Please hear me when I say that 1) these anti-medical woo birth movements have been a primary feeder into anti-vaxx eugenic movements 2) they pre-date the age of social media 3) they exist because we have not addressed medical sexism and specifically obstetric violence

Writing again! fighting my adhd claw and fang to get creative work done and succeeding for once Have some characters whose dynamic I'm really enjoying chewing on. nasty manipulative crime boss and mean stand-offish street witch, lots of themes of disability n' gaze n' entitlement

Kathleen Stock has written an article against "abortion permissiveness". She claims abortion requires "justification" saying the state should limit "unacceptable decision-making" by women about their own bodies. This is who anti-trans activists proclaim as the feminist thought leaders of our time.

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.

This illustration is about trans men. It is supposed to be how trans men are viewed as a corruption of "femininity" :p it is about rejecting ascribed, coerced divinity and embracing what is human, the right to change your own self. :]

The Iconoclasm

this should put the fear into anyone who sells anything even vaguely NSFW on the internet. Ana Valens has been DEBANKED because of her activism about paypro censorship - as in the kind of thing they do to international drug dealers. they have flagged her BANK ACCOUNT. for doing giantess/vore vtubing

Some abled parents of disabled people are the most violent ableists. They use their children as tools to demonstrate their heroism in shouldering the burden of taking care of a disabled person, think they’re incapable of ableism, and say the experience of a caretaker is the same as being disabled.

see also: the men who can’t let their female mentee outshine them, which results in a need to constantly talk her down, talk over her, slander her reputation, and minimize her in every way, with the hope that the woman will eventually either give up and leave academia or accept her “lesser” status

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Also, when you get your library to buy my book, it's on your library's shelves. A hundred extra people might lay eyes on it a week, in person, and pick it up on a whim. How many books that you love have you stumbled across just because you liked the cover or saw it in a library display?

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Thinking about this a lot Is it possible to just make a game but not have a fucking discord for it or anything that draws attention to u as the creator lol

Banjo-Tooie Ending E

Marriage equality does not exist for everyone until disabled people can marry without losing their benefits.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children. It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

so many people are lending a hand to fascists when they police each other on "acceptable" nsfw content and get too scared to stand up for sw'ers and artists when the worst thay could happen to them is get called problematic by other puritans

Happy first day of transgender awareness week. I am an indigenous isneg-hiligaynon trans man. And I like drawing trans guys. All I want is for you guys to look at my art.

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY

Honestly, I think @pornhub.com is acting stricter toward me because I’m creating queer porn. That’s it. Because there is SO MUCH mommy domme content on the site

OH ALSO @pornhub.com misgendered me My pronouns are she and her. Not “them.” The audio is labeled F4F. It takes one Google search to confirm the “model” uses she

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal." JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"

The notion abusers need to resort to conspiracies and subterfuge is more comforting than the truth that many people will readily look the other way when confronted with sexual violence if doing otherwise would even slightly inconvenience them

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

These are some quite heartbreaking stories and, as Holly Greenberry-Pullen comments in the piece, really illustrates the perverse absurdity of deeming trans teens to young to even get blockers but being fine with intersex kids getting horrifically drastic full-on bodily surgery as *toddlers*.

One of the big things I hear about transmascs transitioning, which I especially saw with Elliot Page, was how we become ugly and undesirable and our "beautiful womanhood" is lost and corrupted. This isn't just from cis men, but transphobic lesbians as well (part of the "lost lesbian" narrative)

it ALSO makes me more vulnerable to abuse. ive had multiple instances where my abuser was more likable and sympathetic than me and so people simply sided with them because they were more likable, even in the instances where i had literal evidence of them lying to people.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

you gotta love tboys with beards and deep voices toooo u gotta remember trans men are men actually and not "tomboys" or "femboys" (unless they identify with it and say its ok to call them that)

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information" They want people to assume this means game info or assets. But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to: 'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Radfems do not care about interiority, just like cis men. They call themselves gender abolitionists while only understanding sex as legitimizing of gender. Ask any radfem their views of intersex people and we are only understood as "mutations" rather than complex human beings

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

no actually I don’t think it’s chill for trans men to feel like they’ve “inherited patriarchal baggage” for transitioning. What you have done is an incredibly brave thing that has marginalized you further in essentially every way. absolutely batshit to put the sins of patriarchy on trans men

“if you’re a good tenant, your landlord would want you to stay!” the average landlord would evict jesus christ himself if it meant they could move in someone who will pay $5 more a month, please be serious

Us: For the love of god, STOP remaking everything, make something ORIGINAL for fuck’s sake!! Remake privileges REVOKED Guillermo del Toro: *walking out of universal with 40 monsters stuffed under his trenchcoat* Us: Okay everyone EXCEPT Mr. del Toro

Asexuals (speaking as one) need to take a page from feminists rejecting choice feminism. You can choose to forever be uncomfortable with the idea of sex but it doesn't take precedence over the broader culture of shame, stigma and repression that fascists built to control marginalized genders. Lol

Anyone who is willing to sacrifice my civil and human rights is an existential threat to me and I will respond to them that way. Trans people are not your acceptable losses. Neither are immigrants. Neither are Palestinians. We all get out together or we don't get out of this at all.

Fucking white cis dudes always real eager to tell people we need to let them step on us just a little bit longer and: absolutely the fuck not. Crawl back in your hole.

No, Adam, it does not. Someone who wishes for my nonexistence is a fucking bigot and a fascist even if they dress it up in nicer words than the current fucking bigots and fascists. I am not acceptable collateral damage and neither is anyone else. We all get out together or we don't get out at all.

you actually don't need to have affective empathy to be a good person. if you don't feel sad when other people feel sad or whatever, that doesn't make you a monster. it's your behavior and how you choose to treat others that decides your character. not the presence or absence of emotions.

they are so close to understanding the entire point of trade

Don’t let the frogwater that’s boiling us alive let you skip over this: we murdered another country’s citizens in cold blood, and when their leader objected, we called him a drug dealer and cut off aid to his country. That’s freakish.

People shifted from labeling people as abusers to narcissists. Super lame. The orobouros of trying to taxonomize people who do bad things as inherent only to a specific kind of person is an intellectual void

Happy Indigenous Peoples day, I am indigenous Isneg/Apayao through my mother, who is in need of help. please help me take care of my mama at trying to manage a progressive disease and helping extend her life through mutual aid and the miracle of modern medicine, please 🙇‍♂️

Being told to tone myself down has the same effect as being told to do the dishes when I already was gonna. Well, okay, I was going to walk this life with humility until you told me shame was necessary. Now I have to be arrogant. Because of you.
