Now that sounds like a great day full of adventure.

I hope that lady felt satisfied. 😂👏

Ok so today I was on the bus with another trans guy and we were talking about how hard it is to get testosterone. The waiting lists, the price, all the doctors you have to go to, that kind of stuff. Except, we were calling it ’T’, like you do when you’re both closeted and in public.

Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’

To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’

The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’

We let her take us to the supermarket. We let her show us, excitedly, where the tea was. We both bought loads.

I wouldn’t even consider Station 19’s Marina positive WLW rep in all honesty but it was still rep.

No, we can’t even have that. I’m sick and tired.

It's always interesting when people say fandom was overshadowed by the wlw rep. Like how often do we get positive sapphic rep? How often do we get positive and secure sapphic rep? Ofc we're going to talk about it. Yall don't complain when fandom only focuses on mlm or one male character but suddenly when we are supporting and outspoken about the wlw rep yall always want to talk big.

Yeah, it’s really not good the way they’re partially pro-Bangel in the narrative and partially not given the things you see him say and do to a 16 year old child.

Just watched the episode Angel last night and I'm so insane and not normal about it. Its so bad. Its so good. Its everything to me. Buffy asks Angel if he's been following her and why he would keep an eye on her. He says "Maybe I like you." She smiles and says "Maybe?" And girl I cant even blame her. If a person I was vaguely attracted to came into my home when I was 16 and told me they were watching me bc they like me i would have immediately been dtf. But can you tell me why at at 240!!!! Angel is saying insane shit like this?????? Image being an adult and some GUY is like "I was watching u bc i like you teehee" restraining order. IMMEDIATELY!!!

Angel also has so many goofy ass lines in this script I genuinely feel a little bad for David bc we all know hes a bad actor especially at the beginning but him saving Buffy from The Three with the line "Good dogs dont bite" ?????? what r u talking about bestie. what is that. I will however fault him for the fact that he will just smirk at the most inappropriate times. what the fuck is that. "No buffy I didnt read ur diary 😏 ok why tf would u say it like that?? or when he grins after saying the slur for romani?? like hello??

Also just the way that they intro his history is SO funny. Buffy shows up to kill him and he's like "why wouldn't I kill your mother I'm just a creature, right?" my brother in christ you are literally. the only single vampire in the entire goddamn world that has a soul. why would she. the vampire SLAYER. have any reason to believe that ur just a normal dude??? And the way he talks about the curse like so nonchalant with his little smirks.... personally I would have simply killed him based on the attitude. the vibes alone.

Then we have the absolute genius of this ep!! Darla with the guns?? *chefs kiss* are you kidding me thats SO funny. So effective. She clocked Buffy as being a bad ass slayer and despite 400 years of wrecking havoc consequence free she said hmm ok I cant take her but two (2) guns probably could. Thats why shes been alive so goddamn long. I love her.

And Willow's bravery?? Literally the shyest girl in school seeing Darla with the GUNS and still shouting to Buffy, to protect her from not only physical but emotional harm?? Obsessed!!

And finally, the last scene with the Bangel kiss. Listen. I am not a Bangel lover and we know this!!! But the way my man pressed into Buffy the whole time despite the cross burning into his chest??? I have been obsessed with that scene since day one. Whoever wrote that ate and left no crumbs I fear. Delicious.

I hate the term “pro-choice” just as much as I hate the term “pro-life”. Pro-abortion and anti-abortion is what it is so why on Earth don’t they just call it that?

When you’re pro-choice, you’re pro-abortion.

When you’re pro-life, you’re anti-abortion.

The reasons as to why or how are irrelevant.

It doesn’t matter whether you want to be or not.

You are pro if you’re for abortion or anti if you’re against it. Call it what it is, cowards. And stop using words that make it seem like it’s not about abortion.

No woman would ever choose to end her own baby’s life. They have to do it for the sake of their own life.

And the reason why they do it before the baby comes to term is because it’s not a “baby” yet. Not until that fetus takes its first free breath of life is it actually another human life separated from the mother’s life.

If you don’t get that fetus aborted when that mother’s body is unviable to carry it to term, it will eventually die. There is no point letting a fetus be born if it has no quality of life. But the mother still has quality of life…

Only ONLY if they can abort that fetus from their body.

I’m not pro-life by saying any of this and I am not pro-choice either. I am pro-abortion. End of fucking story because they should never consider a pregnant woman’s vaginal tissue more important than their life!

I understand the whole maternal instincts thing. I get it. I 100% get that connection a mother can have with their fetus. But the “mother” and the “child” are the same damn thing while they are physically connected.

You make one incompatible -

they’re BOTH already dead.

Because there is no “both” about them. There is no dual existence. It’s the existence of ONE person.

And that person is the mother. Always!

You don’t consider a baby its own conscious life until it is born. Until it’s able to breathe alone. You just don’t. Regardless of whatever maternal instincts there are. That connection is between YOU and YOU.

Birth is a strange and profound thing. An Event.

What anti-abortion people don’t understand about birth is that birth IS conscious life. That when that event occurs, the existence of one life is now two lives.

But it should never be considered that until that event.

I don’t care if it’s 9 months before that event or 1 second before that event. The “baby” is the mother until it’s able to take its first free breath of life and the umbilical cord is cut. I am more pro-abortion than most people because I think it’s illogical to treat a pregnancy as a second conscious life separated until the event of actual birth happens. Until two happens

That probably makes me seem a very cruel person.

I don’t care. That’s the way I view it, how I believe of it.

I guess… god forbid I ever end up pregnant because unless those “material instincts” take over my sanity, I probably will never even think that way about my own body either and that part of me that is still just me.

Probably, most likely, because I don’t consider the body to be the person at all. It’s the very same argument religionists have really. The soul is the person. Except - that makes me pro-abortion instead.

I could and I will make this argument against any REPUBLICAN or CONSERVATIVE anti-abortion arguments that use “the soul or spirit is the actual conscious person and not the body” excuse.

Why are they so against transgender and GNC individuals if that’s the case then? People that very much believe that their body and appearance of it does not define who they actually are as person. People that experience gender dysphoria and are so unhappy with what they’ve been assigned as at birth.

Birth is never treated or considered as LIFE itself.

But IT IS. In every way you could possibly think of it.

The moment “you” take your own free breath of life independent from any other life - “you” exist as life.

And YOUR choices immediately matter from then on.

Assignation should never be a thing once LIFE occurs. The fact it is - means that the event of life itself is not thought of and honoured as conscious existence itself.

And I personally believe that is absolutely WRONG!

Conscious choices are made for a child by their guardian because they do not have the mental capacity to make those conscious choices for themselves. That’s always the argument for this.

But what about their thoughts and feelings about their own body? I can guarantee you those are fully formed.

But they would have had no distinction of anything before they were born because they were not a “they”.

The moment we understand birth and life as one and the same is the moment we will be a smarter species than we currently are as a collective consciousness.

That still have completely ludicrous arguments over whether pregnant women’s lives are more important than their vaginas or any part of their physical body.

OF COURSE THEY FUCKING ARE!

This whole overturning of Roe v Wade thing is nuts to me. I think it’s the most insane law made to pass ever because the physical body does not define A LIFE!

What it does prove however is that those anti-abortionists or Republicans that claim themselves as “religious” don’t actually believe deep down that the soul or spirit is what defines conscious existence because if they did, they would have nothing against a woman having full control over their own body when it comes to the event of pregnancy because their body is of no importance over their actual life. Their soul.

And while I don’t necessarily think of the soul or spirit the same way Western religious people do, I do think that it very much plays a part in my pro-abortion take because I absolutely do not consider a life a conscious separate life - an actual person - until it is born. Ever.

In fact - I do not believe of it as “life” point blank.

I believe A life exists. That life is already living.

Until you force it into a state that it cannot live.

“Pro-choice” is not what this is. It’s PRO-LIFE.

See how twisted and backwards this all is now? Because if I said I AM pro-life instead of pro-abortion, people on Tumblr would at best, be completely confused by me, and at worst would immediately insult me because they would misunderstand me.

But I digress…

anyone that is truly pro-abortion is truly pro-life.

anyone that is truly anti-abortion is truly pro-choice.

And that choice is never THEIRS to fucking make!

There are no choices in life and death: There is just life and there is death. There is only ever a choice made when it is a prevention of either event from happening.

When there is a prevention of nature taking its course.

If the body is unviable to carry a baby to term, terminating that “baby” is the right thing to do.

It’s the only thing you can do if you want the only life that can actually live to carry on living. And not kill it.

“Pro-choice” people that make this argument against “pro-life” people are who are actually pro-life.

And this is why I hate that they call it “pro-life” vs “pro-choice” and not pro-abortion vs anti-abortion.

Religious people can shut up because God commits the same crime every time ‘He’ decides to kill a fetus. If the event of MISCARRIAGE is considered murder by you, then God is a serial killer. Can’t arrest him though.

It’s all fucking stupid and I’m too intelligent to care.

Throughout all this asinine political arguing, I just feel sorry for those poor suffering women. I really do.

And I’m just glad the UK government has compassion.

The dude just has Mommy issues.

spike has always needed someone to dote on.. he's just the caretaker type. which is why it's so funny -- and very heartwarming and gratifying -- that buffy is always taking care of him. soothing his wounds, carefully caressing him around cuts and bruises, making sure he's okay... doting on him!! where he reciprocates the emotional strength and support she has long given to everyone else in her life and never received back, buffy cares for spike in a way he has only ever experienced on the giving side. they fill all of those gaps in each other's lives, and needs. i could SCREAAAMMMM!! !!!

Faith. Her name alone invokes awe. ‘Faith.’ A set of principles or beliefs upon which you’re willing to devote your life. The Dark Slayer. A lethal combination of beauty, power, and death.
