiver, "Let's escape!" Dark clouds and rumbling thunder chased us home. Ten minutes later, a downpour began. We were lucky to escape it, and lucky not to meet a bear--just another day in Japan. These small moments are what give us the strength to overcome difficult times.

As a result, I have become so anxious that I am unable to attend my regular checkups for cancer recurrence, and the mental impact has been severe.I feel that reports of sexual violence against disabled people in Japan are only the tip of the iceberg. Many experiences never become visible, never become news, and never receive meaningful responses.

I believe I have replied to all the welcoming messages on my first post. If I happened to miss yours, it was purely by accident!
When I created this account, I was struggling with many challenges as a blind woman in Japan, and I was looking for ideas to solve them. However, I am now so happy to be connecting with such wonderful people here.
Perhaps I just needed a place where I could be accepted for who I am. Thank you all so much.

Today is day 10 of the LGBTQ alphabet series: Wrapping up with a number and a letter to represent indigenous people.
2S is for Two-Spirit.
While the term Two-Spirit or 2S is relatively new, Two-Spirit people have always been part of North American Indigenous culture. They are part of the Queer community and deserve acceptance and respect everywhere.
The general understanding is that "Two-Spirit" as a pan-tribal umbrella term came into being at an inter-tribal gathering in Winnipeg in 1990. The term is meant to honor diverse traditional gender roles within Indigenous cultures before European contact.
For Indigenous people and allies, de-colonization is more than history. It is seeing past Western concepts of the male/female binary and embracing one's true self as understood by one's heritage.
As a late blooming white Bi male my knowledge of "Two-Spirit" is minimal, so I used Gemini AI to research and verify accuracy and respect. If you’re interested in learning more, refer to the resources linked in the main Substack article.
Regards ~ Jim
