People will always say they’re your friend and they support you no matter what but then they’ll say some toxic shit to you like “you have to let go of the cursed amulet, it’s changing who you are” and “don’t let its power corrupt you” all because they want the amulet for themselves

In case you were wondering how it's going, JK Rowling has reached the "acephobic" stop of the radicalization pipeline

to the great surprise of absolutely no one

(and she's so much worse in the comments, fucking hell)

I'm grateful to everyone quote-tweeting her and pointing out all the ways asexuals are, indeed, marginalized and oppressed. As Thomas pointed out, they're lesser-known issues. But as an ace person, I'm more concerned with the way she completely invalidates our identity

This isn't a case of "you aren't oppressed because everyone already accepts your identity" (which we see a lot online), or the usual exclusionism. She's saying we don't have an identity to oppress. This is why she doesn't see posting hate against asexual people on international asexuality day as oppression (or, you know. wrong). The thousands of bigoted comments under her post aren't proof that people do, actually, discriminate against aces: she agrees with them, and is there riling them up.

As someone also pointed out, mocking people for not wanting sex isn't very I'm-only-protecting-women of her

I've been reporting terfs and the like on Pinterest (where they, sometimes, actually do something about it) and ace/arophobia is never far. It just got more obvious

I think it's high time to remind everyone that

it was TERF's who started the ace hate and tried to exclude aces from the LGBTQ+ community more than a decade ago

the ace community is known to love our trans siblings after all I'm sure their beef with us aces is not random.

Yeah it’s definitely not. People who’re driven to exclude others will move on to the next target as soon as they feel it’s acceptable, and with fewer excuses each time. But I think it also goes beyond that

I had already noticed that a lot of them were ace exclusionists, whether it’s faux politely framed as being “better for everyone” or outright bigoted like JK here, but also that they hate the label queer (or any identity that’s even a little nuanced, let alone a spectrum like asexuality)

TERFs (and to a lesser extent, radfems) have a very black-and-white mindset. They draw a strict line between women and men, and then build their world view on top of it. It’s one of the reasons they hate any kind of gender deviation so much, it’s people escaping from their neat little boxes. So it makes sense that they’d hate the idea of being “queer” (different, unusual, singular) so much. JKR knows that she's already driven out anyone who'd care, so she can drop the pretenses of feminism and just attack people for being different

And the reason TERFs did that is because it was easier to convince people that ace people 'aren't queer' than it was to convince people that trans people don't deserve rights. Acephobia was the Trojan horse for transphobia. Ace hate usually comes before, not after, transphobia.

The bioessentialism that weaves through TERF and radfem rhetoric is deeply tied to needing women to fuck and produce children in order to prove how biological women are the supposed best way to be because "men Can't HaVe BaBiEs!!!!!"

Ace folks are a huge problem for TERFs and radfems because "Hey, we have no desire to fuck, but we are still women," shatters a cornerstone of their beliefs about what defines womanhood.

Stand with your fellow queers, not those trying to shorten the list of 'who counts' because they've repackaged patriarchal fuckery into "wombmynhood".

This is some fan art for @welldrawnfish , love what you’ve done with the Twig story, trans gobbo is best gobbo🧌🏳️‍⚧️

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

"I actually think this character is better as a feminine boy than a trans girl" is like the trans equivalent to "strong platonic relationships between boys is more important than gay relationships in fiction"

I wish kinky sex ed wasn't so stigmatized even among left-leaning "sex positive" circles. Everyone's all "uwu I'm a sub I'll do anything you ask" okay mommy wants you to read The New Bottoming Book so you learn how to sub without hurting yourself since your sex ed up to this point is porn and your ex boyfriend Jared who liked to choke you incorrectly

I’m so glad you asked! Let me list off what I’ve got for you:

Books I personally recommend:

- The New Topping Book and The New Bottoming Book, by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy

If you’re having kinky sex at all, you need to read at least one of these two books. Point blank. They’ll teach you the very basics of negotiating properly (which is critical!), and help you identify what you are and aren’t into.

- Mindfucking Mindfully, by Sir Ezra Where this book really shines isn’t actually in helping you “mindfuck” people, it’s in taking a close look at how to do so ethically. It’s a great answer to the question “how do I get someone to consent to something and still surprise and shock them with it?”

- Real Service by Raven Kaldera and Joshua Tenpenny This is a slightly niche pick but there simply isn’t a better book on the subject. It’s written from a 24/7 M/s perspective, which is not what I do, but the book itself is an indispensable guide to giving and receiving service. The phrase “if the Master doesn’t want it, it isn’t service” will be burned into my psyche for quite some time. I love this book a lot. Maybe my favorite out of all of these.

- Enough To Make You Blush: Exploring Erotic Humiliation, by Princess Kali This one’s high on my reading list; I’ve heard it recommended by a number of people whose opinions on these things I trust.

- Pretty Much Anything Midori Has Ever Done Midori is a great resource for this stuff - I haven’t personally read much of her work, but she’s a well known sex educator and great at what she does. She’s known for bondage, but has a lot of range beyond that.

- This Negotiations Worksheet from Bex Talks Sex This is what I default to using a lot of the time for negotiations. Forget BDSMtest, you don’t need that, it’s no good. Just look through this worksheet’s wordbank with your partner. Big fan especially of the “how do you want to feel?” section.

Books I can kind of recommend:

- The Ultimate Guide to Kink, edited by Tristan Taormino This book is weird. There’s a lot of good info for experienced players, but some of what’s written here skeeves me out. I think if I had a top that thought the way some of the tops in here think, they would not be topping me for long. But there’s some good techniques and so on to pick up that I wouldn’t have otherwise. I liked the distinction one of the authors makes between being sadistic in the sense of inflicting pain and being sadistic in the sense of doing something your sub doesn’t “enjoy.”

- The Ritual of Dominance and Submission, by David English Man, this book fucking sucks. The writing and editing are garbage, and the fear and protocol play described need way more careful negotiation than he ever lets on, let alone recommends. This is some 50 Shades bullshit. The only time I recommend this book is to tops like me who tend to be very affirming to their partners and need a guide on how to really scare them - when their partner consents and when you negotiate it, which this book sucks at teaching you. Really good content on fear, punishment, and protocol play, really terrible presentation of the topic though. Don’t read this if you don’t already know what you’re doing.

- Paradigms of Power, by Raven Kaldera I love this book. Great book. Very focused on 24/7 M/s play though, and, being an anthology, some chapters are better than others. If you can’t read something and pick out what is and isn’t for you, don’t bother. But some really great inspiration, and generally pretty well written. Big fan of the discussion of leather throughout the book.

Hope some of these are helpful for people ^-^ for the average person reading this I recommend New Bottoming/Topping, but they’re all important parts of my library and I’ve recommended all of them to friends at some point or another.

May I also suggest Hell on Wheels and Kneeling in Spirit by Raven Kaldera, d/s companion books that address kink with a disability. They're a should read for everyone, imo. You never know when you or a partner are going to have changes in your body that affect what you can physically do. Temporary illness/injury and even just age can affect your sex life.

I'd like to suggest Better Bondage for Every Body! It goes really in depth on anatomy, pain processing, self-tying, and has chapters specifically focusing on how to do rope bondage on/for someone who is disabled or has chronic pain, which was really important to me.

reblogging specifically for these last additions bc I don't think I've ever seen resources for kink w/ disability

Dehumanizing bigots is bad, not because I want to be nice to them, but because they are human beings and they serve as a reminder that anyone is capable of evil ideation and action. Violent bigots are not fundamentally different beings from you. They are human beings, who have developed a reactionary and destructive belief system due to their circumstances combined with their biases. In a different timeline, that could've been you. Anyone can be radicalized. Nobody is immune to propaganda, not even the person reading this.

There is a difference between 'thinking critically about the kind of things that lead to a person becoming a nasty piece of shit' and 'you're not allowed to say bad things about people who are pieces of shit.'

The OP is NOT saying 'don't call bad people assholes uwu.'

The OP IS saying 'don't portray every evil person as a stupid, subhuman, knuckledragger who is incapable of having a braincell between their ears' because doing that undermines the intent behind their actions.

If we treat bigots as some anomalous species, we are ignoring the machinations in society that churn out hateful bigots.

As a minister once told me the Holocaust was not done by people from Mars. It was done by people like us. That’s why we have to be on guard.
