Whenever this is brought up, people will go: "Oh, but parents will decide what is best for the child." And here is the thing: No, they are not. There is so much stuff out there showing that indeed, a lot of parents suck at this. Some out of malice, some because they are religious nuts, and some because they literally treat their kids like some sort of doll or some shit.

(even more positivity from us found in our reblogs on this post <3)

does that mean you can't still find them attractive? of course not. you can find any part of the body attractive. there are people who find "male" chests that are functionally just non-developed breasts attractive, but we understand that to not be a latent sexual aspect of the body.

i don't think im an adult or that im grown i just think you should be nice to me. but that makes us disrespectful.

there's 2 age ranges, adult and political

"none of this matters you're just a stupid kid with nothing better to do" my life. my life does not matter? abuse does not matter? bigotry does not matter? what i say and do and feel do not matter? i do not matter until i am 18. and even then i won't matter because i am still black and autistic and nonbinary and other shit so what do i know. we're too stupid to want or deserve rights

Sister, keep that to yourself or make your own goddamn post, you are ignoring that woman’s central concern and belittling her, you don’t even think you’re doing it. Formerly childfree women who ended up having children and loving it are like detransitioners in the sense that there is nothing inherently wrong with changing your mind about having children or realizing you were mistaken about your gender identity but immediately weaponizing your indecision to tell people that the barriers to healthcare and the violations of their bodily autonomy and the way society ignores that person’s wishes is actually okay because you were wrong. Some people do know themselves.

Hey, I’m a trans man making this post. I have faced some of this bullshit but I’m well aware that cisgender women are the primary targets of this because motherhood is so forcibly intertwined with female identity in misogynistic stereotypes to the point that women who cannot get pregnant or have no desire to get pregnant and have children are seen as somehow defective and childfree women are often demonized. As a trans man, it is often weaponized against us too, “Do not transition because what if you regret it and your husband leaves you because you cannot get pregnant and then you can’t breastfeed because you mutilated your breast which are obviously the most important part of you.” but that is because these people are transphobic and do not view us as men. We suffer under this too but post transition trans men are often ridiculed for having children instead of not having children, transphobes view it as some sort of gotcha because the ability to reproduce is so (arbitrarily) forcibly associated with womanhood. I try to alternate between gender neutral language and language that speaks about women in discussions about reproductive freedom because so much of the extreme hatred in these discussions is plainly caused by a hatred of women in particular and a belief that a woman’s worth is tied into her reproductive ability and I do believe that a cis woman’s relationship to reproduction is very different than a trans man’s relationship from reproduction, not that we are not victims of oppression but that the societal messaging is aimed directly and primarily at all that society deems to be women.

Hello i'm a normal person here's some stuff i drew to illustrate different traits different "person getting controlled" tropes can have

In any case, people are probably not looking for signs of plurality when talking to you- they're more focused on the conversation. The odds of them noticing something different in the first place and bringing it up are low. They have other things to talk about.

Does this ever happen to anyone else

Bloodymary again.
