sterek shippers pairing a man in his twenties (who got groomed + sexually assaulted at 15/16 by somebody in their twenties) and a teenager (the same age as the grown man when he got assaulted and groomed (15/16)) but hating kate for what she did to derek are so weird... literally just bc sterek is gay doesn’t mean its somehow better lmfao

someone left a pro-life leaflet on my mum’s car door today while we were out buying new glasses, and she said it was okay because she’s “very pro life” (her words, not mine). then ensued a 40 minute long argument where i realised that there is no arguing with pro-lifers because they’re just so overwhelmingly stupid

[michaelmilkers]

in light of the texas abortion ban here’s a reminder to stop debating what counts as a human, baby, or life with pro-lifers because that is not a debate you can win. you can not win a philosophical debate about what counts as a person, and you will not change their minds.

what can be proven is that in no situation under united states law is an individual legally obligated to lend their body or organs for the sake of another life. 

4.5 million people each year are in need of blood transfusion, the entire process of donating blood takes a little over an hour, it’s free, and a single pint of blood can save up to 3 peoples lives, but there is no legal obligation or requirement to donate blood in place. 

it is illegal to take organs from deceased peoples’ bodies without permission. CORPSES. bodily integrity is prioritized by law, even after death.

it doesn’t fucking matter whether a fetus is a person, whether a fetus is alive, whether a fetus has a soul. it literally doesn’t matter. pro-lifers set up the argument through that lens (hence their name) to evoke empathy and pity and take the focus away from the actual process of pregnancy, which changes a person’s body FOREVER. that is not an exaggeration. whether the pregnancy is complicated and high-risk or totally smooth sailing, the birthing person will physically never be the same. if they’re lucky, they’ll come out of it with weight gain, differently shaped breasts, and changes to the cervix/vagina. if they aren’t, there’s a fucking laundry list of potential complications that could arise, that may eventually fix themselves, need surgical or therapeutic intervention, or never go away, like varicose veins, separation of the abdominal muscles, incontinence, prolapse, diabetes, postpartum depression, and chronic pain, just off the top of my head. and this makes no mention of the very real possibility of income disruption, as well as the financial cost of giving birth, and the chance of fucking death, which is even higher for underserved communities like black women.

there is no basis for a governing body forcing an individual to lend their body or organs for the sake of another life. that is the argument. period the end.

British terfs saying they’d never take advice from Irish feminists (whose feminism has been recognisably trans-inclusive) because Ireland has only recently gained abortion rights is an absolutely worms-for-brains take. Imagine thinking it’s an own to scold feminists for recently winning rights they had to fight tooth and nail for as opposed to simply, idk, being born with them???? The abortion rights campaign in Ireland was a grassroots-led movement in which trans and non-binary people played a huge role and while abortion accessibility might have taken us decades to achieve thanks to Ireland’s cultural and financial dependence on the Catholic Church — which, by the way, is a direct result of British colonialism — it is something we’ll go down in history for achieving from the ground up. And once we did achieve it, we immediately began looking at how we could help bring abortion accessibility to Northern Ireland — you know, the six counties of Ireland that are still part of the UK, which British feminists conveniently forgot about and left in the dust once they got abortion rights for themselves 50 years ago??? But sure let punching down on trans people be the great feminist debate of your time, what a shining example of feminism you are!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway trans and non-binary folks of Ireland, you’ve always had a special place in Irish feminism and therefore Irish society and no coloniser take is ever gonna change that. And trans and non-binary folks of the UK, I’m sorry your mainstream feminism repeatedly spits in your face — you deserve so much better. Whenever Covid pisses off and leaves us alone, come over for a drink with your Irish pals and sisters ❤️

you are not a feminist if you don't fucking support trans women. you are not a feminist if you deadname a trans woman behind her back. you are not a feminist if you come for a trans woman's jawline, or her voice, or stubble, or chest, or anything else that you are using to distance her from cis women. you're not a feminist if you use the terms "natural women" or "real women" or "biological women" when referring to cis women. you're not a feminist if you don't respect masc trans women/trans women who don't feel dysphoria or want to transition.

because the way cishet girls will claim to be feminists but then drag trans women is the shittiest, most two-faced shit i've ever seen.

if you call yourself a feminist, respect trans women.

It always makes me laugh when I see lesbian women supporting terfs because like. The exact same arguments were used against you not too long ago. Years ago, people were saying we needed to keep predatory lesbians out of women's bathrooms/spas/changing rooms/etc. Because of course, lesbians were just trying to creep on our good cishet women.

Gay men were wanted to be kept out of men's spaces as well. Because they were seen as a threat to our men, especially our little boys. If we allowed gay men into our spaces, they were going to attack and abuse our children. That's the entire reason they wanted in, remember?

And it's all fun and games saying trans people shouldn't be allowed in until you're mistaken for a trans person. Until a cis gay man is seen as a trans man. Until a cis gay women is seen as too masculine to be a real woman. And then it's not quite as good when you're the one being harassed for just trying to use the bathroom. When you feel the need to have to prove you have the right to be in there.

As a Black nonbinary lesbian who often feels that our community erases us, trans lesbians, and gender nonconforming lesbians, reading sapphic underground's community post on YouTube was very disappointing. Finding out that she is a terf is sad and her gaslighting and trying not to appear transphobic to keep subscribers is disingenuous and just as disgusting as her transphobia. Trans women have always been with and among us. Stormé DeLarverie and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy started the Stonewall Uprising yet many erased them from queer history and tried rewriting it. Terf lesbians do not speak for all lesbians in the lesbian community or represent all of us. They never will.

Like and reblog if your account is a safe space for trans lesbians. It feels like trans lesbians in particular get shamed and ridiculed a lot by people in and out of the community. If you’re reading this I want to let you know you’re valid and I hope your safe and doing well.

not that it's a competition, but lesbians and trans women are some of the most hated members of the LGBT community, both inside and out, and that's why I get so riled up when lesbophobes and terfs try to put us against each other. between terfs trying to convince lesbians that trans women are a threat, are predatory, and lesbophobes trying to convince trans women that lesbians are terfs, that they hate trans women, it truly sickens me! why can't we as a community just stick together and support one another?
