it should be no surprise Batman doesn't eat kitty. Bruce Wayne is closeted & suppresses his homoeroticism through masks both physical (cowl) & social (playboy).
he stores these personas in a secret cave filled with his other fears. a cave that in some comics is accessed through a literal closet.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
finishes setting pieces on the chess board
so anyways Batman is also a metaphor for crossdressing & the psychodynamic causes of most fetishes.
Bruce Wayne created the batsuit as a fetishistic totem, facilitating the displacement of his repressed desires & traumas onto an object, a symbol.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
while Bruce Wayne is clearly queer, he is very much cis. the batsuit does not indicate a desire to become a bat.
instead by fetishizing the symbol of a bat, Bruce transforms his unresolved trauma into a source of eroticized strength, suggesting a complex self-tapestry of fear, desire, & identity.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
becoming the Batman represents a deeply fetishistic act of rebellion against stifling class expectations placed upon him as Gotham's billionaire golden boy.
the batsuit permits him to transgress the boundaries of power, gender, & lust, albeit within the socially sanctioned guise of violent heroism.

ok i have most of it written out but i'm bored & don't want to thread it. here were the moves i was gonna make rhetorically:
next up: morbius the living vampire as a metaphor for transsexual liberation & the cissexist monstering of queer bodies.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
… in this metaphor, what is the metaphorical "artificial blood"
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
HRT, mostly. Morbius' "hunger" also represents the false cissexist projection of transness as excessive, insatiable, or disruptive.
That transphobia & othering is a reflection of patriarchal anxieties instead of the true reality of our lives & self-actualization as trans people.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This is very good.
Sage 🏳️⚧️ (@trans.bsky.social):
thank you! it was very fun to play around with some long-form prose. i'll get around to making a ghost or patreon for my writing eventually hah

Y'all now he pardoned his son because leaving him in the clutches of a Trump-run DOJ would be a death sentence, right?
Cersei Transnister 🏳️⚧️🏴☠️🦋 (@khatunjessicabeki.org):
Probably. Biden should pardon a lot of other people also.

I also want to state that everyone who left Twitter / X / 88Chan, have an excellent reason to have done so —
All (most?) of us joined Twitter when it held out a promise: that they would not tolerate spammers, scammers, evil, hatred, harassment. That was an essential part of the contract.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
When we lost the ability to cease being associated with transphobes, neoNazis, misogynists, neoNazis, scammers, neoNazis, baby talking frog avatars, neoNazis, spammers, neoNazis and neoNazis —
X broke the agreement. Musk broke millions upon millions of contracts.

Today I would like to touch again upon the importance of respecting personal and community boundaries.
I run a blocklist specifically to list accounts that demonstrate behaviour that opposes the establishment or enforcement of personal or community boundaries.

Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
This principle is the foundation of nearly all volunteer moderation efforts & all User Content Hosting Internet Service Provider's Acceptable Use Policies (UCHISP AUPs), aka Terms Of Service, aka Sitewide Rules, aka Content Policies
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Further, it serves to protect against abusive behaviours premised on a common, bad faith "interpretation" of the principle or right to Freedom of Speech, wherein the bad actor demands access to an audience in abrogation of their collective & several right to Freedom of (and FROM) Association.
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
THERE IS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH
WITHOUT
FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION
Ms. Penny Oaken, SkyWitch (@skywitches.net):
Asking BlueSky Safety to curtail the ability of the individuals and community here to set and enforce boundaries - block list organising - is prima facie evidence of bad faith intent, and will result in being listed.
