This blog is made for biwoc (especially bi black women) and it’s a place were I can be myself. Also this is a sideblog to explore my own bi identity. [African American] [Bi Femme] [College Student] [21] [#ACAB] [Blacklivesmatter] [#Bipride] [No terfs or swerfs or lesbophobes are allowed on this blog] [This blog is for biwoc and this includes trans bi woc also this blog is definitely open for my non-binary buds out there] [This blog will be nsfw so if u r are uncomfortable with that know that it will be appropriately tagged!]
some people in fandoms really are like – “i think we need to focus more on men and women BEING FRIENDS.” and exclusively apply that to interracial couples.
Sure one killer cop is being punished but another just killed a young Black girl a couple of hours ago. I don't want reform, I don't want compromise. I want the whole thing burned down, top to bottom.
the narrative that we are infertile, incapable, and unwilling to have children is a lie
trans people often face discrimination in adoption opportunities, and we need to normalize the idea that people like us do have our own children
transfem people/trans women/other non-gestational parents can induce lactation and feed their children
transmasc and other gestational parents can find trans affirming healthcare, even in obstetrics. there’s a growing number of lgbt doulas and midwives trained to help affirm the gestational parent’s wishes
intersex trans people can also have children - and we often face a doubled-down narrative that we are infertile and shouldn’t attempt to have children
polyam trans couples also have a broader range of gestational and postpartum opportunities for raising children, or even multiple monogamous trans couples co-parenting/co-gestating with shared resources
if you are a trans person who wants to have bio children, there are spaces out there for you, there’s a community of trans parents and trans people who are trying to conceive
interrupting the bday celebrations to say st. vincent's volcano la soufriere on their largest island chain just erupted and the smoke rose to 10km in the air, and ash is falling heavily.
st. vincent is a very small island in the caribbean - much smaller than that of my own country and my country is like a dot on the world map - of only 100k+ citizens and at least 7,000 people were told to evacuate. this is the first eruption since 1979. st. vincent is a predominantly black country, and as of now i haven't seen any petitions as yet from the people. all i can do is hope that we can boost this and send them our love and support.
(bonus video showing how high the smoke is in the air)
Reagan-era "stranger danger" panic has done so much harm to americans' sense of community. It cemented the idea that only the nuclear family could be trusted with the care of the child, deterred people from cooperative living with an extended community, and continues to place abuse victims in danger by perpetuating the misconception that most child abuse is done by strangers rather than someone they know. It is in our best interest to become more interdependent than we were raised to be.
Me: *Removes my cat from my lap to do something else.*
My cat: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.
