Inside of you are two kintypes
Evanescence: These wounds won’t seem to heal, this pain is just too real, There’s just too much that time cannot erase
12 year old me:
Every day that passes our life gets worse in Gaza there are more than 2 million people we need large quantities of food but with the crossings closed it is impossible every day food is getting scarcer and its price is increasing dramatically there is no water or even electricity to operate the water wells our life is tragic in addition to all of this the sounds of explosions and cannons and planes that never stop they never stop when we ask you to donate you are our only hope with this money we can eat some of the available food or even some clean water to drink there is no sanitation or health services diseases are everywhere insects too everything is difficult so difficult that you cannot imagine what we are going through without experiencing it it is more difficult than what you see on TV our life is tragic so I ask you to donate to us any amount you can afford my family and I need something to help
how do you look at this and not see the obvious resentment of bi women?
these are all about misogyny toward LGBT women, yet it specifies every subset of LGBT women other than bi women (except by way of being bi trans women)
(especially if you were around for the years which lesbians on this site spent indignantly sputtering about any bi woman who called herself a Dyke for “appropriating Lesbian-Only terms”, how are you not wary of these sentiments by now?)
the implied unity between cis/TME lesbians and trans women is also really funny. do you know how much of the time cis/transmisogyny-exempt lesbians specifically pull all of this shit on trans women? including whinging about trans women being “Lesbiphobic” and Unfairly Targeting Lesbians when we talk about transmisogyny?
“being used as examples, tokens or ammunition for other people's arguments”—yeah, you mean like when cis lesbians dismiss any criticism of transmisogyny by invoking the existence trans lesbians? even when the criticism comes from trans lesbians ourselves?
how do you not recognize that this is both biphobic and also brushes off the transmisogyny among cis wlw
lets out a single agonized bloodcurdling scream but doesnt elaborate on why and just walks it off
does anyone wanna do some gay bullshit to me
“there are femboys who are cis men” there are femboys who say they are cis men girl 😭 don’t be dense you know the difference. did you have male privilege when you were trapped in the closet? or is there some magic soul difference between you and all the “cis men” who haven’t come out as trans yet? be for real. stop appealing to magic soul gender. gender analysis has to be material: crossdressers are TMA. crossdressers crossdress for “sex” or for “performance” or for “fetish” or a million different other reasons because it is socially unacceptable to express it in their public lives, even partially, even if they don’t come out as trans women. do you think Eddie Izzard was immune to transmisogyny before a few years ago? Do you think that didn’t affect job opportunities etc?
whether you want to classify these people as victims or perpetrators (or somewhere in between) the fact is that there is a very real social and legal incentive for sissies and crossdressers and femboys and drag queens to draw a line and say "i am still a cis man, i am not one of those trans women" in not so many words. And they benefit from that and sell it and tme people celebrate it in a way they do not when that line is crossed.
this isn't some "magic soul difference" or whatever bad faith argument you're assuming of me; this is just the clear and simple statement that people view and treat feminine AMAB people differently once they say "i am not a man", once we demand to be respected as women.
Oh look, just as fast and dirty as any other April 1st gag bit. Matt, Staff, Automattic, etc, FIX YOUR HEARTS. And do some work on the real problem on here.
PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ!!
Mona (@mohammedshehabtt) has reached out to me to share new info with you all. She needs to buy two tents for herself and her mother and father. The cost of the two tents is $3,000. It’s now winter in Gaza and the conditions are horrible. Mona, her husband, her parents, and her two young daughters have no shelter to keep out of the cold and rain. These tents are essential to their survival. Please donate if you can, no amount is too small. So far, they have only raised 2k out of their 30k goal. We can help them reach their short term goal of $3,000 with your help. Please, please consider donating. Even a few bucks will help get them closer to their goal. Sharing this post is also incredibly helpful.
Thank you ❤️

Not telling your kid they have a learning disability, chronic illness, mental illness etc. so they can “feel normal” actually does the opposite. They will not feel normal if they do not have the context to understand that their normal will be different from that of their peers.
