#controlling women's freedom

[lesbiangummybearmafia]

This the truth behind all the rolling back of access to abortions and all laws against abortions intensifying. Also Republicans and conservatives fight to now to ban the pill and other contraceptives, the morning after pill, plan B. It's about and will always be about controlling women!! It's important to remember this, not allow them to win.

My mother planned her life, got a few degrees, then a doctorate. She taught at a university and published a journal on chaos theory in nursing.

Women who can make decisions for their reproduction have power.

Conservative men want to remove that power.

To all Americans with a uterus: get an IUD before Trump is officially in office. Get your IUD replaced if it would run out during his term.

Protect yourself.

Women who may be considering sterilization after the election results, may I direct you to the r/childfree subreddit’s list of doctors who are supportive of this choice and will help you? It’s an amazing resource, organized by location/state.

I got sterilized earlier this year with a bilateral salpingectomy and I’m happy to share any info about the process (although I live in Canada so can’t tell you about American costs or insurance). It was a very quick, easy, safe surgery, and I’m deeply grateful every single day that I was able to make that choice for myself. Feel free to DM, send me an ask, or reblog if you want more info. Happy to help however I can.

i am soooooooo dreading thursday like it's one thing to not have started screaming at my parents the last few weeks but to be fully surrounded by it with them and my brother and sister-in-law and unfortunately NOT my sister and brother-in-law who are decent and reasonable human beings lol like i am all alone against insanity and like for the most part they don't say a lot of really stupid shit in front of me (anymore at least bc damn i cried during so many arguments over police brutality in 2014) so it's mostly just little things nowadays that make me roll my eyes but i imagine there will at least be like hushed political conversations and i'm honestly just like. i think i will sit through the meal and go off by myself and if my niece wants to come with me or something cool but otherwise i just. cannot spend an extended period of time around four people who voted against me and my friends without breaking down and it's still a very real possibility that it'll happen anyway bc i am going to look at my sweet lovely nieces and think how horrible this world is for them i mean my nephew too ofc but ya know. not AS horrible for boys as it is for girls and also there's a very real possibility he's already believing a lot of bullshit being his age, having republican parents, being deep into sports, being on tiktok like......all of those factors make me worried lol

^^^ Be careful how you word things in Alabama!

Be even more careful how you vote. The only way to protect reproductive freedom is to Vote Democratic.

Spending all your rent money at a casino is a better bet than voting for a third party. At least at the casino you have a remote chance of success.

Female Sterilization (Tubes Tied) Doctors List

This is something I've considered in the past because will not have children in this lifetime. Its not something I ever wanted but considering the world we live in now I could not live with myself knowing that im bringing children into this place for them to clean up the mess we have put ourselves into. No one deserves to be born into this mess. Its not fair to them so I've made an official decision to invest in my life and do tubal ligation i.e "tubes tied".

There are doctors who will do the surgery for you EVEN IF you have never had children, and if you are considering this option to protect yourself and your body here is a list of doctors who you can look up and see if they are in your network or near you.

Much love to you❤️ You do have control over your body regardless of what anyone say or tries to do.

YOU ARE THE MASTER OF YOUR OWN DESTINY!✊🏽 Dont let anyone tell you otherwise!!!❤️ Stay strong ladies.🌹

What's p/p?

Ah, I meant to say, pp, Psycho-Pass. I usually add slashes to avoid unprompted rambles to show up in main tags, sorry if that resulted confusing.

I love Psycho-Pass. I already made a post about why bsd fans might find it enjoyable, but honestly, there's so much more to it beyond what it has in common with bsd.

The prompts for reflection this series offers are just wonderful: on the relationship between citizens and government, on pervasive systems, on freedom of choice and free will, on safety vs. freedom, on discrimination of minorities and creation of scapegoats, on propaganda and brainwashing, on the increasing and treacherous presence of technology in everyday life, on how government uses technology to control and manipulate people, on fighting the system from the inside vs. fighting the system from the outside. I should watch it again too. It's crazy good.

Akane Tsunemori - the coprotagonist of the first season, the protagonist of the second season and overall the true core and heart of the franchise - is one of the most complex and beautiful characters I ever met. Her growth and character development is truly amazing: the way she starts off as unknowing and naïve, and grows so so much from there; how her writing finds this perfect balance between becoming more mature / hardening and staying true to her beliefs - even when everyone, the system, the people she relies to, the people she looks up to - tell her that there's no other way, that it can't be. It's breathtaking. She is a breathtaking character. The way alone that no matter how conscious and aware she becomes of how cruel the world is, how unredeemable people are, how beyond saving the system is, she still keeps believing in humans… It may sound cliché by itself, but believe me, it's wonderfully executed, and her character is truly amazing. Not to mention, the way she mirrors the coprotagonist Kougami is fabulous, but this is not really about him; she's an amazing character of her own right, and I will die on this hill.

The female cast in general is all amazing honestly. Don't get me wrong, the male characters are just as complex and multilayered (and I LOVE Gino and Kou, how couldn't I), but that's… Something we're more accustomed to, while finding well written female characters is objectively much harder. Female characters in Psycho-Pass aren't written as female characters, they're written as people, just as much as their male counterparts are. They have their fears and hopes and strengths and weaknesses just like any other character. I love Yayoi for being strong and coolheaded. I love (LOVE) Shion for being her fabulous self, kind and flirty and confident and with an heart so big, and for her subverting the trope of guy in the chair by being a glamorous woman who's also incredibly competent at her job of analyst. I love Akane's friends and I don't like season 3 but Mai is genuinely awesome and a joy every time she's on screen. I love Risa so much I could die, I love how strong and independent she is, I love the dilemmas she had to face, I love her choices and how they might have been the wrong ones and how it still haunts her, I love the tragedy of her character in general, I love the doomed friendship that used to be between her Gino and Kou. I love love love Fredrica, I love her being bossy and confident, diligent and determined. There's just a lot of… Strong and independent women in Psycho-Pass, and it's not just a way of saying, they really are.

I LOVE women loving other women, canonly, on screen. The confirmation may be delegated to a small moment in the last episode of the first season, but the fact that it's still there nonetheless, and how it confirms that all the previous moments and exchanges were indeed moments and didn't leave it to ambiguity… It's nice, to say that the first season of Psycho-Pass came out in 2012. And you might have to wait eight years, three seasons, five movies for it, but the phrase “I just want to go outside, dine somewhere nice, and go for walks with someone I love” may make it worth it.

And I LOVE how all the leader positions are filled by women. It's a little funny, honestly, in the best way– despite what I made it look like so far, the Psycho-Pass cast is still men-dominated (or at least a pretty equally split 50/50?); yet all the leader positions are always filled by women: Akane and Mika and Kasei and Frederica and Karina, it's always women.

Also, Mika is a brilliant character. Of course I love her. I'm so so sorry for how much hate and criticism she gets (over being a purposely annoying character! Insane! When Dazai exists!), when she does really and excellent job at conveying “look! A fucked up brainwashed individual in a fucked up brainwashing environment! I wonder how that could have happened!”. Not to mention that her growth, her long and devious way to admitting that the system is flawed, is truly well made, too. Unpopular opinion, characters with big flaws, characters who are unsufferable and make lives impossible to everyone around them, characters who mess up again and again, are actually great to watch.

Again, don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore Gino and Kou too ahah. They're both great!! But that you can probably see by your own. Gino in particular used to be my favourite, how his character does a total 180° turn. I love to see men admit their mistakes and make the choice to be better tomorrow.

About that, the relationships between the characters are AMAZING. Especially the main trio Akane / Kou / Gino, all the combinations within it are beautiful and deep and brilliant, so so enjoyable to explore and with their fair share of canon content, while still never straying to romantic territory (I mean, Akane/Kou may be going in that direction, but if that's true, that's the slowest slow burn I've ever witnessed in my life).

What's more. The world building / general premise - a dystopian world, where your predisposition to do crime can be measured and the government makes use of such technology to monitor and control the population and guarantee everyone's safety - is genuinely interesting and compelling. The aesthetic is genuinely cool (AH, now that I think about it, I've got my unfair bias for people in suits, and pp has a LOT of people in suits… ). The opening and endings feature great artists like Egoist, Ryo, Who-ya Extended and Cö shu Nie, so you're sure to love them!!

(Also, Psycho-Pass is something I used to spend entire nights talking about with a friend, and I'm always thinking about her and hold her tight to my heart in every moment so. That's worth mentioning for me, pfffttt. I love my friend so much.)

Finally, because the other Psycho-Pass post I made here keeps haunting me for the lack of trigger warnings, please be aware: Psycho-Pass DOES have trigger warnings. Pretty much for eveything you can think of. Sexual assault and gore and body horror on the top of my mind, but it's quite dark and gritty at parts in its entirety, so please please keep that in mind if you decide to pick it up.

Well, this is the end of my Psycho-Pass love letter for now. Please give it a chance if you can! I'll go rewatch it now. General watch order, in order of release, is season 1 → season 2 → movie → Sinners of the System movie trilogy → season 3 → First Inspector movie → Providence movie. I don't really like the third season or First Inspector movie (the characters are still great tho, even the newly introduced ones), and I've yet to watch Providence. The first season later came out with an extended edition of added scenes between episodes, and they're quite nice, so if you can't get ahold of it, you might want to look up for a compilation of the missing scenes still.

Despite Elenas whole roses & dresses style and the overwhelming amount of stuff in Celia n co thats inspired by revolutionary girl utena, ironically thats one of the few thing not inspired by rgu. Roses are just fucking cool and so is Elena<3 She was actually much more of a girl-prince, if a very jaded one, when she was a kid, and her leaving & dressing more feminine & covering up is freedom to her.
