Ah, yes, I see you’ve taken notice of the fine knight I keep dangling in a big gilded cage above my evil throne. Quite the pretty little ornament the would be savior makes, wouldn’t you agree~?

What? No, it IS a big cage. That’s- it’s the standard size for a knight’s cage I’m pretty sure. NO I’m not going to invest in 500 square feet of dungeon, it’s ONE knight! I’m pretty sure knights live in hovels in the wild anyways which is basically the same- Look, the cage is quite literally gilded. He loves the cage! He loves obediently preening in the cage! Yeah well, when you capture your own knight you can keep it in whatever size castle you want to, but this one’s mine. Especially since you’re so obviously jealous of me and my cute and awesome knight anyway.

He loves the cage!

It turns out that actually standing by "men and women are not inherently very different" is a reliable way to bother absolutely everyone. Left or right, cis or trans, feminist or misogynist, all cling to the binary for dear life.

From the replies on this post:

[thesituation]

basically my opinion on many many things is “you should be allowed to do that and i should be allowed to be uncomfortable with it and the government and law should not be involved in this whatsoever”

[rabbitscreams]

something white people (and nonblack people of colour) need to know is that if your friend of colour comes up to you to tell you that you were being racist in some way or another, that is an act of trust.

[rabbitscreams]

to elaborate: if they dont trust you to react well to criticism about your behaviour, they wont say fucking shit to you. theyll just silently absorb it until they cant take it anymore. do you know just how many microaggressions and casual acts of racism are tolerated every day by the poc around you? probably not!

your friend saying "hey that was kinda racist :/" is you being given a chance to apologize to them and do better, rather than you getting relegated to being Yet Another Source Of Pain.

[prommytheus]

if i took a women's scholarship and then transitioned during college would that count as swindling

[prommytheus]

WOULD THEY TAKE THE MONEY BACK

[prommytheus]

plan of action:

> take womens scholarship

> go to law school

> transition during law school

> get sued about it

> take it to the supreme court

> defend myself

> trans rights?

Oh my god reblog to save a me thank you

[cotardkindrome1999]

Reblogging even though it's way past Halloween bc this is an important reminder!

Stay away from anything with charcoal during this season if you are on ANY medication!!!

[tyll-ulenspiegel]

This is misinformation!

Activated charcoal “flushes out” orally ingested medication. This is why it can “flush out” E pulls and birth control pills. It cannot “flush out” injected T or E, it cannot “flush out” a depo shot, and it does not impact it if you use something like T gel or patches.

You should only be careful if you take medication orally! Which is still a lot of people and important to know. But it does NOT impact anything that’s not orally ingested!

[smolpocketmonstercoffee]

Activated charcoal is used for oral overdoses and other such poisonings by less 'flushing' your system and more 'ABSORB EVERYTHING IN THE STOMACH SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO". Its why its used so much for fad diets and 'cleanses' because you are straight up not getting the nutrients you need and doctors who prescribe activated charcoal beside other orally taken medications are imbeciles.

I have had this conversation repeatedly. Activated charcoal is used to treat oral poisonings and overdoses, it does not discriminate against any and all other oral medications you take too.

Spotted hyenas' ears look like you could grab them like handles and shake their head affectionately like you can do to some dogs that like roughhousing. Spotted hyenas' faces look like they would enjoy having someone do that while play wrestling.

[zhenya-grey]

Today's a sad day that I have to inform you they are not actually dogs and fall under "feliformia" the same group as cats....

No I don't understand either.

[homunculus-argument]

I know they are cats. I just also know that they look like they'd like wrestling like dogs do.

[overfedvenison]

Well like... Feliformia is not really 'cat' That's a suborder just below 'Carnivora' meaning 'Cat-like.' A proper 'cat' would generally be considered of the family 'Felidae,' an order below Feliformia Hyenas are Family Hyaenidae, superfamily Herpestoidea, suborder Feliformia. In other words, they split off earlier than the Felidae family evolved, and just have cats as a 'cousin.' Hyenas are most properly their own family of animals, and are more closely related to Mongooses and Fossa than cats

[homunculus-argument]

Had to google fossa real quick to make sure they're the animal I thought they are. Turns out that yes.

This, too, is kitty.

[stranded-cryptid]

Which is crazy, because their scientific name means like "hidden butthole" or something, and we all know cats be flashing that thang.

[homunculus-argument]

If we define the catness of a creature by how willing they are to present their asshole, that would cover so many creatures that I personally would not classify as a cat. Including a significant subset of people on grindr.

[teaboot]

Maybe this was just how my family did things growing up but when I was a kid and we saw a lady with chin hairs or a small chest or large feet or a broad shoulders we’d say “it’s rude and mean to pick apart someone’s appearance” and mind our own damn business.

Apart from being reductive, transphobic, and anti-woman, all this “transvestigating” nonsense is just plain bad manners, and I think we should say that more

[thesealfriend]

"It's bad manners" is the only way I've gotten through to my transphobic family about a few things.

They don't understand "you don't ask a trans person's deadname because that's an invasive & often painful reminder of a traumatic part of their life", but they fully got on board with "you don't ask a trans person's deadname the same way you don't ask a lady's age, it's just rude"

Like, processing the actual reason for the rudeness is beyond them apparently but the arbitrary label of Bad Manners has a lot of power to it
