its so difficult to explain the absolute dread and fear to Americans about the Queen dying because they leap immediately to jokes and memes or rolling their eyes and asking if you're a royalist.

babes....they've planned a national MONTH of mourning for when she dies. all programming shifted to mourning the Queen, and god knows it'll be tory brainwashing.

a funeral costs around 12 million for a prince!! how much is it going to be for a Queen!! a new coronation's price???

the things this black hearted government will cut, or shove through parliament, under the guise of mourning?? the martyring???

energy bills are predicted to rise to £7700 ($8800) a year, do you understand how this can be twisted? inflation to 24%? they're already using the war in Ukraine as an excuse, but this??? gold mine for them.

I'm not saying don't make your jokes, but PLEASE understand if a British person seems horrified and shell shocked because We Know What Comes Next but even then, not under such a fascist and authoritarian government in such a poverty inducing time.

Before, you were asking about “our daughter”. It’s crazy. But it really got me thinking… what if you had come with me all those years ago?

It's past 1 a.m. but I'm terrified to go to sleep. The govt has started a hard crackdown on the protesters. There's gonna be another massacre this night. I don't want to wake up to news of numbers of lives lost

if you’re interested in what is going on in Kazakhstan right now, this article succinctly relays information

My hometown is in state of emergency right now, for at least the declared 14 days. Internet is spotty, social media is shut down, there is an established curfew and police checkpoints throughout the city. Protests and riots are still going strong, despite what the media says.

some helpful clarification, since some of y'all are confused

what unpacking ur transmisogyny does not mean:

- performing sexual acts u are not comfortable with for any reason

what unpacking ur transmisogyny does mean:

- unlearning ur preconceived biases and assumptions about some women's bodies

- realizing that penises are not masculine, predatory, aggressive, or tools of penitration and can infact be feminine and delicate

- realizing that ur assumptions about what a womans body looks like are rooted in racism and misogyny

- understanding that all attempts to categorize and standardize what a womans body "must" look like is always just an attempt to police and control women

- unlearning the lie that u can tell someones gender based on their physical features and that that gender predicts anything about them

- undoing ur association of vaginas with safety and penises with violence. no one is inherently a safe person to be around just because of their genitalia

and the crux of what this all boils down to is to stop looking at men and women as separate categories of human beings defined by arbitrary physical characteristics

we are all variations on a human being. we are a spectrum of presentation. having a penis or a vagina is no different a variation than having blue or brown eyes and says just as little about a person

because what a womans body looks like does not define her as a person
