What The Actual FUCK.

me when i’m trapped in a tall tower for all my life and the only access to the outside world i have is through social media

… Food metaphors really are perfect. You don’t like raisin cookies and do like chocolate chip cookies. Your friend baked cookies, ‘oooo chocolate chips cookies!’ You’d say. If your friend is good and cares about you having a good time eating they’d say, ‘actually these are raisin cookies’, but instead they say nothing leaving you to go, ‘oh- these are raisin cookies, sorry I don’t actually like raisins.’

‘But you like cookies, you’ve eaten other cookies before I’ve seen you.’

‘I like chocolate chip cookies. Sorry.’

‘But the dough is really good and it’s well baked!’

‘Raisins really just ruin the experience of eating a cookie.’

non-transfem lesbians are always trying to tell me why it's actually fine for them to have genital preference but for some reason I never hear any of them saying "I would be so grossed out if I had to fuck a vagina"

saw on r/detrans that NHS england is setting up a new service for detrans people! REALLY happy to see this.

People deserve the ability to give TRULY informed consent about their bodies and medical treatment! Allowing detrans people to come out of the shadows and share their experiences will help everyone with GD including those who choose to transition, because we'll have more data!

I remember years ago a dear friend of mine got on T and I scoured the internet looking for research to try find out how I could support him/what he could expect from side effects. The main thing I learned (especially from a zine survey created by transmasc people who were medically transitioning which I've linked here) is that the long-term impacts of being on HRT are WILDLY underresearched (especially for trans men).

I would argue that this fits into the larger underrepresentation of female bodies in medical studies (though I'm sure the authors would disagree with me)

"I question how useful informed consent models are when there is hardly any information to consent too" is certainly a sentiment many radfem and gc people on here can relate too. I genuinely respect people like this for doing the work for their communities and find it rlly fucked up that the medical establishment can make so much money off of them while working with data from sample sizes that were much snaller than this because they don't care enough to test it more.

The Testosterone Survey Zine

The Testosterone Survey Zine is a 60-page community health art project compiling the results of a nearly-400 person survey documenting the e

will never get over what happened to the women’s march. the largest single-day protest in the history of the WORLD. 82 countries and 7 million people. an incredible display of female solidarity, hope, strength, and resistance. reduced to “white women in pussy hats.” not by conservatives but by leftists!! who gleefully dismissed this enormous protest because “white women voted for trump.” never mind that the women who attended the march very obviously did not vote for trump. they were all vilified anyway, even though a huge percentage of the protestors and organizers weren’t even white. the whole protest somehow came to be seen as a cringey, frivolous display of white woman privilege. again, the women’s march was GLOBAL and unprecedented in WORLD history. yet it’s pretty much never talked about anymore, except to joke about pussy hats.

Obviously young republican men being more likely to think men than women face discrimination in our society is dumb and stupid but we really gotta work on the fact that a QUARTER of young democratic women think men face discrimination.

“let women date men” “let women shave” “let women be girly and feminine” what alternate reality are you guys living in.

mom, dad, i found grandma’s terf sideblog immortalized on the wayback machine. why is there 5 hours worth of entries agonizing over the word ‘fish.’

See the funny thing is most people are chill with co-ed as an option. There are places where female people are too vulnerable for third spaces to be considered reasonable (Mostly related to shit like strip searching or prisons) but in 75 percent of cases single sex spaces are an alternative created because males couldn’t stop harassing people. Like most spaces for marginalized groups.

I don’t like Pork, I like kale

”But have you tried my bacon? My bacon is to die for, everyone loves my bacon.”

That’s cool, that a lot of people enjoy your bacon that is. But I don’t like pork, so it probably won’t be nice for me.

“What if I snuck little pork bits inside your kale, you’d probably like it than right?”

No. I don’t like pork so it’d just kind of ruin what’d otherwise be a good meal for me.

“You like chicken with your kale and that’s practically the same as pork!”

… No. Chicken is chicken. They’re both meats I guess but chicken isn’t pork.

“I think everyone secretly likes pork, they just haven’t had it cooked the right way.”

Then your ideas about the world are wrong, because I don’t like pork.

“I totally get what you mean, I’m a Muslim and I’m 100 percent against eating pork! I do crave bacon and pork chops all the time though I mean who doesn’t? Don’t get how you’re into kale though I mostly live on chicken and lettuce.

I don’t crave pork. Because I don’t like it, I do like kale though- it honestly doesn’t seem like you get what I mean at all.

“Oh yeah, I ate pork and found it pretty okay, but than I had kale and it was the bomb! It was so good it made me realize I never liked pork!”

I don’t think kale is just… Better than pork, I straight up don’t like it.

“You know I experimented with kale when I was younger than realized-“

I’m going to blow up the world.
