Once at a lovely b&b in the archipelago this kid started talking to me and my gf and was like "are you two best friends??". We explained that we were together and in love and she was like uh huh and then she spotted my gfs double venus tattoo and asked: "Is that a tattoo of you two?" ☺️ I thought it was so cute I just told her yes before my gf had time to answer 😭 This drawing must be how she interpreted it

If hormones and transition are so magical and miraculous why isn’t he on the men’s team? And how come trans men don’t need gender validation when playing sport but transwomen will die if they aren’t validated?

If it’s possible for a trans man to play according to his sex, why do yall act like it’s genocide to suggest transwomen do the same thing?

And why are women’s spaces a dumping ground for all things “trans”, while men and men’s spaces are unbothered and untouched as fuck?

Like I don’t care how much of a trans ally you are, you don’t find this shit inconsistent and stupid?

to be fair many people on sportsblr are very upset about this and consider this person to be a traitor of some sort

Why are makeup wearers so insecure about their choices girl you have history and modern society and universal cultural acceptance and multiple billion dollar industries and widespread unavoidable propaganda on your side

The idea that sexual orientation should be decided based on what “feels right” is a… problematic one.

“The word bisexual makes me cringe at times, but saying I’m heterosexual or a lesbian feels inaccurate - regardless of who I am in a relationship with. So, cringing all the while, I use the label. Because of my relationship to the term feminist, I have learned that cringing is often a sign of unfinished political business: the label bi sounds bad because, at least in some ways, bisexuals are an unliberated, invisible, and disparaged social group.” — Look both ways : bisexual politics, Jennifer Baumgardner, 2007

By encouraging this idea that a word can “just not sound right” or “makes me cringe”, we encourage internalised biphobia, internalised homophobia, and other internalised prejudices. 

Making new identity labels can be an elaborate system of avoiding using words based on internalised prejudices. Are people basing their sense of self on what makes them unique rather than what unifies them with a marginalised group they hold prejudices towards? Those prejudices are going unexamined. 

I’ve found that people who avoid the word bisexual generally know nothing about it. They’ve never read a book on bisexuality, they don’t know anything about the history, about bisexual political activists, about existing organisations or conferences, about whether in reality bisexuals date nonbinary people or not (we do). People don’t reject the word based on educated opinion, although there are people online who do their best to create false definitions to discourage people from using it, which I suppose is in their best interest if they want to avoid analysing their own prejudices. 

Back in the day, many thousands of years ago, when I was young, we had to work through our prejudices to be comfortable with who we were. I hated the word bisexual. I didn’t want to call myself that, I didn’t like how it sounded coming out of my mouth. But in the end I realised that was purely because my culture saw bisexuals as a joke, as cheaters, as nonexistent. I worked through that. But if I was coming out now, someone online would tell me that work was unnecessary and I should just pick a word which sounds nice to me.

I go to a women’s college. We have a walkway where bricks can be purchased by alumnae. Most just say names or class years/mascots. But this one. This one is special. It speaks to me.

“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”

"We shouldn't have sex segregated sports because I kicked this man's ass at this sport!"

1. Anecdotal evidence, we don't accept it for other shit, why would I accept it here

2. Genuinely good for you, keep kicking men's asses, we love to see it

3. Women who can't do that should still get to play sports

4. Men make women feel objectified, there's literally research that shows women perform worse when they feel objectified

5. Men will harass the shit out of women they deem to be in "men's" spaces. Guess what the vast majority of men think is men's space? That's right, sports

6. Men have been trying to bully women out of public spaces for millennia, can we have one fucking thing that is ours for the love of fuck

not enough euphemisms for clitoris in this fucked up world

[recreationaldivorce]

we should bring back she/her as the generic pronoun

[recreationaldivorce]

im not joking btw im talking about how it used to be pretty common for communist writers to use she/her to refer to a generic worker/person/etc as a #feminist thing. it's more common to use gender-neutral language now but the problem is people are still constantly assuming that the default person is male, even when non-gendered language is used. she/her at least has the effect on the reader of like, giving them a stern look and saying "remember women exist". anyway i want us to bring this back

and before anyone gets silly, no it's not misgendering people who don't use she/her, unless you believe all the cis male writers who did/do this also believe that Everyone On Earth Is A Woman. it's a political writing choice

[overtlydinosaurian]

I played so many board games or card games growing up, and the rules would describe "a player" and their options. often it was "he/him or sometimes they/them. But I remember the games that referred to this player as she/her, and it would make my night as a little kid. It meant so much to me to see a female default AND a female default in a hobby that was so old-man coded.

This really does help women remember they can be a default too.

[knightofverity]

I listen to a lot of writing advice channels, most of them run by women, and it pains me to see how many default to male pronouns when talking about hypothetical characters, or even hypothetical authors (ex. "the writer must ask himself if he...")

Unless of course the genre is romance, then protagonists are defaulted to she/her - because romance is a "woman's genre", thus your protagonist must be a woman too. But wait, here comes the heteronormativity! And we're back to defaulting the love interest character as male.
