Radical feminism being the domain of transphobes today is like if your very best friend got turned into a zombie.
Radical feminism used to be a rich and important field of feminist inquiry. It said: What if it isn't enough to just make women equal to men? What if our goal isn't just female CEOs and female soldiers and female oil magnates, but to question the need for any of these? What if true equality means fundamentally restructuring society?
Many of feminism's best thinkers and leading lights were radical feminists, back in the day. Radical feminists are why abortion is legal, why women can have bank accounts and credit cards, why marital rape is a crime.
Yes, it had shortcomings. There are so many more sources of oppression in the world than sex and gender; women of colour, disabled women, and poor women all struggled to get seats at the table. "The personal is political," taken to an absurd degree, convinced many women they couldn't be feminists, that other feminists wouldn't welcome them, because they chose to wear makeup, put on high heels, marry men, or raise children.
Back then, the idea that men and women weren't equal—that women were so different from men, we were fundamentally better and more pure—was derided as "cultural feminism", seen as an overbalance some people got to when they started going, "Hey, maybe the things our society derides as feminine are good, actually."
But still. Radical feminism deserved to be counted as a worthy ancestor of the feminism that is practiced and talked about today, even as we've moved past it into the world of inclusive intersectional feminism.
So seeing it linked inextricably with cultural feminism and used to attack trans people, to deny them rights of social equality and bodily autonomy, and to police insufficiently feminine cis women, is, well...
It's as though your beloved friend, who fought for you through all the years and held you when you cried, that imagined a better tomorrow, had suddenly turned into a rabid monster and tried to kill people.
"Here comes Jane Doe!" people cry in terror. "It's radical feminism! She wants to eat your brains!"
Not Jane Doe, you'd think, even as you ran. Not Jane, my friend, my friend, my friend.
Pretty sure I owe you a nice hot coffee and a reconstitution into solid form.
Sending this instead
the day i finally make it to aus you're buying the first round as recompense for all the goddamn damages you've caused to me and my constitution. and then i will promptly buy the second as recompense for your own BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT
dearest bec, my love, oh heart of mine heart,
if you're not careful, one day i will turn into a gooey mess from all your delightful fluff and shenanigans and i will simply be unable to reconstitute myself and thus be forced to remain as a gelatinous lump forever.
do you want me to look a blobfish?
because that's what's going to happen.
and yet, i am still here.
Quick Jerevin HCs before bed <3 (and it’s Hybrid AU as bonus 😘)
Gavin’s a bird hybrid with beautiful golden wings that didn’t grow in properly until he got older (kinda like the ugly duckling right? His wings start off sorta brown and small and he doesn’t like them, but when he gets older they become the most beautiful pair of wings most people have ever seen!)
Jeremy’s a dragon hybrid with purple and orange scales that cover his shoulders and collarbones. He has wings and a tail (and scales around the base of his spine where his tail is but not as many as his shoulders)
They love to fly together, love trying to outdo each other in the air by flying through small gaps/seeing who can freefall for the longest before pulling up. Sometimes one of them gets hurt, but they always patch each other up!
Gavin likes hiding away up on tall buildings. Back in England it was how he got away from everyone since his parents weren’t hybrids and he didn’t really know anyone else with wings where he lived
Jeremy joins him sometimes. Sometimes he just needs an escape too, but mostly he just likes to be near Gav, feels the need to comfort him.
Gavin uses Jeremy like his own personal heater at literally every chance he gets. Jeremy (being part dragon) is naturally really hot, even if he himself can’t feel it, and they often end up cuddling no matter where/how they’re sitting.
Jeremy likes to gripe about how annoying it is having such a clingy boyfriend, but really he loves the attention, loves having Gav all over him and loves holding him in his arms. He’s just as much of a clingy person as Gav is, he just doesn’t want to admit it!
Once a year, Jeremy starts shedding his scales and they. Go. Everywhere. Gavin constantly complains about finding scales in the bathtub, in his shoes, on the pillows, IN HIS UNDERWEAR, JEREMY!! God, he almost kills him. Luckily for Jeremy he can’t bring himself to do it when he gives him those damn puppy dog eyes (the apology kiss afterwards also helps)
When they kiss, sometimes Jeremy’s mouth feels so hot it’s like it’s literally on fire, but Gavin doesn’t really mind much, he’s too distracted by how good it feels. And whenever he really gets into a kiss, he starts cooing softly. Jeremy finds it adorable as FUCK, even though Gavin’s a bit embarrassed by it.
