Lowkey Thinking About Writing Up A New Version Of The Masterdoc That Cuts Out The Bullshit. 

Oh joy. I'm just gonna make a small note here that I read this woman's previous webcomic when I was 16-19, looking for sex ed entering my first relationship, I started reading it religiously for advice on everything from handjobs to anal to bondage. It had no small part in leading right into the deep end of fetish and the fetish community.

I made a FetLife account one my 18th birthday, literally the first thing I did when the clock ticked over to midnight. I wanted to do porn and go to week long kink camps. I'm so fucking glad I didn't, but I'm just saying how this *exact* language and treatment of sex and porn and kink can be harmful to teens. Let alone someone as young as 11. (the youngest I could actually see it marketed too, in middle school.)

But you know what? That's the problem. If we and/or the right actually succeeds in pulling this book from school shelves (which they should) oh joy sex toy and it's peers still exist on the web. With all of the shit they couldn't get past a censor, and you don't have to look your librarian in the eyes to get it... This is just a weird symptom of the sex ed problem being Very Bad for years and years.

Sorry , I just have to share these images from Trans propaganda book entitled Let’s Talk About It. Bc I’m so disturbed.

Apparently this book is/was available to kids as young as five years old (K-12 libraries).

All research and credit to this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/xxclusionary/status/1660035667387088898?s=20

The creator included references for proof that the book is available to an age group starting at age 5. So check that thread if you’re doubtful that children as young as 5 have access to this.

1. Male and female bizarrely rebranded as “testosterone rich” and “estrogen rich”. Girl-dick and adult nudity straight off the bat.

Insinuates the default male and female relationship is a jock+ hyper-feminine damsel and that variance only exits via transition or w identities outside the m/f binary. Apparently impossible for a female gf to like sports and a male bf to not be hyper masculine.

Every black female depicted as androgynous or trans masculine. 1% of the population who take artificial sex hormones represented on almost every single anatomy page.

Transwoman cited as having broad hips and depicted as the most femme kind of women throughout the book. More girl-dick and “testosterone rich” /“estrogen rich” speak.

Graphic PIV sex depicted. Again, book available to 5 year olds.

How to Use Butt Plugs Guide. Again. Target audience 5-18. Even for 16-18 year olds, is butt plug usage something you casually get into at that age? It’s a hardcore sex toy. Why was this included?

Why does addressing the stigma against STDs have to mean presenting them as No Big Deal? Also dangerous if this book ends up outside of the US or Europe in developing countries where STI testing and treatment is still a struggle, health care systems are slow + underfunded and HIV/ AIDS is still a deadly illness.

“The internet is a great place to research kinks!”

Directing people under the age of 18 to search porn for sex and “kink” info explicitly against the guidelines and laws of most countries is so delusional and irresponsible.

The conflation of sex education with How To Fuck manuals for kids is a disturbing development. More needs to be done to give young people helpful information about their bodies and sexuality without veering into casual exposure to adult sexuality. Also, content should be better streamlined towards distinct age groups, with young babies being protected from more mature themes. And trans people, particularly white transwomen, being hyper-represented when they make up a tiny portion of the population is a disturbing bias.

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

lest we forget

Discontent You create from discontent. Most of your life has been spent being uncomfortable in your own skin. This body is just another house that's never felt like home. You don't know how to be at ease in this world or this life. Art is a way of running away, of forgetting yourself and escaping to a more comfortable place. To cope with an unhospitable reality, you create more welcoming worlds to consume your work and your waking hours. But the foundation of your art has always been your discontent with the real world and your life within it. Lurking behind the inviting scenery you dream of is the desperate desire to be anywhere but here. It is a world constructed as a respite from this one. Such vivid fantasies are the dream of one who considers reality a prison.

hey everyone 👋 take my uquiz i finished and then forgot about for months. it's 28 questions with 15 results and there's no lyrics or pop culture references so it should be friendly to non-americans and people like me who are just out of touch

I highly encourage turning on the tumblr setting for showing timestamps on posts and replies. It helps keep things in context. It's really easy to feel overwhelmed when you see post after post of bad news with no reference to when it's happening - there's a sense of urgency and panic because it all seems current, even if logically you understand that there's lots of post churn due to the nature of the queue/reblog system.

Dad of 'Non-Binary' Teen Who "Calmly" Killed Mom Blames Sex-Segregated Mental Health Units for Teen's, Ex's Deaths | Women Are Human

UK — Hambledon, England. A teen callously murdered his mother by strangling her to unconsciousness and stabbing her 118 times. He was found dead four days later in a secure mental health hospital. Now the teen’s father says the blame for the untimely deaths of his son and ex is on the shoulders of authorities who repeatedly placed the ‘nonbinary’ teen in sex-segregated mental health units.

  17-year-old Rowan Thompson, a private school pupil who changed his name from Ben when he began identifying as genderless, visited his mother, 50-year-old speech therapist Joanna, for the weekend at her village home. The teen had recently gone to live with his father, Marc, a magician. Mother and son engaged in “stressful” conversations about his living arrangements. The teen decided his mother was “controlling and over-bearing.”  The following day, 1 July 2019, the mother and son went for a morning jog. When they returned home, the teen “felt strange,” and began strangling his mother. Joanna Thompson fell to the floor, and Rowan Thompson strangled her until she was rendered unconscious. “10 or 15 minutes later,” the teen returned to find his mother still breathing, and used a knife to stab her 64 times in the neck, 38 times in the forehead and 16 times in the arm.   At 12:45 PM, the teen called the emergency number and reported in what Coroner Jason Pegg would later describe as a “calm, unemotional and quite ordinary manner”: “I’ve just killed my mum. I need someone to arrest me as that’s what you do and an ambulance would be nice. I strangled her and I’ve been stabbing her with various knives and whatnot. My younger brother is at school, he’s due back later tonight. … She’s not breathing… bring a body-bag or whatever you do. I’m 99.9 per cent sure she’s not breathing.“ 

  He “made sure” her breathing stopped, the teen told the operator, and “put the knives in the dishwasher just in case.” The arresting officer found the teen “extremely calm and composed” and “more concerned about his cat.”   Rowan Thompson was placed in a secure mental health facility. His trial was set for 7 October 2020. Four days before the date, he was found dead. Police said Rowan Thompson’s death is not suspicious. The inquest into the teen’s death is scheduled to take place next year. The youth had a history of suicide attempts and depressive bouts, and spent prior stints in mental health hospitals.

  Marc Thompson insisted Rowan Thompson was “troubled,” but never aggressive, loved his mother and planned to become an architect. He said the system had failed Rowan Thompson by always placing the teen in single-sex units, despite the teen’s ‘genderless’ identity. He claims two psychiatrists thought the youth “mentally incapacitated.” Psychiatrist Dr John Sandford told the inquest into Joanna Thompson’s death that Rowan Thompson had minor autism, but he found no indication of “abnormal mental functioning.”   Sophie Rugge-Price described her sister Joanna Thompson as “shy, gentle and kind,” “always thinking about others” and “devoted to both her sons.” A girl with minor autism identified as nonbinary. If the father was told the kid was “mentally incapacitated” why didn’t he try to find a better facility? 

Honestly, a crafts god exists. It's Athena. Literally you just want to worship Athena.

no but if 2022 is okayish and it’s all because a straw goat burnt down what do we do then. where do we go from that point.

I think people often underestimate the potential educational value of senseless memes. For example, thanks to Spiders Georg, literally every teenager on Tumblr has a reasonable grasp of what a statistical outlier is and the sorts of problems that outliers can introduce into a naïve analysis. There are grown adults who don’t get that - I deal with them on a daily basis.
