by insisting humans are sexually dimorphic, the evil terfs apparently reinforce inherently racist western white beauty standards... unlike the good and righteous cosmetic surgery industry which heroically charges people to pursue those exact standards (a reasonable, freestanding desire uninfluenced by any systemic bias) at the risk of their lives and health
it somewhat irritates me when people talk about how "masculinity is encouraged in girls, but femininity is discouraged in boys."
yes, it is more socially acceptable for a woman to present in a masculine manner than for a man to dress/act femininely. but that is not the same as masculinity being encouraged. tomboys are tolerated as young girls- but once you've hit pre-teen/teenage years, the expectation is that you femme up and drop any masculine characteristics. masculinity in girls is allowed as a childhood phase, but it is by no means encouraged, especially as you begin to mature and enter adolescence. anyone who thinks that masculine women are treated favorably in society has never met an actually masculine woman
Sadly people got too tolerant of Christianity we need the mythical annoying atheists to make a comeback we need to make this the summer of atheism "don't talk to me about your magical book" should be rolling off the tongue way more often....
in case anyone was forgetting what the church was all about
To that anon: I like keeping positive comments to hold. It was sweet and I'm glad you sent it. I hope you find people who you feel free to learn and discourse with freely.
In response to bans on trans women in women's sports, some have suggested that all sports leagues and competitions should be gender-desegregated and open to all, regardless of gender. Do you support this, and what effect do you think it would have on the number of women in professional sports, and their median pay?

Honestly if someone doesn’t want to date me because I’m black… Fine? Why should I give a shit, there are plenty of people who’d date me and not give a shit. If it came down to some gross secondary beliefs about black females, than the problem isn’t ’they don’t want to date me :(‘ it’s ’they believe black females are dirty’ or whatever and that’s the thing we’d have to talk about. The dating part would be irrelevant. And if someone ever felt forced to ‘At least give a black female a chance’ it’d be REALLY uncomfortable and objectifying. Like, this has nothing to do with me or how interesting I am, you’re here because you don’t want to feel racist. I could be replaced with any nonwhite person. I’m just a prop here. It seems kind of fucked up why do people act like they want that?
7k notes on this boring sexual misogyny by the way
why can't i mock your religion lmao U literally think i'm going to hell
Okay so there are a lot of posts like *Marginalized females stop allying yourself with marginalized males they will be sexist like every other male!’ And it’s true- and I get it- but it also reminds me of our intersection problem. Like, okay, gay males are going to be sexist towards us anyway. Straight females will be homophobic. Black males will be sexist; white women will be racist. So if your alliances are entirely based on ‘who won’t enact violence on me for an unchangeable trait’ you’re kind of shit out of luck unless you’re already in a position of only one kind of marginalization. So you’ve gotta walk this line or ‘calling out inter community bigotry’ and ‘not getting labeled as the person causing problems by bringing up other groups. Even though you’re still part of those groups.
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
