Getting The "girls Can Do Anything And Still Be A Girl" Talk Is Like Being Handed A Sword. Being Told

For most people, life doesn’t truly begin until they’re 26-30 or older. The way we romanticize and obsess over youth is super harmful. Your life is not over at 21, I promise you. It’s just beginning

Loneliness, when experienced by women, is treated like a joke. The stereotypical image of the crazy cat lady, the spinster, the old maid, has been mocked for centuries. A warning to other women not to be too selective, too cautious, too discerning, too demanding, or else you'll end up like her. A laughing stock.

But when men are "lonely" (ie. when women become more aware as a class and won't engage with manchildren), suddenly it's an epidemic- a crisis requiring analysis by sociologists and psychologists and hundreds and hundreds of articles dissecting why these poor men are so lonely, as though their loneliness reaches some special depth unknown to women.

I've gotta say, watching the creepiest dudes from my high school become TIMs is dystopian as fuck.

"Trans women are women" that is literally Brad from English. He's been fetishizing lesbians and frying his brain cells with anime porn since he got access to the internet.

Honestly when I hear people say “not receiving gender affirming surgeries will make me feel suicidal” I hear the same thing as if someone said “if I don’t get a nose job I’ll feel suicidal”

It’s a physical insecurity that wouldn’t exist in a vacuum. I’m sorry that you were influenced to feel this way, but surgery will not fix something that is rooted in self-hatred. If you change it with surgery, you will find another insecurity to fixate on within a week.

Also, can we talk about how rebranding gender affirming surgery as some life-saving procedure is just promoting and glamorising a very misogynistic and corrupt industry.

Casual reminder that many leaders who were opposing the Nazis in 1939 were also turning away Jewish refugees like the ones on the MS St. Louis.

So no, it's not enough to dislike and meme about punching nazis past and present solely on the basis of their fascism (not to mention it shows intellectual laziness that you can't bring up other fascist leaders).

And reminder that the Soviets only got pissed at the Nazis when they themselves got invaded.

So yes, if you've parrotted antisemitic tropes recently, it's really gonna call into question how much your objection is because you actually care... and how much is because now you are gonna be affected (or alternatively it's just because you have a new low-hanging fruit pet cause).

"people really don't realize the harm JKR has done to the trans rights movement" wrong because I do and I wish I had a way to tell her how much I love her for it

istg men do this all the time

WELCOME BACK GALÁPAGOS RAIL!!!

My detransition correlated directly with my capacity for self-deception and my ability to trust my own mind. As I lost the ability to lie to myself, and gained autonomy from those who sought to change my beliefs about myself, I became more aware of the ways transition harmed me, of the fact that it was not the thing that “saved my life” as I had previously thought, but rather a coping mechanism that prevented me from actually changing my life for the better.

Hate that I literally get emotional flashbacks when I see that stupid fucking flag. You know which one. Knowing that it was created by an AGP pedophile realllllyyy doesn’t help!

That’s what getting groomed and treated as a medical experiment and objectified at 16 will do to you. I hate it.
