i’d also like to add that if your friend (or anyone) goes by he/they, she/they ,she/he, he/she/they..ect ..switch between all of them frequently don’t just use she/he don’t just use they/them. even in the same sentence switch it up !!!

*grabs your hands and speaks to you in a tone that is so gentle* they/them pronouns stop being universal once you learn a person's pronouns. Sometimes that person's pronouns will include they/them and in that specific case you are allowed to keep using those pronouns for that person. In any case where you learn a persons pronouns and that person doesn't use they/them, you should no longer use those pronouns for that person. If you continue to use they/them pronouns knowing that person doesn't use them, you are now misgendering that person. Kindly stop doing that please. Thank you, I love you.

"Nearly four years after he left office amid a violent burst, Donald Trump has been reelected and will become the next president of the United States. For many marginalized people, a second Trump administration, which begins in January, is a looming threat. During Trump's first stint in office, we watched as he rolled back LGBTQ+ protections, put Supreme Court justices in place who removed the federal right to abortion (which has resulted in deaths), enacted a “Muslim ban” that resulted in Islamophobic violence, and much more.

During Trump's campaign for a second term, he promised similarly draconian measures. He plans to deport millions of people starting on his first day in office, end gender-affirming care for trans youth, deeply change federal oversight agencies like the FDA, and much more.

With the past and his promises for the future in mind, people are preparing for Trump's second term, attempting to guard themselves against a potential erosion of rights. Here's what people are doing, and steps you might consider taking if it feels helpful."

Eventual to air episode. The Gatekeeper.

Or a Trans Kid saves a game by being herself. A angry and heavily distraught kid. Who leans on her supporters.

"I'm a feminist, I support women! Except trans women, and sex workers, and women of color, and muslin women, and queer women, and women that watch porn and have kinks, and lesbians that date trans women, and intersex women, and women that were SA'd by other women, and basically all women that disagree with me and aren't perisex cishet white middle class." — average radfem

Genuinely, what happened to “feminism is for everyone”?

That’s the feminism I grew up with: encouraging people to recognize that fighting sexism and restrictive gender roles helps folks of every gender. We’d push back on the idea that feminists hate men, pointing to inclusive feminist literature and how many men are feminists.

Now, there are so many people insisting that the solution to patriarchy is to openly hate and ostracize men no matter what. Why? What is the benefit? It’s certainly not effective in fighting oppressive structures to exclude half the population from your cause on the basis of immutable traits. It may feel cathartic to say horrible things about men and try to punish them for your frustrations with patriarchy. But the only actual effect I see is the increasing right-wing radicalization of young men, who are being told that the left hates them for the way they were born and presented with an abundance of proof that it’s true.

Why are we going back to treating men and women as different species? It doesn’t fix things to say “well women are the good gender and men are the bad one” this time. If you sincerely want to dismantle sexism, you’re going to have to unpack and let go of all sex and gender essentialism—even that which considers women inherently pure and men inherently immoral.

Hey Disney? Fuck off.

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down

I don't know who she is...but I really like her. I'd take her to guitar rehearsals and the bar after. She'd be perfect for me! As a full time.

My favorite part of The gatekeeper is the part where Brooklyn got to be a hero. period. A superhero. Luna didn't need to take out her supergirl costume. Brooklyn didn't wear a cape, a mask, a suit, just her heart and her identity since she is being daring against all the hate and discrimination against her.

She stands up, again, and again. and again, fighting for her way in, trying to make sure that she doesn't feel like a burden to everyone supporting her, getting disheveled, bruised, exhausted, and tired along the way, and then she crashes, after a fail, after rules used against her, crying.

but, she isn't a burden, they support her, and they decide to break the rules to do it together.

If she hadn't smacked her fists on the floor in a moment of anquish, lashing out, being upset, being human; they would have missed the game. She saved the game by being a frustrated and sad trans kid. By simply existing.

And they followed her lead.

And they saved her at the end of the day, too.

It's touching.

Very touching.

I am probably extrapolating something wildly different here because it really did look like they were giving off 'trans kids are superheroes facing literal supervillians' and 'so are the people who support them' due to the montage scenes where they're getting the keys since it was similar to Luna being a hero.
