[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

hey so did any other transfems get in trouble for crying as a kid? for example id get yelled at or in trouble for something and it would make me cry and then id get yelled at for crying about it, often with a "toughen up" or smth similar

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

oh yea the "stop that or ill really give you something to cry about" yea mhm yep ok fuck

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

lots of people saying shit like "this isnt a transfem thing it's a child abuse thing" and like, fucking obviously

maybe consider that i never implied it was a transfem exclusive experience and take a couple seconds to think about why it might be especially traumatising for us to be told to "man up" and not express emotions as children and that i was seeking to not feel alone and to commiserate within a community that i know will actually give a shit

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

if you're gonna reblog this please make it this version, if i have to see one more condescending comment about how all children go through this im gonna be on the news

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

[asneakyfox]

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

Wild caught clownfish will be like ‘hm you see, the anemone you got me is a slightly different color and tentacle width than the one I had back home, so I will not begin hosting it. I’ll be a sort of wandering ronin for the rest of my days.’ And then a captive bred clownfish will be like ‘ok so I have this curved rock I found and I just sit above it and it take care of me 👍’

for any new followers here: i am the Biggest hater of people pronouncing

this animal. as "Axe-oh-lottle"

the term 'axolotl' comes from Nahuatl, the language of the Nahua people (or the aztecs, for the uninitiated). it is derived from atl (water) and xolotl (one of the gods in the pantheon). in nahua, x's make a 'sh' sound, not a 'ks' sound. and when you have a 'tl' at the end of the word, it is best to just omit the l (since, in english it does not flow very naturally to make the Proper sound)

with this knowledge, we realize that the word 'axolotl' is actually pronounced "ash-o-lot" and Not "axe-oh-lottle"

anyway. thats my tedtalk

sincerely,

a native american who cares about language preservation

[itspronouncedfeckyou]

as an additional note, 'hua' like seen in "nahuatl" makes a 'wa' sound

so 'nahuatl' is pronounced 'na-wat' not 'na-how-tle'

normal girl. girl who's really normal. girl who can read facial expressions and tell what people are thinking like other normal girls. girl who feels normal about other people and doesn't have a strange little cyst of hatred for the world where her heart should be. deeply normal girl. they're calling her the normallest maybe ever

Baby Killer refers to US Soldiers and not to women who get abortions, if I ever insult baby killers, know that I am insulting the troops

[queer-as-city-folk]

It's literally stolen valor

[queer-as-city-folk]

That woman didn't spend months in Vietnam shooting babies with her rifle, the troops did that

I feel like if you have to go through someone's whole entire social media life just to find some things to accuse them of they're not a bad person.. but you are

the late senator graham and i disagreed on pretty much everything, but credit where it’s due. this quote of his is an all-timer:

it’s arguably the most honest thing that anyone has said in politics.

Why are there just blobs of fake rubber meat that a bunch of unrelated microbes can build in the dirt but they've only ever been found in china and can't be classified any further than "biological objects"

Am walking through Manhattan, there's a woman who can't be more than 25 in a big fur coat, walking with a cane, angrily saying into her headpiece "I want them them destroyed," I feel like an extra in a movie
