And she wonders why people hate her?

[gideonisms]

they should invent an autism accommodation that's like: okay so there's a guy next to you and whenever you have a conversation and you know you've chosen the wrong dialogue option, you can later present it to him for review and he can tell you why. And then whenever you run out of the energy to do your own pr rep he simply takes over your body and comes up with the correct phrasing and tone to explain what you want to get across. So basically noise-cancelling headphones are NOT going to solve all my problems and we need intermittent demon possession

[gideonisms]

in my revolutionary Guy Next To You autism accommodation plan the Guy will also alert you when you should ask people to alter their behavior and when you should not. Sometimes you're annoyed at people for having a haircut that is bad. Sometimes you're annoyed at them for asking you out three times after you've said no. But many situations fall in between these two extremes, and Guy Next To You will help you determine which are actionable

"we're all faggots in the eyes of the state" okay but the state recognises different category of "faggot" where one is "idiot womanchildren with delusions of grandeur" and another is "subhuman predators that must be excised from society posthaste" like neither are a great way to treat another human being but can we pleeeeeeease acknowledge the difference here

[tainbocuailnge]

"stop queer infighting we're all-" okay so is this actually queer infighting or did a trans woman describe her lived experience in a way you didn't like

[merrydapachi]

I am an uninsured trans woman staring down unexpected medical charges! After losing my job I've been unable to afford much and need some help with both my obligatory bills and groceries. I have until the 11th of next month. Thanks to your help before, I safely made it to a new home, but while I'm working hard to secure support from financial aid programs, I still need a little more. Please share if you can't give, and anything you can is deeply deeply appreciated!

Help an Iranian trans woman rebuild her life through education

Help a trans woman rebuild her life through education

Hi, my name is Nima. I’m organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friend Ava, a 27-year-old Iranian trans woman, who is trying to rebuild

After years of surviving violence, homelessness, and war, Ava has a real chance to start her life over and continue her education in Italy. This campaign raises funds for her relocation, visa, and tuition costs.

Anything helps, even small amounts. In case you prefer donating through other means, my information is below. Please put ‘Ava’ in the description:

“it isnt something you have to read critically” well 😭

[uptownthots]

this technically is true but I think this also perfectly encapsulates why I am inherently distrustful of like. “”cozy”” “turn your brain off” fiction lmfao. like okay WHO gets to turn their brain off and who has to suffer through bigoted caricatures of themselves while everyone else is having cozy silly no brain time 😐

I told my little nephew that I'd wave at his airplane when it flew over my house today, and he very calmly and politely explained that it wouldn't be possible to see me due to the limitations of human vision. I said he just had to squint real hard, and he took a deep breath and went into the toddler version of "see, what you're not understanding–"

[pangur-and-grim]

[pangur-and-grim]

it is actually haunting me that I forgot to wave. if he looked out the airplane window, he wouldn’t have seen me…..

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats

[fleshengine]

At minimum about 4.5 thousand people liked this without reblogging it.

We gotta fix that.

[dancinbutterfly]

Progress.

Onwards!

[onthedriftinthetardis]

I can't access the full paper, but their conclusion is right there in the abstract:

While transgender women exhibited higher lean mass than cisgender women, their physical fitness was comparable. Current evidence is mostly low certainty and has heterogenous quality but does not support theories of inherent athletic advantages for transgender women over cisgender.

have u guys noticed the phenomenon that's like

- m/f ship between a nonblack man & a Black woman

- it's either canon (e.g. mel/jayce arcane, arthur/guinevere bbcmerlin) or entirely plausible (e.g. prism or coupé/robert dispatch)

- fanbase overwhelmingly pairs nb man off with another nb man and disengages from the Black woman character, shunting her into a background wise & sassy caretaker role (for which there is a name) or leaving her out of fanworks entirely

- fans who do this ^ claim it is an expression of love and admiration for the Black woman character, actually, bc the nb man (who may be her canonical partner) "can't handle all that" (he may be perfectly competent and engaged; she may be totally low maintenance; it has no bearing), she's just too wonderful (too much) and out of his league (lacking in flaws and interiority and fan appeal)

have we all observed this and can we see the multiple dimensions in which it is racist ☝️ i'm not bringing it up to make any beautiful fujos feel bad abt shipping this or that, just to ask for some consideration of what ppl are saying abt Black women when they make their excuses to each other. like you can just not make the excuses. yk?

[gaydiation-poisoning]

It would kill half the 19-25 year olds online to realize "I can't help it I have trauma" is one of THE quintessential abuser excuses

[gaydiation-poisoning]

Like there is a difference between "My trauma creates impulsive urges and has changed my instinctive reactions to be irrational, I need to relearn shit." vs "I'm traumatized so I Can't Help It and you're not allowed to expect better of me"

The situation in Gaza is still incredibly dire. Israel is attacking the people in the strip despite the 'ceasefire'. Gazans access to food, medical care, and evacuation is poor.

[grendel-menz]

If you'd like to help a family in Gaza, please consider Nader's fundraiser. He's a young man trying to support his family of eight people, including a young niece and a father who has cancer.

FUNDRAISER HERE.

[grendel-menz]

I think it's incredibly important to support people in their times of need. Please consider donating or reblogging to support his campaign. One good action can make a world of difference for another person.

[naderalanqar2007]

The situation in Gaza is dire due to shortages of food, medicine, and medical equipment. Hundreds of thousands of wounded and sick people are suffering because of the siege, and my father is one of them. He suffers from many problems: arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, back pain, and cancer. My father is fighting for his life under the siege and the lack of all medical supplies. I don't want to see my father die before my eyes because of this Please donate now
