Radix

When a few trans women are killed in a year, that’s genocide.

notice anything? notice anything missing? any commonality amongst all of these women that is being deflected from and obfuscated by unclear vague all-inclusive language?

lesbian. lesbian is the word for female homosexuals. not gay, not queer, lesbian. lesbian. lesbian. ellen did not come out as gay, she came out as a lesbian, melissa etheridge is not a queer rock icon, she is a lesbian rock icon, the wnba contains no gay players, it contains only lesbian and bisexual players, tegan and sara did not grow up gay, they grew up as lesbians, ellen degeneres did not have a queer talk show, she was a lesbian with a talk show. please please please just say lesbian it isn’t a dirty word. soon enough, the only exposure people will have to the word lesbian will be through bleached blonde straight girls with fake boobs and long french tip nails fondling each other on pornhub for male pleasure. when we talk about actual lesbians it is so important to use clear language and say LESBIAN!!!!!!!

apparently, cats' kidneys tend to be the thing that takes them down, something about their bodies being unable to self-clean their kidneys, and the vaccine is supposed revitalize the body's ability to do just that. It would be very VERY fucking cool to have cats suddenly reaching 30 years of age be the normal thing.

dude cracked the case about WHY kidneys fail, across the board as far as i can tell. turns out there's a specific molecule whose job it is to attach to waste and signal macrophages to come eat it. it remains inactive in cats for some reason, but the molecule is still there. basically what he's done is found the switch to activate them. this will be profound not only for our domestic babies, but for big cats too - especially cheetahs!

although his research was focused on cats, it's already being used to develop drugs for humans too!

on top of that, since these molecules are tags for waste, this could also dramatically lower the rate of fatty liver disease, liver cancer, urinary crystals, rheumatoid arthritis, and even some neurological cases! like, they're hoping it may have an impact on parkinson's and alzheimers, but it DOES have an impact on stroke recovery. like. holy shit.

furthermore, he's insisting that the feline drug be affordable if and when it rolls out onto the market. he wants this to be something anyone can get for their cat!! idk how much sway he'll have over the human drug, but hopefully enough that it, too, won't be that expensive.

annnnnd in his research that he's still doing for the human side of things, he's found a potential link between this molecule and estrogen. in the 20,000 samples he's tested, women between ages 10 and 29 had the highest amount of this molecule present in their blood (a higher amount means Something Fucky is going on, essentially. There's a higher amount of waste the body is trying to clean out) but it drops down to be almost equal amongst men and women after menopause. it hasn't been looked into yet, but fuck, just the fact it's noted and known and probably WILL be looked into soon??? imagine if this is what leads to figuring out all the various ways the ovaries and uterus fucks with people and how to fix it. or even like, maybe there's something about estrogen that makes it work better. who knows! but it's rad the link is there to be researched :D

As for the study itself, the 360 day follow up on stage 3 kidney failure kitties showed that the control had a survival rate of about 20%, while the test group had a survival rate of 80%

When we say girls and women should be afforded the protection of sex exclusive sporting events, it's not entirely because of biological differences between males and us. Clearly these differences are less present in certain age groups.

she could literally be the worst woman in the world, but if she were male, you wouldn’t have called her a bitch. there is no “i don’t normally call women this but she’s being a bitch”. you wanted to target and insult her femaleness specifically. her sex is inherently linked with your insult. that makes you misogynistic, flinging an insult based on someone’s sex.

also, if you call a man a bitch, you are degrading him on the basis of being comparable to a woman. it implies to be [female-aimed slur] is particularly degrading. you are also a misogynist for that.

I’ve talked about Hasan’s open misogyny before but no, it’s actually still not talked about enough that arguably the internet’s biggest leftist “influencer” openly dismisses misogyny and hates women. His attitude towards women alone should have gotten him ostracized from leftist spaces—spaces where people are regularly kicked out for using the wrong terminology or not going along with ridiculous, maximalist positions—but this is what happens when men on the left say feminism is, at best, a distraction from class politics, and at worst, the whining of bitch white Karens.
