as a teen, i was constantly harassed by adults enforcing ''dress codes'' on me. I very much experienced this as sexual harassment. I think this is one of many cases where people would more easily understand this as sexual harassment if I described it as if it happened to an adult.

imagine being on your lunch break, and your supervisor comes over to your table, tells you to stand up in front of everyone. they draw everyone's attention to your thighs. they tell you that you have broken the dress code because of the length of your shorts. they tell you to go change (so you do not get the rest of your lunch break). they do this every single day at lunch. every day. so you read the whole dress code front and back, and you choose your clothing carefully to not break it. you bring a cloth tape measure with you to work because they will not believe you. this time when your supervisor tells you that you're breaking dress code, you pull out your tape measure and show that you are within the limit. your supervisor says "I bet you wouldn't want me to bring you to the boss and let him measure it, would you?" it's clearly a threat: if you don't obey then you will be put alone in a room with your boss and he will touch your thighs. you don't know how to respond. you're taken out of lunch again.

this was my experience at school. replace supervisor with "teacher" and boss with "principal." this was sexual harassment. fuck dress codes.

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

You shouldn’t have to be trans to get any sex characteristic-related surgery. It’s not a limited resource. Plenty of cis men get implants and cis women get breast reductions. From Colby Gordon today and Leslie Feinberg in Transgender Warriors (1996).

Just fell down a flight of stairs while watching a video on my phone that was playing the theme from Rocky

Having to hear the music where a guy triumphantly climbs a flight of stairs while actively falling down a flight of stairs is kind of magical honestly

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

[asneakyfox]

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

[mystery-incorporated-whore]

it is genuinely fucking insane how difficult talking to normal people is after spending any amount of time on radical tgirl tumblr

even the most fucking milquetoast takes like "communism is worth serious discussion actually" and "the us military is an oppressive regime" get you funny looks and anything beyond that like "marriage should be abolished" or "incest is not the moral and genetic black hole you think it is" or "children should have legal autonomy" instantly turn the entire room against you

#this is nice but i have questions#for instance what if they see shit that’s not for kids because the computer can’t tell they’re underage#i feel like a better solution is to like…keep kids off the internet

You cannot promote child safety by making a giant list of underage internet users and all their personal information that tech companies pinky promise to keep safe. You cannot realistically keep children off the internet in a world that is progressively built more and more around the internet and children's social lives outside of school and home are constantly curtailed. You cannot keep children safe by treating the ability to use computers in general as a forbidden fruit, because suddenly "browsing facebook or tumblr" and "sending pictures of yourself to strangers in DMs" are being treated as the exact same kind of taboo, and when you violate the first one and predictably don't get hurt as a result, the second one isn't going to set off the alarm bells that it should.

The solution is to teach children—in advance—basic internet safety rules like never giving away personal information and never assuming that the person on the other end of the screen is actually who they say they are and has your best interests in mind (both of which, funnily enough, laws like this also fly directly in the face of) and that if something does happen, they can come to parents or other trusted and go 'hey, I saw something/wound up in a situation that made me feel weird or uncomfortable, how do I protect myself from it happening again?' rather than letting it spiral. You treat kids like the people—albeit still learning ones—that they are and deal with them honestly, being up front about any concerns you have for them and the fact that using tech is a privilege that comes with certain benefits, risks, and responsibilities. You don't treat them as criminals-by-default needing to be stripped of freedom and call it protection, because if you do, you're priming them to get manipulated by the first person to show them (or pretend to) a modicum of actual respect.

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs
