Mostly Void.

a lot of you have mistaken unbridled and honestly vile serophobia for safe sex advocacy lol

stop calling people "clean" or "dirty," stop calling people stupid for having had unsafe sex or otherwise contracted an STI, stop fearmongering and playing up your disgust for a type of illness that the majority of people will contract at some point in their life, stop acting like regular testing isn't something that many many responsible people engage in, stop treating STIs as a moral taint and not a class of overwhelmingly curable (and in other cases manageable with treatment) infections, it is beyond obvious that this is less about genuine care for others and more about keeping alive the same smug sense of self-satisfaction that's been carrying you since middle school health class

i genuinely worry seeing how some of you talk about protection (which, to be clear, is great!) as the sole ward against a universally life ruining illness. if you're sexually active then it's more likely than not that at some point in your adulthood you or one of your partners will get a positive on a panel, when this happens the most likely outcome is that recent partners get phone calls and then everyone at significant risk goes into a clinic and gets a shot in the arm that kind of stings and then you don't have unprotected sex for like a week. ymmv depending on the infection and your relationship style and status. protection is cheap and a great option to reduce worry in your life but you are doing nothing to advocate its use by talking about STIs in the same fire-and-brimstone way your that your abstinence-only gym/sex ed teacher did

there's always a bit in nature documentaries where they start talking about reproduction and the voiceover suddenly becomes absurdly misogynistic as you suddenly understand just how attached every human involved with this project is to the word "female" and all of its implications

>"you only think this character is transfem bc they're feminine!!" >look inside >actual analysis of the character's self image, beliefs, and relationship with gender that lends itself to a transfem interpretation

y'all really weren't kidding with "the biggest indicator of ralsei being transfem is how hard ppl are angrily trying to disprove it" oh my god the shit i've seen this past week 😭

utdr fans will convince themselves that actual straight-up woody from toy story is gonna have major significance to the plot and is connected to some demonic cat creature whose role/identity is still shrouded in mystery because of an unrelated shitpost toby posted to tumblr like a decade ago that was rediscovered and went viral around ch2, but if you so much as imply that ralsei wants to be a girl they'll act like you shot their dog

im starting to think a lot of ppl might not have realized that the whole mike thing is poking fun at them specifically

i think understanding the family as a system of ownership over both women and children will lead you to understand both misogyny and the oppression of children a lot better and also be able to draw informative parallels between both

"do you think pre-transition trans men have male privilege?!" Is such a telling thing from transandrodorks, because it clarifies that they do not understand privilege/power/oppression dynamics, but worst of all it shows they define transhood by hrt. Yes, some trans men pre hrt absolutely have male privilege, because hrt isn't the moment you suddenly become trans, hrt is not when you suddenly become a man or a woman. You can come out and not do anything to medically alter your body. Do you think trans women are spared harassment just because they're not on hrt? Do you think pre hrt trans women are privileged? This is another chapter in the 'transandrodorks are actually bioessentialist' because they refuse to recognize pre hrt trans people as their genders as victims of their respective bigotries. A state banned trans girls from joining women's teams to affect one specific trans girl. In an entire state. Did that trans girl have male privilege? Dumbasses.

Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.

Do you mean community as in "broad coalition of people united by some shared material interests" or do you mean "Discord server"

i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are

and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

Hi just because youre a gay man doesnt mean you can say whatever you want about women

Really fascinated by the "read the banned books" concept us libraries are apparently doing because it's nearly always the books that aren't banned in the US, and even moreso it's always fucking Orwell. (I heard that he got some of his books banned at some point in usa history, it's doesn't matter because it's no longer the case and 1984 is in a school curriculum and it's so omnipresent in pop culture that it doesn't really matter. And all his other books are reiteration of the same). Doing the "banned books" earnestly kinda forces you to place shit like turners diaries there too, so maybe that's the reason
