Girls I am looking you in the eye and holding you tight. 99% of all things people describe as being female or male puberty is made up bullshit. Sex is not as black and white as you think (nor is it real for that matter.) Please. Dont listen. Jaw sizes and leg lengths and whatever is made up, misogynistic, and sometimes even race science. PLEASE im begging you to not hold yourself to such standards, much less other people.

just because things are at their bleakest now, just because we are being dragged into a hellish apocalypse of an extinction event, just because the fangs of capital are gnashing more violently than ever, does not mean that this is the future we have to accept. we can halt climate change and mitigate the worst of the effects by ending borders and allowing those in areas that are becoming unlivable to move to cooler climates, remove the need for a currency based economy so that those who are displaced will not be forced to contend with survival while losing everything they have known. we can redirect resources away from profit incentives and towards comprehensive education programmes available for all ages. we can use the massive excess of homes built in the imperial core to provide housing to everyone who is currently homeless in the area, and stop taking resources from other countries, give reparations to the nations and people that have been harmed by imperialism, and focus efforts on providing resources and shelter to those who need in the global south. these are concrete, achievable goals that can be striven towards through our lifetimes.

the world does not have to be like this.

because americans are not very good at space they directly killed 17 people in preventable deathtraps, but westerners do not care about people like they do dogs

just accidentally stumbled across a subreddit explicitly for people trying to advertise on tiktok. half of the posts seem to be from "entrepreneurs" that are confused why tiktok won't accept their ads for sketchy supplements and weight loss pills. which is actually better than i expected from tiktok tbh

estrogen is not some chemical that makes you weak. you're still doing misogyny. just like the "born this way" argument did not and will not save us from people who hate us, "actually trans women are weak just like Real Women" is not going to save anyone. we should be challenging the idea that we should be made weak in the first place.

[arthropodrespecter]

bioessentialism will never save you.

[arthropodrespecter]

absolutely vile how even among trans women the concensus is "estrogen makes you weaker" instead of challenging the idea that estrogenized bodies are inherently weaker than bodies with higher testosterone. we should not be basing our understanding of sex, gender, or hormones on the arbitrary lines drawn by the olympic committee.

every now and then the topic of schizophrenia in relation to antipsych comes up and it seems to be where most people are apprehensive towards antipsych arguments which is always extremely aggravating to see because a lot of antipsych communities are made up of people who have been on antipsychotics and/or involuntarily institutionalized for psychosis. of course I know you really badly want to say all those people are delusional in the first place instead of the more obvious argument, that some of the worst treatment you'll face in psychiatry is tied to these particular diagnoses. they even separate psychotic patients from the rest in some psych wards and the staff will talk shit about them to other patients lol like it's crazy

[fatal-blow]

god i wish more sources talked about "sex" hormones like this

ironically its in a book about female sex anatomy that ive come across it (Vagina Obscura by Rachel E. Gross). everyone only wants to focus on the secondary sex characteristics and not the bazillion other functions of estrogen, testosterone, and co.

every body uses both of them!! for a million reasons!!!!! aaaaaa!!!!!!!
