BRACE YOURSELF
THE GRAPE SQUAD
i’m upset 3000
look if you're cis dont reply to jk rowling and then screenshot your tweet and post it. donate to trans charities, specifically british trans charities, because jk lives here and has been informed by british politics. thats why shes a terf.
i know everyone likes to pretend trans rights issues are universally similar, but trans rights issues in the uk are wildly different. fight on the context she is
mermaidsuk, which helps trans youth get help
albert kennedy trust, helps homeless lgbt people (the uk currently has one dedicated homeless shelter for lgbt people, and its in london)
all about trans, which is trying ensure trans people are better represented in the media
trans rights are human rights, and trans people in the uk deserve our voices heard as much as trans americans. jk rowling is not an anomaly, and represents the average british feminist. fighting against terfs requires systematic change, something british trans people not only cant do alone, but something we have to try and do as terfs actively lobby the government to take away our human rights (with there currently being talk of a bill which would cause under 18s to lose the ability to begin transitioning in any form, and a member of the house of lords currently waxing romantically about having trans rights removed in multiple areas)
you have to understand that talking to jk doesn't work. she doesnt care. use your time productively and spread these charities around. dont even reblog this post if you dont want to, make your own. just make it known that trans people in the uk are used to people acting like this, and soon we may not be able to do anything about them at all
Isn’t it weird that we were all so excited for Infinity War and now the majority of us wish it never happened?
Here’s your fukcing endgame spoilers
“Those poor boys”
“She deserves to be punished too.”
“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”
“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”
“She put herself in harm’s way”
“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”
“She ruined their lives.”
thank you natasha for being the only female representation we had in avengers for such a long time
thank you natasha for showing us we don’t need actual powers to be superheroes
thank you for still being a great character even though the production of the movies always tried to sexualize you and pass the image that you were nothing more, always making you flirt with all the male characters. but we know you’re way more
natasha romanoff was pretty much the first female superhero i ever saw in a movie and this will always mean a lot
now we have carol, we have wanda, we have gamora, we have valkyrie, we have nebula but there was a time we only had natasha romanoff
