like terf accusations don’t bother me cause i know what i believe and i know trans women are my sisters in arms and i’ll defend and love them forever and ever but it just makes me realize how bleak the state of feminism is that it’s so common to dismiss anything about feminism as being part of a hateful message. we’re backsliding really badly and it makes me really fucking scared to know a lot of you won’t have women’s backs against the rise of misogyny in the form of andrew tate and alpha male rhetoric. we can’t even discuss feminism on tumblr, the sjw homeland, without getting backlash. that is so bleak dude

i feel like agender identified women could have been gender critical if they weren't so indoctrinated and scared of the terf boogeyman to the point they would shut down any attempt from their brain to think critically

Transactivism in one post from BickerinBrattle on Mumsnet:

"We just want to pee.

And use your changing rooms.

And shower beside you in the gym.

And sleep beside you in the hostel.

Also sleep beside you in hospital.

And if you’re a lesbian, we want to fuck you with our lesbian penis.

We just want to take your allotted women’s shortlist spaces.

And win your women in STEM or business or arts awards.

And count as you for pay gap data.

Also for the crime we commit, when counted statistically.

We really just want to pee.

And also play on your rugby and football teams.

And win your gold medals and set your world records.

And your women’s scholarships.

What difference does it make to you how someone identifies?

We just want to pee.

That some of us film ourselves wanking in your cubicles and post the videos online — you can’t judge a group by a few bad apples.

We just want to pee and you can’t blame us that some of us also rape you and get imprisoned with you in the female estate.

We also want into your rape and DV refuges.

And your support groups.

We just want to pee beside you, change beside you, shower beside you, sleep beside you, be in the scrum beside you, stand on the podium beside you, take from you, do time with you, and f*ck your lesbian vagina - —

And gaze at you everywhere and anywhere but inside a private home because there is nowhere you can exclude us.

Oh — and by “you” we also mean your daughters, of whatever age.

And I forgot-

we also want you to stop calling yourselves women, stop referring to your pregnancies, menstruation, vaginas, uteri, cancers, or breastfeeding in any way that associates those with women — because that hurts our feelings.

If you cannot accede to every one of our wishes, we’ll threaten you with rape and death online, if possible get the police to act on our complaints about you, and notify your employer of your bigotry.

And if you try to organise protest against any of this, we’ll harass your venue, make a bomb threat, beat you to the floor, have the police eject you though you’re only sitting on chairs eating pizza, threaten you with baseball bats, and — now — organise a city council to limit your right to speak about yourselves and your issues.

Because your words are hate.

If you don’t like any of this — stay home.

We just want to pee."

The Morrigan: not a death goddess

Based off reading lore, my view is that it is unfair to say the Morrigan is a death goddess.

The other members of the Tuatha kill people in battle probably more so than she does.

The following list is compiled from the different goddeses that make up the Morrigan, namely Badb, Macha, and the singular Morrigan.

Features of the Morrigan according to what I've read in lore:

She does magic to thwart the tribe's enemies

She prophesizes the outcome of battle

Announces ones death

Incites the tribe to battle

Prophesizes the future through poetry

Instills fear in the enemy

Initiates the events that lead to Cu Chulainn's fate and death

Flies over the battle field in the form of a crow

Fights in war

Bestows sovereignty

Possibly grants success in battle.

one of the hardest pills to swallow is accepting the fact that you can’t force someone to care, to love you, to be invested. it either comes naturally or not at all.

hi can we please separate the term "healthcare" from the term "transitional care"/"medical transition". like neither of those things should be legislated against but there IS an obvious difference between the idea of denying trans people healthcare and denying them medical transition. those things are in fact worlds apart

“You know that most women are hurt in their homes. You know most women are murdered in their homes. A political movement, as I understand it, exists to change the way social reality is organized. And that means that we need to understand everything about the way this system works. And that means that every woman who has had experience with sexual violence of any kind has not just pain, and not just hurt, but has knowledge. Knowledge of male supremacy. Knowledge of what it is. Knowledge of what it feels like. And can begin to think strategically about how to stop it. We are living under a reign of terror.”
