See now I know you’re for sure scrolling through my blog lol.
I mostly think it’s fine to leave the conversation there because A. My information is very likely out of date and while I think anyone in a given industry (especially as a figurehead) is unlikely to talk shit about it because it puts their job security at risk, it’d be useful to hear the current concerns in the industry. And B. On the points that matter I don’t think we particularly disagree. I don’t think any industry should be treated as above scrutiny, especially from left-leaning people and groups. It’s gross seeing how supposed leftists reaction to fucking McDonald’s workers being overworked, underpayed and making a penny on the bosses billions their reaction is rage, they’re indignant and want to fight. But the same people when told about abuses in the sex industry respond with apathy. We should be working harder to stop all exploitation in society in every shape it takes in every industry.
A U.S.-born citizen was arrested in Florida on Wednesday and charged with illegally entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” Twenty-year-old Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez was detained for a day at the request of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, despite his mother producing his birth certificate and Social Security card at a court hearing.
Leon County Judge LaShawn Riggans inspected the birth certificate during a court hearing on Thursday, confirmed it was “an authentic document,” and said she found no probable cause for the charge, the Florida Phoenix reported. But a state prosecutor said that because ICE had asked the local jail to hold Lopez-Gomez, the court did not have the authority to grant his release.
See the funny thing is most people are chill with co-ed as an option. There are places where female people are too vulnerable for third spaces to be considered reasonable (Mostly related to shit like strip searching or prisons) but in 75 percent of cases single sex spaces are an alternative created because males couldn’t stop harassing people. Like most spaces for marginalized groups.
Really tired of people on this hellsite acting like being gay comes with political obligations
Homosexuality is apolitical. Sexuality doesn’t come with a set of beliefs or rules.
Gay people belong to a diverse array of beliefs, religions, and communities and yes that includes ones you disagree with or dislike.
Stop saying shit like “terfs can’t be lesbians” “so and so isn’t allowed to be a lesbian because of xyz” “he’s not actually gay because he is of a/b political group”
It makes it clear you think being gay is a choice and that it comes with a set of rules you need to follow to be ‘validated’.
Gay people are gay even if you don’t like them. Shut up.
i learned that researchers historically have avoided using female animals in medical studies specifically so they don’t have to account for influences from hormonal cycles. This may explain why women often don’t respond to available medications or treatments in the same way as men do (x)
White People
Flexin That
White Privilege
When people die, others tend to ignore all the bad they did and act like they're saints.
So I just wanted to say that the catholic church protects pedophiles
When you make a joke about how if men could get pregnant they’d sell abortion pills in vending machines only to get hit with “trans men exist”
Yes, I am aware that women who change their pronouns are still capable of getting pregnant. It comes with the female reproductive system. This is not revolutionary information, nor is it an example of males getting pregnant
Don’t walk yourself into getting your feelings hurt if you can’t handle that being pointed out
why can't i mock your religion lmao U literally think i'm going to hell
saw on r/detrans that NHS england is setting up a new service for detrans people! REALLY happy to see this.
People deserve the ability to give TRULY informed consent about their bodies and medical treatment! Allowing detrans people to come out of the shadows and share their experiences will help everyone with GD including those who choose to transition, because we'll have more data!
I remember years ago a dear friend of mine got on T and I scoured the internet looking for research to try find out how I could support him/what he could expect from side effects. The main thing I learned (especially from a zine survey created by transmasc people who were medically transitioning which I've linked here) is that the long-term impacts of being on HRT are WILDLY underresearched (especially for trans men).
I would argue that this fits into the larger underrepresentation of female bodies in medical studies (though I'm sure the authors would disagree with me)
"I question how useful informed consent models are when there is hardly any information to consent too" is certainly a sentiment many radfem and gc people on here can relate too. I genuinely respect people like this for doing the work for their communities and find it rlly fucked up that the medical establishment can make so much money off of them while working with data from sample sizes that were much snaller than this because they don't care enough to test it more.
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
