telling butch lesbians to “be ugly” when rejecting feminine beauty standards is nice but butchness is something that lesbians find beautiful and desirable so maybe instead of telling butches to accept that they are ugly in a het world tell them that they dont have to live in a world where they’re considered ugly. you dont have to accept being ugly bc you arent ugly to us.
who else was on here at fifteen and thinking they were on the ace spectrum just bc they didn’t want to sleep with attractive people the moment they saw them/ bc they had a complicated relationship with their bodies and intimacy
no offence but people who aren’t lesbians should absolutely go off when we see lesbophobia and shut it down. lesbians can’t even defend themselves at this point without being painted as irrational, angry and exclusionary
This isnt a hot take but feminism which centers around periods/vaginas/boobs as Things Which Unite All Women is an untrustworthy brand of feminism
slogans like “no pussy no power” “viva la vulva” “not an ovary-action” etc as stand-ins for “i support women” are more damaging than yall think bc centering ur feminism around things which only cis women experience a) alienates trans women who dont experience them, b) is harmful to ppl who DO experience them but arent women, & c) furthers the mentality that gender = genitals/trans women dont really have a place fighting for womens rights. none of that is as progressive as yall think holding up a sign with a vagina on it is, same goes 4 writing that shit on pads. not every woman has a vagina & not everyone with a vagina is a woman, and feminism which marginalizes entire subsets of us for the sake of a catchy slogan isnt good feminism
Reducing women down to body parts, especially genitalia, is misogynistic.
It’s one thing to challenge stigmas around things like the vulva and menstruation, but when your feminism ties those things to women-hood, it is reductive at best, and inherently exclusionary.
full offense but the increase in cop shows in recent years being concurrent with the more widespread condemnation of the police is not a fucking coincidence
Some history, cop shows exist to make the public like cops.
Remember when I said this and people where mad because I would kiss the ground B99 walked on?
Original detective stories of Sherlock Holmes: depict police as stiff and lacking imagination
Later developments from early 20th century (Agatha Christie and such): similarly, police is stupid and easily tricked by criminals, and smart amateurs have to save the day
around 1930s ‘hardboiled’ and noir fiction: police are every bit and corrupt and detestable as criminals, and sometimes ARE the gangsters. These are almost entirely realistic, as they’re often written from actual experiences of real private detectives
1940s, vigilante detective fiction like Batman and the Shadow: where as always, police is portrayed as at worst corrupt and at best useless, and it’s up to brilliant people in masks to solve crimes
1950s: SUDDENLY with Dragnet, police are all brilliant crimefighter heroes who solve all the crimes, and are Always Lawful Good, and criminals are Always Chaotic Evil
onwards: 80-90% of detective fiction is about cops, and usually follows the Dragnet formula (e.g. stuff like CSI)
Thesis: police procedural is a predatory creation that has co-opted the notoriously anti-cop genre of detective fiction, whose primary starting idea was that cops were little more than thugish brutes, unsuited to subtle scientific art of solving crimes, and turned it into shallow propaganda.
Thesis point 2: Scooby Doo are the only unproblematic modern detective stories.
my teeth were smashed out in a transphobic hate crime a while ago and i’m trying desperately to get them fixed in whatever way i can, and now that youcaring is gone i need to find a new route. i was able to get one piece completed but the rest of the damage is severe enough that we’re having to figure out temporary means to prevent my jaw from forcing itself out of the socket with chewing and biting motions, and even speaking has been painful this last week. i’m going to get a new fund thing set up as soon as i can go through the lot and see the fees and stuff, but in the meanwhile i’m hurting bad and might have to make another emergency visit very very soon. the one bright spot right now is that i have a job interview for a spot that i’m really qualified and experienced at tomorrow, so fingers crossed that i can possibly get insurance that will help me soon, but i still need to figure out what i can do right now. if you can contribute anything, i’m at paypal.me/awesomandias, or manicpixietransgrrrl@gmail.com, and every little bit adds up. thank you all so so fucking much for sharing this or donating, i appreciate it from the bottom of my lil black heart ❤
still haven’t got a new official fund for this set up and i’ve got a job now but it’s still just not enough for what i need done without some outside help, so i’m sending this around again. with my insurance they’re really only willing to cover extractions right now which will just not help at all with not having enough teeth to eat with, so i’m kinda stuck. any little bit adds up and helps me get closer to being a human again 🖤
