arguing with terfs sucks so much cause it just feels like youre making litterally the same exact points as them but somehow they still refuse to accept the truth
they take what you say and twist it, strawmanning your words into something you never said. because at the end of the day, they refuse to accept that they are in any capacity incorrect. you can't even argue on the note of compassion, because they fundamentally do not fucking care.
your annual reminder:
don’t support autism speaks this month
don’t “light it up blue”
don’t use the puzzle piece symbol
however!
do support autistic content creators
do support “red instead” and the infinity symbol
remember to listen to the voices of marginalised autistic people!
happy autism awareness/acceptance month! go tell your local autistic pal that they’re awesome! if you’re autistic, remember to practice some self-love!
me: I love this character so much, they're adorable and I would die for them
random person: aw so you would date them and sleep with them?
me: *spits out my drink* ew no wtf
the anon that was going on about estrogen was so close to the point but just veered off to the left 💀
yes the human's (and other animals') sex is determined by a lot of factors, it's like a big and complex assembly line, you know what else that means? there can be "mistakes" (for the record trans people are not mistakes, i love yall, im just using the word to work with the analogy) from many different factors, a message with a typo that changes the instructions, a misreading of the instructions, hell even enviromental factors can upset the process
also "trans women dont naturally produce estrogen" honey, UH-HONEY! men and women both have testosterone and estrogen because they're more than "sex hormones", these hormones have other purposes too. in amab men for example, insufficient estrogen levels can cause erectile dysfunction, lower libido, excess fat (nothing wrong with that imo, just listing all effects to show that the hormones have influence on the body regardless of sex) and most importantly loss of bone matter and osteoporosis.
its true that on the average, afab women produce more estrogen and amab men produce more testosterone, but that's just it, AVERAGES.
it's not too uncommon for cis men to have naturally high estrogen levels and for cis women to have naturally high testosterone levels (*cough cough* Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi in the last olympics *cough cough*)
terfs really are the karens of biology, talking on stuff they don't understand.
Not the same anon but honestly feminists have the right to focus their movement on the rights of female people, it’s literally in the name. Trans activism is for trans people. A liberation movement needs to stay focused, or nothing will be accomplished.
That’s true. However, while the trans activism is made for all different genders within the community, these radfems are excluding a group of women simply because there was a glitch in nature for them.
I really don’t think including trans women is going to derail our purpose as feminists or anything of the sort. In fact, we seem to be doing quite fine with our fellow cis and trans women. A lot of our struggles as vagina-havers are different depending on our race, which country we are in, whether we’re disabled or not, and whether we even identify as women.
Wouldn’t it be absolutely beautiful to be one united front instead of pitting ourselves against other groups of women just because they’re different?
Today was such a good day. I finally settled on calling my Wolfstar series “The Truth Untold” Series because that’s what the Marauders are, one big, hidden truth from Harry. (It’s also the title to one of BTS’ songs, which I think everyone should listen to). I also love the fact that I finally found a half-Japanese face claim that fits Sirius beautifully I really cried. It’s Conan Gray. So yeah, today was a good day.
“Knew! Of course we knew! How could you not be, my dratted sister being what she was? Oh, she got a letter just like that and disappeared off to that — that school — and came home every vacation with her pockets full of frog spawn, turning teacups into rats. I was the only one who saw her for what she was — a freak! But for my mother and father, oh no, it was Lily this and Lily that, they were proud of having a witch in the family!” (HP&PS, Chapter Four) 
I don’t know how Lily’s pocket would be full of frog spawn, so I’m gonna take this as Lily used to have a pet frog/toad. No more Lily Evans with pretty and majestic pets like cats and owls, enter Lily Evans with a pet frog she named Tulip (after her favorite flower, of course). She loved that slimy animal with her whole soul.
No, you can’t change my mind about it.
BRING IT ON

I have a question. What do you call these three things? They have different names depending on where you live, and I’m curious.
