It's pronounced "Zay-bull"

Reminder that "transwoman" without the space is a transmisogynistic dogwhistle as it's used almost exclusively by hate groups like the "gender critical" movement.

it’s pretty hilarious when people say “lmao you obviously don’t know anything about Alison Bechdel if you think she’s a terf” because if anything the exact opposite is true: if you know anything about Alison Bechdel outside of a few comics uploaded to tumblr it is shockingly obvious that she’s a terf. She can’t get through a full sentence without shilling one or the major terf playbooks (Fun Home opens with her self-insert proudly reading Gyn/Ecology for fucks sake), all of her real life feminist heroes are… you guessed it! they’re almost all terfs! Where did she spend her time every year? Why, at the infamously transphobic Michigan Womyn’s Music Festival, of course! She only stopped going when they completely cancelled the event (because of how many trans people were protesting it) and still went after trans people she knew asked her not to

i just don't understand what is so hard for people to wrap their heads around here. even people who got with the program irt JKR are wringing their hands over this, and i find the solution very obvious: if you have previously respected Alison Bechdel as an author or an artist, you respect her as a terf. terf politics are part & parcel with her art-- the curtains aren't just blue here, folks. In this example: She could have literally chosen any other feminist literature to depict her journey with queerness. There are a plethora of cisgender, lesbian authors who write theory and literature who are not terfs. When an artist makes literary reference in this way, they do so for a reason. It can be used as a tool for characterization, an allegorical reference, or even a signal to the audience. Something that might say "Hey, I read those other books too. We're cool." Even here, she calls the experience a "novel fusion between word and deed"-- she herself making it inseparable from the action of lesbianism in her eyes.

Holy shit!!!!!!! HUNGARY DID IT!!!!

If they ever make the live action version the Guru episode it’ll go like this.
