I always find it interesting that these people completely ignore hijabi girls when they think about getting rid of female bathrooms in schools. I had many muslim friends and classmates who wore hijab and one of the only places they could adjust or take off their scarves completely or change was the girls bathrooms. Anyone who argues for unisex bathrooms and getting rid of female bathrooms always comes at it from such a male perspective and nothing makes it more obvious to me than when I think about the hijabi girls I grew up with. To me, that's an obvious "what about them". To people who literally only want to force males into female spaces with no care at all about our safety, this idea never comes up.

Theret
This is a place that was originally in a personal project of mine that I abandoned, but that I decided to bring back to life by putting it into star wars! I don't have the strenght to draw it, so for now I'll just use images to illustrate hoe this planet looks. Enjoy!
Theret is the birth place of Baheera Lee (OC), this is a planet located in the Mid Rim Territories, and is part of the Chommel sector. It's also part of the Republic, and is represented in the Senate by Senator and Princess, Madiha Akel.
It's an incredibly brightly colored planet, whose mountains, grass lands and beaches are composed by a multitude of natural colours.
Because of this biome, the human population of the planet also enjoys to surround themselves of these colors in their clothing and cities.
The cities and villages are, in fact, made of the same rocks as the mountains, and the glass of the windows are made from the colored sand, creating stunning rainbow cities that can effortlessly blend themselves with the landscape.
The people here also wear clothing and veils dyed with the natural colours of the planet, and their Tanneries are the most famous and proficient of the whole Sector.
In fact the most expensives gowns are often dyed here, like the clothing of various senators, politicians, rich merchants and even some of the gowns of the various Queens of Naboo.
Their homes are full of art of any form. From the stained glass of the windows, to the colored bricks of the walls, from the rainbow baskets to the painted vases, from the intricate embroidery of the veils to the jewelry that decorate their hands, necks and heads.
It's a planet full of joy and life, whose people are considered to be some of the happiest of the galaxy.
The planet suffered an huge attack during the Clone Wars, but the people managed to fight back and have a series of victories even before the Republic could intervene to help them.
A Battalion was then stationed there for the remain of the war, and they collaborated with the already existing, but small, military of the planet, to protect the population from the various attacks the CIS made even after their defeat.
The majority of the clones of the Battalion, by being in such close contact with the people of Theret, started to adopt their colorful lifestyle, by painting their armors in far more colors than any other clones in the whole GAR, which also had the advantage of helping them camouflage themselves on the battlefield.

France is banning the abaya, which is a loose-fitting dress worn by Muslim women (among other groups of women), in public schools. They claim the dress is an affront to French secularism even though it's not even a religious garment – it's a cultural garment that resembles pretty much any loose-fitting modest dress.
I can't possibly spell out for you how discriminatory and backward this is for a "modern, democratic" nation like France. Muslim women deserve more humane treatment and respect than this – being forced to undress more than they're comfortable with.

regarding my post abt ppl using judaism to feel more oppressed/racialized (n opt out of whiteness/privilege) (n this is v much a general jewish thing, far from exclusive to a specific brand of converts) is how progressive/reform jews will pick n choose jewish traditions they like/follow (which is fine by itself) but "coincidentally" pick anything and everything that will make them seem more "visibly" jewish, and more than that, more racialized. its so so telling how a lot of progressive/reform jews (n its v much a white thing but i dont think its exclusive to white ppl) will choose to cover their hair in an obvious attempt to mimic hijabis, bc theyre more racialized. (annoying "neopagans" n xtians do it too but theyre not what the post is abt so). when married women do it its one thing n like wearing headscarves for fun is another thing as well, i used to do it too, but dont kid urself n us by pretending its some ~deep spiritual connection to judaism~. ur neither a woman nor married, why r u covering ur hair.

I hate hate modesty culture I hate when girls are told to cover up for men, I hate if you wear anything remotely covering it's seen as modest wear even tho no matter what men wear it isn't seen as modest wear. Honestly we should just ditch the word modesty all together

Can’t believe I have to say this but if you wanna make a female aphmau character Muslim and make her wear a hijab/abaya please do it properly, don’t be like other artists who make a character wear a hijab then make them show off their bodies and make them wear immodest clothing. It’s extremely offensive to Muslims and the religion itself, also offensive to Arabs and Middle Easterners. What’s the point of wearing a hijab if you’re not being modest? THINK SMARTY THINK!
You can’t draw her with a hijab then with her in a crop top and showing off her legs fuckass
(Also kinda unrelated but we need more Middle Eastern representation over here give me Syrian, Turkish, Saudi, Kurdish, Iraqi, etc.. characters)

“Let women wear what they want.”
Yeah until it’s something you don’t like. Until it shows just a little too much skin or not enough of it. Modest or not. Colorful or not. Short or not. None of it matters.
If you truly believe in women expressing themselves and having the right to where whatever they want, you have to realize that it also includes wearing things you don’t agree with.

I have a genuine question about Farah and her faith. I see a lot of people say she is Muslim but we often see her without a hijab and with her hair out. I don’t know how it works so if that’s normal please let me know I just want to make sure I get all the right information if I were to ever write something about her
