When I say ‘dykes’, I mean ‘dykes’. As in: people who identify as dykes.
In the post you’re refering to I made it quite clear that I was writing about dykes I know and when I speak of these dykes I won’t erase or sanitize their identities by using a mainstream, tame, deradicalized word that denies the words they specifically chose for themselves to emphasize their identities and their struggles as queer marganilized working class proudly-perverted revolutionary DYKES.
Keep your fucking respectability politics to yourself.
Hmmm. Interesting post!
Anyway, I’ve seen some of my followers reblog from this freak, and I think it’s worth stating that you should probably unfollow me if you agree with them.
Hey unsurprising the pedophilia apologist (defended the age gap of a 17 year old and 24 year old in Call Me By Your Name) is terrible in other regards!
Die x2 op.
The word “pedophile” no longer means anything. Thanks!
I wasn’t going to reblog more of this but I fell like this is a moment where I need to adress something that’s been going on for a while: in the years that I’ve been on Tumblr I’ve been consistently pointing out (with large intervals because it’s not exactly the main topic of my blog) that:
- If we truly want to reduce the number of teens who experience sexual violence we need to have actual complicated conversations with teenagers about the impact of age differences on relationships, what a healthy relationship feels like and what consent feels like.
How can you teach a seventeen year old that all the loving, consentual, happy, feeling-good-about-this-forever sex they had with their early-twenty-something partner is rape and then act surprised when that same seventeen year old does not know how to speak up for themselves when someone actually really rapes them?
- Pedophilia is a word that was invented specifically to describe the attraction to prepubescent children and obscuring that by calling any relationships between an older teenager and a twenty-something ‘pedophilia’ is very harmful.
- A hysteria around pedophilia that makes age differences an impossible topic to talk about and actual desires towards preprubescent children a thousand times more impossible to talk about is not helpful. Regardless of whether you consider pedophilia a cureable mental illness or something that a person is gonna be stuck with their whole life, logically we should create a culture where people with these desires can get the help they need to cope or heal. If a person who experiences these desires can not call for help, if this person gets isolated and is subjected to a determinist ‘you are and will always be a monster’ narrative, the chance seems high that they will experience a downward spiral that eventually leads to believing they really are doomed to act on their desires.
For these opinions, and for more generally calling for better conversations about consent that are not driven by mass panic but by actually dealing with the nitty gritty of our own ability to hurt other people, people have called me a ‘pedophile apologist’ and have accused me on being a pedophile. Fun times on Tumblr.
If you’ve seen these accusations, I now present you with my actual opinions lined up so you can judge for yourself. Don’t like ‘m? block, unfollow, tell your friends. I really don’t care. I hope that when you tell your friends, you place a link to my actual opinions and don’t just vaguely call me a ‘pedophile apologist’. That would be nice. If you do like these opinions or if you don’t share them but share my desire for better conversations on these topics, let’s hang out.
