This is so important
No, JK Rowling is not just saying "biological sex is real".
She is using debunked pseudoscience to attempt to invalidate the existence and rights of a vulnerable, marginalized group of living, breathing human beings.
She's disgusting. And she knows it, too. If you have the self-awareness to say "People like me are often called TERFs.”, you know you’re shitty. You just don't care.
I don't care how big a fan I was. I cannot in good conscience continue to support her.
I'm done, for good.
Disability body positivity
Am I the only one who gets a little annoyed with the body positivity phrases ‘You are not your body’? Like yes I am my body. My body dictates everything I do and everywhere I go and how I experience life. Its ok that I have these problems and I’ll love my body anyway but I want people to stop telling me that I can love myself in spite of my body. I am my disabilities they define me but its ok to love and celebrate my disabilities. I know this is something abled people probably don’t think about too much but it feels patronizing.
What about my right to participate my future significant others health and life is ‘Novel’ what this man takes as a privledge he sees as a right for himself and if this isn’t some crazy hypocritical bull shit I don’t know what is. They’re really coming for our rights just because they hate us. They don’t care about freedom of religion they just hate us. People’s opinions on my marriage shouldn’t be more important than my marriag. What are they going to do? Invalidate marriage certificates in states that don’t choose to keep same sex marriage legal? This is beyond insane
My class is doing the play of the aform book. The main character has Autism so I’m concerned about the casting because how can you get accurate rep if you have neurotypicals playing characters who arent. So to all the people who can have valid opinions on this. Is it ableist for them to be playing this show?
(I can’t make my text big anymore and I’m sad)
Ok heres the actual rant. I decided like an absolute idiot yesterday that I felt really good for the first time in a long time and that I wouldn’t use my walking aids. So I put on cute skinny jeans ,which are a big no during flare ups for me, I put on my cute Alice in Wonderland tank and shave for the first time in months and feel hella cute. Fix my hair looking all androgenous and made my non-binary/genderfluid Lesbian heart so happy . I go to my contacts fitting cuz I’m low vision blind as well and its the first time I’ve ever gone in without my aids there and people just seemed to treat me nicer tbh. Then I went home and held my snake and watched TV and it was going great. Now cut to this morning and I woke up in agony and can’t put pressure on my left leg or my left arm and I hate it here.

This is so cute
Sokka is the first to notice Zuko's loss of vision on the left
He approached him once in classic Sokka fashion, loud and annoying and with complete lack of respect for personal space
Zuko tried not to flinch too obviously but Sokka noticed anyway, ofc
Since then he always comes from the right
When he has to be at his left, he announces himself even more loudly than usual
No one else noticed much difference, but Zuko does
He's been waiting for the other shoe to drop ever since Sokka found about about his eye
He's expecting threats or weakness being taken an advantage of or other such plans as would be expected by the strategist of the team
He has no idea what to do with polite accommodation and normalcy
This continues while they're still not quite trusting each other, still figuring stuff out
Sokka remains respectful and knows it makes Zuko nervous to have anyone he doesn't trust on his left
This little fact is what changes everything at the Boiling Rock
At the temple, there isn't constant threat to Zuko. Sokka then can afford to be careful of the guy's boundaries, and he's not necessarily the closest to him either
But at the prison suddenly they're surrounded by hostile people everywhere
Sokka sticks to Zuko's left whenever they're together
Zuko notices, and by now he's at least realised that normal people trying to be his friends wouldn't use a weakness against him
He stopped expecting Sokka to turn on him a while ago, but here he notices what the strategist of the group actually does with knowing his team's weaknesses
He protects them, maybe even subconsciously
Sokka knows Zuko needs the reassurance, and he's always there, at his left
When they fight together, they fit into a rhythm unthinkingly, and from then on Sokka is always at his left
Zuko doesn't quite know what it's like to feel safe, but when Sokka is next to him, guarding his greatest insecurity, he thinks maybe he's learning
Sokka sits at his left in meetings with war hungry generals
Sokka still announces himself when coming to him from the left
When they start dating, it gets worse (better)
Sokka always has a hand or arm on or around him, and he's always on the left
Zuko thinks maybe he'll forget what it felt like for his left side to not feel safe
Now it's entirely just Sokka's space
im so mad I don’t know where to begin with her crusade against trans girls and women. To portray some of the most marginalized people as predators when many of them worshiped her and became writers because of her. My friend he became a writer and she turned on him saying trans men are just abused women trying to escape womanhood. She really is projecting the image that trans women are just men in women’s clothing trying to prey on women that she wrote a whole book with a cross dressing serial killer to project these beliefs. I am so TIRED of having to fight so pe give me basic respect and now she’s attacking innocent peopl while doctors and pediatricians beg her to stop spreading this hate that is hurting the children they care for. She’s hurting the children she claims this little crusade of hers is to protec. She puts up that shirt saying ’This witch won’t burn‘ while going on a witch hunt against trans women herself. I’m so disgusted by her actions and how they’re impacting peopl I know and care for.
