Piping hot take but I think your taste in music has exactly nothing to do with your sexuality, more news at 8

it's ironic that ableds love using disabled people for inspiration porn but hate actually giving the vast majority of disabled people the tools and accommodation to facilitate disabled people doing more with their time. it's almost like the point of it isn't to inspire but to create a false narrative that disability can be overcome with strength of will because look at these people who did it! now stop asking for help

Happy pride month to the lesbians and only the lesbians

asking the “genital preference” crowd what they think happens during conversion therapy is always fun because you get to see them completely short circuit

[tehm-ally]

ive actually never seen one of them attempt to answer

[drenren]

I’m convinced they all think it’s medieval torture and shock therapy. They don’t want to admit that their rhetoric is lifted directly from modern conversion therapy.

You’re being selfish. you’re being shallow. Why are you so obsessed with genitalia? You’re telling me that all you’re interested in is sex? Have you considered a sexless relationship? You can always try and see how you feel. Just because you didn’t like it once doesn’t mean you will never like it. Let’s talk about why you’re so fixated on genitalia. What if you found you soulmate, but it turns out they’re the opposite sex, you would really just lose interest? Look how you’re hurting all these people - you’re saying you find them repulsive? How do you think that feels?

I’ve heard it all. I’ve been through it all. Modern TRA rhetoric is literally conversion therapy and it’s often actually more overtly hateful and full of vitriol than the standard

[apostasy-is-ecstasy]

I was put through conversion therapy as a teenager. There were no electric shocks involved, no chemicals, no beatings. What did happen was a very friendly, charismatic and manipulative woman sat me down twice a week, asked me simple questions about how I experienced attraction and then shamed me and nitpicked every single answer I gave.

It's a subtle psychological torture, no matter how resilient you are it will slowly get under your skin and stay there. Conversion therapy isn't what was portrayed on AHS you idiot children, it's literally the same things I see on twitter every day.

[daughterkos]

When TRAs accuse lesbians of having a genital preference and tell us that's unacceptable and that we need to unlearn that, the only useful response is to ask THEM whether THEY would personally have sex with someone with a dick. The answer is obviously no, because they're hypocrites and their only goal is to bully lesbians into having sex with them. No one is telling straight men to unlearn their genital preference -- their only goal is to violate the sexual boundaries of lesbians because they want sex with females and know that straight women won't want them. Neither do lesbians, but since they have an entitlement complex and are also upholding their delusions of being women they expect for us to make dating and sex equal-opportunity and turn our bodies into their free-for-all.

Rant over. Fuck TRAs

[genderisareligion]

Happy Pride Month here's your much needed reminder that same sex love is beautiful it's 1000% okay to reject dick havers for any reason and anyone who tells you otherwise is backwards and homophobic 🏳️‍🌈👩🏽‍❤️‍💋‍👩🏾

[radishnt]

“but what if my friend gets offended and hates me and refuses to speak to me after i set a boundary” easy peasy! that is not your friend. hope this helps

[voltairineandviolethaze]

Every institution of our day, the family, the State, our moral codes, sees in every strong, beautiful, uncompromising personality a deadly enemy; therefore every effort is being made to cramp human emotion and originality of thought in the individual into a straight-jacket from its earliest infancy; or to shape every human being according to one pattern; not into a well-rounded individuality, but into a patient work slave, professional automaton, tax-paying citizen, or righteous moralist.

- Emma Goldman, “The Child and Its Enemies” (1906)

[fenrichaita]

"They should have been bullied more."

The idea that some people deserve or need to be traumatized and abused into being "fixed" is also the same principle behind why abuse is such a widely accepted component in the treatment of disabled and pathologized people. Just in case you didn't know.

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

You. Cannot. Tell.

[redfemmayy]

But then what will men use to blame women for the violence of men ?

[femsolid]

Often, men will say something like : "Who built this world? Men! Who created everything, all the technology, the great art, the culture, our societies? Who built the roads you drive on? Men!" and feminists will respond "That's because you didn't let us work or make art!" and... that's just wrong? Why are you validating the idea that women didn't contribute anything to the world? That we didn't work? That we didn't innovate? And why are you approving the nonsense that says being a mother is not work?

Don't let men rewrite history.

Women have always worked the double shift; outside of home and inside of home.

[radiant-spirit-guardians]

Oh, don't be silly. Abusive men don't think revealing outfits are an invitation to assault women, that would be preposterous! They think your very existence is an invitation to assault you.

To them, it does not matter if you're wearing a niqab or a bikini or a hospital gown. It doesn't matter if you're dead or alive. It doesn't matter if you're ninety-nine or two years old. It doesn't matter if you're a stranger or their wife of 50 years.

Don't believe their excuses.

It's not your fault. It's theirs.

[kindradical]

They'll find myriad of excuses. If you were fully covered maybe you were drunk. If you were sober maybe you were flirting. If you weren't flirting maybe you were just playing hard to get. If you weren't playing hard to get maybe you just didn't fight back enough or at all....

And the horrible thing about realising that is not only they're absolutely irredeemable rapists. And one of them hurt you. For me it was also a chilling realisation that no matter what you do, no matter what you say, no matter what you wear, you can never really make yourself safe from rape. You can only mitigate the risk.

This is also the reason why victims so often blame themselves. Not because they believe they are guilty, but because they are looking for any sort of agency in a situation where they were deprived of it

It's a truth that is both painful to internalise, and necessary for you to understand in order to heal. A fucking catch 22 as most things when it comes to sexual assault.

[daughterkos]

I'd like to add that the notion of rape being about sexual attraction and "overwhelming lust" creates an opening for rapists to try to discredit their victims using the rhetoric that the victim "wasn't attractive enough" to be raped. Sadly in our rape culture bystanders also apply this logic. Yet men will rape any and every given woman or girl, and there is no such thing as being too old/fat/ugly to be raped because rape is an opportunistic crime fueled by the desire to dominate and break the target -- not by lust.

[wholeheartedsuggestions]

no one is coming to save yo- wrong!! everyone who has ever shown you love and/or care is saving you a little bit.

[clickrtrained-deactivated202512]

an alarming number of you have forgotten that girls rule and boys drool

[moved-to-empresscaress]

I hate the entire concept of rehabilitating a rapist. Rapists aren't ill. Raping is not a symptom. It is a misogynistic hate crime. Stop letting violent men pathologize themselves out of consequences. They're not the ones suffering from what they've done.
