when one elevator goes down we let each other walk through each other's apartments to get to and from the other elevator. I'm a wheelchair user living on a high floor of a high rise. this type of mutual support is critical.

the same neighbor helped me get ready yesterday and then took me to an ER an hour away at 10pm and stayed past midnight. this is the second time he's come with me to the ER. if I'm still here tomorrow he'll feed my cats.

meanwhile, I cannot do similar things for my neighbors because of severe disabilities. but what I can do? is be more prepared than them. when our water cut out for a few days, I had enough bottled water stashed to share with neighbors who didn't have any. I try to think of anything like this I can do.

do you hear yourself when you threaten to violently torture and murder people (women, mainly feminists, let's be honest - those are often the people telling you "transfem periods" aren't a thing) in order to silence them about having a biological function they're violently oppressed for appropriated by the oppressor class? women and girls all over the world face horrors beyond your privileged imagination because the bleeding is seen as unclean.

women and girls who don't menstruate, such as my adoptive mother who was born without a uterus, don't pretend to have periods. so why do you? why is it that women and girls like my mother are able to comprehend that no uterus = no period, and able to recognize that those who DO have a uterus often face acts of violent oppression over the shedding of its lining, but you do not share that understanding? why is it only "transfems" who need to make this about themselves and silence women who object to the absurd audacity of appropriating sex-based oppression? if you are indeed a woman with no uterus, like my mother, where does this entitlement and violence come from?

you post depraved, graphically violent threats - the sort that have never crossed my mind even at my most furious - designed to silence an oppressed group (female human beings) about an aspect of their oppression, and then wonder why feminists are increasingly butting heads with your ideology? you can't show a modicum of understanding of the issues we face, but we are expected to cater to your feelings at every turn. and this is different from traditional sexism how?
