THE CHAFF PROJECT

Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great!

How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public.

Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

In practice: the goal is to make it DIFFICULT to identify trans people to target with bathroom bans, and to create many FALSE POSITIVES for businesses.

Basically, you might get accused of being trans and kicked out, because of the badge. You say: I wear the badge because trans rights matter.

You follow up with a letter to the business saying you're fucking furious because some nosy dipshit just tried to play fucking genital police with you in the loos. You know lots of trans people (don't name any, if you do) and you wear the pin in support and you're disgusted at them for allowing this.

Blame the business for allowing the behaviour.

Businesses see that their cis customers are getting bothered over a badge and may clarify trans-inclusive policies, so they can kick out the bathroom botherers instead of nice cis allies.

You only need to buy and wear the badge, and you are protecting trans people. You can be genuinely heroic. Even one cis person doing this helps, and everyone you get to join in helps even more.

perisex people waxing poetic about how anti-trans laws could theoretically affect intersex people is so pointless. they don't have to. what do you think is stopping people from abusing intersex people now? backlash from the general public who thinks it's appropriate to call intersex people hermaphrodites? the laws in the vast majority of countries that don't even consider intersex people a protected class, let alone have made any kind of intersexist abuse illegal?

whatever you think could happen to intersex people is already happening to absolutely no pushback from perisex people. we're medically raped, murdered, castrated, and selectively aborted. we face among if not outright the highest rates of sexual assault, conversion therapy, suicidality and homelessness in the queer community. stop sitting on your ass and waiting for the news of all things to tell you to give a shit. how many intersex people have to die before perisex people think it's important enough to start paying attention?

Can someone start reposting the Horse Race Tests onto Tumblr? Everyone here will love it and I’m not dedicated enough to do it

An informational comic I drew last year for my Comics 2 class, reposting it to my new account (had to jump ship from the old one unfortunately) with some minor grammar changes and learned my lesson in adding watermarks! Happy early pride :)

made her look more like a greek orthodox saint

government people will be like "yeah it was cool before but now in our state we're gonna make it illegal to uncover female breast. or biological male breast that have been altered to look female. it's not against breastfeeding though we still want lots of babies" and TERFs will be like "yay feminism!" and the trans allies will be like "hooray you affirmed trans women's genders by no longer allowing them to continue to be shirtless post transition just like cis women even though they already elected to cover up because it's gender affirming and it's culturally taboo not to! trans rights have all been won except for how dare they include trans women in an anti-woman law boooooo!" and trans guys will be like "what about how they just redefined us as legally female so they're definitely talking about us, and then specifically in response to us uncovering our chests after top surgery, they made this law? and they only included cis women to misgender us further and they only included trans women to uphold the sexist and misogynistic idea that breast that have developed beyond a certain point (like ours were/are), or that don't exist on a body that belongs to a cis male (like us too), are inherently sexual? what about how we're the only significant demographic challenging cis men's monopoly over shirtlessness?" and everyone will be like "shhhhhhhhhhhh it's just a potential implication! clearly the only targets are female (cis or trans), they said so when they called you a female! you're definitely just collateral damage. it's definitely for sure totally not the other way around at all!"

if you can recognize when "male" is a dog whistle, you can figure out when "female" is too. it's the easiest one to figure out, especially when they're side by side.

if this 5000 year old tree isn’t too old to realize that its trans neither are you

Re-listening to the entirety of TMA right now and I refuse to listen to any new TMAGP episodes until I’m done and it’s starting to kill me. What do you mean Melanie and Georgie are back in the same episode?? What do you mean they mention Jon?? Are they back in the original TMA world? Is Melanie in TMAGPs world? Currently on episode 147 and I’m binge-listening my best to try to finish before they release this weeks episode cause I don’t know if I can keep this up 😭

If you ever feel unrecognised, just know that Afghan Women keep getting further dehumanised each and every day and no one talks about it because it's not popular on social media
