Once you reach that age where you realize periods aren’t really that gross they’re more of just a nuisance is just a really great turning point for most women. Keep telling the young girls in your life that periods aren’t gross, just reality.

Remember how when dylan mulvaney released his song, and got (rightfully) told the song was bad and anti-feminist, but he had SO MANY people talking about how he was only getting negative comments about it because he was trans and a cis woman wouldnt be getting the criticism he was getting? I think in a way Jojo proves this is untrue. She releases a not great song, it's not particularly feminist, and people are RIPPING into her for everything little thing, and almost no one is standing up for her or suggesting there could be any mitigating factors at all. Idk, obviously they aren't a 1 to 1 comparison but it was something I had in my head

yeah even dylan mulvaney got more support & ppl speaking up even when that song is much worse…

Why are y'all so funny 😭

The way that like 90+ percent of the true crime cases featured on shows like Dateline and forensic files involve a man murdering a woman, most often his wife or girlfriend (or a woman he had sexual contact with like a prostitute) and we’re just supposed to accept the fact that we live in a world where men kill the women they love sometimes, and no this obviously isn’t about misogyny these are isolated crimes of passion, and shouldn’t you be grateful that your husband only screams at you or hits you instead of killing you?

come to think about it there's not much to celebrate about the deaths of people like OJ Simpson to me. good riddance and all but mostly, it's just depressing how people like him get to die surrounded by their loved ones at an old age, having lived a long life of luxury and success. sure he must have been in pain but still he had the privilege of dying knowing that he's loved and the privilege of having lived on the level only a few other people have lived. Nicole Brown had none of these privileges and died alone, stabbed by the man she married, at just 35. she lived her last months (years?) terrified of her husband, knowing he would murder her eventually, desperately looking for help but never finding it. everyone will die one day anyway, and the way he went was probably the best way to go. his victims never got any justice and now they never will, and at the end he never had to answer or suffer any punishment for anything that he's done.

it is soooo crazy how male friendships are always better because in female friendships girls just fight all the time but also there is a male loneliness epidemic because men dont talk about their feelings with their friends and they need to rely on women

Happy Lesbian Visibility Week! ⚢

"I can't pretend you are a bunny, bunnies are a real thing"

... unlike women?

The argument that we should no longer have sports leagues for men and women, instead sort everyhing by height/weight/muscle mass is crazy because do you know what categories would be the most effective sorting system with the least amount of random outliers? Male and female sports

Why on earth is anyone taking this shoddy cass review seriously?

I'm sorry but it's baffling how an actual government is uncritically taking this review at face value. It literally only comes to the conclusion it does because it ignore literally all other evidence. They excluded a shit ton of studies because they didn't have enough controls, which sounds reasonable but in order to have those controls they'd have to unknowingly give patients placebos instead of the hormonal therapy and puberty blockers they asked for.

That would be an extremely unethical thing to do, and would achieve nothing because the effects of hormonal therapy and puberty blockers are extremely obvious.

Just let that sit with you for a moment. All that clinical evidence completely thrown out the window because they didn't do a horrific and unethical test on their patients. All that clinical evidence ignored because the study was ethical. This is an extreme oversight at BEST and deliberate misinformation at worst. Either way, it makes the review extremely unreliable.

That's just one issue. But the fact that the vast, VAST majority of research was completely ignored due to a ridiculous and unethical requirement should be enough for you to oppose anyone using this as evidence for anything other than why queer people need to be included in scientific discussions about our communities. Because this review is being used to roll back LGBT rights.

I’m begging of you even if you disagree with Israel (rightly so), do not fall into the enemy of my enemy is my friend mentality. Do not forget the atrocities that the Islamic Republic has committed and is committing against its own people, including children. Do not forget Mahsa Amini and Nika Shahkarami and the millions killed by the Islamic Republic.

Sincerely, an Iranian.
