this website is cuckoo bananas. for years i’ve been watching trans girls post “hey, have you considered that even though trans guys are obviously treated worse than cis guys, the limited male privilege that they do have access to means that they are taken more seriously, treated less dangerously & just respected more than trans women in most if not all circumstances” and everybody’s been going nuts like, calling us separatists, calling us “divisive” for even pointing out men in the trans community can be misogynistic etc.
and then today, i saw a pretty mild post from a trans guy saying “passing as a man is so weird. other men are treating me with more respect than they treat my girl friends in public now. i used to have to argue & cite 100 sources for anybody to listen to me, and now all i have a beard all i have do is say ‘hey maybe women should be treated better’ and everybody listens to me immediately”
….and then i go into the notes and there’s a bunch of transandrophobia bloggers saying “wow, you really opened my eyes… i never saw it this way before…” like am i going crazy??? am i the only one who sees the incredible irony here? maybe you guys… here’s a thought… should listen to women also?

i’ll forgive a fat girl for so many annoying things simply because i know how fucking miserable it is to be a fat girl. like. you dont get to exist freely and with any joy until you go through a decades long soul search full of extreme emotional pain OR you nearly kill yourself to become something society might accept. or you toughen up after years of bullying forced you to be more confident. literally there is no painless route to being a fat girl in your 20 somethings. so like. fat girls can be annoying as a treat. you have all been annoying our whole lives
There is still hope. Say it out loud. Palestine will be free. The Palestinian people will celebrate their culture and heritage with each other. We will love and be loved. Do not fall into the trap of despair.
students at Emory university in Atlanta set up a solidarity encampment that lasted all of three hours before the Atlanta Police department and Georgia State patrol came and forced them off the quad. They threw tear gas into the crowd, shot students with rubber bullets, and tased students. multiple students and faculty have been arrested including freshmen and tenured professors. friends of mine were tear gassed and had their belongings taken by the police, other friends have been arrested for "disorderly conduct" and are currently at the DeKalb county jail, where they'll likely be held overnight. the selections of which students have been arrested and which haven't are transparently racist and targeting black students. students from Morehouse and other Atlanta colleges were arrested as well. I'll update this post with more information as soon as bail is posted but they're still processing the people who have been arrested. if you can call the school or donate to the bail fund please do, and you can follow stopcopcity and emorystopcopcity on Instagram for more information. this isn't the first time Emory has called the cops on student protesters - just last year they called in the apd to shut down another solidarity encampment for stop cop city. stop cop city has lost traction outside of Atlanta but the fight to stop cop city and the fight to free Palestine cannot be separated from one another.
when is comes to asexuality and aromanticism you have to be okay with contradiction. one ace person will say asexuality is about not experiencing attraction, another will say it’s about not caring to act on attraction, another will say it’s not experiencing arousal. one aromantic will consider themself queer, one won’t. two people with seemingly identical experiences will use two different labels. aro people will be in romantic relationships, ace people will have sex. you get it.
a stud in black leather on a black motorcycle just revved their engine at me and thank god I tore my demonic uterus out ages ago because I think that would have finally knocked me up
