I mean, kids SHOULD have a space where they can communicate without adults policing their language as a form of control. They should definitely have that. Swearing is fake. It's made-up bullshit. It's used to reinforce unequal power structures. Just look at who cannot swear in front of who.

Let kids say 'fuck'. It's harmless unless you're a cunt about it.

(Because this is the piss on the poor site, no, swearing is not the same as swearing AT.)

recipe makers NEED to stop framing vegan food as “healthy food” and assuming that the vegan cook/eater requires caloric and macronutrient breakdowns on every recipe or food review. fixating on notions of “health” (read: weight loss) when it comes to veganism not only nullifies the ethical commitment the lifestyle implies but also assigns a new, wildly unethical and dangerous social imperative of body punishment instead. this creates a deadly environment for vegans with EDs, as well as others whose class/disability/ etc contexts require them to consume processed foods.

The imbrication of contemporary “plant based” culture with diet culture/antifatness is stripping bodily autonomy from marginalized people who want to follow their ethical commitments, but cannot do so without putting their lives in danger.

#hate that veganism is still equated with a diet

EXACTLY! veganism is not about weight loss. it is not about starvation. it is not about restriction. it is not about thinness.

& I want fat vegans, vegans healing from eds, vegans who mostly eat “junk food”, vegans who eat instant meals, vegans who are gaining weight / want to gain weight, to know: I love you so fucking much and you are doing awesome!!

as vegans, our goal is to improve our individual & collective relationships with other living things, and, through the minimization of harm + maximization of active compassion, create the ecological conditions for truly collective, multispecies liberation from all systems of hierarchy and oppression.

this praxis starts within. It is incompatible with a worldview that celebrates restriction, one that promotes hierarchical visions of “health” and “beauty” as social status markers. we have the opportunity to reimagine the world with care and intention. to cook and eat toward that purpose (how cool is that!!). don’t make the mistake of equating our political orientation with reactionary pro-diet, anti-care politics.

You are not safe from this. You, the person reading this, are not safe from this. No matter how educated or open minded you think you are, you are not safe from this. The moment you think you are safe from it is the moment you become the most susceptible.

Its similar to why you cannot put bad people in a class of their own. The moment you do that you stop being able to see the bad things that the people closest to you do a la "my best friend couldn't have said that racist thing, they're not evil."

The moment you think you are immune from this type of backslide into right wing nonsense is the moment you stop questioning yourself enough to keep yourself from backsliding into right wing nonsense a la "I mean im not antiscience, im vaccinated, I just think that fluoride in our water supply is imparting children's ability to learn as fast as they otherwise could without it."

Remember, being progressive means progressing, its about always moving forward. The moment you rest on your laurels and stop putting in effort to keep the progression is the moment you start becoming left behind.

And it's not just older people. Some of the most rancid, frosty cold, exclusionary puritanical shit I've ever heard in my life has come from the mouths of very young "leftists" who think they have nothing to LEARN. Progress hinges on nuance and compassion.

werewolf-transgenderism

it pisses me off SO bad how transphobes have so effectively used sports to launder transphobia and misogyny to people. like does nobody remember like ~5-10 years ago when it was a MAJOR feminist talking point to argue for desegregating sports and going by skill level instead of gender separation??? and now, because so many cis people hate trans people so violently and think we should be excluded from all aspects of public life, you’ve got a whole bunch of women who call themselves feminists laundering misogynistic talking points about how “women are just inherently weaker and worse at athletics than men :(( it’s just biology and women are inherently inferior :(( this is definitely not misogyny that’s unsupported by science, women are just weaker and worse at things :((“ like girl open your ears and listen to what you’re saying!!

this pride month i want everyone to consider the benefits of abolishing the sex binary

transxfiles

furthermore, abolish the government systems that require people to categorize themselves into gendered categories. why do y'all need to know that.

transxfiles

no more assigning babies a legal sex at birth. i feel like this should go without saying, but no more surgeries on intersex infants. no more surgeries on intersex children. embrace intersex traits as natural. because they are.

no more gendered dress codes. no more gender markers on passports, driver's licenses, ids. i'm not talking about "adding x" or "adding a third category" i'm talking about no more categories, period. why does the government need to know what my genital situation is? why does the government feel the need to assign me a sex on the basis of genitals? why does the cop who pulled me over need to see an m, or an f, or an x?

no more "gender is a social construct, sex is the thing that's binary." sex is not binary. abolish the idea that it is. normalize conversations about intersex traits. being intersex is natural. the sex binary is a thing imposed by the state.

no more gendered sports. if you really care about equity, sort people into categories based on skill level and athleticism, not gender or sex. the concept that there are only two sexes and that one is inherently weaker than the other is pseudoscience. the male/female hunter/gatherer dichotomy is not based in fact, and is a product of modern sexist cultural biases. one gender is not inherently subservient to the other. people are not inherently different on the basis of sex or gender. it is just more complicated than that.

the concept of multiple genders and sexes beyond the man/woman male/female dichotomy has existed as long as humans have existed. the sex binary only serves to benefit the patriarchy. the gender binary only serves to benefit the patriarchy. continuing to impose it just controls (and harms) the people it forcibly categorizes.

i'm not asking for the end of gender, i'm calling for an acknowledgement of gender and sex that understands the infinite diversity of the human species. i'm suggesting an end to binary systems that only benefit the ruling class. just think about it. okay?

I had my first orgasm since bottom surgery today.

This sign? :)

This person is containing their gender as a private string, which would be a line of plain text contained on their own machine which would be free to edit, and not as a public constant Boolean, which would show on everybody's machine, would be read only without possibility of edit, and would be a binary true false statement.

So basically, "It's my gender, it's not a binary, and I'll do what I want with it!" 🤍💜💛🖤

vis a vis recent discussions about bottom surgery: i see people saying that tgirl pussy is "normalized" and i see people saying that tgirl dick is "normalized". i need everyone to remember the actual world we live in which is one in which NONE of it is normalized. the "normative" way for a trans woman to be is dead or a man. our very existence is radical. don't make decisions about your body on what is or isn't radical "enough" and definitely don't inflict judgement onto your sisters on what choices they're making. any kind of transition at all is the most radical thing in the universe. you are living and you are creating yourself and you are being a woman in opposition of everything everyone in the world is telling you. tgirl pussy and tgirl dick are both perfect because tgirls are perfect. it is simultaneously true that wanting to keep your dick is judged and wanting bottom surgery is judged because everything we do is judged. love yourself and your sisters

Real Guide To Real Anal

Ok, there's a lot of well-meaning misinformation around from people who are just repeating what they've heard, so please, take it from someone with >25 years of experience of anal play of various kinds:

On cleanliness...

Not only do you not need to douche, but also, for most people most of the time, it's better if you don't. If you need to be absolutely clean as a whistle for a porn shoot or something, go for it. But otherwise, your gut is an amazing self-balancing system, that will take care of itself so long as you don't sabotage it by hosing it out. Douching can easily cause an upset gut that you'll then blame on the anal instead. So consider not doing that.

Unless you have a medical condition that precludes such, you have the ability to tell if you "need to go", based on sensations in the sphincter. If you don't have the feeling that you need to go, or at least reasonably could go, then you don't need to worry about anything; you can hop straight on that dick if you want to; it'll be fine.

If you follow the above advice, then 95% of the time it'll come out completely clean, 5% of the time there will be the tiniest amount of shit, an amount that can be cleaned in 2 seconds with a wet wipe or similar. And, you were going to clean it at least that much afterwards anyway, right?

Some further general tips:

Do: enjoy a good amount of fibre generally in your diet on a daily basis if you want things to come out clean.

Don't: make sudden drastic changes to your diet or take laxatives/anti-diarrhoea meds to try to vacate it or placate it. Once again, your gut is an amazing self-balancing system if you will kindly just let it do its thing.

Finally, some things I've generally assumed:

I assume you know about basic safe sex and can make your own decisions in that regard re what's an acceptable risk to you. I'm not going to tell you always use condoms or never do such-and-such because you know what, I'm not the boss of you. Use them or not, do things or not, it's your call.

I assume you know to use lube, and also to start small if unsure and work up. Your mileage may vary, but it is usual to discover that the difficulty of receiving anal has been greatly overstated, mostly due to prudish cishets being overrepresented in media and in life.
