An open letter to the U.S. Supreme Court

Abortion as reproductive healthcare is a right, PERIOD.

46 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!

A cadaver who holds viable organs ripe for life-saving donations can impact eight individual human lives. One citizen can save eight viable human beings, living breathing people with families, likely with social security numbers, even jobs, but most certainly: with economic investment in their very existence. But, without the express consent of a dead person, that means nothing. The body will be processed for eternal rest rendering its lifesaving organs useless to the living. As is legal, as is that cadaver’s right, the right to body autonomy.

Why then do the citizens of the United States come to hear that the supreme court is of the opinion that the same body autonomy granted to corpses in the face of documented citizens is not extended to women in the face of undocumented fetuses? It is the right of a person to decide what their body is used for, before death as well as after. This includes their reproductive rights. In fact, forced pregnancy is an assault on the human rights set forth by the United Nations (UN) of which the United States of America (USA) is a permanent member of. Denial of reproductive healthcare such as abortion is a violation of human rights.

Depending on the supreme court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the already tenuous protections provided by Roe v. Wade will be entirely up for debate. Regardless of your personal beliefs on the morality of abortions, know that unprotected access to abortions will, and has already, resulted in women being charged with manslaughter over uncontrollable miscarriages, families weeping for doctors to abort miscarrying fetuses that are actively killing their beloved wives and mothers, women who are sentenced to death by pregnancy with a non-viable fetus. Even a healthy woman and fetus can, and do, turn deadly at a moment’s notice. To speak nothing on why a person might decide against the permanent body and life changes outside of concerns about mortality. Or how these policies disproportionately affect transgender people, people of color, and impoverished people. Or even how we have proof that reinforcing sexual education, access to birth control, paternity protections, and family welfare programs all are more cost-effective, more impactful, and more humane ways to decrease the rate of abortions.

To restrict access to reproductive healthcare, access to abortions, to any of these people, to do so will kill Americans. Do not cripple Roe v. Wade.

To quote Planned Parenthood, “Our bodies are our own — if they are not, we cannot be truly free or equal. Across the country, some politicians are trying to make decisions about our bodies for us. We won't let the abortion bans sweeping the country put our lives and futures at risk, and we won't be silenced while our fundamental right to control our bodies is taken away.

“Everyone deserves health care that's free of shame, stigma, or judgment. Together, we say: Get your bans off our bodies!”

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

I can't stop imagining what Nanahiko would look like in genderbend ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ

Tall woman!Sorahiko and male!Nana, loving his tall wife ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ༎ຶ⁠‿⁠༎ຶ

my biggest belief in genderbent nanahiko is that they do have to retain certain qualities. in other words:

sora(hiko) dresses masc, has a butch haircut, and does not play well as an adoptive mother. this woman IS going to beat up the teenager in the name of training, and she IS going to be that granny torino who beats up the grand-student.

nana (in an incredibly self-indulgent AU that @thisauthorisscreaming and i developed, nana's name is shichi) still has longer hair, has the chest of any self-respecting gymrat, and remains, out of all the one for all holders, the canonical fucker

Every day of the year, not just during Pride Month. Trans and GNC lives are ALWAYS important and ALWAYS relevant.

RIVER: So Missy, if it's not a personal question, why did you decide to, uh, upgrade your gender? MISSY: If it's not a persona question!? You can't GET more personal. RIVER: I know, I'm incorrigible. MISSY: The answer is, I don't know. I just woke up one day even more fascinating than usual. RIVER: So it wasn't deliberate? MISSY: You've regenerated haven't you? RIVER: Yeah, a couple of times. MISSY: Then you'll know. Sometimes, it's like playing pin the tail on the donkey during an earthquake. If you come out the other side with the right number of eyes that counts as a win. RIVER: So, do you feel different from how you were? MISSY: I feel like me. I felt like me before. Silly question.

There is no official transcript for me to screenshot and be annoying about so you get the whole audio clip. She is so transgender to me. like she gets it

[stands on my soapbox]

i think margaery tyrell's hyperfeminine performance (which is clearly crafted carefully to use the prejudices of the hypersexist feudal system they're in) is equally as interesting a gender performance as hypermasculine performances like brienne and daecy but is overlooked because for "some reason" hyperfemininity isn't seen as a gender performance, just as "gender."

[no one is looking. i step off my soapbox]

"gender bent au" what if I hit you with a metal chair.

"gender bent mag" what if I take your internet away and make you think. for once

I see people headcanoning Tim as trans femme. I'm in the crowd cheering for them screeming at the top of my lungs. someone yells GENDER BEND AU? i approach from behind, crouched down.

EDIT I'm not sorry for going insane in the tags. enjoy the rant because I think it's important. 🏳️‍⚧️

[thedreadvampy]

I really can't substantiate bc it's an ongoing situation but one of my best friends works at a formerly extremely inclusive and queer-friendly women's charity which has recently come under new management

and they told me the other day

that their 'gender interrogation' is this week (their words, not the employer's)

apparently, they and 2 other employees out of about 30-40 have been singled out and asked to say whether they self-identify as women. implicitly as a condition of continued employment.

because it's a women's charity they all already self-IDed as women when they started there for the purposes of the Equalities Act exemption on gender-specific services.

oh also as a Strange Coincidence all 3 of the staff who've been asked to reassert their gender are butch/GNC and there are femme nb people there who aren't being asked. My friend is nonbinary (but uses she/her at work), but is a dyke in Dickies and buttondowns so has to pinkie promise they're a woman in order to Protect The Women.

they're so fucking mad about it cause they're like. wild that as an afab person I have to self-ID as a woman for it to count, but self-ID means nothing for amab people (the charity has already jettisoned all its transfem staff)

and I'm just like

jesus well that's not a good sign on the Weimar Mindmap is it.
