My sexuality is not fluid

I find it so insidious how people see the obvious correlation between autism and gender non conformity and say it’s because autists are somehow biologically more transgender on average rather than realizing that gender as a whole is a oppressive construct that punishes those who aren’t good at fitting into social norms

People who tell women they're classist for feeling unsafe around homeless men don't care about homeless women. As a woman who has been on and off homeless my whole life I see more care and resources be afforded men. The reason you don't see as many homeless women is because we are often hiding because of how dangerous it is for us. Not because there's less of us or that we somehow have it easier than men. Housed men offer us shelter in order to rape us and homeless men just rape us.

i keep fighting this feeling that as long as i’m single i don’t really have anything of value to say about being a lesbian, because what would i know about loving women? but i really think this solitude, being single for years and being forced to develop self sufficiency, becoming an island because no one else is like you, are all defining parts of the lesbian experience that have nothing to do with romantic relationships. like, my only relationship was in college and i know a lot of bi women whose only romantic experience with a woman was in college; now, though, they’re all married to men and preparing for children, while i’m…. still by myself, preparing for a future in which i’m potentially always alone. the loneliness feels just as central to the lesbian experience as being with a woman. a lot of being a lesbian is about feeling like you were dropped on an alien planet with flaws and inconsistencies that are only visible to you. and i don’t need to be in a relationship for the way i experience the world to be worth talking about.

Happy international women’s day anything that can be destroyed by women’s liberation should be destroyed by women’s liberation xoxo

Utopian techno-futurist concept: a tofu container which has a peel-away lid which is not bonded more strongly to the container than to itself, and as such can simply be peeled away rather than being iteratively torn into shreds or cut with a knife.

The cliché that when women are liberated men will be liberated too shamelessly slides over the raw reality of male domination — as if this were an arrangement in fact arranged by nobody, which suits nobody, which works to nobody’s advantage. In fact, the very opposite is true. The domination of men over women is to the advantage of men; the liberation of women will be at the expense of male privilege. Perhaps afterwards, in some happy sense, men will be liberated too — liberated from the tiresome obligation to be ‘masculine.’ But allowing oppressors to lay down their psychological burdens is quite another, secondary sense of liberation. The first priority is to liberate the oppressed.  Never before in history have the claims of oppressed and oppressors turned out to be, on inspection, quite harmonious. It will not be true this time either. - Susan Sontag
