Can’t believe I have to say this about a fucking corporation but
Do not buy any of this, Nike has a track record of horrible human rights abuses in its factories that have been made public in multiple documentaries and the company STILL does not allow independent investigations in its factories despite claiming to change.
Go ahead and say “but there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism” if you really want, just know what you’re supporting. I’m not saying Everyone Can Just Boycott Nike And Things Will Change, i’m saying don’t buy your pride merch from companies well known for being abusive. That’s all !
The only thing these companies “empower” is cheap labor and dangerous working conditions.
Every time someone has the word rad/radical in their url: it’s time to play ‘are they a gross fucking transmisogynist or do they just like gnarly 90s surfer slang’. Or as I like to call it: Surf or TERF?
what a TERF / TWERF is: a Trans (Woman) Exclusionary Radical Feminist or Trans (Woman) Exterminatory Radical Feminist.
Someone whose politics align with the reactionary crypto-fascism that arose from and overtook the Second Wave Radical Feminist scene, which is a damn shame btw because Marxist/Material/Radical Feminism (when it isn’t just violent reactionary, and honestly, immaterial, transmisogynistic rhetoric calling itself “radical”) is actually great.
Someone with a specific brand of politics that believes trans women are genital-fetishist male rapists and which pushes dehumanising transmisogynist propaganda against trans women and focuses on passing bills and running bullying campaigns to socially isolate and physically harm / kill trans women.
what a TERF / TWERF is not: someone who says anything you disagree with. someone who says that cishet aces and aros are straight.
Can you provide (preferably recent) evidence of aces calling somebody that is saying ace people are straight, a terf
here’s an example! it should be fairly familiar to you, given it’s, y’know, your post
