Oh okay I hit the gross part where the book is like "women leave college and spend more time around men and as they get older have more opposite-sex encounters, this is proof of sexual fluidity and nothing else." -100/10 eat barbed wire

The like bizarre thing about this book is that it lays out its thesis as "women's sexuality is more fluid than we understand" and then in the very beginning is like, "I can divide my group into two: women who only experience same-sex attraction, and those who don't". So like. What.

The Enlightened Non-Western Cultures Have An Understanding Of Sexual Fluidity In Women Where They Have Same-Sex Experiences When Young Then Grow Up To Marry Men And Have Children :) Q U E E R S T U D I E S

Currently corroding the sanity of my friends by inflicting a 2009 book on "sexual fluidity" on them

I beg and implore you, with all the humanity that exists in this world, please save my child. I love him so much, and I cannot bear to lose him. Please consider your donation as a debt that I promise to pay back as soon as God provides for me. My only dream is to save my child👇🏻 gofund.me/e29844317 🙏🏻

@gorangligovic.bsky.social Please help me save my mother.

The point is to sucker you into indentured servitude with pretty words

"Mothers are uncelebrated, overworked, and made to endure thankless drudgery" and "Society equates womanhood with motherhood and romanticizes the role of mothers to push women towards domestic confinement" are both true statements about patriarchy by the way

Please don’t leave us alone💔🙏 My husband is at risk of amputation or losing his life⚠️ His mother has no medicine and her life is in danger😢 My daughters are very sick 🩺and Eriam needs milk and diapers🍼 Every moment without help puts us in more danger We urgently need£500💔😭 chuffed.org/project/omsham

Xena saying "I lost him" about a guy with a neck wound... Ma'am you are not a doctor this is not Xena's Anatomy

Now Gabby has a Masters in Cultist Chant Studies

Why is this a legal drama now. Does this setting have a uniform legal code. Is Gabby a lawyer

I've fully lost interest in the main plot I want to know if this white man will finish Animorphing into Jafar

Watching Xena with dykes

I want to point out that this is subtly regendering---"transgender athlete" and not "trans man". There's already a nasty Daily Mail article as well, and I sincerely hope this doesn't result in a worldwide backlash akin to Imane Khelif's case. But I have some reasons to doubt that'll happen.

"Oh no! I can't believe Big Transgender continues to do cultural imperialism and erases indigenous third sexes all over the globe. We must rescue them from this linguistic colonization forthwith!"

"Of course, these third-gendered penetrable males know they are not women"

Bellies I'm allowed to pet 🥹

Been a while since there's been any movement on this, can we get some donations going?

gotta do a song about how Zindi ended up with His Eyes Red, His Face Wet, and you know there's gonna be an epic song about The River Temarc, In Winter

so a friend and I are starting a death-doom metal band and we're naming ourselves "Shaka, When The Walls Fell" and the gimmick is all of the lines are Tamarian phrases, like gonna do a whole song about Gilgamesh and Enkidu at Uruk, and another one will be Darmok When he Hunted The Korrax, etc etc

How in the fuck am I turning 37 in two weeks?

Really making the subtext text

😥🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 My children are orphans, my friends. They deserve your donations and kindness. Why isn't anyone donating to them? It's a trust placed in your hands. We are strengthened by your support. Don't forget us.😭💔🙏 ✅✅Verified by: @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/161617

Come listen to me yap about lesbian feminist history :3

no more men period. take the estrogen or face oblivion.

Hey all, I'm crunching the numbers and it looks like I might need just a bit more help for the extra costs with my bottom surgery (the surgery is now entirely paid for, it's the lodging during recovery and such) ko-fi.com/vyriadurav/g... I've got until April to raise a bit extra, anything helps

I'm so fucking tired of men in media. Overdone. Trite. Hackneyed. Excessive. Unoriginal. Boring. Cliché. Pandering. Lowest-common-denominator algo-chasing mass-market slop. Enough. No more men in media.

"I just don't think someone who was born male should be running with womyn-born-womyn, which is why I have no choice but to side with Jeffrey Epstein."

"You don't understand. The thought of my little Jameighlynn having to kick ball with a boy---I mean a trans-identified male---I mean a transgirl---simply sends me into a frothing carceral rage that means I absolutely must support those who want trans people forcibly detransitioned and tortured."

"I have some Reasonable Concerns about trans participation in women's sports which is why I support a worldwide crusade against transition care and trans recognition and want trans people unable to participate in public life or exist in society." "Because of the Reasonable Concerns. About sports."

It's particularly hysteria-inducing when the art in question is like, someone in a skirt in the early stages of transition, and people start talking about "trans butches". Like okay that's very revealing.

Can't really do anything about it, a lot of this is the consequence of the preponderance of transfem art about us over transfem art by us, which isn't getting fixed anytime soon.

Through it all I can't help but notice that the truth of how much trans women are placed under a panopticon and fetishized for all the ways in which we're presumed to be inherently or ontologically subversive, deviant, non-conforming and "outside of gender" gets elided.

You get people arguing that it's binary and racist and colonial to "only want pretty passing trans women" as though no trans woman of color has ever been pretty or passed (fun), arguments about trans butches and third genders and non-binary identity, every accusing each other of conservatism.

And then it always ends up with arguments between largely early transitioners and closeted trans girls who say they feel represented by such art, set against mostly girls who've been out a while and have noticed how much others are obsessed with finding the man in us, and it's very exhausting.

So we get this odd cyclical discourse about how important it is to celebrate non-passing, early-transition, or otherwise "non-stereotypical" depictions of trans women when frankly it's as "non-stereotypical" to depict us as plane jane feminine women as anything us, because there isn't much anyway.

You know I genuinely don't understand why a lot of people seem to think that depicting trans women as "gender-ambiguous" or "effeminate males who long to be seen as Real Women but can't" is like, "breaking stereotypes". That's the dominant narrative on trans women. It's what most people think.

I’m at $57/$947 Electricity has been shut off which I need to heat the house , use the stove, lights and run the refrigerator. We are also low on food. My birthday is this Friday and if that’s any incentive for help that would be cool. Literally just want to get by.

If the government can take away your voting rights for a felony conviction, and they also decide what constitutes a felony, and they also decide who’s charged with the felony, and they also decide who’s prosecuted for the felony, you don’t have a right to vote.

i would love to learn about statlander or thekla's strap awareness

"She has great strap awareness" Bryan please

My daughter is sick… we face death every day.💔 My children are hungry, and my husband and his mother need medicine 😢 We are homeless, with no food, medicine, or enough blankets. Our only dream is to live without fear.🙏 Please help urgently — we need $200 😭 chuffed.org/project/omsh...

if the label for your non-Western third gender has etymological roots in a Western language it should maybe tell you something

there's at least three terms like this btw
