This is what I meant by how a lot of white supremacy is projection.

"I feel like my penis/my Manhood as a symbol is smaller than Black man's" becomes "Black men have oversized penises and are sexually insatiable beasts."

"I am sexually attracted to, fetishizing, and feel entitled to Black women's bodies" becomes "well she's asking for it, look at how she looks, Black women are always more openly sexual."

"I am afraid of approaching Black men" becomes "Black men are a threat."

"I am afraid of approaching Black women" becomes "Black women are always angry."

"I am not smart enough/not qualifed enough/can't beat my white counterparts professionally" becomes "DEI and affirmative action are letting those Blacks steal my position in school/jobs!"

Your own fears and insecurities about yourself somehow become a reflection of my humanity, when it had nothing to do with anything. And somehow enough people think that and now it's systemic instead of the made up nonsense it always was. Ijeoma Oluo called it mediocrity, James Baldwin called racism the white man's problem, and they remain correct.

“I am afraid of

approaching Black men” becomes

“Black men are a threat.”

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

This video speaks well to your point with a focus on how the projection and underlying racial biases impacts young black girls. 22:16 in particular cites a piece that notes how black girls have adultification and sexualiztion dumped onto them a lot sooner.

If young black girls are a reminder that black women aren't angry or asking for it, but that truth can't be faced without having to take accountability, then the solution is to dump the projection of anger and sexualiztion onto them as girls too. It's combined with the underlying idea that black girls are less worthy of protection either by perceiving them as hyperindependent (adultification) or lacking innocence (sexualiztion).

Anti-Trans Legislation Isn't About "Protecting Girls"—It's About Distracting Us From What Matters

"If we really cared about safety and fairness in sports, we’d be breaking down barriers facing girls at every level," writes Megan Rapinoe.

First official on ice with full gear hockey practice complete!!! 🥳

I had so much fun and I’m so tired but I learnt so much! Without giving a play by play of the whole hour quickish notes are that

1. I got changed in the refs room so I feel like I’ve had the proper female hockey experience 😭

2. Because they did a backwards skating drill almost immediately one of the coaches took me aside and taught me how which as very lovely of him and I was actually getting quite good at it by the end (giving brownie points to myself for choosing the backwards skating drill first when we had an option of 3 cos I was like that’s just the best way to learn)

3. Most of these people were definitely not beginners (important as it’s was advertised as a beginners practice) but that was okay actually because it meant I got to watch how it’s all supposed to be done

4. Puck handling on real ice takes so much less force than on my fake ice which is good because I was worried about my ability to skate and handle the puck at the same time (which tbh was a valid worry because omg is that multi tasking is hard especially going backwards)

5. The lovely coach gave me so many tips over the hour that I really really appreciated and when we did the scrimmage he checked in to ask if I was having fun (I was!)

6. I fell! Not in the drills (so I obviously need to try harder next week) but in the scrimmage I fell like 5 times which I’m happy about cos I said to myself before that if I don’t fall that’s bad, and I was looking forward to falling actually so it was fun.

7. Despite the falling I managed to intercept, win and successfully pass some pucks in the scrimmage which was sick and I had an odd-woman rush! I did not score and fell after shooting but I’m still super proud of that

So yeah it was super fun, very much looking forward to next week!

Drinking soda is better than drinking nothing all day. Eating ice cream for dinner is better than eating nothing for dinner. Eating salsa is better than having no produce in your diet at all.

Water is way more hydrating than soda, but soda is more hydrating than nothing. A balanced meal is way more nutritious than ice cream, but ice cream is more nutritious than nothing.

Something is better than nothing. Some hydration is better than no hydration. Some nutrients are better than no nutrients. Some produce is better than no produce.

Don't let societally imposed food guilt trick you into believing that nothing is a better choice. Nourishing your body, however you can, is always the better choice. Fed is best. Always.

Listen I get it but you CANNOT use "sensory nightmare" as an excuse to avoid essential things. You HAVE to find a way to make it work, such as finding effective alternatives. But you can't just avoid it.

You need to eat some vegetables in your diet or you will become a lich.

You have to wear a life jacket or you will literally drown and die.

You need to be able to exist in public spaces with children.

You have to find a way.

Turkey to imprison LGBT advocates, criminalize same-sex ceremonies in new bill: report - Stockholm Center for Freedom

Turkey’s justice ministry is drafting legislation that would imprison people for publicly praising LGBT identity, criminalize same-sex engag

[bisexualantagonist]

EXTRA INFO:

The Bill hasn't passed yet; however it is very likely. Turkey just shut down the social media accounts of LGBT+ organizations, and quietly banned/"made not possible to see" multiple dating apps for LGBT people such as Taimi. These are small steps leading up to this. Just less than a year ago the distribution of Estrogen was made ten times harder and hormone replacement therapy laws upped the transitioning age from 18 to 21. Please speak for us.

Okay so me playing hockey update I’ve been to two public skates with my new skates and they are sick! Worked on stopping with my outside edges in the first session and then my inside edges (and left crossovers) on the second session and I also made a friend in the second session which was lovely!

Definitely been a learning curve in terms of remembering to give myself time and grace because I have this thing where I just expect myself to learn things super quickly and be perfect straight away but that’s not how life works lol.

Anyway going to my first hockey beginners session today and I’m pissing myself. This is exactly where being autistic is not fun because I don’t know exactly what’s going to happen and that’s terrifying but needs must I’m sure it’ll be fine… probably 🫠

Anyway wish me luck!!

having sex with your friends is so very normal please stop poisoning the youths minds with shame surrounding hooking up with your friends. especially if you’re gay

[crippled-peeper]

people are so fucking mad in the notes that adults have sex with each other and aren’t married sometimes. yall are carbon copies of your conservative parents and you’re so proud of it. ewwww

[crippled-peeper]

calling the sex I have with my friends “hookup culture” is insulting and incorrect. these are guys who take care of me and take me on dates and watch fun movies with me. being a disabled faggot too, they help me clean my place and take my trash out for me. they care for me and are on my emergency contact lists. trying to slap the label of “todays hookup culture!!!” on it is diminishing and devaluing those relationships

secondly, gay and bi men have been fucking all their friends and cruising and hooking up with total strangers since LLOOONGGGG before you were born and will continue doing so LLOOONGGG after you die. it’s never been a trend or a fad for us. It’s just a way of life for some of us and you aren’t going to change that by being disgusted by it
