you can’t read a few text posts on tumblr and reblog a couple pictures of black lives matters and think you’re not racist. racism is a deeply engrained part of our culture - sometimes it’s not even conscious. you have to constantly question yourself. it’s pretty hard to unlearn 400+ years of institutional racism and in order for us to properly dismantle systems of injustice, we have to stop pretending we all aren’t part of the problem.

I honestly have no idea why TERFs are so hung up on inclusive language. 

It’s not like any kind of abortion legislation that is worded using the phrase “pregnant individuals” would somehow EXCLUDE women who needed abortion access? (It would however ensure that you wouldn’t have some loophole where a trans man who had legally changed their gender marker could be denied abortion services if he needed it.) 

It’s not like if we make the tampon boxes GREEN instead of pink, women won’t be able to buy them any more. It’s not like calling them “personal hygiene products” or “menstrual products” instead of “feminine hygiene products” would some how make them HARDER to buy?

It’s not like anyone would read “people who can get pregnant” or “people who have periods” and get like…confused? They wouldn’t FORGET that those issues impact (most) women? Like, if we somehow say the WORD “women” less often, are people going to FORGET that women…exist? No. They would, at worst, not even notice the somewhat uncommon wording. 

I can’t imagine a single scenario in which using inclusive language in situations where is applies could harm cis women?

I don’t know what harm TERFs THINK that inclusive language would cause. They just don’t want to be lumped in with non-binary folk and trans men. They just don’t want ANYONE to acknowledge that people outside of their narrow and strict idea of the traditional western gender-sex binary exists. 

And honestly, it’s not worth arguing with them about it. (So, hint, I won’t. If you’re a transphobe who comes at me on this post, I’m just gonna block you. I’m not giving you a platform here. This is just a sneaky trap to help bulk up my block list.)

Reblog, including a short excerpt from the update:

He emerged into the night, ready to run, his head tossing wildly from side to side – only to find Pacifica slouched on a nearby bench, her features illuminated by her cellphone screen.

“Pacifica, I thought you’d left!” he said, throwing a hand through his hair.

She looked up from her phone and a wane smile tweaked her lips. “I was going to call a cab. I didn’t want to walk home alone.”

Pacifica looked usually small where she sat on the bench, her skirt poofed out around her to conceal everything but her feet. He swallowed his fear and said, “I can walk you home. Is that okay?”

Her eyes flicked up to his face, and she replied, “I don’t need your pity. Go inside, see Mabel.”

“No, that isn’t it,” Dipper insisted, crossing the distance between them and stopping short of the bench. “I want to walk with you. I’ve been having such a great time with you.”

If Pacifica understood the subtext, she didn’t let on. After a few seconds of silence, the light of her phone screen dimmed and she tucked it into her small handbag. When she lifted her face to meet his gaze, her mouth was curved in a tentative smile. “Okay. Thanks, Dipper.”

With a careless shrug, he replied, “No problem.”

sometimes i think about the fact that Dreamworks was working on the Prince of Egypt and Shrek at the same time and would apparently send people to work on Shrek instead of the Prince of Egypt as a form of punishment

Everyone jokes about Ba Sing Se seeing Zuko and being like, “Lee from the tea shop?” but Iroh!!! Iroh! People need to make jokes about Iroh!

Because just imagine you’re a civilian in Ba Sing Se and you, like your neighbors, and your neighbors’ neighbors, know that The Jasmine Dragon has the best tea in the city. Only you show up one day, and the shop is abandoned. Soon after, the Fire Nation invades, and you find yourself worrying less about tea and more about surviving. You hold your family close as the troops march past your house. You do what you can to stay alive.

One day, you hear a bunch of crashes, and you look outside to see a small group of men wearing robes with white lotus tiles on them. You can only stare in awe as they begin to liberate an entire city. And leading them is…

“Honey, remember Mushi, the sweet old man from the tea shop?”

“Of course, the kindest soul around!”

“Yeah…he just annihilated like fifty tanks in a single breath.”

I just imagine the majority of Ba Sing Se was like:

But then, The Jasmine Dragon opens back up?!

Just imagine what it must be like to shuffle on inside, where ‘Mushi’ happily greets you with a warm cup and a warmer smile.

“………Okay, sir, I have to ask…were you the one who single-handedly took out a dozen soldiers on the corner of my street?”

“Ah, my friend, sometimes, we’re meant to be like this tea, stagnant and peaceful, giving someone else happiness and warmth. Othertimes, we’re meant to punch the oppressors in the face as hard as we can.”

“…”

“…Would you like to hear today’s specials?”

“Yes, please.”

Question: Does Zuko actually know that Toph was blind?

Counter-question: How long before Zuko knew that Toph was blind? 

Counter-counter-question: Do you think Zuko just spent weeks wondering, because sometimes, she seemed blind, but other times, she clearly knew where everything was, even ‘seeing’ stuff he didn’t?

And Zuko, being the newcomer to the group, already trying his best to not be hated, has no idea how to even ask this question. Because, let’s face it, very few people know how to talk to disabled people, and Zuko doesn’t know how to talk to any person, so combine that and I’m just imagining this succession of hijinks as he tries to figure out if she can see or not, without directly asking her.

(Toph knows exactly what he’s doing and is loving every moment of it, she messes with him so much, the whole gang gets involved, every time he thinks he’s cracked the code, they just intentionally screw things up, Sokka hands her a scroll and she, having already worked with the others to recite it, is able to ‘read’ the entire page. She then stands up and bumps into a tree. Zuko is near tears. Even in Ember Island Players, he’s still not 100% sure, because the play hasn’t been accurate so far. Maybe the playwright didn’t even know if she’s blind or not??? Like, the more I think about it, the more I’m convinced that Zuko spent his whole life second-guessing because nobody bothered explaining the seismic sense, mostly because everyone loved messing with him.)
