NO WAR

“You never pretended to be a bride when you were a little girl?” No???? Like literally never?

This is so cool I wish I knew more about it

Has anything actually gotten better, for all the work you talk about doing? Or is it just treading water in misery forever?

Anon, ten years ago gay people couldn't get married in large parts of the US. AIDS was an almost certain death sentence when I was in high school. I was looking at job boards the other day and found a part time gas station job that had health insurance as a benefit, which NEVER would have happened 15 years ago. When I was a kid, hitting your child was extremely normalized in the US and my parents were the weird ones for not doing it. There is a vaccine for chicken pox. I didn't meet anyone who had transitioned until my 20s because it was so uncommon to transition in the aughts, and now there are some states that protect your right to have gender affirming care provided by your health insurance. It's not all states, but it's better than the number of states that had it in 2010, which was zero. THERE ARE TENANTS UNIONS NOW. WE HAVE A VACCINE AGAINST CERVICAL CANCER.

And all of that has been the work of a lot of individuals and organizations and research teams and activists.

I got the Doctor finally paying attention to the fact that I might have a cyst on my ovaries. We need better female medicine everywhere. I’m so relieved.

I wish this for everyone that wants it

rb to have an ultra gay 2024

Sometimes I feel old and out of touch because I don't know anything about the hot new music but then I remember even when I was a teenager I did not know the hot new music because I was an uncool little nerd and my family didn't listen to the radio. So my out of touchness is consistent and not age related.

This and when there’s a belt holding everything together is also probably a good place to try to hit with a sword.

Every time I see a JRPG protagonist whose entire outfit is apparently held together by a single enormous zipper with a pull-tab the size of a soda can dangling from their chest, I have to wonder if any of their opponents in battle ever decide to just grab that thing and yank.
