Don't donate to World Central Kitchen because even after their members were murdered by Israel, the founder Jose Andreas still collaborated with Israel and recently they served displaced Israeli settlers bombed by Iran and Hezbollah
Donate to these kitchens instead

okay. i'm just gonna say it. i feel like it needs to be said. everyone has been too quiet on this for too long. the fact that we all act like it's okay that every century gets called one century above what the years make it feel like it should be is NOT OKAY. we can't keep pretending it isn't confusing to hear "18th century" and go "oh yeah, the 1800s - oh wait nooo 1700s." we need to stop letting this happen. we can change history. language is malleable. i'm taking a stance.
if you do not have a library card, you should go get one at the earliest opportunity.

AS SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN A LONGTIME FAN I AM HONOURED??? SCREAMING
I am sooooo tired of seeing "actually this post is about women not trans men" slapped on to feminist posts and then when that is questioned or challenged, the response is "this is for women specifically because of the societal expectations placed on them."
I'm going to hold your hand as I say this to you. Those same expectations are placed on trans men. Trans men are also expected to be mothers and wives. Trans men also face misogyny and are harmed by it, in the same ways cisgender women are.
It reads like a lot of people think of trans men as Cis Dudes With Pussies when the vast majority of trans men are living (or have lived) many of the same experiences as cis women, and should be included in these conversations.
For example, if the conversation is about how young girls are brought up to believe the must be wives and mothers β many (most, even) trans men grew up with those same expectations! It is equally liberating for young trans men to realize they don't have to be mothers and wives as it is for cis women, with the only difference potentially being an additional gender affirming layer.
I think it's funny how they try to be "inclusive" by excluding trans men from a conversation that actively affects them. Trans men, assuming they haven't transitioned medically, still have a female body and are treated as such by MANY people, and regardless of medical transition, GREW UP in that body.
I think in OPs post, describing the general view of trans men as "Cis Dudes with Pussies" is actually quite generous. Maybe I am just pessimistic, but at least where I live, trans men are considered as "hysterical women." This also applies to other trans groups but in reference to what their sex was at birth. Trans men are absolutely affected by feminist issues, on the very principle that most misogynists are also transphobic and don't see trans men as men. Not only are trans men denied their identity as a man, but they are then also denied from female spaces.
When the law (and the average person) determines you to be female, you are 100% affected by sexist legislations, worldviews, attitudes, and expectations.
Trans men don't get a "pass" from misogyny just because they identify as male. Unfortunately, they are affected by it too, and they need to be involved in these conversations that concern them too.
you have to understand that my body does not work by default. βohhh so many medications means so many chemicals inside you. i could neverβ well if i did not take these things i would not be able to function. i respect and have made peace with the chemical. Get out of my face

My condition is extremely serious. Stop playing games, stop watching movies, stop watching football matches, stop listening to music... Leave them alone, even for just one minute. Sit with yourselves for a minute and think carefully: Do I deserve to faint every day? Do I deserve to be in pain all the time? Do I deserve to diαΊΉ? If the answer is no, then do something for us. PIαΊΉase dα»nΔ te, share, or do anything to hαΊΉIp me bα»₯y my medication urgαΊΉntly or to make us feel that you are with us and that you will not leave us alone in the face of this genocide.
Please take a moment to consider my friend

Like this isn't an exaggeration. You should be able to rent alone, buy groceries, have disposable income, and still save for a vacation or whatever tf. I cannot emphasize enough how little people are being paid
Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.
