I used melting beads (the iron kind) and heated them in the oven. I’m erasing an entry from the Encyclopedia A-Z. The door is a symbol to me of being closed off, trapped. But when you open the door, there might be a million beautiful things beyond. It’s hard to walk through that door and be yourself. 🌈

Erasing the Encyclopedia A-Z: Burns

I’m making a blackout poem for every letter in the alphabet using the Encyclopedia as found text! Today’s poem comes from the entry for “Burns”. The poem reads:

Burns

Petition to refer to TERFs as FARTs, which stands for Feminist Appropiating Reactionary Tranaphobe

“Trans-Exclusionary-Radical-Feminist,” when you think about it, is a VERY kind term. To be called a TERF is for the person to admit that they still consider you a feminist.

But what kind of feminist excludes so many women from their movement? If you hate so many women for what they are, you really don’t deserve to be called any kind of feminist, radical or otherwise.

Anti-trans people: Stop calling us terfs it’s insulting

fattyatomicmutant, about to coin a new term: ‘K

Feminist Appropiating Reactionary Transphobe is far far more accurate too.

ima just spread this

I’m legitimately going to use this, everyone hop on board, we have to do this  FARTs, unfollow me!! 

I like this new term better. It accurately captures the implicit bigotry of excluding trans people while also not dignifying hateful people with the epithet “feminist”, which they do not deserve.

Saving that

worst thing people did was turn the incredibly personal experience of being lgbt into strict definitions and rules and then ridicule and harass others who don't fit into their neat boxes, as if that isn't what we were trying to run away from this whole time.
