It's also super levelled at fat women in particular. (Other than "lose weight" rhetoric, which fucking needs to die yesterday.)

Except.

Fat women (and fat men! But this is about women specifically) are forcibly degendered by others, to the point that I have heard many stories about fat women who can't even connect in any way to a feminine-based gender, even if they want to. Like, I can't tell how many times I've heard, "Oh, agender was the only thing that made sense to me, as a fat woman I was degendered so often I couldn't see myself as anything else."

It's my own experience. And I actually try really hard to wear clothing that is visibly feminine, insofar as I like the styles. (I'm not one for a lot of ruffles lol.) So to be told "Oh, just go shop in the men's section" like it's not still forcibly degendering me is just sending me right back to the same shit I've tried so hard to leave behind, because I am reclaiming my status.

Fat women don't owe anyone an "aesthetically correct" body to be gendered correctly. And we certainly deserve better than being correctly gendered but only in a way that's used to hurt us ("You throw like a girl!" and "I thought women were supposed to be dainty?!" come immediately to mind).

i hate when someone says "clothes marketed to women are less practical/don't have pockets/are too revealing in general" and everyone just tells them to buy clothes from the men's section bc like don't you think women deserve to have wearable clothing made for us. also some of us have body types that make shopping in the men's section impractical AND some of us may want to wear things with aesthetic attributes that you can't find in the men's section but still want to be comfortable and not have our clothes disintegrate after three washes

wait you guys actually think

Caitlyn is justified in trying to shoot Jinx in front of a child, and to aim and fire at Vi who has been trying to support her through her grief and even agreed to become the one thing she hated most despite the fact that she's been abused in prison for seven years, and also imposing martial law on an already impoverished, polluted, neglected, and brutalized region of people who just happened to be born a bridge across from her home...

I thought it was just a joke...

I believe Kamala- despite every word she has ever spoken on the matters- is actually deeply pro-Palestine, pro-trans & overall a progressive hero, because I understand that when democrats say repugnant reactionary things while campaigning they are actually lying! which is good & normal for so-called democratic elections!!!!! if you listen to the gnomes who live inside my walls you'll understand her real values, which she'll totally pinky promise act upon once you reward her lies & elect her! you dumb third party voters would understand this if u payed attention in civics class 💅💅💅

Every few years the tumblr queer community decides that we clearly don't have enough problems as is with real bigots, and they pick a sub-category of other queer people to convince us that "actually these are the True Oppressors, Guys, I Promise, they're too loud and privileged and stealing our rights as we speak!" while also mostly using recycled terf rhetoric but Woke This Time to support these accusations. At some point it was bi people (especially bi sapphics), then ace and aro people. Now it seems it's the turn of trans men & transmasc people in general.

And of course, if you as a member of the targeted demographic try to speak up, you're labelled as proof of the accusations. "See? They're loud and annoying and are oppressing us by not letting us target them, instead of shutting up and taking it like good little victims!".

And I, for one, I'm not having it.

as someone who works in the mental health field. the way some of you talk about mentally ill elderly people is absolutely atrocious and i’m going to need you to start seeing the elderly as human. that will be you one day and you’re going to wish younger folks had more compassion.

I'm so freaking tired of female beauty standards and the UTTER IDIOCY of people who have the audacity to leave comments under body positivity content that are along the lines of "omg this is disgusting, I could never... But you do you!" like it's a fucking compliment and not absolutely deranged. You're all fucking sick in the head, imposing artificial standards onto others with such viciousness, yet seemingly oblivious to the active harm you're doing.

Interestingly, I've seen the same thing happen in the barefoot shoes discourse, in regards to how natural feet look like. It's shocking how many people are there spamming vomit emojis and confidently saying they'd pick deformed feet over "disgusting" natural feet ????? After seeing that I have no words. If some people consciously deform their body parts because they deem the natural state this unbearably disgusting, there's no hope for accepting body hair. It's genuinely sickening.

do you see what I mean or do I have to make it even clearer

[leslieseveride]

i genuinely wish the worst upon EVERYONE who bullied anna cathcart for her crooked teeth (which i personally thought were so adorable!) and are now complaining about her veneers. you're all a bunch of fucking soulless vultures bullying her for her appearance during season 1 of xo, kitty, and for continuing to do so even after she had the procedure done. will nothing ever be enough for you people??
