whenever people talk about trans men I feel like they forget that not all trans men are white and/or living in countries with women's rights. obviously, trans men aren't women, but in some countries, if you're born with a vagina, you literally aren't allowed to speak in public.
HAPPY PRIDE

Those people who always insist that bi women can have boyfriends are, in my opinion, not even helping bisexual women by saying that.
It can be so fucking difficult for us to identify our same-sex attraction in the first place. The presence of OSA is often an eclipsing force.
And it is so so so easy to live and die in the closet as a bisexual. We can all come up with countless excuses that keep us afraid and hiding.
I like men so clearly what I feel about women must be platonic. I desire men so thereâs no way I would like vulvas and I need to stop worrying about it. If I catch myself having thoughts about women I can replace them with thoughts about men.
Doubling down all the time on the fact that we can have boyfriends only makes that closet door harder to open for other bisexual women. Other bisexual women hear that rhetoric and nod and say youâre right, letâs keep hiding.
#bi woman are constantly pressured to prioritize m/f attraction and relationships#bi women need to be told that we can be attracted to women can date women can marry women#we need to be told that sex and romance with men is always optional NOT that itâs valid#normalize never mentioning cis m/f relationships during pride month because itâs actually very important that pride is never about them
...yeah, and it's not as though any bi woman has ever been pressured to "just come out as a lesbian already" or told she owes it to the cause to prioritize women or that if she's in a relationship with a man she's "basically straight" and should be quiet when the real queers talk.
Could we maybe consider that there isn't a single unified bi woman experience or a single package solution, and that telling fellow queers "actually you're not queer enough, your relationship isn't queer enough, and pride isn't about you" never leads to anything good?
It may be a generational/location dependent thing because growing up in the 90s in the US when bi women could legally marry men but were banned from marrying women, the societal message of âonly relationships with men are allowed because they are normal and NOT gross and queer, lesbianism is queer and had better not be an optionâ was extremely clear. Marrying a man was good and societally approved and a Christian sacrament, wanting to marry a woman was bad and not allowed and the church wouldnât recognize it even if it were, etc.
Being with a man would have been safe and something I could tell my entire extended family about. Getting engaged to my girlfriend was a secret I couldnât tell anyone until I was out of college/grad school and financially independent in case I get disowned. If I had chosen a man I would never have had to be in the closet a day in my life, would have been able to show everyone my engagement ring and share my excitement the way my het-partnered cousins all did while I couldnât. Thereâs so much fear and secrecy and worrying that my familyâs love would turn out to be conditional that would never have existed if Iâd fallen in love with a man. I would never ever have had to hesitate inwardly before mentioning my husband in work/professional settings because it would always be safe to do so, never have had to turn down jobs because DADT was still in place and being in a relationship with another woman in that specific workplace was too risky, etc. Just, it would have been easier in a thousand little ways, and Iâve known that my entire adult life.
All that pressure of societal and family approval and legal legitimacy makes a lot of bi women in more conservative parts of the US succumb to comphet without even considering the alternative, because the alternative could cost them so much.
I think itâs really insidious how a lot of the western media actively goes out of its way to only platform antisemitic Muslims. There are lots and lots of lovely Muslim people who are outraged by antisemitism and standing up to it. In New York, there was literally just a Muslim womenâs group that protested your ousted Mamdaniâs office against his antisemitic behavior. But it got zero coverage outside of Jewish press (and Fox News did cover it but only because it was a protest against a democrat.) and itâs not just in the US. I see it in western European countries too. Extremists get platformed, and the many non-extremist people donât. the media contributes to creating a certain kind of divisive narrative.
I couldn't agree more. A lot of media loves nothing more than painting Muslims and Jews as eternal, intractable enemies and Muslims especially as dangerous and never compatible with Western, liberal values. It's absolutely vile.
The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.
âMore than fifty research and development facilities across thirty-one states. Gone. Consolidated into a single location in Fort Collins, Colorado. And âconsolidatedâ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, because what it actually means is that decades of place-based, long-term ecological researchâthe kind that literally cannot exist anywhere else because it depends on specific forests, specific watersheds, specific ecosystems studied over generationsâwill be snuffed out.
You cannot move a thirty-year watershed study. You cannot relocate a decades-long old-growth monitoring program. You cannot box up a forest and ship it to Colorado. When these facilities close, the experiments die. The datasets end. The partnerships with universities that took generations to build collapse. And the institutional knowledge of the scientists who ran those programs walks out the door, because the administration damn well knows most of them wonât follow a forced relocation to a single consolidated office that has nothing to do with the ecosystems theyâve spent their careers studying.â
Nine regional offices. 57 research labs. 193 million acres. An interactive map of what was lost.
Call your senators. Both of them. Tell them the Forest Service reorganization is proceeding without the congressional approval required by Section 716 of the Agriculture Appropriations Act and Section 421 of the Interior Appropriations Act. Use those numbers. Say them out loud. Staffers write down what they donât recognize, and these are the provisions their bosses voted for.
If your senator is a Republican, the question is simple: you voted for a law that requires USDA to get committee approval before reorganizing or relocating any office. USDA didnât get that approval. Their own lawyers declared your law unconstitutional. What are you going to do about it?
If your senator is a Democrat, the question is just as simple: the legal basis for stopping this already exists. Where are the subpoenas? Where are the hearings? Why is USDAâs general counsel allowed to declare a duly enacted law unconstitutional by internal memo and face no consequences?
Make them answer. Make their staff write it down. Call back next week and ask what happened.

Her case shows how abortion bans have left hospital lawyers, not doctors, deciding who gets care â and how lawmakers and regulators have fai
Yep I'm not shutting up about the fact that women--including Hillary Clinton--warned everyone things like this would happen 10 years ago, and were screamed at for "scaremongering" over SCOTUS. And now we keep seeing stories like this and the only people who seem to care are those very same women who knew this would happen way back in 2016, because everyone else a.) can't face what they did during that election and b.) genuinely does not care, because they don't view misogyny as a real form of oppression. Young women today have fewer rights than their mothers but are treated as hysterical bitches for daring to be outraged about that, as men scream and cry that Democrats don't coddle them and their uwu needs uwu enough
(The article isn't shy about mentioning the fact that the woman featured in the story is a Republican who couldn't believe the ban applied to her, too. This is necessary context, but soooo many left-leaning men will respond by saying "bitch deserved it!!!" because too many men fundamentally think brutalizing a woman's body is an acceptable form of punishment. Anyway I both loathe Republican women and think no woman should have her body controlled/denied necessary medical care by the state)
Itâs Time Traveler Tony! You can only reblog him once a year!
25 years ago an unknown Chinese protester stood in front of a tank in defiance of the government. No one knows the identity of the man but he was given the nick name âTank Manâ. This is one of the most iconic photographs of the century.
Itâs actually been 27 years now since the incident known as the Tiananmen Square Massacre occurred. The picture above, famously referred to as âThe Tank Manâ was actually taken on June 5, the day after the massacre. (Which honestly makes him the one of the bravest person, to go back and stand up to a regime after such a terrible event transpired)
So what happened? Iâm gonna give the TL;DR version:
April 15, 1989. Hu Yaobang, a former Communist Party Chief dies.
Many people, including workers, laborer, students and some officials come to mourn. You see, those protestors were originally there to mourn, not protest.
Time passed and there were some hunger strikes, and protests, and a call for accountability and reform from the government.
Eventually, things went south, because the communist party doesnât have time to deal with these sorts of âdemandsâ and grievances.
Keep in mind, the people wanted not the end of the Communist Party, but for the party to stop with the official corruption, rule of law, and the gross monopoly of information and power.
Incidentally, China still suffers from all of these SAME problems to this dayâŚ
June 3, 1989. The massacre started at night to disperse the crowd. Many were shot, wounded, and killed.
June 4, 1989. Some of the parents of the protestors who never came home went looking for them. It was still total mayhem.
June 5, 1989. The iconic image of the tank man was taken. To this day, no one knows what became of this person.

âTell the worldâŚâ
I cannot stress how important it is that people remember and know about this event. Do you know how China responded? With lies and censorship.
Even now, in 2016, we do not have an official death toll on the Tiananmen Square Massacre, the Chinese government doesnât even acknowledge the event as a âmassacreâ. And they weaves these cover stories of âcounter revolutionaries trying to overthrow the governmentâ. Therefore, the violence was necessary to ~protect~ the people. (Or some bullshit like that)
The amount of lying and censorship in China is, quite frankly, scary amazing. Tumblr, which somehow managed to fly under their radar, found itself being blocked in that country.
After all, tell a lie often enough and it becomes the truth.
And those who remember the incident in China? âŚâŚâŚâŚwell, you tell me.
Please at least REMEMBER this tragedy. Untold innocent lives were lost, and a nation has been fed a lie for almost three decades now from their oppressive af regime.
I have never seen this video before.
What the fucking hell.
What the hell.
Tiananmen Square happened when I was seven, and letâs just say children have a really interesting way of interpreting information.
I just remember thinking it was a happy event, because all these people were out on the street, and at first the army were interacting with these people. And it almost looked like a festival because people were singing and talking, and hopeful. And then tv coverage for the events got cut off.
The blocking of the live coverage had all the adults anxious, nobody said anything for ages, I just remember my grandmother saying, âJust be glad your father isnât in China, now.â
And that stuck with me to this day. Because yeah, if dad had been in China then he would have been in Beijing studying, he would have been on those streets with those other students.
It was the first time I knew that something horrible had happened to all those people I saw on the television. I donât even remember how I knew that the army must have shot at the civilians, I just knew. Because when you grow up in China, especially in the 80s you knew there were things you donât say, that you canât express in a public forum, because that can get you and your family in trouble. You just knew, and it didnât fucking matter if your were a child or an adult.
To this day I donât remember how I found out what happened in Tiananmen Square, because the news covered it up, but people found out. My grandparents knew, my uncles and aunts knew. Extended family visited my grandparents, I remember people telling my mother not to mention my fatherâs name because my father was a Chinese Beijing University graduate, who had gone overseas. Because there were people who died in the protests that my dad knew.
And it was all just so frightening because nobody was telling me directly what was happening, but I just knew that all the people on the streets was probably dead.
Looking back on it, Tiananmen Square instilled in a me a life long distrust of governments, but especially the Chinese government. Iâm ethnically Chinese but I never want to return to China, not even for a holiday, and this has been my attitude even before Xi Jinping took power. Because Tiananmen Square was a peaceful protest that ended up with the army using heavy artillery against their own people. How can you trust in a system, in a government like that? Because if my dad had delayed further studies overseas by two years he would have been one of those students, one of those fucking kids on the streets that would have died.
And you know, when the Umbrella movement was happening in Hong Kong I was deeply panicked and just anxious because I kept on thinking all those people, all those kids are going to be killed. And when that didnât happen it was such a relief.
When I found out years later that Chinese people a few years younger than me didnât know what happened in Tiananmen Square I was so fucking angry. I canât even articulate the rage and the sheer tiredness of it all.
Dad and I talked about Tiananmen Square a few times through the years, broadly, politically, and at times with sheer rage on dadâs part. I donât even know what I wanted to say, but just fuck this fucking regime.
I was In Hong Kong when Tiananamen Square Massacre happened. Hong Kong was still a British colony then and had full freedom of press, and its reporters were there recording live footage while trying to stay as long as possible when tanks rolled in and shots were fired, when students lay in blood and their fellow students piled the injured bodies on those wooden plank carts to get them to the hospitals, while asking the Hong Kongers who were there to support the movement to please remember that night and spread the story of the massacre far and wide, because they already knew they would be silenced, if not imprisoned or murdered.
That night, and in the upcoming months, Hong Kong was in perpetual tears, and in literal shock.

Leftists: "Zionists control Congress, so they're really the ones in power--"
Nah, because then you'd be too scared to harass Jews at Jewish festivals, synagogues, university campuses and rallies, the way you're too scared to harass Trump fans at MAGA rallies.
This much is clear. CBS is being âmurdered,â as Scott Pelley calls whatâs happening, not because of economics but because of politics. Economically, â60 Minutesâ is a gold mine. Politically, Trump thinks itâs dangerous as hell because it tells the truth about him and his regime, and wants it killed. Itâs important to see all this as a systematic effort by Trump to silence the truth about what heâs doing to America. Trumpâs increasingly corruption â rife with crony capitalism, corporate welfare, and payoffs to the powerful â is producing an increasingly corrupt economy in which everything depends on bribes and personal deals made by the biggest Republican loyalists and grifters, oligarchs and plutocrats, billionaires and multibillionaires, and monopolists. When political and economic deal-making become personal transactions â when greed and payoffs replace trust â what happens? Authoritarianism replaces democracy. And an economy collapses, as it did at the end of Americaâs first Gilded Age, in the Great Crash of 1929, leading to the Great Depression. One day we will look back on the murder of â60 Minutesâ as one of the travesties of Trumpâs despicable reign. In the meantime, thank you Scott Pelley for telling the truth. Thank you, former â60 Minutesâ producers, correspondents, and staff, for telling the truth. And now, what do we do in the interest of the truth? We boycott CBS.
CBS is dead.
