This is kinda ominous ngl
Gotta compliment him on his reflexes. No hesitation. Just described exactly what he was seeing, regardless of what it was.
[VD: A weatherman is giving a report and pointing to a map, saying "feel like temperatures really take a tumble too, because after the storm-" before he is interrupted by the screen going black and then displaying a picture of some baby spinach. He says, "um," then immediately points to the screen and confidently announces, "this is baby spinach." /End VD]
mind palace that was formerly a palace until the ruling family was killed mercilessly for its crimes. and now it's the thinking woman's socialist republic.
Mind People's Congress
evidently she does #ListenToWomen
"there's like 8 rich guys standing between us and shorter working hours / week" posting is fine until you think about it for two seconds and realize that the most rabidly anti-reformist group of people are the people with a bar and two employees who would amputate one of their worker's arms if it meant getting a 0.8% income tax cut
Persepolis's lies about child soldiers and the keys to heaven are what make me reject the memoir entirely. If she hadn't lied about that, I would have just chalked it up as a book with a narrow perspective on Iranian Revolution, typical of someone from her elite background and it wouldn't bother me nearly as much.
Help a Trans Woman secure HRT and an Education
Hello all. I am unfortunately coming to you, hat in hand, rattling my can, on behalf of a trans girl, Tessa, that I love dearly like a sister. She's been very housing insecure for a while, but fortunately, she's found stable housing. However, since she hasn't been able to work or continue her education, she has been having a hard time getting healthcare in the USA for HRT due to the cost or any amount of income to pay to finish getting her GED. Normally, I'd front the cost a bit, but unfortunately, the university does not pay me in the summer.
We're hoping to raise 500 Dollars for the HRT and 200 dollars for the complete cost of the GED testing. Her Ca$happ is $marbledcrayfish. Thank you so much for reading this and potentially helping Tessa out!

Thank you everyone! Just clearing/nearing the $ 200 mark means a lot to us. This means that Tessa can finally finish getting her GED, which opens up a lot more ways for her to be financially stable! We're very excited for her to have a pathway to a brighter future. We're now fundraising the rest of $ 700 for her to have a HRT stockpile in the medium-long term. Thank you all so much again!
321/700
We're almost halfway there! Thank you all so much! Tessa is over the moon about the prospect of getting to continue her HRT without interruption!
452/700
Thank you all so much! This helps Tessa afford HRT for the immediate future. We're looking to raise the rest for the medium/long-term so she won't have to worry about affording HRT while she finishes studying for/taking the GED. Even then, this much means a lot to me. It's taken an amazing amount of weight off our back!
do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets
her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.
remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.
thank you, Marsha. we remember you.
Queer unity has been trying as hard as possible to downplay any possible transfem issue. Pay gap adding up to thousands a year? Not a big deal. V coding? Never mention it. Trans women are much more likely to be sent to an early grave than their male counterparts? Stop bringing that up. Trans people collaborating with kiwifarms? Just internet drama.
You know what IS an important issue? Getting called a fucking birthday boy. They get all hands on deck about it. They will write VERY long posts about how important it is you not use it, and that anyone who does must be punished as severely as possible
There's only one explanation. The lives of trans women are so worthless to them, so fucking disposable, that a trans man getting invalidated is actually more important to them. That's how these people, who demand we view them as family and allies, who think we should be ready to die for them, view us.
I know people who treat house flies with more respect than that.
forever reminded of this fucking yt reply i got in a thread abt transmisogyny, this kinda attitude is so common. even when you do bring up shit that disproportionately or exclusively affects transfems the response is "what abt me" or downplaying it
its crazy how widespread the "rape actually only occurs in the vagina region of the natal female, else it is just sparkling assault" mentality is. the whole sexual assault powerscaling thing is a tough region to deal with because the whole convo is distasteful but like. i dunno. what are the health risks of anal rape. what might a man attempting to rape a woman do to her when presented with an unexpected genital configuration? i dont wanna downplay the nightmare of havin a babby growin in there even if you can get it out expeditiously but like surely boiling it down to "it only counts if the Rape Organ goes in the Victim Hole #myvictimhole" isnt an expeditious approach to examining sexual violence
like. it at least doesnt fly as a legal defense in the west too often anymore, but like. trans panic. even in otherwise consensual scenarios let alone rape when confronted with unexpected genitals you could even get a judge to be like NTA, murder is a completely reasonable and understandable response if girlygirl has peepee instead of pusspuss. theres a lot we could gain from examination of the shared basis and experience of sexual violence among cis and trans women and such if we looked even slightly beyond a view completely inscribing heteropatriarchal violence onto the existence of genitals!!!!
It's worth noting that you can be charged with sexual assault as a trans person for not disclosing your trans status in the UK, and they've already convicted a trans woman on those grounds. So not just "trans panic defense" but "trans panic grounds for criminal charges and state violence"
Why are you interacting with this trans woman? Don't you know she's a weirdo who keeps snails in her pencil box?
maybe "hegemonic women" is overselling it but it would be nice to have a term for the class of women the patriarchy sort of values/protects in comparison to those of us who it just uncomplicatedly wants dead. cis white women are living very different lives from the rest of us and I wanna call them "heg women" or something lol
cause terfism is extraordinarily heg woman behavior. just absolutely reveling in the power of their tears to influence the forces of patriarchy against marginalized women
"if we get rid of assigned sex then how will the state know who to protect?" 🫵 heg woman
like I wanna call them cis women but frankly they seem to be overwhelmingly white too. I can only guess not a lot of racialized women are under any kind of illusion about the patriarchy wanting to protect them. likewise I don't see a lot of disabled women thinking this way either. no, I think heg women by and large are the ones engaging in this kind of weaponization of their perceived fragility. the patriarchy has built them a gilded cage and they guard it fiercely
We honestly don't talk enough about how goddamn white TWERF circles are. Like, it is extremely rare to see black people, or any non-white people, espousing that ideology.
The fact that TWERFs just keep outing themselves as white supremacists is not a coincidence. It is very much a white movment.
tell a trans woman you love her today. please. tell her she's wanted and loved and treasured and special. tell her every kind thing in your heart that you feel for her. tell her that she makes it all worthwhile. tell her you love her and don't ever let go. tell her before its too late. please
i’ve said it before but i wish vaginas didn’t cost money
you literally can not have a vagina without paying for it. vaginoplasty for some, period products for others, if you want to stop buying period products that’s gonna be expensive medicine or an expensive procedure, recovery from surgery requires time off work and vaginoplasty specifically requires money spent on dilators. our bodies shouldnt cost us this much on baseline. having a vagina shouldnt have such a hefty tax on it. it makes me feel like i’m in a fictional dystopia written for middle school classrooms when i think about it.
