hey (with the intention of making you go to the bookstore with me)

[yzuposts]

Jesus fucking Christ. In the US they’re separating the MMR vaccine into three different shots?? Let me tell you fucking something: YOU CANNOT GET THESE AS SEPARATE SHOTS IN THE US! It is physically impossible to get these three shots separate.

So I guess kids are just going to get measles, mumps, and rubella now! Even though we have a perfectly good MMR vaccine for all three-in-one! Fuck Trump. Fuck Kennedy. Fuck Bill Cassidy and any of these republican dickheads who aided and abetted this grievous wrong to the future of America & all the children who WILL be affected by this. Goddamn monsters in charge.

[doubly-magic]

wait, are the shots only effective when theyre together? /genuine questions

[daysleftofsecondterm]

No, it’s just that the vaccine is only available together because the diseases have been eradicated for so long, we straight up do not make them separate anymore. Which also means that when people do get these diseases it’s gonna be a lot harder to treat and a lot easier to die.

[luesmainblog]

It should be noted that this whole "get the shots separately" thing comes directly from the scam that andrew wakefield lead in the UK in the late 90s, and the effective birth of the modern anti-vax movement. the entire point was to scare parents into getting separate vaccines - which was a more expensive option that wakefield stood to profit from.

the theory behind it was that the measles in the MMR vaccine would leave trace amounts of RNA in the intestines(none could be found when this was tested), which would then turn into "morphine-like substances"(no specific chemical named or found), causing non-specific colitis(bowel issues of varying kinds) which would then, somehow, cause Chron's Disease. that last part got changed to "it causes Autism" later on. Wakefield has since lost his medical license, as it was found that, among other problems, he and his team medically abused children to try and create the evidence to back up their claims.

This is, at this point, a very old method based around lies meant to build up a scam using children as props and tools. It should be called out as such.

Misogyny directed at white women is not anti-racism.

[valeriesolanasapologist]

Absolutely. It kills two birds with one stone:

1) further divides women along racial lines.

2) makes them look progressive under the guise of calling out racist white women*.

(*while conveniently leaving out the racism of their fellow white men.)

[mybloodrunsrad]

And racism directed at men of color is not anti-misogyny

religion is so fucking funny the world is just too beautiful there must be a higher entity behind all this. lets oppress women

it’s okay to have preferences but I’ll emotionally blackmail you if you do

[finnishrogue]

it has become obvious that 99% of trans activism is actually just about protecting trans people from becoming upset. it's all about not making them feel bad, like that's all there really is to it.

don't remind them of their sex it makes them feel bad. don't use the disliked pronoun it makes them feel bad. don't establish any boundaries it makes them feel bad. don't have preferences that exclude them it makes them feel bad. don't forget to mention them in every activist space in every conversation in every context or they will feel bad about not being centered.

nobody wants to be made aware that something about their body is unattractive to someone they have a crush on, that's not a trans specific experience. but it's also true that whenever someone turns you down, there's always something about you that the other person doesn't much care about, and that this is a 100% normal, neutral and universal feeling. you have also turned down other people (if not explicitly, at least in your own mind) for millions of reasons, many of which were based on things those other people did not have any control over. that is perfectly okay. that doesn't mean you hate them and that doesn't mean their feelings become your responsibility.

but if you don't want to be reminded that your penis is the very issue? well then just take the first "no" as a complete sentence. accept it when they just plainly tell you they're not interested in you, and don't demand for more details.

As if Joanne couldn't get any shittier, she misgendered and insulted a woman who called for support, all because the woman had PCOS/PMOS and "didn't sound feminine enough."

Fuck her.

Your shitty children's series isn't more important than people's lives.

[thesinisterspinster]

It's super common for men to call and harass just about any help line. They even call suicide help lines to fap to makeing the women uncomportable. Yeah if you do this you should be called out. I think your name should be published as well.

[asirpa-feminist]

As a CSA survivor it is infuriating that trans fanatics are deliberately misinterpreting the situation to fuel their JK Rowling hate boner

Some man rang a rape crisis hotline with bad intent and implausible story to harass rape crisis hot line workers and troon losers are framing this as some poor victimised baby who was trapped and violated (his details are not published dumbasses) and of course he would hang up (when he figured out she was already onto him) and how dare a rape crisis hotline record calls like it isn’t standard practice to record phone calls

PCOS does not make women look and sound exactly like men (I would know I have PCOS)

I find it extremely offensive that you are using my medical condition in your shitty gender identity ideology

Stop wasting time on services for rape/abuse victims

These services exist to help female rape victims not for your weird gotchas

@terracotta7 Fuck You

[sichorean]

I'm just going to say that we also had deep voiced "women" try and arrange to be "picked up" for transport to our intake center.

We had to be extremely careful because on *several* occasions this individual turned out to be a male who was extremely angry that our workers had assisted his ex-wife or girlfriend in leaving or divorcing him. One woman in 2006 was badly injured in this exact ploy. When we got to the point of stating that we would provide pickup services with a female police officer present, suddenly those calls ended.

Yes, there are many men who ring up and masturbate while describing sexual violence, and there's many men who ring up and just try to waste the time of the women running the phone lines. But there are also men who will try to manipulate workers into a physically unsafe situation.

A woman ringing up and stating she has PCOS and a beard would also have no reason to hang up upon being told the call was being recorded. A man who is lying to a support service and trying to cause trouble would.

While many surviving Jews fled Europe to Israel after the Holocaust, much of the rest of the world had either…

~ Perpetrated it — Germany, Romania, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Fascist Italy

~ Collaborated with it — Vichy France, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Greece, parts of Yugoslavia, Ukraine, and Poland

~ Stood aside — Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Turkey

~ Fought Germany, but did not prioritize rescuing Jews — United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union

~ Restricted or refused Jewish refugees — United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, France, and most Évian Conference states

~ Restricted Jewish escape to Palestine — United Kingdom

~ Opposed or fought the creation of a Jewish state — Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Yemen

And if your country somehow escapes that list but sits in the New World, there is a good chance your own society was built through conquest and settlement of somebody else’s homeland.

Jews, meanwhile, are a people whose history, religion, language, archaeology, and ancestry all originate in Judea.

So spare us the lectures about the supposed moral stain of Jews establishing a state there 80 years ago. Much of the world had just murdered them, helped murder them, abandoned them, shut its doors to them, or fought to prevent them from having a country of their own. And many of the people now shouting “colonizer” live on continents colonized far more recently by their own societies.

Seriously: STFU.

Out of all the radfem/terf takes, the idea that trans women “hate women” is kinda the silliest.

Like “I hate women so much, I’m gonna become one, and destroy them from the inside! Muhuhaha!!!!”.

It’s like something out of a kids show lol

[radfemart]

it's not a "take". we don't think trans identified males hate women. they tell us they do, every single time they talk.

don't think we're not paying attention.

[sossegato]

What peaked me, what I particularly couldn't help paying attention to, was the leniency and/or support for this.

"There's bad apples in every community" your bad apples, like "Sarah Jane" Baker, convicted for kidnapping, torture and murder attempt, leisurely leads trans events, is infinitely coddled, completely unbothered, uncriticised, applauded. A male torturer shouts "punch women in the fucking face" and you, the good ones, the only really empathetic ones, think it's hilarious. Because some women deserve to be beaten by men, right? And it's the men who decide which ones.

It's a recurrent event. The criminality pattern of trans-identified men is ignored and made light of. If you bring it up, if you question it, you'll be at fault, you'll be the dangerous one, not the men harassing, raping and killing and demanding unrestricted access to women and girls.

Your bad apples run the show and you clap like morons.

Then some spoiled nobody who's never had a real problem in their sheltered little life says it's silly we notice. Those hysterical, crazy feminists amirite. el oh el

[niiwa-angel]

Allow me to add my own receipts.

These are our sisters? These are the men that "don't hate women" like you claim OP? Are you SURE they don't hate us? This isn't something I write about people I love and aspire to.

[benyw]

You lot are such fucking hachlings.

Anyone who has worked a female support hotline knows all too well that men call in to troll, jack off, and insult the women workers on the other end of the line.

This wasn't a woman calling for help, it was a man trolling. Grow up. You live in the same world as the rest of us, and should be able to recognise misogynistic male behaviour when you see it by now.

[joannerowling]

In order to know this, they would have to have any idea what it's like to work in the first place, let alone for a hotline, let alone for a hotline dedicated to supporting women.

[male-class-treason]

Also, even in the extremely unlikely event that the people who answered that call were mistaken and it really was a woman with PCOS and not a man trolling...so what? There was no identifying information about the caller in that tweet, and there are many other shelters besides Beira's Place. Blame the trolling men for making life more difficult for women with "masculine" attributes, not the women who have every reason to be vigilant.
