Trans lesbian feminist Beth Elliot’s response to TERFs who attacked her at the West Coast Lesbian Conference, 1973 (x)
Since it’s LGBT history month it’s a good time to bring this back, with a minor correction- her surname is actually Elliott, with two t’s
Also here’s a photo of Beth from around the time she performed at the conference-
Back when TERFs were barely a thing, when as a movement they were only just coming into existence, one of the first trans woman to be confronted with their shit already looked at them and realized that TERFs make damn good fascists. It has been that obvious this whole time.
in any fantasy setting where afterlives of eternal (or even transient but identity-obliterating) suffering exist, it is ethical and correct to achieve immortality through dark magic in order to buy yourself time, accrue sufficient magical power to alter, bend, or break reality itself, neutralize or eliminate any spineless little deities who object, and then personally unfuck the cosmos so that torture isn’t baked into the setting mechanics
then retire to a beach somewhere and spend however long you’d like doing whatever, because you’ve damn well earned it
