in my 30s, radix means root, het but celibate, midwestern, being as separatist as I can with what I've got, and happy to answer questions or just chat because i'd like to make friends here!

going to center my human experience around female experience. befriend and build deep relationships with women. enjoy women’s art and writings. listen to female artists, speakers, and role models. read books about women, watch movies about women, and donate to charities for women. work with women, study with women, plan trips and outings with female friends and colleagues. support female creators and buy artworks of women. i am going to enjoy my life so much by caring for and being cared by women.

it’s always summer v winter bitches fighting for their life, where are the spring/autumn girlies, the moderate temperatures crowd, the transition period aficionados, the ‘sun is shining but the wind’s cold’ connoisseurs, the ‘decay and rebirth of nature’ devotees

hello! I've just followed you and I saw your post about cramping after orgasms, I just wanted to tell you I have that problem too, I haven't talked to a doctor about it but I looked into it a bit and it seems like it can be caused by your pelvic floor being too tense/pelvic floor dysfunction. since you're obviously not getting the help you deserve i wanted to tell you what i learned, i hope it helps :)

💜💜💜

Thank you anon, that's so sweet!! I'm sorry to hear that you have the same problem, but I am grateful to have a space where we see each other and can talk about it! That's the first step to solving these issues.

I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out I had something like that and I'll look into it. I've also read that the orgasm itself causes the uterus to contract and if there's something wonky going on in there, it's basically like manually triggering heavy period cramps. Wonky meaning undiagnosed endometriosis or who knows what else.

If I ever figure it out, I'll definitely share what I find! We deserve this!

Doing new things is good for you, even if you don't think you want to do them. Sometimes especially. Trying a new food even if it seems gross, taking a new route somewhere even if it's not the most efficient, etc.

I often pass by this sad little arcade that never has anyone in it. Today I finally went in and spent 5 bucks to play the basketball game. I don't really like that one BUT 1. I moved my body in a way that I don't normally and 2. I got a different view than what I normally see - this time I was on the inside of the arcade looking out. My world got a tiny bit bigger.

I think doing stuff like that keeps your brain pathways nice and malleable. Routines can feel so comfortable that you don't realize you need a little extra enrichment in your enclosure until it sneaks up on you.

the most important virtues for the young woman are as follows: time theft, selfishness, orgasms, irreverence to authority, sacrilegious behavior, a questioning mind, and eating regular meals.

I voted complicated/nuance instead of yes for one reason, and it's not one that I think UK people would worry about anyway.

I'm from the USA and on our highway system we have rest stops, public areas alongside the road where you can pull over to sleep or use the toilet. They're usually in the middle of nowhere and very isolated. They're also notorious as being places where women are kidnapped, raped and killed. So having shared cubicle toilet spaces there, instead of single-occupancy rooms that lock from the inside (which someone could be dragged into and isolated in) is important. It's also important that the cubicles are sex-segregated so you can call out any male following a female in.

Other than that very specific scenario? Fuck yes give me individual gender neutral private bathrooms. 100%.

Breakfast was a toasty bagel, with cream spread stuff and this imitation salmon caviar I found. I wonder what makes it imitation? Can you make fish boba like the fruity stuff in tea? I don't know what it is but it's way cheaper than lox and plenty tasty.

[hyeenagurrl]

transwomen call it ‘pedojacketing’ cuz they figured out quick that calling the shit that comes to light about them ‘false rape allegations’ makes them sound like the rank gamergate MRAs they used to be before they transitioned lol

[avobrav]

We can add the term to the list of things trans people stole from other civil rights movements too. It was called bad-jacketing and was specifically coined to describe what the FBI was doing to the Black Panther Party to discredit them with lies.

Basically if you hear a TRA use a strange term, try to look up a simplified version while adding something like "sociology" or "civil rights" at the end to see where they stole it from.
