Feminists in 1925: “one day women will be able to vote and the world will start to change for the better.”
Women in 2025: “we voted, we protested, and we’re still explaining what ‘bodily autonomy’ means.”
Progress is real but so is the patriarchy and lately a lot of women’s progress has been pushed backwards by conservative individuals aimed at taking away as many rights as possible.
Speaking of different body shapes. These are all basically all peak human bodies.
How come 99% of them don’t conform to what the entertainment industry tells us is the perfect body?
EDIT: I’ve been informed that these images and more can be found in this book: ATHLETE by Howard Schatz http://www.amazon.com/Athlete-Howard-Schatz/dp/0060195533/
So what you're telling me is, all I gotta do is work on my upper body and then all the Republicans and TERFs will swear up and down that I'm really a man, regardless of my sex assigned at birth?
It also promises to protect Christians who discriminate against LGBTQ+ people.
Daniel Villarreal at LGBTQ Nation:
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has adopted former President Donald Trump’s platform for the Republican Party. The new platform removes the party’s opposition to same-sex marriage — though conservatives have signaled that they’d like to overturn it — and also "softens" conservative opposition to abortion and in vitro fertilization (IVF), two issues that Republicans worry could hurt them in the November election.
The platform’s anti-transgender goals, numbered 16 and 17 among its 20 goals, are stated thus: “Cut federal funding for any school pushing critical race theory, radical gender ideology, and other inappropriate racial, sexual, or political content on our children,” and “Keep men out of women’s sports.”
Chapter 9, Section 5 of the platform promises to “end Left-wing gender insanity,” stating, “We will keep men out of women’s sports, ban Taxpayer funding for sex change surgeries, and stop Taxpayer-funded Schools from promoting gender transition, reverse Biden’s radical rewrite of Title IX Education Regulations, and restore protections for women and girls.”
[...]
The platform also echoes the Republican opposition to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) efforts in schools by promising to “expose politicized education models.” The platform also promises to “restore Parental Rights in Education”, a dog whistle for opposition to anti-racist and LGBTQ+-inclusive education. Anti-LGBTQ+ groups like Moms for Liberty and Leave Our Kids Alone have functioned under the banner of “parents’ rights.”
“We trust Parents’ Knowledge and Skills, Not CRT [critical race theory] and Gender Indoctrination,” the platform states. “Republicans will ensure children are taught fundamentals like Reading, History, Science, and Math, not Leftwing propaganda. We will defund schools that engage in inappropriate political indoctrination of our children using Federal Taxpayer Dollars.”
As for higher education, the platform promises to “fire Radical Left accreditors … restore Due Process protections, and pursue Civil Rights cases against Schools that discriminate.” The line about accreditors may refer to the College Board, an organization that gives high school students a chance to pre-earn college credits through Advanced Placement (AP) tests. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) publicly criticized the board last year and tried to get it to drop AP test questions on racial justice movements and queer theory — he failed.
The platform repeatedly mentions that Leftists should be removed from government. It also promises, “Republicans will use existing Federal Law to keep foreign Christian-hating Communists, Marxists, and Socialists out of America. Those who join our Country must love our Country. We will use extreme vetting to ensure that jihadists and jihadist sympathizers are not admitted.”
The GOP’s proposed platform contains several anti-trans items, such as keeping trans women out of women’s sports, de facto support for bans on gender-affirming care, support for forced outing policies under the guise of “parental rights”, and pushes the lie that trans people are a “danger” to women and girls.
We want, need and affirm trans and gender diverse people in Rugby, not just because everyone should be able to play and inclusion is the right thing to do, but because Rugby benefits from trans players, spectators and communities. Trans people live, work and play
across Australia, and it is important that Rugby reflects this anywhere sport is played. We celebrate and honour the diversity of those interested in playing Rugby, including those who are trans.
Reblogging now but I'm also scheduling this to post again at the end of October, when folks may need a reminder that they may have right to time off work to vote.
I remember Chloe decker singing the animal crackers in my soup song or she’d play the piano tune with Lucifer and they’d play and sing together on the Lucifer Netflix show😂
Based on the results in the next few days I will either be excited that my rights are going to be restored, or devastated and choosing to spend the rest of my 2024 packing up all of my belongings and moving to Canada before January 2025.
