Your feminism is fake and pointless if it doesnt include trans and intersex people.

and yes, im talking about transfems, transmascs, nonbinaries, intersex trans people, intersex cis people, intersex cistrans people, people with xenogenders, people who use neopronouns, etc.

[angelheart-bunny]

people who deserve more respect and recognition:

intersex people

trans men

aromantic people

multigender people

people in qpr's

aplatonic people

IMPORTANT!!!

I’ve only seen like one person talk about this and it’s super important that this gets out there

Multiple punk symbols and sayings have been added to the FBI’s domestic terrorism guide

Things included are

The symbol for anarchy

ACAB and 1312

The three arrows pointing down in a circle

Eat the rich

Those are a few but it also mentions anything anti-fascist and anti capitalist

So if you live in the US please be careful

"Arizona’s ban on transgender athletes has been blocked by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which called the 2022 law “the essence of discrimination.”

Supporters of the so-called Save Women’s Sports Act claimed that the law protected girls and women in schools and colleges from “unfair competition.” However, the federal court found that pre-pubescent trans girls and trans girls on puberty blockers have no significant physical advantages over cis girls their own age, The San Francisco Chronicle reported.

“[The law] to ensure competitive fairness and equal athletic opportunities for cisgender female athletes cannot be squared with the fact that the Act bars students from female athletics based entirely on transgender status,” Judge Morgan Christen wrote in the court’s 3-0 decision.

“[The law] permits all students other than transgender women and girls to play on teams consistent with their gender identities,” Christen continued, “transgender women and girls alone are barred from doing so. This is the essence of discrimination.”

Two trans girls, an 11-year-old soccer player and a 15-year-old swimmer and volleyball player on puberty blockers, sued to overturn the law; 18 states signed court arguments in favor of the law, and 17 states signed arguments against it.

A lower federal court also ruled against the law, and the two court rulings against it can now be cited as a legal precedent to help other trans girls play sports. However, Arizona could also appeal the decision to be heard by an 11-judge panel on the appeals court or ask the U.S. Supreme Court to rule on the matter.

“A student’s transgender status is not an accurate proxy for athletic ability and competitive advantage,” said Rachel Berg, a lawyer with the National Center for Lesbian Rights who represented the two girls in court. “Our clients are thrilled to be able to continue to play on girls’ sports teams with their friends while this case proceeds to trial.”"

Why are people so against shifting language to be more inclusive?

"Ladies and gentlemen" should be distinguished guests/folks (or something else along those lines.)

"Men, women, and children" should be adults and children.

"Girls and boys/men and women" should be people. Or, if you must, girls, boys, & enbies or men, women, & enben.

"Brothers and sisters" should be siblings.

"Aunts and uncles" should be piblings.

"Nieces and nephews" should be niblings.

"Mothers and fathers" should be parents.

"Sons and daughters" should be children.

"Husbands and wives/boyfriends and girlfriends" should be partners.

"Masculinizing or feminizing HRT" should be T or E, or - if you want to be more specific - androgenizing, micro-androgenizing, estrogenizing, micro-estrogenizing, androestrogenizing, or micro-androestrogenizing.

"Transmascs & transfems" should be trans people (as transandrogynous, transneutral, transnull, transgenderless, transxenine, transoutherine, transaporine, multigender, and mixed gender people also exist.)

"AFAB and AMAB" should be raised/perceived as female or raised/perceived as male (as intersex people can be given reassigned genders after birth and/or socially imposed genders, meaning that they could be raised/treated in contradiction to what they were assigned at birth)

Why is it that, even in the queer community, binary concepts of gender and sex are still pushed?

(This isn't referring to your own personal connections. For example, if you have only aunts & uncles, saying "aunts and uncles" isn't wrong when referring to your own personal family. Its when you apply this as a generalized statement about other people that it becomes an issue.)

An Incomplete List of US LGBTQ+ Helplines

I just saw the news that the Trump administration is ending funding for The Trevor Project as a 988 Lifeline partner.

First and foremost, the Trevor Project is not shutting down. They can be reached directly at 1-866-488-7386, or by texting START to 678-678. What is shutting down is the ability to call 988 and be directed to the Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ youth lifeline.

However, I wanted to share the various LGBTQ+ helplines that I have bookmarked anyway, because god forbid one of these incredibly vital organizations DOES shut down, I want y’all to know what other support is out there.

Please feel free to add additional helplines in reblogs if I’ve missed anything!

LGBT National Youth Talkline. 800-246-7743. Open Mon-Sat
