having breasts does not make you a woman. having a vagina, vulva, or ovaries does not make you a woman. having XX chromosomes or an estrogen-dominant body does not make you a woman. having a period or the capability to have children does not make you a woman.

having or not having these things can affirm your identity and make you feel more like yourself, for sure. but the point is your body does not decide who you are - you do. you are in control of your own gender, your own identity. you are you no matter the body you inhabit. and i hope that if you dont feel it now, someday your body feels truly like home.

suffering is the new sexy. gag. choke. have tears stream down your face. be beaten, be marked with the violence they call sex. scream. writhe in discomfort. be pinned down. its not about desiring the cock it's about enduring it. wallow in the pain you have been told is your pleasure. heterosexual sex has, is, and always will be near indistinguishable from rape.

Okay so. First thing’s first, abortion is a right that shouldn’t be taken off the table. We’ve gotten that out of the way, now onto the hot take.

Abortion is in a sense “murder”. A necessary “murder”, but still a “murder”. I’m tired of rad libs screaming and shouting on how “that fetus is just a clump of cells! It’s nothing! You’re getting rid of something the size of a fucking chicken nugget! Fuck that thing!” Like…. That take is brain dead. It’s so incredibly brain dead. A fetus is not the same thing as a full blown baby but it is still alive. It’s growing and developing. If it were really just a clump of nothing, the majority of women who get abortions wouldn’t be so traumatized about it. People who murder pregnant women wouldn’t be charged with DOUBLE HOMICIDE. Like stop…. Talking so recklessly and crassly about abortions in that way makes those women seem as though they are distraught over nothing. In my oh so humble opinion, you sound incredibly idiotic making wild statements like that. Two things can be true. When you get an abortion, you are in fact ending a life, but you are entitled to do so. At the end of the day it’s your body. At the end of the day, if that fetus cannot exist without being physically attached to you for survival, it is your choice to do what you see fit. Virtually no one wants to get an abortion. Abortions overwhelmingly happen because it’s deemed necessary. When you are pregnant, when you are getting ready to deliver, that is the closest to death you will ever be as a woman. There are so many reasons why a woman would need an abortion. Being too young, not having reliable support, rape, simply bad timing.. it’s valid. You are ending life, but it’s valid because your life is just as important, if not way more important, than the fetus. I think arguing on behalf of ��that fetus isn’t even a living thing!” Is disingenuous. The argument should be “yes it’s ending life, but it’s a justifiable act. It’s a difficult but necessary act. It is not evil, it is circumstantial and something that deserves privacy and understanding of the autonomy of a woman.”

Lesbian separatism is one of the biggest threats to the LGBTQ+ community

Gatekeeping is bad, all gatekeeping

Abstract art is good, hate on rich people instead of hating on a valid and beautiful art form

If you see women shipping a m/m ship and immediately think it's straight women fetishizing, you're misogynist and heteronormative

If you're gonna listen to Taylor Swift, go ahead. I don't care. In fact, i own several CDs of hers from when I was younger. But let's not pretend she's doing anything stunning or subversive here. The other day in class, a girl said (with zero irony), "How are you not a Swiftie! She's like, the biggest feminist artist right now!"

She is a milquetoast, beauty-standard approved white woman from the southern united states. Complaining about the men in your life is definitely something i support, but T swift would have to go off the fucking rails to even be a blip on the feminism radar.

girlhood never stops we just evolve…

Unfriendly reminder that while you're busy mourning the loss of your childs old gender, claiming you need to mourn the death of your son/daughter, there's a group of boys/girls/enbies scrambling to take your kid clothes shopping, snatching up the chance to take those "first" experiences from you forever. Your sons first fishing trip is gonna be with his best bros, your daughters first makeover is going to be with her girl friends, your kids first camping trip out as themselves is gonna be with the besties. Good luck getting those bonding experiences back. While you're busy trying to guilt-trip your kid with your weird manufactured parental trauma, there's a whole community ready to take your place as the better family.

Your loss, someone elses gain.
