No sé si os acordáis que en verano me fui unos días de las redes por un hilo que me dejó muy mal cuerpo. Es este, de la Etxe, justificando una agresión a una mujer trans, llamándolo "autodefensa".

 Ahora que se lamenta de que la acosan mientras participa en una campaña de acoso y derribo, quiero arrojar luz sobre las barbaridades que defiende.

AVISO de que hablo de agresiones y muertes. Y el hilo es largo porque hay datos. Agradezco difusión y tal.
A esta mujer, Lara Rae, dos borrachas le pegaron una paliza usando karate, le lesionaron la muñeca y llamaron a un hombre para que la siguiera golpeando. ¿Su delito? Usar el baño.
La Etxebarría justifica el ataque diciendo que es un instinto que tienen las Mogeres de verdad cuando ven a alguien a quien no deben usar el baño. Gritar, insultar a alguien y golpearle entre dos hasta lesionarle porque crees que no debería estar es una reacción instintiva.
Llamaron a un hombre para que la golpeara, pero el hombre se fue. Siguieron insultándola, incluso después de que llegara seguridad. ¡Pura reacción instintiva! Seguramente, ser un par de borrachas violentas y tránsfobas no tuvo nada que ver.
El hilo continúa comparando la apariencia de la mujer agredida con las pintas que tiene una mujer trans "correcta" para que no la usen como piñata si quiere mear.
Múltiples cirugías, varios años de hormonación, maquillaje, pelo largo, vestido, aspecto femenino. Eso son miles de dólares y transición temprana, a la que tanto se oponen.
Detalle guay: dice que es lo que una mujer trans tiene que ser para poder ir al baño. NO para que la reconozcan como mujer. También: ¿a partir de qué punto de la transición dejan de estar justificadas las agresiones "instintivas"?
¿Cuando llevas dos años de hormonación? ¿Cuando te pones pechos? ¿Cuando te pones falda y tacones? Espera, ¿no es eso un estereotipo autoginefílico pervertido que se ríe del sufrimiento femenino?
Pone otra vez la foto de la mujer trans "incorrecta" para dejar claro el poco passing que tiene.
Utiliza también el "imagina que te está esperando a la salida". No sé, Karen, a lo mejor solo quiere mear.

Y como ejemplo del peligro usa... tíos cis que en ningún momento fingieron ser mujeres trans.
Sobre lo de "personas como esta", Lara Rae pasó por todo el proceso de cambio y tiene ID femenina, que intentó enseñar. La golpearon igual.
https://t.co/nUFyjSmW6y
(CW asesinato) Caso relacionado: a Alexa Luciano Ruiz, una mujer trans sin techo, la mataron después de usar un baño de mujeres. Difundieron su vídeo y la estuvieron acosando durante horas. Me pregunto si fue una reacción instintiva también.
https://t.co/aaMPxnpuSD
Fijaos cómo el criterio de "tiene pinta de tío, así que es peligrosa" afecta desproporcionadamente a gente con pocos recursos. No todo el mundo puede permitirse cirugías de feminización facial, hormonas, ropa femenina ni maquillaje.
(CW violencia) Aquí las terf de Portland están celebrando cómo se pegó una paliza a una mujer trans después de usar el baño de mujeres. Fijáos cómo piden que ojalá se pudiera hacer eso en América.
La historia es falsa. (AVISO VIOLENCIA) La mujer trans es Dandara dos Santos. Un grupo de hombres la sacó a rastras de su casa, la golpearon hasta dejarla medio muerta, la torturaron y vejaron y después la ejecutaron de un tiro mientras rogaba por su vida.
https://t.co/p0VjOfRUpc
Las terf estuvieron difundiendo mentiras para justificar su asalto. ¿Cuál es su reacción al ver la tortura de otro ser humano?
Nota: si encontráis el vídeo, no lo veáis. Es horrible.
Este es el secreto: si construyes la identidad de alguien como una amenaza, en seguida puedes justificar todo tipo de violencias hacia ellos.

Entretanto, vamos a ver las estadísticas de mujeres trans asaltando a mujeres cis en baños. Es cero.
https://t.co/up9IHF3nod
En serio, cero.
https://t.co/G0BfM7U3bA
Pero quería volver a una observación del hilo sobre mujeres trans aceptables o no en los baños.
¿Querría decir que para las terf, es razonable atacar a mujeres cis si tienen el pelo corto y apariencia masculina? SÍ.

No, espera, que tengo otro ejemplo. A una adolescente.

Y otro (aquí una mujer a la que acosan regularmente).
https://t.co/H5aQTwSwT6
Aquí un señor acosando sexualmente a una mujer cis, diciendo que le "enseñaría la polla"
https://t.co/3ohBi8LIkf
CW Violencia carcelaria: una mujer cis a la que metieron en una cárcel de hombres durante diez horas. La acosaron e intimidaron hasta que se meó encima. ¿Por qué? Porque la vieron tomar estrógeno para la menopausia.
https://t.co/judzOgUbR9
(Nota: el carcelero le dijo " 'You are a woman. Good luck if you're alive tomorrow'.". si trataron así a una mujer cis, ¿cómo crees que tratan a las mujeres trans en las cárceles?).
Vaya. Parece que crear un clima de paranoia tránsfoba ha detenido 0 agresiones. Sin embargo, ha azuzado a decenas de personas tránsfobas a cometer agresiones verbales, físicas y sexuales.
¿Pero eso a las terf les importa? Aquí está Maya Forstater, a la que la Etxe defendió, hablando sobre cómo no pasa nada si algunas mujeres cis se quedan fuera de los baños por no parecerlo, lo que importa es que las Boenas Mogeres estén a gusto.
Aquí Kathleen Stock, otra terf famosa, diciendo que las mujeres butch son "daño colateral por el bien mayor". Recordemos que "daño colateral" son agresiones a a mujeres cis butch. El "bien mayor" es hacer daño a mujeres trans.
https://t.co/c31ISquhpM
Estos mensajes solo han servido para fomentar el odio. Lo curioso es que la paranoia de los baños empezó como una iniciativa de lobbies de extrema derecha para separar la T del resto del colectivo. La controversia creada por los baños es artificial.
https://t.co/8wO3XHrgXY
Por cierto, que yo cuando tenía passing y entraba en el baño de chicas me preguntaron algunas veces que qué hacía allí. La última vez estaba en mi décima semana de embarazo. Menos mal que no hubo reacciones instintivas, porque, sorpresa, la mayoría de la gente quiere mear.🙃
Ah, a mi mujer la han atacado en bares. La han atacado por la calle. No tenéis ni idea de lo que es vivir así, con este miedo pegajoso en las entrañas. Con la garganta que se encoge un poco cada vez que dice "voy al baño". Sabiendo que hay gente dispuesta a justificarlo.
Y, por cierto, si se le ocurre quejarse de acoso por un hilo con hechos, a mi pareja y a mí nos llevan las terf acosando meses con asunciones sobre nuestra vida personal y ella ha difundido sus mensajes :)

I’m contemplating leaving @twitter. The platform has proven to be instrumental in harming people with marginalized identities, which normally I wouldn’t blame a media platform for except that @jack has demonstrated negative interest in doing anything about it.

in the past when I’ve thought about this I’ve thought about it from the perspective of my own safety/comfort. And I’m good on that front; I can handle it. But now I’m thinking about it differently: thinking about the people who tell me they join or stay on twitter because of me.

Every time someone in the press refers to me as a “twitter celebrity” (actual phrase that I don’t fully understand or subscribe to but this is what people say) it means that my presence and voice are adding social cachet to a company that I find to be quite terrible.

People tell me that they learn a lot from what I have to say here, and sometimes that it’s their first or only exposure to certain ideas, histories, perspectives, etc. and I have to weigh that too. But I could post that stuff elsewhere.

We’ll see. I’m just thinking aloud for now but I’m watching closely to see what @twitter and @jack do in the coming days and how they respond to what we now know about Cesar Sayoc (beyond one really stupid tweet). Because we know it’s not just him. Big changes need to happen.

We should stop confusing what someone was doing when we became aware of them with all they are capable of, interested in, or ever hope to be

Let folks have their many talents, interests and gifts. Life is far more fun with variety, loves.

A lot of folks have come to know me as an activist & I’m grateful that folks care to know me at all.

But I wasn’t born in 2014. I was a whole teacher, executive, policy person, speaker, arts and culture lover, reader, writer, woman of faith, fashion and more before 4 yrs ago 🤷🏾‍♀️

We rightfully complain that marginalized people are not allowed to be fully human.

But we internalize and transfer our oppression daily. It’s a smog. We all breathe it in & act it out.

And then tell WoC “girl ain’t you supposed to be a _______? Why you doing ____?”

Can I live?

And don’t go reading anything personal into this-this isn’t about me necessarily and it’s no subtweet (I try hard not to do that.)

I’ve just been observing that behavior more and more lately. Especially when it comes to marginalized folks.

Evolution should be our aspiration.

“Can’t knock the hustle” should be our anthem.

As long as someone isn’t bringing active and continual harm, why can’t they explore their many sides?

1/OK, data mystery time.

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE

That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.

Let's check this number.

2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".

The report is available here:

3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.

The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.


4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.

Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.

That estimate is from 2012.

5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.

I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.

As many of you know, I was apart of the white evangelical tradition. I have talked about things I learned about being Black in white spaces. Now I want to say some things about what I learned about once being a Black evangelical returning back to the Black church.

A thread.

Spending years in white evangelical churches and schools, specifically from 2012-2018, shapes Black people in more ways than we would like to admit. It shapes us to diminish Blackness, devalue our people’s story, and always test what we have against the white logic and litmus.

This is particular reality for us Black men in that space. White Christians exploit our vulnerabilities, give us the room to speak, while simultaneously subverting and devaluing Black women and their struggles and their grievances. Opportunities abound for us and we take them.

We are invited into the meetings, we are given the mic, we are asked to lead groups on race, the Black church, etc. We are asked though often we actually haven’t read or thought deeply about each. We become a weapon. Profiting and policing/punishing those who get out of line.

All the while, white Christians feel good about themselves and other Black people are left to clean up the mess we’ve made, the ways we’ve made fools of Black folk, and the harmful ways we’ve learned to think, and to preach, and to be around us. It is profoundly depressing.

Lessor known facts of Sudarshan Chakra or Neela Chakra of Puri Jagannath Temple.

The metal wheel at the top of Bhagwan Jagannath temple is also known as Neela Chakra (Blue Wheel). The wheel is made of eight metals comprising of.. 1/n


iron, copper, zinc, mercury, lead, brass, silver & gold. It's circumferance is about 36 feet & it is so designed that there is a wheel within the wheel. The circumferance of the inner wheel is about 26 feet. Eight hubs join together the inner and the outer wheels. 2/n


There are decorative designs on the outer wheel. The thickness of the Neela Chakra is 2 inches.The wheel is said to be Bhagwan Vishnu's most powerful weapon, Sudarshana Chakra. Inside Jagannath temple, Lord Vishnu's wheel is also worshipped in the name of 'Sudarshana'. 3/n


But inside the temple Sudarshana is not in the shape of a wheel, but in the shape of a small wood pillar placed to the left of image of bhagwan Jagannath. It is believed that the same Sudarshana is also at the top of the temple and is known by the name of Neela Chakra. 4/n
