I've come to a realization. It took me a really long time to admit this, because for me, politics is so personal…#trans rights, feminism, racism, anti-capitalism. I wanted to believe that the right—in their own way—had authentic values-based reasons for being politically active
The more I interact with Trump supporters, the more I watch video after video of Trump rallies, the more time I spent in Trump forums trying to "figure it out," the more I realize, this is not about ANY political platform or policy at all.

To them, this is entertainment.
They go to rallies to have fun. They create groups to have fun. They exploit our anxiety & fear of being killed or legally "erased" as queer people or dying of poverty because it's FUNNY to them.

@AdamSerwer nailed it when he said, "The cruelty is the point."

They are SADISTIC.

It's the first ever International #PronounsDay! I'm so excited and I want you to be excited, too.

Here are a few things to know about pronouns:

1. Many #trans people, myself included, HAVE to out ourselves & tell people our pronouns, if we want others to gender us correctly.
YOU CAN HELP normalize this by doing a couple of REALLY simple things:

- Edit your Twitter & FB bio, email sig, etc to include your pronouns, whether you're #trans or not.

- ALWAYS introduce yourself with your name AND pronouns, eg: "I'm Danielle & my pronouns are she/her."
2. Understand that correct pronouns are NOT optional, nor a preference. In some jurisdictions, it's even against sex-based discrimination laws to misgender someone.

- NEVER say "preferred pronouns." It's not a preference. My pronouns are she/her; anything else is inaccurate.

I need someone to hold me.
Oh great. This was retweeted by a Trump supporter with a million followers. I just blocked 150+ people mocking me for being a trans woman, posting photoshopped horrible pictures, calling me slurs, etc.

It's gonna be a long night.
200+ & 3 threats of violence now.

I appreciate your kind words everyone. Y'all are amazing.

One way to get back at them is to support my work. I'm a full-time civil rights activist—my @Patreon makes that possible. Please consider a small monthly pledge: patreon.com/daniellemuscato

@IndiaMeToo It feels really powerful to see how women are coming out and speaking up as well as standing up for each other!This strengthens what we called, sisterhood!When I talk about concerns that got erased in this celebration of sisterhood,I am not delegitimising ur struggles/pain at all
@IndiaMeToo Thank you for the question. This has two questions and I would like to answer the second one by the end of this thread. And coming to inclusion- I'm gonna share in 2/3 tweets what bell hooks says about white feminism, the inclusion of black women in women's movement.
@IndiaMeToo "The white woman could at least plead for her own emancipation; the black women 'doubly enslaved', could but suffer and struggle and be silent"

#MeToo allegations are coming out. Perhaps very few of of them are outright lies. Some of them are completely true. But most are selective representations of reality. It's worse than useless when a story is stripped of its context. #MeTooIndia (1/n)
Women are running amok. But even feminist female detectives who investigate rape cases think 50-90% of the allegations are false. They've studied this in different parts of the world. There's no place where at least half the allegations aren't false. #MeToo #MeTooIndia (2/n)
People refuse to believe this, but this is a consistent finding.This doesn't mean all allegations are false. Some allegations seem very real, and sexual harassment seems to have destroyed careers. #MeToo #MeTooIndia (3/n)

Court in #Egypt sentence women rights advocate #AmalFathy for 2.5 years for 'Fake News' after sharing sexual harassment experience via Facebook post. #FreeAmalFathy #FreeAmalFathy theguardian.com/world/2018/sep…
The conviction of Amal Fathy comes after Egypt clamped down on women who complain of sexual assault. Simply reporting rape or assault can land women in prison and labeled as terrorists. #FreeAmalFathy on.wsj.com/2NMhKk6
“In a UN survey in 2013, 99% of Egyptian women reported that they had experienced some form of sexual harassment. Cairo was described as the “most dangerous megacity in the world for women” in a 2017 Thomson Reuters Foundation poll.” . #FreeAmalFathy gu.com/p/9ga2n/stw

I'm a sociologist who studies adolescent sexual violence. On this thread, I will be live tweeting the #Kavanaugh hearing, chiming in with sociological insights and research findings.
Full disclosure--I will probably step away for parts of it. While many conservatives have cast feminists as people who rejoice at allegations of sexual assault against powerful men, this is a painful process for us. We know survivors. We are survivors. And I will need breaks.
It does not bode well that the beginning of this hearing is starting with equating #Kavanaugh and #Ford's experiences with harassment following Dr. Ford's allegations. They are absolutely not the same.

Dear @SenatorCollins - I'll tell you why I waited to report a coworker who touched me inappropriately, and why reports of harassment and assault can have "odd timing". 1/12 #MeToo #Kavanaugh
At an event for a coworker who was leaving the company, I was chatting with a married male coworker. Suddenly his hand was up the back of my blouse, almost touching my bra.

I froze in shock for a second, then backed away, stammering "What are you doing?" 2/12 #TuesdayThoughts
He smiled and said "nothing". I walked away and joined some other coworkers. He stayed away from me after that.

I told my boyfriend about it, but decided not to report to HR for several reasons. 3/12 #RoyMoore
