the best colloquialism my friend group has is we use this as a reaction image and we call it gobkat
we say it all the time we're like "im gobkatting rn" and it sometimes slips out in conversation with people who dont know. like all the time actually that's how frequently we say gobkat.
i love you women with big noses
I need everyone start responding to people who call criticism of zionism/Israel “antisemitism” by treating those people as antisemitic themselves. As Matt Lieb of Bad Hasbara fame explained very eloquently, calling anti-zionism antisemitism tacitly assigns genocide and apartheid as a Jewish value, which is antisemitic.
“the medicalization of dysphoria only serves to gatekeep transition” we literally realistically will never live in a world where transition is not a “medical” process because HRT is medication and surgery is surgery (and trans people who don’t want to transition don’t have to!). we HOPEFULLY will eventually live in a world where transition isn’t gatekept, but how on earth will separating dysphoria from being a medical issue result in more people being able to access what essentially boils down to “gender-affirming medical care”? i’m just so sick of being treated like a transphobic threat to the community when my chronically-ill POV is “something being called a medical issue does not imply ulterior motives or negative connotations about that issue”
i don't want to share a movement with people who are openly saying "yeah, yeah, we'll fight for all the people who are being gatekept out of transition through medicalisation... just as soon as i got mine" did you know that before gender dysphoria was a diagnosis people still transitioned. isnt that funny how that works. do you think Ray Blanchard invented HRT in 1994 or something
It seems like anon is just taking the word "medicalization" and (intentionally or not) being like "well medication, ergo medicalized" but like let's compare what it was like for me to get on hrt vs Roxanne. In the US we have informed consent, I was able to walk into a planned parenthood and walk out with a prescription for estradiol and spironolactone the same day. This was in a conservative area, the local planned parenthood didn't even have any doctors that worked there! Meanwhile Roxanne, had to wait (iirc 6-8 years) before being able to start. In most countries, there is a concerted effort to make sure hrt is only given to "true transsexuals" who fit the diagnostic criteria of "gender dysphoria". This is why we have a problem with the reification of gender dysphoria, it is a diagnosis used to determine who "actually" deserves access to gender affirming care
i knew i was trans by 13, i was in the queue for the gender clinic at 14, where there was such administrative mismanagement & straight up coercing me off the list that i didn't get to start attending appointments proper until i was an adult. i was 22 when i was allowed to get on HRT -- at the time, that was considered fast, and it's only gotten worse since.
No, 224 years is not a typo
under the dictatorship of alberto fujimori, USAID funded peru's "family planning" program, which was used to sterilize 300,000 indigenous women, often through deception or in exchange for basic necessities such as food or medical care
A system of incentives and sanctions reinforced the policy: healthcare providers received cash or in-kind payments for each sterilized woman, while promotions, demotions, and the allocation of medical equipment were tied to the fulfillment of sterilization targets and quotas. The program was also implemented through mass campaigns. DEMUS reported large-scale operations aimed at recruiting women for tubal ligation, including so-called “ligation festivals,” which promoted sterilization as a path to happiness and often offered food or money as incentives.
Deceptive practices were widespread. Many women were misinformed about the nature of the procedure or told it was minor. In other cases, they were offered debt forgiveness related to childbirth or abortion in exchange for agreeing to be sterilized. Within a broader context of poverty and exclusion, sterilization often became a transactional means of accessing healthcare or food, services the state was already obligated to provide.

not coincidentally, US president george h.w. bush's administration was very pleased with the mass privatization fujimori's regime was implementing
There's a documentary about this, that recopilated testimonies of different indiginous women.
272,000 women and 21,000 men were sterilised in the 90’s in Peru. Thousands have claimed this happened without their consent, but until now
I always hate doing this. It's that time of the month again where im Fucking Broke. Bills are paid, cat is accounted for, i just need to feed myself till the 15th and ideally be able to get a bus to the dentist on the 9th. If I hit £35 ($46) total I think I'd be fine, but as always literally anything helps. Anything over that goal will be refunded. As always, thank you all for your continued support.

American 'leftist' writer covering socialist history: While many people associate socialist states with the totalitarian Soviet model which insisted on building massive walls around their political process for secrecy and control, claiming manipulatively that these walls were built for reasons of "security against Western capitalist subversion of our politics", not all socialist states have been so dictatorial or undemocratic. Consider this example of a socialist party in the Global South that arose after centuries of colonization and imperialism, yet chose to develop in a peaceful way with elections totally open to the benevolent influence of donors and private media, and budgets spent on welfare programs rather than the paranoid military expansion of the warmongering Soviets. This shows us that socialism need not be totalitarian or militant, but can be open, democratic and free :)
Readers in the West may now wonder why they have not heard of this wonderfully democratic socialist party, or why their country is today a state that struggles with immense corruption, wealth inequality, and a politics that caters more to Western markets than local development. Sadly, this is because the democratic and inclusive socialist party was overthrown after less than a decade in power due to a combination of rigged elections, military coups and color revolutions, all of which have been linked to activity by Western intelligence agencies to compromise their democratic process, build distrust and hatred against the socialist parties, and incentivize the upper classes (who had been 'democratically' allowed to participate in the political process) to sabotage the socialist movement. Tragically, this led to the butchering of all socialists and leftists in a massacre that claimed millions of lives, and the establishment of a right-wing government/dictatorship that ruled over the country for decades and turned it into a resource mine and military proxy for Western interests, growing fabulously rich in the process.
The lesson to be learned from these incidents is that the totalitarian Soviet model of government hurts not only its own citizens, but also all socialist states across the world, even the ones that are democratic, civilized and not at all savagely repressive of the upper classes. While the actions of Western intelligence can seem excessive and brutal, the presence of Stalinist regimes that call for military development, political secrecy and total opposition to all forms of 'Western interference' in defense of state socialism will necessarily lead the West to take drastic measures to prevent the rise of totalitarian regimes and Cold War anxieties, allying even with conservative groups and right-wing agents whose politics may go against the cherished ideals of Western democracy.
For socialism to thrive, it must always engage in productive dialogue with the West, keep its elections completely transparent and open to Western observation and influence, and refrain from the political extremism of Stalinism and Maoism against the imagined and manipulative threat of Western imperialist aggression. Though countless socialist states across the Global South have been crushed, we hope that the death of totalitarianism and state socialism in the Soviet Union will usher in a new era of thriving democracy in areas such as Africa, Latin America and the Middle East where the spectre of Stalinism once loomed large :)

Every single non trans woman who proclaims to be an ally absolutely needs to be posting about how goddamn transmisogynist staff is.
Because when trans women dare to speak up for themselves, Tumblr nukes their blogs.
We need to be fucking loud about this, daily, because Tumblr staff is specifically targeting and deleting trans women who are not breaking ToS and who often have fundraisers up FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.
By deleting these blogs repeatedly, Tumblr staff is saying loud and clear what they hope happens to these girls.
Are y'all okay with that? Because if not we need to be posting about it more because we have seen by now it's incredibly fucking unlikely this sites moderation will delete our blogs for it because we are not trans women
Tumblr staff and CEO Matt Mullenweg want trans women in need to not be able to post their fundraisers, meaning they are okay with these women dying.
It's hard to really get across how baffling the gatekeeping model of trans healthcare actually is.
Like. You say "maybe patients shouldn't have to put their hand in the pain box from Dune" and people go "but we should be careful". Okay. The pain box from Dune is unrelated to being careful.
"What about detransitioners?"
"Here's an entire systematic review finding that the pain box from Dune has literally no effect on anything related to detransition."
"Well it's important that we don't make people do things they regret"
?????????????????????
"So the pain box from Dune is expensive, has no demonstrable benefit to patients, many patients say the pain box was bad for them. We can remove the pain box at negative cost and it won't be missed."
"Have you considered that this radical activism is alienating moderate supporters?"
The entire Europe conspired and cooperated to colonize North America.
Say this to Norwegians and Swedes, they'd get mad and act as if they have nothing to do with it
This belief is tied to the misconception that colonization was undertaken by states, and thus that only countries whose states had colonies were involved. The importance of companies and venture capital in colonization is vastly unknown and frequently underestimated. When you look into it, you'll see that even some European countries without colonies had colonial companies. And even when that wasn't the case, the states themselves or large part of their capitalist class could own stakes in foreign colonial companies.
And even more indirectly, they could have stakes in trades that were fed by colonialism, like industry developing thanks to cheaper material from the colonies, which fueled the industrial revolution
I will never be accepted into the greater artist community until I learn to love the acrylic charm. Yes master the American social media artist selling mass produced acrylic charms with their own digital design printed upon it is the most exploited proletariat in the world. No master I will never ever learn about the exploitation of global south workers. Yes master the acrylic charm was spontaneously generated as soon as the Artist paid a completely arbitrary fee. No master the Artist is the only person who matters
A mid-sized western art youtuber can hire a team to design a plushie, have that plushie manufactured in a South Asian country, get it shipped to America, and sell it for 30 dollars. And this is just some arbitrary number with no geopolitical context and if you, the Consumer, think it's too expensive. Then you are Starving The Artist, the poor poor prole who can't afford to eat but can, somehow, afford to use the labor of 400 Bengali women to make a plushie of a frog wearing stockings.
if you cant say 'abolish prisons' with your whole chest i dont trust your idea of feminism. everyone get more prison abolitionist now.
i just really want to hammer home that when peoples basic needs are met all crime drops. you do not need a place to put bad people because bad people do not exist, only people who are not being supported the way they should be. rehabilitation and harm reduction are things you need to internalize if you want to make the world a better place.
examine why you think 'violent criminal' is a type of person.
who benefits from you believing that people like that exist, and in such quantities that theres no choice but to lock them away?
who profits from your fear?
