Kate 🦋🌊 nobody is saying that it's problematic to befriend them, people are saying it's ridiculous to act like cis women are somehow safer for trans ppl to trust. they aren't inherently safe ppl.
Women’s pain is valid. Don’t ever let anyone dismiss it or tell you to just deal with it because they think you should be able to just stick it out “naturally.”
Fuck natural.
Tbh I hate when people bring in the angle of rape as an argument for why abortion should be “allowed”
Women shouldn’t have to experience traumatic events for them to abort.
Abortion should be legal because women should be in control of their reproductive rights. Period.
Biology is NOT binary!
ANYONE who tells you it is, is lying.
So ask yourself this.... Why are they lying?
It's called gaslighting.
They want you to believe something blindly, and will behave in a way to convince you.
Sharron is lying.
& ofc they always employ ableism, sanism, transphobia, avoidant to the fact "healthy" participation in cîscentric spheres is proof of class assignment, not "good choices"
my side will always be that of the made sick, made disabled, made trans, I bombed the clinic in my head
i dont think the og tt user had anything interesting to say but what i didnt like seeing in the comments and qrts was the radfem idea that sexism trumps all other discriminations. it's historically been justification for racism and has left out black women x.com/magicspeedwago…
