hi

[luckandfear]

I'm just literally trying anything in a full attempt to get myself back on track. This last year my health has been at an all time low, leaving myself in a mess. I'm trying to get myself back in a reasonable place and not just end up homeless. Any help at all would be appreciated beyond words. My PayPal is [email protected]

lmao @ liberals saying we should all stop putting celebrities on pedestals because “look at who JK Rowling turned out to be!” and then immediately proceeding to… put every male celebrity on a pedestal because they called JK Rowling an uneducated bigot

[furiousfem]

every adjective used to dismiss Rowling’s opinions - white, cis, straight, rich - also applies to Radcliffe, Redmayne, and every #woke male celebrity virtue-signalling right now. and yet their opinions are boosted. it’s almost like… the problem isn’t her whiteness… or social class or heterosexuality or ‘gender presentation’… it’s almost like there’s something else that distinguishes her from these men and visibly impacts how people treat her… something that also encourages people to celebrate her abusive ex-husband and the editors who rejected her writings… hmmmm I wonder what that could be

You can pretty up your misogyny with as much pretty academic language as you want, but that won’t make it less misogynistic

[escapethecult]

Screen grabs and quotes from the documentary “My Transgender Summer Camp” feat. sexist parents who transed their two-year-old because he liked glitter. I guess if I’d been born ten years after my actual birthday, my “I hate pink” phase would have meant I would grow up to be a trans man.

Also note the phrasing at the end: “At the age of three, Ryan’s parents –”. Sounds about right, because turning your effeminate son into a girl seems like a decision only a three-year-old would make.

Oh, and, no, I didn’t leave out anything relevant they said. They literally went straight from “He liked pink and sparkles and that was strange” to “We started researching transgenderism.”

Kids like bright colours generally. That people try to steer boys toward blue and red and away from pink, and girls toward pink and purple is just ludicrous. They’re fucking colours, and blue used to be considered a girl’s colour, while pink was a boy’s colour. But to follow the logic of these fucking idiots, every single little boy growing up in the early 20th century was actually a girl if he didn’t reject pink.

[sa2ha]

I feel like (actually I KNOW) that when yall say that we have to break gender roles or post those cutesy “gender isnt real” posts/images all yall mean is “let boys wear crop tops uwu” and all that its always centered around men being cutesy which actually isnt frowned upon by women like at all… like Every ugly man thats feminine instantly gets 100k on instagram. yall only mean “let men wear pink” or “let my cute boyfie wear blush and highlight” its NEVER about gender non conforming women (lesbians !! butch lesbians!!!) you just dont care you say “break gender roles” all you want but you want people to break them to the point thats comfortable to YOU. The furthest you will go is straight skinny girls with pixie cuts and men wearing pink but you get uncomfortable the fucking second a woman DARES to be masculine the second she DARES to be unbothered by mens beauty standards and live comfortably the way she WANTS to and yall lose your minds the second you see a fat woman do that. All in all gnc positivity is so very much centred around men catering to straight girls fantasies of being ~soft boys~ while butches still and always will get tons of shit for merely existing as a lesbian and as a woman who isnt attractive to straight men.

[sa2ha]

I’m actually just tired of that fake gender non conforming positivity when its so transparent what you actually mean and that you want men to cater to your straight fantasies when i KNOW that all of you straight girls frown and spit on butches when you see one. You dont want anyone to break gender roles you want everyone to cater to your feminine fantasy.

I don’t think feminism stands to gain anything by pretending that it’s easy to be a feminist. When I see or hear things like “80% of the world is feminist, a feminist is anyone who believes women should be equal,” I’m not comforted. I don’t see what the movement has to gain by pretending that misogyny is not the default in most people, and that being a feminist is as easy as buying into a buzzword. Feminism is hard. It requires examining our own beliefs and behaviors, a constant struggle to root out misogynist and patriarchal beliefs and behaviors, analysis of how our actions and the actions of others are harmful to women, and a conscious effort to change. Not just one time, but every day. To pretend that anyone who “believes in equality” is automatically a feminist is to leave the status quo untouched, to dress up oppressive behavior as liberating if we affix a “likes women” badge to it. To pretend that the fix is easy is to ignore that the disease permeates every aspect of our society, and to avoid naming the problem and telling people that work is actually involved is to fail women in the name of making others comfortable.

If you see something, leak something

Several news sites have set up ways for whistleblowers to contact them securely. Some have very good instructions and guidance on which method you might want to use. Spread it around.

Things you should consider doing before Trump becomes president

-Get any doctor’s appointment taken care of if you have Obamacare -Take advantage of any student loan forgiveness if you can -Get an IUD if you need birth control -Legally change your name if you’re trans -Get a passport -Save up your money

We have little under two months until the presidency changes over. Take advantage of your rights while you have them. Please feel free to add onto this post, these are the only things I can think of right now.

For everyone planning to kill themselves in the event of a Trump victory:

Don’t.

We need you. The world needs you. We’ve been through this before, in one way or another, and we have prevailed. Who benefits from your death? Only those who want you silenced.

There will be blue skies ahead. There will be triumphs. This is not the end of the world.

Do not go gentle - we are here today because of the stubborn refusal of our predecessors to go away. There are oases even in the darkest of times. You are not alone, and you have not been abandoned. There *will* be blue skies ahead, and you will live to see them.
