Reblog to give mutuals a break from whatever they're been going through

When 1780 babies in Cuba die due to the measurably heightened effects of the blockade on the medical system, you must understand this as the United States murdering 1780 Cuban babies. Despite having one of the world's most advanced medical systems, and the highest doctors per capita compared to any other country (over 2.5x that of the United States) 10s of 1000s of people are unable to access medical treatment in Cuba because of the strangulation of the Cuban healthcare system. The defense of Cuba is a litmus test for socialists, you must condemn Imperialism, not the revolution, the blockade is an act of genocide

I think it's quite extreme to say "trans men transition to escape misogyny" but obviously there is a very present demographic of trans men who are spurred into realizing they want nothing to do with womanhood due to misogynistic treatment. However, on a much stranger note, a significant portion of that group seems to think the only reason they did not enjoy this treatment is because they were actually men all along, and for some reason REAL women, be they cis or trans, would actually like being treated like that. It would be normal and good and enriching for them.

Oh see actually when I was a child I hated being told I was weak and incapable of doing anything by myself because I was actually a big strong boy all along :) and if I were really a girl, and if you were really a girl, like you claim to be, transwoman, then you would actually really like being told your weak and incapable of doing anything by yourself. See I hated how the boys all got to play football after dinner while I did dishes with my mom because I was actually a boy who whould have been playing football all along!! haha tboy trauma am I right?? anyways, you, tranny tgirl, should be honored that you are doing the dishes. It means I really see you as a woman :) and if you really were a woman you would like it, the same way my mom definitely did. If she didn't like it, why would she have told me to do it too??

girl who is so so scared all the time. girl who once passed as 'smart' but now finds it hard to think. girl who's always half lost because of memory issues and dissociation and trouble with inhabiting a physical space. girl who is a failure in a way that is neither interesting nor endearing.

It's crazy how everybody suddenly hates Hank Green for using artificial intelligence when they didn't really care about him publishing that godawful transmisogynistic video. Like, only one of those is a bad thing but you wouldn't know which one it is from the response.

It's like when everybody suddenly hated John Mulaney for getting a divorce when they didn't really care about his promotion of transmisogynistic comedy.

I really do think people should be significantly more ashamed of the way they talk about trans womens bodies

It's crazy because people will act like they are so nervous to speak out of line to us and then will say things you would never in a million years say to someone else

everyone in the whole world understands it would be a massive feaux pas for a tgirl to tell an obviously chest-dysphoric trans man thats she's jealous of the feminine sexual prowess that his large breasts supposedly represent but then will talk about trans womens dicks like toys behind a glass window.

The amount of slavery in Ancient Rome was legitimately terrifying tbh

Y’all know that I’m into ancient Roman history and I do a lot of research on it but even though I should be used to it by now sometimes I read an anecdote about how an individual slave was treated and I’m hit with the realization that like a third of the population was living like that and I just need to put my head in my hands for a second

When you study ancient history you’re reminded that slavery has never once been kind or justified. It just takes on different forms of evil in every time and place that it infects.

and also i think it's insulting to the people getting savaged by these animals for us to quibble about whether or not the poor heckin pupperino is being abused

like i have had cis lesbians hit on me (especially when i was pre t) and then tell me it's okay because I dont count as a REAL man and that always has made me feel extremely dysphoric and terrible. i cannot fathom why you'd open yourself up to that on purpose

there is a really disgusting habit that misogynistic trans men have on this site where they will bring up some awful thing that happened to them in the past in order to disprove what they see as the Oppression Olympics favoring women. and obviously, i don't want traumatic and transphobic things to happen to trans men. but the assumption they always seem to have is that this trauma is theirs alone, and the woman they're talking to couldn't possibly have ever experienced anything worse, so this is their trump card. this type of man always assumes that no one taking part in any of these conversations could EVER have suffered more than he has suffered. then, he's placed a burden on the woman he's talking to, who now has to perform compassion for him in spite of all of the ways he is attacking her rhetorically, and also placing pressure on her to either 1. disclose her trauma and humilate herself publicly, or 2. NOT disclose her trauma, and forfeit the Oppression Olympics to him by default, which is also a humiliation. this behavior is common and it is revolting. recognize this when it happens and don't let them get away with it.

“How can the weird route be heteronormative when Kris is nonbinary?” Well the weird route is horror. Part of that horror is Kris’s loss of autonomy. Though if youre asking that question you’re probably also the kind of person to not get how Berdly treating Kris the same way he treats Noelle and Susie is still misogynistic. Being nonbinary doesn’t mean you exist independently from gender as a system. You are still subject to those forces.

I stand beside the machines in the intensive care unit, watching every sound and every movement with fear. My heart trembles whenever a doctor walks toward me, terrified the next words will break me forever. Please help baby Qais continue receiving the treatment he desperately needs by donating today.

Donations have completely stopped, and today the hospital administration warned they may expel us because I cannot afford my baby Qais’s treatment anymore. Please, I beg you through my tears, donate now before my child is abandoned without care.

Every day without treatment makes his condition worse, and I am terrified that I am slowly watching him slip away from me. Please donate now—your kindness could help Qais receive the treatment he desperately needs.

I never imagined I would beg the world to help keep my child alive. If you have ever wanted to save a life, please let it be Qais's. Please donate now every donation today could help continue the care he desperately needs while there is still time.
