if phrases like "afab bodies", "amab people", "afab healthcare" ever leave your mouth, you are at best being quite cissexist, and probably (due to the uneven nature of regendering/degendering) being grossly transmisogynist. stop believing in immutable binary sex and start using accurate language.

[undeadscenequeen]

i feel like a good way of thinking of it is your AGAB isnt a type of body, its something that happens to it, and arbitrarily at that. also lbr, not just cissexist, not just transmisogynist or transphobic in general, if you talk about bodies like there's 2 completely separate types and thats it i dont trust your opinions on intersex people. i honestly doubt these people even think of us 😭

[lesbian-sweeney-todd]

yeah totally. sex assignment is a medical-legal process. an “AMAB” person might not have the body parts that “AMAB bodies” have for any number of reasons (intersex, transsexual, etc)

need to beam this tweet directly into everyone's minds right now

[ndnbutch]

sometimes i talk about how awful it was to feel trapped by my daily makeup routine and how i couldn’t leave the house without putting on a full face and it played a major role in the misery of my high school experience because i had to spend so much extra time getting ready in the mornings and that followed me into my early 20s as well and it was hell and it was so incredibly liberating to go through the slow and uncomfortable but ultimately essential process of getting my bare face back and having makeup be an optional accessory instead of a mandatory uniform. and the response always tends to be ah yes of course, because of your trans and your masculine. and it’s like aha so close! actually! I think if I ended up being a feminine cis woman I also still would not deserve even a second of that shit! I think trans women and nonbinary people and every human alive should have the option to leave the house without a single cosmetic product ever touching their face! but thanks for playing!

[ndnbutch]

and when I say people should have the option obviously I do not mean “yeah you can but everyone’s gonna treat you like you’re frumpy and weird.” I also kinda don’t even mean “you’re beautiful even without makeup!!” because like. well of course i think many people are. some of the most beautiful faces i have ever seen in my life have had not a drop of makeup on them. and that’s awesome or whatever. but it’s also kind of irrelevant to the overall point I’m actually making. really what im saying is it shouldn’t fucking matter if you are beautiful or even pleasant to look at at all! you should be able to just be, all the time no matter what. everyone around you should just treat you like a person who is worthy of respect and fair treatment regardless of what you look like. I am of course keenly aware that that is not presently actually how things work much of the time. but that end goal is what my stance on makeup is informed by. you should never ever ever fucking need it to be treated with decency.

In 1938, Polish Zionists attempted to make a coordinating committee of Jewish groups to fight against the worsening situation in the country. The Bund refused to join. To explain the decision, their leader Henryk Erlich described how Zionism collaborated with the racist Polish government that sought to expel Jews from the country.

"Zionism, in point of fact, has always been a Siamese twin of antisemitism," Erlich wrote. "Zionism has always regarded the law of force, of nationalistic action, as the normal law of history, and on this law has based its perspectives on Jewish life. In the forty years of its existence, it has always appeared lost and helpless in the presence of any victorious freedom movement [...]. The Zionists regard themselves as second class citizens in Poland. Their aim is to be first class citizens in Palestine and make the Arabs second class citizens."

The establishment of Israel would lead to perpetual war with its neighbors and the people it had dispossessed, Erlich wrote. "If a Jewish state should arise in Palestine; its spiritual climate will be eternal fear of the external enemy (Arabs); eternal struggle fit every bit of ground with the internal enemy (Arabs); and an untiring struggle for the extermination of the language and culture of the non-Hebraized Jews of Palestine [...]. Is this a climate in which freedom, democracy and progress can grow?" Erlich asked. "Indeed, is it not the climate in which reaction and chauvinism ordinarily flourish?"

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about a name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.
