As an advid watcher of Teen Titans when I was a child and having all the seasons on DvD and regularly watching them, I have no issue with a black woman playing Starfire and neither should any of you.
What is so nuts about identity politics is that the words you use to identify yourself don’t have to have anything to do with who and what you actually are. Case in point women who “identify” as lesbians who also are comfortable having sex with male genitalia. Instead of thinking “I am okay with both vaginas and penises in my sex life I must actually be bisexual, not lesbian;” they think “I’m a lesbian who likes penises as well as vaginas, therefore lesbians can also like penis.”
Identity politics is all about wanting to assume some attribute you think is cool and then just saying you are the thing you are not but wish you were. After that if anyone questions you do mental gymnastics so that stating a fact is an act of hate against the group you wish you were part of but are not but now pretend to be and sheesh why isnt that enough?
everyone is deleting the caption to this but this work is called “perfect lovers” by the gay artist felix gonzalez-torres. the piece is about the illness and death of his HIV-positive partner ross laycock:
For Untitled (Perfect Lovers) (1991), he synchronized two industrial clocks placed side by side. Inevitably, because batteries fail and things tend toward entropy, the clocks would slowly begin to advance at differing rates, out of sync, having moved, however briefly, perfectly together. (x)
Honestly, this guy is one of my favourite gay artists. His installation “Untitled (Portrait of Ross in L.A.)” is literally a pile of candy people are allowed to eat, but whichever gallery is hosting it has to keep it at the same total weight by replacing the pieces. Why? Cos it’s Ross’s ideal body weight and eating the candy parallels his deterioration and weight loss due to an AIDs-related illness, whilst the replacement of the candy grants him perpetual life.
“KILLER: Ian Huntley is wearing a wig and make-up in prison and wants people to call him Nicola“
But offenders must pass rigorous psychological tests to show they genuinely want to change sex and are not just looking for special or cushier treatment. Huntley, who killed best friends Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells, has been wearing eyeliner and trying to get hold of women’s clothes to wear.
One source said: “Huntley went on the wing wearing a blonde woman’s wig and just carried on like it was nothing unusual.
He’s also told everyone to call him Nicola and doesn’t want anyone calling him Ian anymore.
No one could quite believe it. First of all, there was a bit of laughter then the atmosphere turned nasty.
The wig has now gone but Huntley is feeling very vulnerable. He has also been wearing eye-liner as well.
Word quickly went round that someone was going to attack him with a mixture of boiling water, sugar and bleach.
Since then he never goes anywhere without a prison guard. No one has got a problem with transgender people – prisoners tend to have a ‘live and let live’ attitude, but not with Huntley.
No one actually believes he wants to be a woman – he just wants to get out of a male prison.”
BEST FRIENDS: Huntley killed Jessica Chapman and Holly Wells
Dude that’s literally the only reason men in prison become trans so they can get out of men’s prison and continue to rape and murder women.
it was also well recorded that Huntley was violently abusive to women he was in relationships with (someone recalls seeing him pull his girlfriend into a headlock and punching her in the stomach) but apparently that along with the fact that he murdered two girls isn’t enough to keep this fucking piece of shit out of women’s prison. i hope that boiling water attack goes along smoothly, he deserves so much worse.
Lmao is anyone surprised that the oldest woman still alive says the secret to staying alive is avoiding men?
Men are the reason for like 80% of my stress, it’s obligation and attraction/love that keeps a total of like, a handful of men in my life and sometimes it’s still too much 🙃
Who’da thunk that being around a group of people who see you as less human than themselves and who’ve been brought up to think you owe them something because you have a vagina.. would be bad for your health?
