I quite literally watched the ruling live, terrified that the Supreme Court would rule against women. Instead, I was pleasantly surprised.
The judge that read out the ruling bent over backwards to play down the judgement and he underlined more than once that trans people were already protected under the Equality Act and, more laughably, that we had to remember that the ruling wasn't a victory for either side, even though it was a clear victory for women, purely to still bow and scrape to these men.
You'd think the Supreme Court ruled to dump every man in a dress in acid. It was literally just to decide what "woman" and "sex" meant in the wording of the Equality Act.
Their "peaceful protest" vandalised a statue of suffragist Dame Millicent Fawcett, the only statue of a woman, and the only statue created by a woman, in Parliament Square with "fag rights" scrawled across her, too.
Of course a tech bro organised this.

Women saying "no."
What do you think pisses males off the most?
I knew it was a TIF because there was a mention of "trans men" in there and wanting to reject the actual use of the word "woman," but I wasn't prepared for the self-satisfied, smug pose on her actual Yale page.
Actual dystopian level sick this is. Legitimately floored. What the actual fuck.
“”I argue that pregnancy is not to be defined by biological phenomena but instead as a genre of political, aesthetic, and affective experience and expectation. As a multidimensional genre of experience, rather than merely a biological datum, pregnancy can potentially establish a shared ground between trans and cis women. Pregnancy is an existential experience involving birth and becoming in a larger sense. We need a more all-encompassing notion of pregnancy””
Pregnancy is not a haha fun little inclusive to all club. Are you fucking kidding me.
Too many bisexuals are allergic to admitting that they're just bisexual.
It's always been bad with bisexual self-hatred, but the rot worsened when the definition of bisexuality was eroded to "attracted to two or more genders" that allowed straight people entry.
I remember being at university years ago and seeing signs up saying what was essentially, "If you have close friends of more than one gender, you may be bisexual" as part of all this. I wish I was joking.
I embroidered a Monstera leaf as a gift.
Here it is twinning with the Monstera in the gift receiver´s house 🥰
See how close I came to running out of green thread under the cut:
It was so close, I´m glad I made it 💗
The misapplication, distortion, and clumsy/careless use of social justice concepts is one of the most pressing issues facing women and racial and sexual minorities. People have taken insane, disrespectful liberties with the language and justice tools invented by oppressed groups to name and explain their realities. The result is that once effective justice tools - such as anti racism, anti-homophobia and anti-misogyny- has now lost all credibility and has been rendered a joke. The constant appropriation and careless abuse of these justice tools, (largely by inherently privileged people) has devastated liberation movements to such an extent that one could imagine it's being intentionally done as a form of sabotage. Once useful, powerful ideas and concepts have been watered down and misapplied to the point of absurd parody. Most notably, the concept of "gender". The word "gender", once understood to refer to the system of sexist oppression inflicted on women- is now used to refer to personality traits, fashion sense, mental and psychiatric symptoms, aesthetic preferences and one's degree of conformity to social and cultural stereotypes. This has devastated the coherence, clarity, and intellectual respect of feminist theory. What's worse, this total abuse and disrespect of justice language is now being used to justify an "anti-woke" movement, where people suggest that genuine justice concerns be dismissed along with the nonsense meanings and misapplications created by careless, privileged individuals who greedily appropriated justice tools and borrowed from their legitmacy for selfish, nefarious purposes. This must end. Grassroots justice movements must reclaim their language, ideas, and concepts and rebuild. We must resist the psychological and intellectual theft.
the most infuriating thing about personal growth is that even if someone else did have the answer you needed and conveyed it to you in a precise and effective matter, it won't make sense until you're ready for it. you could hear it every day of your life and it wouldn't matter a fucking bit until it finally clicks. there's very little you can do to influence when that happens, either
