Obsessed with missions powered by guilt

No one, *ever*, tried to persuade me to transition.

I have been asked by my sister to help her good friends place Aeris, who is a 16-month-old, 50-pound Lab mix, and a very sweet girl. She is in Columbia, Missouri.

Before anything else, I need to be completely honest about why she is being rehomed.

During play, Aeris accidentally caused a fatal injury to the couple's younger puppy. This was a tragic accident between a larger, energetic adolescent dog and a much smaller puppy. Aeris has never shown any aggression towards any dog, and never showed aggression towards the puppy. They got along. However, the outcome cannot be ignored, and because of that, the shelter that originally adopted her out, and the local SPCA, have declined her. She will have to be rehomed privately.

Please understand that the decision to rehome has been heartbreaking for everyone involved. This choice is being made out of concern for Aeris above anything else, and for the people caring for her, who are deeply grieving. We are trying to find her a responsible placement and give her the best outcome possible.

About Aeris:

• 16 months old

• Approximately 50 pounds

• Lab mix

• Crate trained

• Loves car rides

• Extremely affectionate and attention-seeking

• Thinks she's a lap dog

• Equal parts energetic runner and couch companion

• Enjoys other dogs and has done well at dog parks

• Can be anxious and thrives with regular interaction and attention

• Still has some puppy manners and will jump up on people and lick faces

• Only partially leash trained and can be nervous on walks

Aeris enjoga strong, physical play. She is rough on toys and can be unaware of her own size and strength. Because of that, she should not be placed in homes with cats, small animals, or very young/small dogs.

She would likely do best with experienced people who understand large, energetic young dogs and can provide training, exercise, and plenty of attention. The owners are also willing to place her as a farm dog.

Aeris will come with her crate and supplies.

She is currently located in Columbia, MO., and can also be made available for pickup in Tulsa, OK.

If you believe you may be the right fit for Aeris, or know someone who might be, please reach out to me via message here, tell me a bit about yourself, and I can put you in contact. More than anything, she needs a safe place and a second chance.

I think we can find that for her.

I have been trying to avoid this discourse SO MUCH but it's literally unavoidable if you are openly intersex and/or have any form of (real or perceived) masculine gender or presentation on this website, and I have been getting a steady stream of transphobic, misogynistic, intersexist, transmisogynistic, and transandrophobic bullshit from total strangers in my inbox for MONTHS now, and I'm FUCKING TIRED OF IT, so here we go!

Your radical feminism isn't good just because you (wrongly) believe it can benefit trans women and other transfems to throw masculine trans people and intersex people under the bus for the sake of it. None of you actually understand transfeminism or intersectionality, you're transphobic gender essentialists with a new target

Your exclusionary rhetoric is not "good this time for real it's reasonable this time I swear," and if you think it's transmisogynistic for intersex and transmasculine people to have their own words to describe the unique ways their gender and presentation impact the oppression they face, you're a reactionary shit-head who is not safe for ANYONE who isn't a right-wing pericis man to be around. You are NOT helping transfems and are actively making the world MORE DANGEROUS for them, especially those who are closeted, or butch, or don't "pass," or are non-white, or GNC, or intersex

You are not helping trans women or any other transfem by "including them" in your radical feminism. Your "kill all men" bullshit does not make you a safe person for trans women to be around. You are INDISTINGUISHABLE from every other transphobe, including those found on fucking reddit or kiwifarms or 4chan. Your transphobia and intersexism are not acceptable just because you've found a "justifiable" target in transmasculine and intersex people. There's a REASON most of the people pushing this rhetoric are not transfem themselves. There is a REASON that every transfem who speaks against your harmful rhetoric gets her blog deleted within a week

You have fallen for a fucking psyop. This infighting was stimulated SOLELY to make ALL trans and intersex people easier to oppress

Trans unity is IMPORTANT and GOOD. The only people who want to pit transfems against transmascs and intersex people are violent right-wing bigots

If you believe anything different, congrats! You're a raging bigot with a thin coat of "we love trans women though!" paint. If you can't uplift transfems without bringing down other groups oppressed and marginalized based on their gender and/or assigned sex, then you aren't actually safe for ANY group oppressed on the basis of gender and/or sex, INCLUDING trans women
