happy pride! if you see someone who looks like he’s from the group of people most likely to sexually assault you and DIDNT ask for his birth certificate before taking precautions. you owe him 200 dollars
and if you’re tma and aforementioned birth certificate won’t help you much, than too bad. didn’t you know it’s also his birthday
When "Gender Criticals" say, "You can't change your sex," they think they are conveying the meaning that it's technically impossible, but it actually makes more sense to interpret it in the same way as telling someone who comes to your door, "You can't come in".
Like, yes, it is physically possible for you to come into my house, but I don't want you to. It would be unethical for you to do so. It would be a violation of the rules of polite society, rules that we've all grown up internalising to the extent that they seem like axioms of the universe.
It's not so much a statement of fact as it is an expression of displeasure and a request for you to stick to the rules. That's how I hear, "You can't change your sex." It's, "You can, but please don't, my whole worldview relies on you not doing so."
Hey, you, cis girl that's very (correctly) vocal about women being allowed to talk about their periods, do you include trans women in that?
I ask because every single time I've tried to talk about it to anyone that isn't a trans woman they get fucking angry. Which has caused me to have to just suffer in silence every single month. So I really relate to cis women when they talk about literally the exact same thing; being shamed by everyone around them their whole lives for talking about their periods, so they just suffer in silence every month as it negatively impacts their work and social lives. But I don't even feel like I can voice that I am literally dealing with the same exact thing because most of y'all react like you want to throw me in front of a bus for saying it, even those of you who act like your such big great transfem allies.
You will never get me to accept that transfem characters being played by non-transfem people, especially men, is anything other than transmisogynistic and not in any possible way "good representation." It's not representation of us at all! There aren't any transfems there!
I will never shut up about this, and I know history will vindicate me. And I also know that when that day comes all of you that currently tell me I'm wrong will claim that you always agreed with me.
sorry i will never understand cis grief. your daughter is living her best life and going around with friends and feeling like a human being. your son doesn’t feel like he needs to crawl out of his skin anymore and can actually smile. your children are happy and no longer see their existence as the worst thing in the world. why are you grieving this lmao. grow up.
same reason I would grieve if i had kids that turned christian. It might make them happy and gain them friends, but I still know theyre being lied to, taken advantage of, and exploited for a false promise of eternal fulfillment
except that's only half correct. yes, Christianity is utter bullshit that has objectively ruined humanity multiple times, but trans people aren't following some religious bullshit. all we are doing is, through the fruits of human progress, aligning our bodies with what we know we need to be to feel like something that isn't a skinwalker. or, alternatively, altering our worldview so it doesn't feel like something's off. or a combination of both. being trans is about realising the reality of who you are and taking whatever steps you need to be seen as yourself. Christianity is about exploiting the weak minded and pretending a skyman will save us from a non-existent concept like sin.
trans ideology is about exploiting the weak minded and pretending plastic surgery and induced hormone imbalances will save us from a non-existent concept like gender
I know this is uncomfortable for the majority of people to acknowledge, but if those parents care about their kids so much why did they choose to have the kid in the middle of war, poverty, or danger? even if they cross the border to get away from those things before having kids, why do they have the kid before knowing their safety of not having to return to the same war-stricken, impoverished, dangerous place is officially secured?
Forcefem was a huge part of what helped me realize I'm trans and convince me to transition. I would always come across forcefem stuff and think "god, I wish that were me." Then someone told me "cis men don't wish that they were women" and it all clicked.
And I think all these chuds that claim forcefem is "tRaNsAnDrOpHobiC" know that. Especially since the stuff made by trans women makes it extremely explicit that the message is "it's ok to want to be a girl, you don't have to spend the rest of your life in misery pretending to be a man." It's extremely obviously not directed at trans men.
But transmisogynists view any trans woman that actually escapes the eggshell/closet as a tragedy, so they want to stop anything that helps us do so. They'd rather see a million dead closeted trans women than a single one of us happy and thriving as ourselves.
if u call urself a misandrist I'm going to assume ur homophobic. I'm gonna assume that ur at the very least weird about trans women like me, that you're going to judge them based on how they pass, on how out they are, on what level of transition they are at. I'm gonna assume ur racist too. like. idk "misandry" very feels like the sorta "feminism" someone is really into when they're in high school and carefully making sure to never think about anything.
"conservatives want us ALL dead" yes, and the wolf will kill both a fox and a hare given the chance, but i wouldn't blame the hare for being wary of the fox as well
Just because someone is rich doesn't make everything their fault. I know this is a very hard concept for you people to understand, but for your own sake, try exercising your brain.
Musk is actually the reason a lot of people can afford groceries, because he invested in several companies that have been wildly successful and in turn provide thousands and thousands of jobs.
Not saying he wouldn't do well to pay his people more, but it's not like he's hoarding food or creating artificial scarcity to line his own pockets either.
That would be the governments who are members of OPEC doing that as one easy example.
Hate the guy all you like, maybe just try to have a logical reason for it if you can.
he is literally hoarding money: the power to buy resources. There is only so much money. Every $10,000 elon has is a $10,000 someone else cannot have. Having more money than he can spend is directly leading to someone else having less money than they need.
the power to buy resources is represented with money. What else would it be??
the only way to gain money is to convince someone else to give it to you. Or just take it. You cant just materialize money. There’s a finite supply of money. On purpose.
If elon (or you or me) makes a few bucks, yes it came directly out of someone’s wallet or bank account. When you go to the store you can observe this reality. The store cannot make money without you giving it to them. The workers cannot make money without the store giving it to them.
The exploitation of girls and women in the palm oil industry in Indonesia and Malaysia
cw: rape/CSA
These are the invisible women of the palm oil industry, among the millions of daughters, mothers and grandmothers who toil on vast plantations across Indonesia and neighboring Malaysia, which together produce 85 percent of the world’s most versatile vegetable oil.
Palm oil is found in everything from potato chips and pills to pet food, and also ends up in the supply chains of some of the biggest names in the $530 billion beauty business, including L’Oréal, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Avon and Johnson & Johnson, helping women around the world feel pampered and beautiful.
The Associated Press conducted the first comprehensive investigation focusing on the brutal treatment of women in the production of palm oil, including the hidden scourge of sexual abuse, ranging from verbal harassment and threats to rape. It’s part of a larger in-depth look at the industry that exposed widespread abuses in the two countries, including human trafficking, child labor and outright slavery.
Women are burdened with some of the industry’s most difficult and dangerous jobs, spending hours waist-deep in water tainted by chemical runoff and carrying loads so heavy that, over time, their wombs can collapse and protrude. Many are hired by subcontractors on a day-to-day basis without benefits, performing the same jobs for the same companies for years – even decades. They often work without pay to help their husbands meet otherwise impossible daily quotas.

People making bunny accounts obviously aping the account they are harassing is the new “people making I-suggest accounts obviously aping isff while harassing her.” It’s the same playbook
4 transfem outed as (bigot, sexual predator, harasser, etc)
5 meme continues
6 transfem gets termed
7 everyone mourns the transfem that got termed without any mention of what got them termed, attributes the meme wholly to the transfem, and damns anyone who continues on with the meme without praising the transfem
