really what it comes down to with "third world countries are so homophobic and transphobic" is like:

this is not categorically true (see: cuba)

the imperial core isn't all that great either, quite frankly (see: usa)

sometimes a big part of the reason these values exist in a given country outside the imperial core is because of colonialism and imperialism having exported a specific view of gender relations (see: uganda)

you did not arrive at this conclusion neutrally. you have been trained to distrust racialised people in order to divide the working class.

preserving prev's tags on this because. yeah. yup.

Listen , you cannot write "Trans women will never know the threat of being forced to carry an unwanted pregnancy and therefore will never understand what it's like to be a real woman" and then be surprised when you get marked red by Shinigami Eyes.

I had school uniforms in middle school and it didn’t stop people from showing off their parents money tbh it just gave the admins an excuse to get people in trouble for wearing traditional clothing on holidays

[what-even-is-thiss]

Rich kids continued to buy expensive backpacks and jewelry that still fit in dress code to show off and SE Asian and indigenous kids got sent home if they came dressed for a holiday or for dance class like idk dude it seems like the uniforms aren’t doing anything good here

[what-even-is-thiss]

The idea behind uniforms is to make everyone equal or something but kids will still invent arbitrary categories to judge people on and adults will find ways to confirm their preexisting biases. There was a black kid once in my class who got sent home because he was color blind and wore a red shirt by accident and I never saw that happen to any of the white kids that accidentally broke dress code so

[martinshep]

As someone from australia where uniforms are mandatory in almost all schools, you still have to pay for the uniforms, and they’re often exorbitantly expensive, just acting as another barrier between poorer kids/families and education

At the end of the day, my thoughts on job hunting are that it's incredibly stupid how every fiber of our current socioeconomic structure is screaming that you MUST have a job and nothing else matters because you MUST be working and that's the only thing of true importance so never forget that you MUST have a job, and I'm like damn okay so I'd like a job, can I have one? And the answer is No

nso transparents from the official twitter :)

[uptownthots]

cis women will never be the primary group effected by “women’s spaces” rhetoric but the fact that cis women often get harassed in “women’s spaces” if they are butch / otherwise gender nonconforming or not wearing makeup or fat or Girl With Short Hair or just straight up Black kinda proves “women’s only spaces” straight up do not work as a method of shielding women of patriarchal violence on any level 💀

We are currently trapped in northern Gaza under unprecedented and relentless bombardment. The internet has been completely cut off so that no one can see how we are burning and dying. My family and I are surrounded, with no shelter, no safe place to go, and no means to afford evacuation.

[alkhleliy-family]

Please, I beg you with all my heart — our lives and the lives of our children are in immediate danger. We desperately need your urgent support and donations to help us escape to safety. Do not leave us alone under the bombing. here 😔

[alkhleliy-family]

Please, for the sake of my innocent children, help us donate. We are being bombed at this time.

[feluka]

Everyone I know in Gaza is messaging me saying they can't find internet anymore and are barely able to connect using esims that are running out. Please don't stop donating esims.

Hello everyone. I'm absolutely terrified to open up about this, but I am having surgery on my thyroid to remove a goiter that has become very large / given me problems eating and breathing in general. My ocd is going crazy and catastrophizing;, I have been neglecting my health for five years until I experienced some symptoms that terrified me. My dr. Advised me that I will need two types of surgeons, one an ENT and one a thoracic surgeon. I am going to make a formal fundraiser very soon, but I was informed by my Dr. That the overall cost of this surgery (plus recovery) will be around 700,000 pesos- almost 13,000 usd. That is. My wages of three whole years. I am from the global south, in the philippines, and my wages are far smaller compared to my peers in the global north. My insurance is trying to cover around 40,000-80,000 pesos, I am unsure yet. Right now, I am unable to work all three of my jobs because I needed to do a ton of tests and resting, my new meds making me extremely drowsy as I was also diagnosed with type II diabetes and hypertension (?). I still am the only person in my family who can work- my mother is completely unable to move independently due to nerve damage from sepsis, she is legally blind and a full time wheelchair user. my father is very very immunocompromised due to heart disease and kidney failure, and my younger sister is autistic, with a low frustration threshold. Since Early April, I have had no income as I was in and out of the hospital; thanks to everyone's generous donations for my teeth that I am now allocating for this surgery instead, insurance, and my lovely friend Mango's large donation, I have been able to eat well, and cover about 12%-15% of my upcoming surgery's fund. Am trying to build up more breathing room for my gofundme, as it is common practice for philippine hospitals to prevent patients from leaving without having paid in full. I am humbly begging for everyone to please help me, Because I have not been working and will be unable to work for a couple of weeks. this is the most terrifying thing I have ever gone through, and I have been ignoring it for the past 5 years ♡ if you are blessed with disposable income and a generous heart, please send it my way! It means the whole world to me.

165k pesos now insurance at lowest, donations and prints sold! / 700,000k I will need for my surgery (philippine peso). Hopefully insurance will approve to bump it up to 100k off.. yesterday I had 150k and got an additional 16k pesos (292 usd) upon reblogging. Thank you so much everyone.

[littlestpersimmon]

180k pesos now. If anyone has had a similar surgery please can you like..give me reassurance. My mind going like a million miles per hour overthinking.

[littlestpersimmon]

(cw: sexual assault) the pedophile -as it is understood outside of academic circles- is a mythical creature. the idea that a complete stranger who kidnaps and sexually assaults kids is their biggest threat is absolutely insane; not one case of CSA (child sexual assault) in a hundred looks like that. CSA is committed almost uniformly by adults in a preestablished position of authority (such as family, family friends, clergy, or teachers) and in a way that a victim who doesn't know what sexual assault looks like will be left unsure what happened to them. without knowing concretely how sex and sexuality works, would you be able to tell the difference between molestation and the various other forms of unwanted physical touch and abuse kids are regularly subjected to? would it even seem that different? but parenthood and the submission of youth to adults as institutions are threatened by the reality of CSA. adults need to justify their ownership of children through an imagined outside threat constantly held at bay through their diligence. the truth - that putting yourself in such a position of authority over children directly enables abuse (including sexual abuse) - is thrown aside.

[honorarytheyfab]

"parent's rights" activists would never formulate it this way, but when you argue that children must be utterly subjugated to their parents above all else, you're arguing that parents should have a state-enforced monopoly on sexually assaulting their children. what else would such an ideology practically result in?
