let’s talk about how they made it impossible to function without a phone and digitalised everything and then turned around and went “actually! these phone things aren’t safe for kids but it’s magically ok once you’re eighteen. guess you’ll have to have your life dictated by your parents now lol cause we’re gonna take the devices away from you. IT’S FOR YOUR OWN GOOD WHY ARE YOU COMPLAINING”

ok my apologies. take away my ability to buy anything too ig because these fuckass stores don’t accept cash anymore. take away my ability to communicate with people outside my house and school because I can’t text and I can’t email and I cant drive to them either and I can’t even fucking get public transport without a phone either. can’t order at a fucking restaurant without being asked to get a membership and install an app and also very sorry but you can only order through our online menu now! have you ever considered that it’s not just about instagram?

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs

its incredible that you can make a point of saying that keeping tons of information on someone (usually a transfem by the way) you have deemed to be one of The Bad Ones makes you more of a danger than that person has ever been and some fuckhead can still show up like "okay but what about THIS one though this one is fine right?" like. between that and the other shit im starting to get this feeling people really hate it when transfems exist or something but if i point this out and call it what it is which is transmisogyny? thats justification for having lots of information kept and being stalked for being one of The Bad Ones, being told "no you actually dont have it worse than anyone" or some other shit proving the point completely and yet nobody looks and sees that as an issue, almost like people REALLY fucking hate it when transfems exist or something, it just keeps feeding into itself and naturally thats the point, ridicule and hunt and kill until everyone the tmes disagree with is silenced forever, because they'd rather exterminate us all than ever challenge a single fucking thought they have

'it can be sooo stressful owning people as property. it makes sense you'd lash out every so often, i mean heck, thats why i don't wanna own any, i couldn't handle how stressful and difficult it is to have to deal with them every day. plus, I just hate the demographic of people that you're legally allowed to own, they're annoying to be around and unclean. i avoid them in public because of that, I'm glad there are so many places they're banned from' and other things you can say about children without anyone batting an eye

That's crazy everyone apparently if the cultural shame around being braless completely disappeared overnight the way people wear bras wouldnt change whatsoever since everyone has been wearing it for its Practical Usage %99 of the time all along with no cultural baggage attached to it. They were only Practical all along like wheels. Nothing cultural attached to them. Bras were the first thing to appear in the universe after hydrogen

the "empathy fatigue" stuff is also very revealing because when you examine health professionals' self-reporting on the matter there is a specific type of person they describe losing empathy for- unsurprisingly, it's people with particularly chronic health issues and disability, drug users, people who "refuse to take care of themselves" and especially anyone with a health condition perceived to be "their own fault". very often what they describe as "empathy fatigue" is actually just the mask slipping on the seething contempt they already held

i do just worry that after the collapse of the american empire many former american citizens will have trouble reintegrating into society because they are simply just too racist

a bra and a hijab are the same thing in many ways

Hijab is not much different from many different hair coverings which used to be extremely common throughout the world. All of those had their own religious connections with them. Hair coverings were often a tool of both religion and "modesty", the loaded gendered concept. Nowadays it's most commonly associated with Islam therefore it strikes out as Abnormal. A bra too serves the same purpose, yet its considered the "acceptable" tool of Modesty with no loaded baggage whatsoever while Hijab is the "backwards" tool of modesty with Evil Baggage. The same concept, when it's Muslim racialized, is Backwards and Violent, yet the violence of the bra, because it is accepted among White people too, is acceptable and invisible

Can you imagine if tomorrow wearing a bra was seen as completely backwards, but nothing else changed socially for women, yet the new policy was to force women to take their bras off in public? What, that sounds like the wrong way to go about it to you because it would be humiliating and misogynistic? Now lets apply that humanity to other people's cultures

Because head coverings are frequently racialized and discriminated against, within the context of its discrimination it isn't harmful to point out its practical uses. But people. Wearing a bra is not globally discriminated and racialized. You do not have to white knight the bra. That isn't the what you're supposed to understand from this post
