there are a lot of things that put alistair pinsof in the “piece of shit” category. let’s go through them one by one, shall we (tweets are read bottom to top)
He is willfully and cruelly ignorant about depression and suicide attempts, and holds Chloe in contempt for attempting to kill herself.
He misgenders a transgender woman, and defends it in a really gross way.
He is more concerned with the integrity of crowdsourcing sites than a woman’s life or a trans person’s right to not divulge their gender identity.
alistair pinsof, you are a tremendous piece of shit. go fuck yourself.
edit: i missed this one
He compared a trans woman’s gender identity to Djokhar Tsarnaev and the Boston bombings:
don’t forget about insisting reassignment surgery is non-vital
- chloe sagal, developer of indie title Homesick, started an indiegogo campaign to fund a “life-saving operation” indiegogo took the campaign down under suspicions of fraud. [src]
- chloe sagal attempts suicide a month later (last night) and according to a forum post on neogaf is recovering at the hospital. [src]
- alistair pinsof, features editor at destructoid, tweets the following:
- the implication here seems to be, therefore, that chloe’s sagal’s indiegogo was set up to fund her SRS. alistair goes on defend misgendering chloe several times by saying that “he has many transgender friends” and “[she] identified as male in real life”
i’ll save the editorialization for another post - lord knows i have plenty to say about it - but i think it’s a decent idea to have all of this in one place, so we all know exactly what the context of this is.
It scares me that I live in a country where I could be jailed for not disclosing my transition history to a partner.
it also scares me that i live in a country where i could be jailed for defending myself from someone trying to kill or rape me
there are still cis people who think cis is an acronym or means something awful and devious
yeah. you got me. and while we’re at it, i guess i should finally reveal that “straight” is Gay Devil Shorthand for “heteros who are going STRAIGHT to hell”
I’m fluent in gay devil shorthand, and that’s correct

Pretty much why I don’t watch anymore. That time when Colbert made fun of trans people, got shit for it, then next day used it to make even more fun of trans people with a fauxpology, that pretty much clinched it for me.
Then I saw Stewart, Colbert and several Daily Show contributors (John Oliver especially) laughing so hard they were almost crying at a comedy awards show where somebody was mocking Sacheen Littlefeather’s Oscar speech on behalf of Marlon Brando.
So yeah, fuck all of these shits.

today’s episode of Shitty Unfunny Assholes, starring: Ricky Gervais!
Man, Ricky Gervais, is like the funniest comedian I’ve ever seen, like man. How original.
I’m a cissy serial killer trapped in a pacifist’s body.
Ricky please stick to arguing with God on Twitter I really don’t like being compared to a gerbil thank.
If the new atheism weren’t bad enough…
it’s great how ricky gervais is so much smarter than karl pilkington that we can share a superior laugh about how much more we have been educated in dealing with “transexuals”, but secretly appreciate an unassuming idiot pleb Telling It Like It Is
for fuck’s sake i can’t even keep the sarcasm up this is the literal worst
some people, and i use that word loosely, need to be set on fire
ricky gervais and all of his pals are one of them
or
two of them? three? four? i dont know
nobody else will know once their corpses have melted together either
ok that cinches it
i have been fallin out of love w gervais for a while now but basically he can go fuck himself sideways
bombass titties be damned, this guy needs to seriously get beaten about the head and face w something hefty, maybe itll knock some goddamn decency into the dude
like come the fuck on why would anyone think this is funny
god what a piece of shit

FUCKING EXACTLY
my mother and i are currently in the midst of a passive aggressive war because she keeps donating and i keep reminding her that if i ever wound up homeless they would very happily watch me freeze to death on their stoop instead of helping me
Gender Gaslighting: Doing things to make someone think that they are wrong about their gender/s or lack thereof or doing things to make them think that they are crazy because of their gender/s or lack thereof.
Examples
Gaslighting based on gender assigned at birth:
“DFAB people are just women who want male privilege”
Gaslighting based on gender-related medical necessities:
“No-hormone? You’re just a weird guy”
“If you have a dick, even if you’ve been on estrogen for 20+ years, you’re a man”
Gaslighting based on non-binary gender/s or lack of gender:
“Genderqueers are just confused cis people”
Gaslighting based on race:
“Trans* is a white thing”
“I’ve never heard of a Black trans man!”
Gaslighting based on presentation:
“Real trans men are butch—you’re just a weird fem girl”
Gaslighting based on political beliefs:
“All REAL trans* people are anarchists”
Gaslighting based on disability:
“It’s just the BPD”
Gaslighting based on gender theories:
“Gender is a social construct, so you’re still a man”
Gaslighting based on sexual orientation:
“If you’re a lesbian, why didn’t you just stay a man? You could have been straight!”
Gaslighting based on presumed past happiness:
“But you used to love being a boy!”
Holy shit this.
Pre-coming-out gender gaslighting is why it took me so so so so sooo many years before I was even able to assert that I was trans.

Do y’all remember Eric Fehrnstrom? Well it turns out that Mr. Etch-a-Sketch isn’t just all bark and no bite when it comes to hating queer people.
Apparently Fehrnstrom was full of “glee” after finding the birth certificate of Althea Garrison shortly after she was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, effiectivally ending her political career.
Now I could go into how ridiculous it is that being transgender is regarded as such a bad thing that I could basically ruin this woman’s career (it’s something happens all the time to trans people, not just those of us in politics btdubs), but that isn’t the point here. The point here is how low this bigoted asshole would stoop to do this. The fact that he is one of Romney’s “most trusted” advisers would be enough for me to never even consider voting for him, even if I agreed with him on literally anything. You add this on top of Romney’s protest of an anti-discrimination aid for Massachusetts public schools because it contained the word “transgender”, and you have one gigantic transphobic mess.

i don’t even know what to say

then again i have a lot of aggression issues so thats sorta par for the course w me
If you don’t remember Sophie M Herold, she is a German girl, who is extremely homophobic and transphobic. She has found out LGBTQ persons names, addresses, personal info etc. And set up her own database.
Her intentions with this are harmful.
She is sending out this information, your information, your best friends information, someone you love and care about. She’s sending it to hate groups, malicious people, people with bad intentions.And if you think I’m blowing this out of proportion, people have been kicked out of homes, disowned by families and even MURDERED. Yes, murdered. Innocent people who have done nothing but love.
She has had numerous blogs and each have been removed. Tumblr staff are aware of her, and as far as I’m aware she currently doesn’t have a blog, but this does not mean she isn’t still on peoples tumblrs, asking via anon where you live, what your name is.
An email I received today. She’s sending out information of same sex couples with children so the children can be kidnapped. She entitled it “Time to strike back”. If that doesn’t suggest harmful intentions I don’t know what does.
Please be extremely careful what you post on tumblr, on twitter, facebook, anywhere. Do NOT give out your full name or your address, or even the town in which you live. Look out for one another, and don’t answer any suspicious anons. Especially if they use your name in quotation marks.
Sophie M Herold is still out there, she always will be, so please spead this message and warn people. She’s attacking in silence. We don’t need more people dying because of her actions.Thank you.
I’ve recieved messages from her on my tumblr before and she scares the fuck out of me.
please be safe, friends <3
Reblogging because this blog has a bigger audience and people need to know this shit.

this shitass is back? fuck that noise

The above article is an update. Her mother went to appeal to keep her out of the psychiatric ward and lost. She will be institutionalized because of her expression of her gender. She will be held until she conforms to male gender and then released to foster care, not her mother who was supporting her.
Please, if you haven’t signed the petition, sign it, reblog it, ask your friends to sign it. We’ve managed to get 40K signatures for a pageant model, we’ve only gotten 11K for a little girl about to have her life ruined. Lets get on the ball and spread the word.
I literally just repeated the f-word until I ran out of breath.
Let me catch my breath. I may go on a cursing spree again as soon as I get it back.
Seriously people…
WHY THE FUCK AREN’T PEOPLE REBLOGGING THIS??
not sure if i want to live on this planet any more
online petitions do jack-all but i want to signal boost for my followers
this is what transphobia looks like
