Incredible how Americans are so brainwashed by capitalist realism that a large contingent out our leftists genuinely believe government regulation isn’t physically possible.
being so fr with you all we need to drastically accelerate anti-car propaganda.
we need to make it so clear to future generations that we no longer tolerate a world where you cannot conveniently go for a walk or get a coffee or get groceries without a car
pink tax is products targeted towards women being more expensive than products targeted towards men (idk if this has carried over into products targeted towards transfems vs transmascs- wouldn't be surprised if it did tho)
period tax is the fact that if you menstruate, you have to pay for pretty expensive prices pads or tampons to avoid making your underwear+pants being a biohazard
Oh ok that's what I thought period tax was but I wasn't 100% on that. For the last 7 years I've been lucky enough to live in a place where it's easy to find free pads, so I've refused on a moral level to pay for them and hoarded bc yeah, that shit should be free lol
As for "women's" products, I've avoided that shit like the plague for as long as I can remember for the reasons you stated. [Insert down with cis bus meme]
From what I've observed, it seems certain industries (i.e., p*rn, probably also beauty products) are okay depicting transwomen as long as it's for fetishistic purposes and/or to feed hyperfeminine beauty standards. Transmascs, on the other hand, are nonexistent because "men without a bio-penis" and top surgery scarring is inherently considered gross or smth. Also transfemmes who aren't transwomen don't exist wym hhhh
So under these circumstances, products for transfemmes actually means "products for women," and products for transmascs are nonexistent. Obviously these are generalizations and not backed by any science, just what I've observed.
having a uterus SUCKS man bc all day you'll be feeling the "hey bestie check your pants 😃 check it right now 😃 you might be getting your period 😃 hey bestie i think youre bleeding 😃" and then when you check if you got your period and your body is like WRONG ❌️ its The Slime
The thing is you read too much 19th century Brit Lit and that’s literally just how you start to talk. Was speaking with a friend about another friend and I said “he’s very agreeable, but he lacks discernment” like that was in any way a normal way to phrase that sentiment.
one of my riso print designs! based on the ventricosus arc when phos began their journey of change through unraveling the truth of humanity and understanding the concept of death.
i like how the sea is portrayed as a pivotal point of phos' undergoing physical transformation and deepening their sense of purpose, like driving their passion in keeping their promise and learning about the lunarians and the dark past of humankind. this part of the series is so nostalgic now ugh😭🥺
