are all of y'all liking this tweet aware that the honey bee is not only a domesticated, selectively bred animal, but also invasive to the americas? honey bees displace native pollinators. they are part of the problem!
@ereshkigirlboss
well the implication is that drawing trans women like that is "incorrect". either you're saying people who look like that aren't transfem or you're saying we shouldn't be represented. it isn't good either way

ok but then what is it that makes a trans man's feminine energy "natural". there's no way of saying that that isn't bio-essentialist.
presumably the implication is that cís men's feminine energy (if present) is unnatural
also saying that beekeepers take "excess honey" is like saying chicken farmers take "excess eggs", which disregards the fact that we're the reason they're produced in excess. it's also false, incidentally, as feeding bees sugar water is a common industry practice

politics is just like those movies where the conflict between our main characters is the result of an innocent miscommunication

ela a merio apercebeu-se que se continuasse com essa ia chegar a "não se devia fazer comentários sobre os corpos dos outros dessa forma, quer sejam magros ou gordos", mas como ela queria que a conclusão fosse "posso mandar bocas a gordos e magros à vontade" teve de trocar o passo

even when the court accepts the allegations, they might ignore them regardless. that's what happened with my dad. the court said he was "carrying out his duty to educate his children" when he brutally bruised my sister (which was photographed and documented in a police report)
the most prominent terf book in the market right now is ostensibly about transmascs and u seriously think they aren't targeted by terfs. lol. lmao, even. rofl, perhaps.
@AntifaCoulter
i would like to point out that a few weeks before virgil was outed, they had a short segment on the podcast saying that the left was "vulnerable" to sexual misconduct allegations

to be fair in a health class the professor (a doctor) literally showed us that your hands are not any dirtier after going to the bathroom. he said we should still wash our hands anyway cause we should wash them frequently, and after using the toilet it's as good a time as any
socdems talking about nordic prisons be like “when daddy state puts you in a comfy room ☺️ and feeds u 🥺🥺 and doesn't let you go out because you're a threat to society (you stole a tv) 😩😩😩”
"by today's standards" lol, lmao even. if you think colonialism and slavery weren't bad by the standards of the time, then you think the opinions of the colonized and the enslaved shouldn't figure into those standards.
"so you think a communist society wouldn't have work, but you also think that we shouldn't let the police make the lives of sex workers miserable in the present day?? how inconsistent!!"
so the american left will spend its time arguing about whether or not restaurants will exist under communism, but, will reject sex trade abolition, although it’s a necessary component of communist revolution, proletarian and colonized women’s liberation and class struggle itself?
imagine if getting an abortion required a "pregnancy dysphoria" diagnosis. and not only that, imagine if pro-choice advocates also talked about it in those terms, stressing "pregnancy dysphoria" as one of the crucial aspects of what it means to have an unwanted pregnancy.
the normalisation of "don't assume someone's gender, use neutral pronouns for everyone unless told otherwise" and its consequences for clocky girls like me who are counting on people to pick up on the female cues
the us supreme court is probably about to repeal same sex marriage and these people act like the gays already have all the rights lmao.
pride isn't a riot anymore, but it should be
MUTUAL AID REQUEST
A friend of mine is in need of a place to stay, anywhere in the US. Fae's a transfem vegan anarchist trying to escape an abusive relationship. She is disabled and requires a separate bed and space to store a walker and cane. If you know of anything, please dm.
this is a pattern that i've noticed before. if someone comes to know you before transition, the impulse is to deny your gender. if, on the other hand, they come to know you "after" transition, the impulse is (more likely to be) to recognize it.
