“Hisses. Women shouting at me: slut, bisexual, she fucks men. And before I had spoken, I had been trembling, more afraid to speak than I had ever been. And, in a room of 200 sister lesbians, as angry as I have ever been. “Are you a bisexual?” some woman screamed over the pandemonium, the hisses and shouts merging into a raging noise. “I’m a Jew,” I answered; then, a pause, “and a lesbian, and a woman.” And a coward. Jew was enough. In that room, Jew was what mattered. In that room, to answer the question “Do you still fuck men?” with a No, as I did, was to betray my deepest convictions. All of my life, I have hated the proscribers, those who enforce sexual conformity. In answering, I had given in to the inquisitors, and I felt ashamed. It humiliated me to see myself then: one who resists the enforcers out there with militancy, but gives in without resistance to the enforcers among us.”

ANOTHER DEADLOCH FAN YAAAAY 🎉

I don't know if I was the one who recommended it to you, but it's true that it's the first series I've recommended or at least talked about, haha, so it's likely, and if it wasn't me, thank that person✨️

i wouldn’t think that trans activism wasn’t that annoying if every time i come out as lesbian people wouldn’t immediately make it about trans people. and “people” can literally be everyone: lgbtq+ people no matter if they’re activists or not, trans activists no matter if lgbtq+ or not, “cis” men no matter if they are leftists or not. i remember coming out as a lesbian to my gay friend and he asked me if i would date a trans woman. i talked to one of my “lesbian” (atp i don’t believe she’s one of us lmao) university acquaintances that i would love to meet other lesbians in our university and she started talking about how she doesn’t call lesbians women, but “people” to not exclude any trans people and she wanted created this kind of environment with me (she is an activist). i come out as a lesbian to a cis man who isn’t “woke” at all and he asked if i would date *random man we both know* if he was a trans woman. he could’ve just asked me the same question without putting “trans” before it. he also said that he would date a trans woman even though he says he is a 100% straight man (LMAO). like, even conservative men are grasping and accepting the concept of a man being a woman more than the idea of a woman being treated as a human being and not as an object or a concept. I WONDER WHY.

radblr hot takes? 🔥

Radblr has a giant western bias that they don't even try to work past. Obviously if the majority of this space is populated by western people then they will discuss those more. But I've seen far too many people paint all problems with their own brush without bothering to listen to other voices and it is frustrating. As an Indian woman, I relate far more with my Japanese friends than I do with almost any woman in the west and there's a reason for that. But if I talk about an issue affecting asian women on radblr, I am inundated with solutions that simply will not work India and the only other response is "then make it work" because of the assumption that the western way of life is inherently better.

Telling people that you can't love animals and eat them isn't performative. Not eating animals is actionable praxis, and has a measurable effect.

i would certainly rather be called “mate” “fella” or “bro” than be sexualised and infantilised constantly by male customers with “baby” “sweetheart” and “doll”. but okay. i’m sure the real issue regarding male customer’s way of referring to employees is the common terms of endearment and fraternity that are interpreted as vague misgendering, not the unwanted and often obviously sexually-driven pet names given to women half their age which our bosses tell us to take as a compliment.
