always remember that adhesive labels can sense your fear and hesitation when you are removing them

a surprising number of people see the term "social construct" and think that it means something is not real when it actually means something is so very real because it was created by us and is constantly enforced, often violently

when james baldwin "you think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read" & "love does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does. love is a battle, love is a war; love is a growing up" & "it took many years of vomiting up all the filth i’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before i was able to walk on the earth as though i had a right to be here" & "you have to go the way your blood beats. if you don't live the only life you have, you won't live some other life, you won't live any life at all" & &

one of the biggest death knells of feminism is the notion that the only true sisterhood comes from coddling someone’s views and actions no matter how patriarchally complicit they are and that criticism is an act of internalized misogyny

Part of loving your sister is telling her when she’s being fucking stupid actually

acting dumber than you are to please men is fucking degrading and it is not antifeminist to tell someone this!

TERFs reblogging this post: you are not only fucking stupid but also repulsive and your hate movement is another death knell of feminism. Go to hell.
