white kids get to have quirky racist phases black kids dont get to be kids

[spiralmindz]

black kids get their lives stolen from them if they defend themselves from white kids "going through a phase"

non-passing trans men still have privilege over trans women

[tboy-trash]

i appreciate people jumping in on the post earlier saying they've been pretty much universally read as a man for years because young trans boys need to hear that. but also. it doesn't matter if you can't even transition you still have privileges over a woman from your same demographic that's just how that works.

[tboy-trash]

everyone can misgender you daily and you can have "F" on every single legal document and yet who's the demographic most likely to be forced into sex work, murdered, and regularly sent to the more dangerous prison. trans men have privilege over trans women and there's no caveat.

Dear Relative,

Your voice and help are needed to protect our sacred site. Pipestone National Monument is a special place where many Tribes harvest red pipestone, which is used for ceremony and prayer. This sacred site has a deep cultural significance to the Oceti Sakowin and many other Tribal Nations since time immemorial. Sovereign nations have the inherent right to make decisions about their ancestral homelands, which includes C’an O’he, now known as Pipestone National Monument.

Today, the Magellan Corporation/One OK’s proposed Reroute Pipeline Project is threatening Pipestone.

The Yankton Sioux Tribe and many other tribes have been fighting this project since 2023. Previously, the Yankton Sioux Tribe objected to the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission’s (PUC’s) comparative environmental analysis and appealed the initial decision for a reroute of the Magellan Corporation’s proposed pipeline, which would run through Pipestone.

We need your help to protect this sacred site from destruction. Submit public comment today!

The public comment period is open to submit a comment in protection of Pipestone National Monument and to oppose the Magellan Pipeline. Initial comments are due June 22 at 4:30 PM CDT. Visit this website to learn a few tips on submitting a successful comment.

You may also submit your public comment via email: [email protected] using “Subject: Docket No. 23-109.”

Suggested comment (please add your own personalized edits):

“I oppose the Magellan Pipeline reroute permit. I support the No Build alternative. We need to protect the Pipestone National Monument and the sacred quarries. The current cultural survey is incomplete and unacceptable. Deny this permit.”

Facts to include:

The Topeka Shiner (an endangered protected species) lives in Pipestone 

The community has concerns about the contamination of water and land with the construction and possible rupture of a pipeline.

The cultural significance and vitality of ways of life are at stake with this project.

A large part of the reason families were bigger in the past was because marital rape was not considered rape and birth control/abortion methods were ineffective, dangerous and/or illegal. We can dance around this and act like our great great great grandmothers just loveddddd being mamas so much that they decided out of their own free will to have 11 children. We can pretend that they DECIDED to have big families because it was a financially advantageous decision so they could have more labor around the farm. But a lot of children in the past were fundamentally unwanted and not conceived out of love, children were not a choice women got to make. We need to admit that and stop pretending historical women were inherently more maternal because they were impregnated at the age of 15 and kept having babies until they were 40. That did not make them loving mothers, it did not make them ‘the divine feminine’ and it sure did not make them happy.

i don’t feel like debating that topic much farther bc truthfully if it comes down to “women will lose to men in every sport bc they don’t have as much testosterone!!!!!” my elite feminist response is honest to god “ok we will lose with honor as equals instead of having our own special Easy Mode Female category so we can win amongst ourselves” like i’m sorry i just can’t be persuaded. i’m a brick wall. i want co-ed sports

[thesituation]

i bring a sort of “women can lose at some sports against men if it means being regarded as equals” vibe to the debate that “testosterone objectively increases performance” people don’t really like

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another

[pawberri]

Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots

[pawberri]

"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men 🥺" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u 🥺" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you

Marsha P. Johnson will be remembered for the trailblazing work to provide equity and equality for the LGBTQ community from the Stonewall Riots to small gestures of kindness to “baby gays” on the street. We celebrate the trailblazer Marsha P. Johnson and will never forget the P stands for “Pay It No Mind”.

no worse feeling that going on some subculture fashion clothing website and seeing the size chart runs from extra small to petite to pequeño to microscopique. yeah here at DeathKillFuckShadow Fantastique Cloth Imaginations i think you’ll find that we see the world a bit difference… we have bleak brutal imaginations… what if blood and fangs were COOL… but we cannot in our most tortured imaginations picture a woman who has a stouter frame than the fucking Insulindian Phasmid
