Anonymous asked: So I gathered from your video that trans people using the term 'die cis scum' is wrong, do you also believe black people insulting white people based on the fact that they're white is wrong too? Do black people who insult white people not have white friends? I'm a white person who wants to be friends with anyone of any race or sexuality but would I get judged as a non-accepting person because I'm basically the majority?
I actually do think it’s wrong for a black person to insult a white person based on their race, yes - however I understand that such feelings come from a place of anger, what with racial discrimination, slavery, apartheid and general racism having been around for as long as humans have populated the earth. I understand why black people may resent white people for our generations of historical hatred & abuse, and for the fact that it still continues within contemporary society.
I echo these feelings regarding the anger that some trans* people feel towards cis people and I empathise with the situation.
However, what I do not think is okay, is willingly isolating oneself from entire groups of people - whether they be cis people, or white people, or any group of people at all - based on history, stereotypes, what some members of the group do, etc.
At the end of the day people should be judged on WHO they are, not WHAT they are; external factors such as sexuality, race, job, whatever you like, shouldn’t come into play.
Am I a cunt or a survivor?
I’ve always been seen as a bitch, because I’ve always refused to take other people’s shit - that’s the long and short of it. If you treat me like crap, then you can pretty much guarantee I’m going to treat you one hundred times worse in return because years of experience have taught me that it’s exactly what you deserve.
I often get asked if I’ve ever been bullied, and I always say no, but that’s not exactly the whole story. When I was twelve I moved from England to Australia (basically on a drawn-out whim of my parents’) and within two weeks of arrival I’d started at Byron Bay High School. Note that at this point I had no friends, no house to invite potential friends back to, a nose ring, pentagram necklace and chunky skate shoes. Yeah, coupled with my thick accent I was a little odd.
On my first day, I was hoping to meet some friendly people & enjoy myself - instead the ‘popular’ girls decided to write “Kill the witch”, “Burn the witch”, “Go back to England Satanic scum”, and such the like, along with crude drawings of me riding broomsticks and whatnot, all over the table they knew I was going to sit at come lunchtime. At that point I had a choice between allowing myself to succumb to what they had done to me, and cry; or to laugh it off and call them all the names under the sun right back - I chose the latter.
I soon made friends & I’m not going to sell some sob story of how my high school experience sucked because it didn’t, but the pattern of constant abuse never really went away…
I have been told to “Go back to England” more times than you’ve had hot dinners.
I have had chewing gum stuck in my hair on multiple occasions.
I have been teased about my nose, my piercings, my teeth, my tits, my choice of hair colour and my music taste from the day I got to that school.
I have had boys four years my senior spit in my face and call me ‘Devil Chick’, pushing me into walls and pulling my hair in front of their mates - then asking me to suck their cocks in private; then been screamed at again and called a ‘slut’ and a ‘cocktease’ for choosing to preserve my self respect. The phrase ‘filthy immigrant slut’ is familiar to me.
I’ve been told to kill myself more times than I can count.
I’ve had my hair cut off, my possessions stolen, my phone number written on toilet doors, food forcefully shoved in my face, and ‘666’ painted across my school photos.
I’m sure I don’t need to point out that five solid years of this treatment could well have pushed me over the edge - kids have taken drastic measures with their lives over a lot less. But not once, during any of it, did I cry, or let anyone see that their actions might have had an impact on me. I called them cunts and sluts and dogs to their faces, I walked through my school with my head held high even when people tried to physically hold it down, I went out of my way to point out their intellectual failings in class; and most importantly, I refused to ever treat them nicely or accept any form of half-assed apology.
Why? BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY WAY I KNEW HOW TO STAY ALIVE. Yet somehow, all of this makes me the bitch? That was the most common label in high school - “That Daisy girl is such a bitch… She’s just not nice.”
Well fine, if that is the definition of bitch then nothing makes me prouder.
I’m killing it now. I’m nineteen and I’m actually going places. I’m attractive. I have amazing friends. I’m healthy. I’m doing bloody well at uni. I’m happy. I have achieved a lot and I’m proud to say that I love myself. The people who bullied me? From what I can see their looks are already fading due to excessive drink and drug use, they work in service and will do for the rest of their lives; their education ended somewhere in high school. They seem, to me, like deadbeats & I won’t pretend I don’t think every single one of them deserves it.’
Have I ever been bullied?
No, because I didn’t let the fuckers win.
Could I have? Sure, easily.
But what I have always kept in mind, and what I would urge anyone going through anything similar to what I went through in high school to keep in mind, is to give them fucking hell, and do it with a smile on your face, because living well will always be the best revenge.
Anonymous asked: I was wondering what your thoughts are on a girl I follow on here saying that she's "experienced racism" as a white female because some people thought she looked Chinese in school. She clearly looks white so I don't really understand why she is claiming she's been put down when she isn't even Chinese in the first place. I can't post a link but her url is veganlove if you're interested in what she's saying at all. I'm just dumbfounded by the whole thing.
Usually I wouldn’t post a message like this because it contains her URL, but honestly what she’s saying is just so revolting that I don’t even think I care…
I had a look through her blog, and her reasoning seems to be that people called her a ‘Chink’ a couple of times and she got butthurt about it? People could call me a ‘black cunt’ every day for the rest of my life, it doesn’t make me black and it certainly doesn’t bloody well make it racism!
She still gets to walk through life as a member of the most privileged race on the planet; Caucasians always have been and unfortunately most likely always will be the predominant race within society in terms of how we’re treated, how we exhibit power and control, etc - it’s not right and it’s not fair, but it’s the way of the world & to deny it is downright fucking stupid. That girl is NEVER going to experience racism because she is WHITE. If she wasn’t claiming “racism”, simply saying that she was picked on and discriminated against, then it would be a different story, but she’s too much of a special snowflake to understand that her (pseudo) struggles mean NOTHING in comparison to hundreds of years of internalised prejudice and hatred towards racial minorities.
TL;DR? Girl’s a fucking thundercunt, quit giving her the attention her poor snowflake brain clearly craves.
Why yes, yes I do look like death.
Why yes, yes I have almost finished my assignment.
Why yes, yes I do deserve a cookie.
My mother is the most beautiful soul.
I told her I was seriously considering quitting everything in my life and becoming a playwright and all she said was, “As long as you’re still writing that’s all that matters.” God I’m lucky.
I can’t stop flapping around hysterically on my bed. My tears, they are never ending.
DEAR EX,
STOP SENDING ME PICTURES OF YOUR PENIS.
OUR CONVERSATIONS DO NOT LEAD ME TO WANT TO SEE YOUR PENIS, NOR DO THEY IMPLY THAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO SO.
I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, IT’S BEEN IN MY MOUTH A FAIR FEW TIMES.
I’M AT UNI.
CEASE AND DESIST WITH YOUR DICKTURES.

Thankyou! xo
fortheloveoftrousers asked: Ayyyy, just wanted to say that I think you're fucking fabulous and it sucks that people give you shit about really pointless things (oh wow a girl who likes to fuck!
