      Purple prose hammering the same disturbing imagery again and again isn't "poetry" This would be embarrassingly bad writing -- on the level of Douglas Adams' classmate with the dead swan poem -- if it weren't creepy harassment of a specific individual https://twitter.com/graceelavery/status/1379950523739213827?s=20 …

      Like, don't fucking pat yourself on the back here Freaking someone out by spamming images of death and decay and violence at them doesn't require that you be a skillful or thoughtful writer It's often more disturbing when you're clearly an idiot

      what's more interesting to me here is the crossover with Christian and anti-abortion literature the lurid obsession with surgically chopped up bodies the dreamlike repetition of metaphor and imagery over and over, almost pornographically recapitulating an emotion

      like this is how they talk about abortion clinics, this is how they motivate themselves to go and murder abortion doctors "they're chopping up babies in there!" just dwelling on that imagery over and over, trapped in this disgust-horror-hatred libidinal loop

      I’m more and more interested in timelines for that kind of (especially secular) rhetoric re: ~earthly occurrences because (ironically? presumably that’s lost on ‘em) I think there’s a treadmill effect in how far people have to go to find something violent and specific “enough”

      my own take is, the right wing tends to churn out these highly emotional and evocative narratives/fantasies that bear little contact with reality. and they do it because they're chasing a certain emotional high--not just fear or anger, but the righteous release at the end

      like for gun nuts this is always the fantasy of "them" suddenly coming to take what's "yours." you work yourself into this froth of fear about "them"--and then, the libidinal release comes in, you imagine "defending yourself"https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/black-teen-misses-bus-gets-shot-at-after-asking-for-directions-in-rochester-hills …

      so yeah, i think terfs are absolutely on that same hedonic treadmill. looking--and this absolutely bears a certain structural similarity to porn consumption--for just the right emotional-imaginative sequence that will deliver that hit of righteous release

      Yes, they have this very specific scenario in mind whenever the topic of uterine transplant comes up - this lurid image of piles of dead cis women with their wombs brutally cut out - they repeatedly return to like a 1980s teenager to their one sticky hidden issue of Penthouse

      It's utter nonsense but the absurdity of the scenario does nothing to weaken the fetishistic intensity it has in their imagination All these narratives - the narrative of physical violation and rape, of theft and exploitation, of "science gone horribly wrong" - converging as one

      And I mean you can't help but laugh at how grimly absurd this whole thing is Widespread involuntary organ harvesting is gonna happen *because of the trans women*? Rich people wanting new kidneys and pancreases and hearts so they don't, you know, DIE isn't incentive enough?

          And the irony is this nonsense is utterly detached from actual politics Of all the 20th century Western thinkers this performative horror at "the charnel house of the Machine Age" is cribbing the most from Heidegger, who saw the Machine Age in canned soup and nylon stockings

          You know, the dude who supported the Nazis - who actually literally enacted industrialized mass murder - in order to stop the *metaphorical* "spiritual murder" enacted by perverts like Hirschfeld giving trans women GRS
