Mmm no, I hate takes like this. It comes from people who think they're so above it all and think of themselves as magnanimous heros coming to save us poor unfortunate souls from our dire fates. It's most common among self-righteous centrist liberals, but leftists are not immune to that thinking either.

Do all of my political positions come from a place of self-interest? Absolutely not, no. I will fight for someone who is not me any day and everyday. Fighting for someone because they are human and deserve basic human rights and dignity (and to not be hunted/targeted by the state of bigots) is what everyone should do.

But I'm a transgender bisexual Jewish woman with medical conditions that require consistent medical attention. I have a lot of causes that, well, affect me personally and deeply. Am I not allowed to care about trans rights or women's rights of antisemitism just because they affect me and I have self-interest in one outcome?

Fighting for universal healthcare because you think everyone should have quality healthcare even if it means you'll pay more is good. Fighting for universal and because you need qualify healthcare and can't afford it is also good. They're both fighting

I'm going to be honest, "Republicans are bad because they work in self-interest" OR "self-interest is bad because Republicans do it" are worse takes than, "I want my comfort show to keep making episodes, so I'll writers striking because they deserve proper compensation."

Deciding someone's support for a cause is actually bad because they're reason isn't "pure" enough is absolutely worse.

i dont know what autistic person needs to hear this but your sensory wellness is so important. and that goes beyond just avoiding things that trigger immediate distress. sensory enrichment is vital too! do things that make you feel safe and comforted and happy and alive. it's not insignificant. it's not silly. it's part of taking care of your lovely autistic self and enjoying life. your life, which thrives when your wants and needs are met.

character who is sun-coded but not in the traditional ray-of-sunshine way. character who is sun-coded in the sense that they burn hot and bright and powerful, that they're a raging fury of fire and passion, and that maybe, just maybe, they are destroying themselves as they do so.

They honestly did Black Dog so dirty in the Russian version of Treasure Island

Like, in other versions of Treasure Island, they make Black Dog look so cool and badass

Seriously, look at every other depiction of Black Dog

And now look at the Russian version

HE LOOKS LIKE THE RUSSIAN PIRATE VERSION OF WARIO AND I CANNOT

APPARENTLY HE HAS HIPS THAT DON’T LIE BUT NO THIGHS

reblog to shit on missouri attorney general andrew bailey’s front lawn.

Reminder that this is NOTHING like the Holocaust so please don't say it is. This is a definite genocide tho.

Gender Dysphoria in Transgender Kids Is Not Caused by 'Social Contagion,' Study Finds

Contrary to a previous study that claimed gender dysphoria in youth is a product of social trends, researchers found that many transgender youths are subject to bullying and suicidal thoughts

Before you say “Duh,” remember they are using the social contagion lie to make life saving health care from children and teens.  Studies like this can be used in court to fight for the rights of children in our community.

happy LDoV

Trans Adults Officially Being Detransitioned In Missouri: "I'm Scared And Don't Know What To Do"

Transgender adults are officially being pulled off of their medication in Missouri and forced to detransition. A new ban targeting trans car

Trans Missourians on HRT, call your doctor as soon as possible and get a 90-day supply or as much as they’ll give you.

Lots of us are going to have to relocate or go through costly and/or illegal channels to acquire HRT now.

I invite trans people in MO to add their payment links this post. We desperately need support. We need people to give a shit right now. This is life-or-death for many of us.

Here’s mine:
