Eyo, Mastodon ~ Any #girlslikeus on the line? I'm feeling alienated everywhere I go. Trans community around here is all transmasc ppl mostly, queer community is all afab (and oblivious to transmisogyny) and feminist community still treats me like a second degree citizen.

How do you deal with that? I mean. I'm feeling down tonight and need a pat on the back, but also, I'm serious about taking life advice if anyone out there has tips.

Eyo. I dag er jeg så i Politiken med et debatindlæg om regeringens LGBTI-handlingsplan og det der "videnscenter" om transkønnede, som jeg synes er en rigtig dårlig idé, i hvert fald hvis det bliver lagt hos Sexologisk Klinik som jo har begået deciderede menneskerettighedskrænkelser mod transkønnede.

Og så har jeg skrevet det sammen med Mr. Gay Denmark 2018! Niels Jansen. 🦄 🚂

Oh yeah, btw, I wrote a thing (it's only in danish so far) on
*desexualization*.

Also, if you are in Copenhagen on the 23th, join us for SlutWalk!

Ehhh. Sorry for not tooting for a month. I'm still alive I promise. Hiii ~ Mastodonnn

Ay masto friends, got any good slogans for a SlutWalk? I'm organising one.

So it seems transgender tweeters took over the hashtag #peaktrans - a hashtag that TERFs have tried to establish as a thing to mock trans folk with (mostly transfemme, but I guess everyone is included).

Now it's just full of sarcastic jokes from transgender people. Amazing times to be alive, innit. 🥒🚂

Now, I am pretty resilient to this tactic, because I am a well known trans woman and activist in both feminist and queer groups as well as national politics.

So a lot of people quickly jumped to my defence.

But for someone less "popular", this could have big consequences on their social life. Especially if folks in the community who don't know them prior to accusations would become skeptical, because "what if the allegations were true"?

The main tactic employed was claiming that I was a "known abuser" in the community. Had been abusive towards lesbians in womens only spaces. Subjected others to online harassment. Was known to be very aggressive in online debates and "not holding back".

They also claimed to posses screenshots as proof, but couldn't produce them when journalists went digging and checking up on their claims.

Recently I've been the target of a coordinated smear campaign by transphobes after the release of an interview with Amnesty International on online harassment against women and minorities.

The smear campaign has been dealt with and I've been on the radio to talk about it and all. (Everything was on facebook and in Danish anyway)

I would like to hear if others have similar experience? The attackers do not know me. Is this a common tactic?

This was last weekend when DO:TOPIA did a hack-your-plants workshop, programming arduino and raspberry pi to control an automatic watering system ~

Welcome to our newest users on mastodon! I see a lot of new members signing up (particularly at switter.at) due to censorship of sex workers on Twitter. I hope you will find a nicer community here in Mastodon. Let's build a better internet together ❤️ ☂️
