liberate yourself bc your oppressors never will

“no children are being forced to take hrt or have surgeries that change the appearance of their genitals” intersex children are, actually

“everyone was assigned a gender at birth” there are intersex people who were not assigned a gender at birth

“trans women are amab trans people and trans men are afab trans people” there are intersex people who were assigned male at birth and later transitioned medically and socially to male, and intersex people who were assigned female at birth and later transitioned medically and socially to female

“assigned gender at birth is a 1:1 predictor of tma vs tme experience” there are intersex people who were assigned female at birth and experienced violence for being a woman with a penis + testes + secondary sex characteristics like facial hair + having a testosterone-dominant hormone profile, and had to transition medically and socially to be socially and medically recognized as women as adults

“bodies born with sex variations are medically nonbinary” no, they are intersex, and intersex people can be a binary gender if they want to be

“nonbinary people who want non-cisnormative sex variations are mentally ill/diseased for wanting a disordered body” no, bodies with sex variations are not disordered, and it harms intersex people for them to be seen as disordered regardless of if the body in question was born that way or created through surgery

“cis women don’t experience transphobic body policing/will never understand how it feels to have your womanhood constantly in question and subject to violence over things you can’t change” intersexism overlaps heavily with transphobia and an intersex woman can both identify as cis and have a penis, testes, be testosterone-dominant, etc, and have visible signs of those traits. an intersex woman can also have been amab or be currently legally designated as male by the government and still identify as cis.

stop saying intersexist shit in your trans discourse thanks

These are suggested for serving to recovering alcoholics, but I think they’re just fun and cool anyway? I like a fancy beverage, it doesn’t have to have booze. That cucumber Collins sounds refreshing AF

i love when people get up in arms about kink as like a “new perverted phenomenon” bc of their boogeyman obsession with porn. brother gay people have been slapping each other and pretending to be dogs while we fuck since the dawn of time. you’re only just finding out now bc your hole is largely unremarkable and your manner unbecoming

Not to be controversial B U T. I think 3rd/2nd shift public buses should be a thing. If you work the graveyard or a 2nd shift with weird hours you deserve to be able to get home regardless if you have a car or not.

I also think that there needs to be (a) bus line(s) to and from the cities to the rural areas. Yes this also means “rural” as in those ‘southern gothic aesthetic’ rural areas.

People should not have to be locked in the cities or in rural areas, they should have the freedom to be able to move around. If you’re low income, older, disabled, or can’t afford a car (bc it’s car + insurance + gas $$) then you’re kind of stuck where you’re at and this is coming from real life experience.

As someone who works the night shift I have many coworkers that basically work the last 2 hours until close for free because the cost of an uber is worth those 2 hours of work. My city has done 24/7 trains in the past for a 10 day festival, so I know they’re capable of doing it, they just don’t normally. Fact is it places so many people at a disadvantage, and not to mention it’s dangerous for anyone, but especially young women to be waiting around for a taxi/uber at 2am.

The United States has always been a terrible place to be sick and disabled. Ableism is baked into our myths of bootstrapping and self-reliance, in which health is virtue and illness is degeneracy. It is long past time for a bedrock shift, for all of us.

Long covid has derailed my life. Make no mistake: It could yours, too.

Because it is not mentioned by name in the article!:

If any of you develop “violent new food allergies” after having covid — even allergies that present as migraines, malaise, nausea, irritability rather than swelling and itching — you need to get checked for mast cell activation syndrome. It is staggeringly common to develop from long covid and is often treatable.

“it’s not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience” I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes

“but doesn’t this risk giving the author undue credit for queer representation” I do not care about the author
