love when a mother asks if they have ever done anything to hurt you. ma'am, you will literally never be ready to have this conversation
#!!!!!!#!!!!!!!!!!#!!!!!!!!#also (not to derail) but when parents are giving you the#you can trust us talk#“are we going to hurt you/ do we look angry”#that doesn't make me less afraid#it actually makes me so angry#and it makes me feel bad#and it makes it clear that you weren't listening#i don't care#if you aren't going to hurt me#the fact that i don't trust you isn't a slight against you#it means i don't think you'll do better

desegregate all sports now. no more gendered sports. its stupid
if you absolutely must, in primarily muscle force-based sports, create competitive classes like in boxing except separated by body comp, not just pure body weight. i mean, if you must. this will eliminate any tiny advantages in muscle mass. some will say basketball should have height classes but frankly some of the NBA's most impressive players were not tall so idk that this actually matters ever
the primary athletic impediment to all women is overwhelmingly cultural and psychological. i have won probably half the physical competitions with cis men that i have engaged in, friendly or otherwise. even without the benefit of a lifetime of people trying to make me throw or hit balls, i have won wrestling matches, sparring matches, funny backyard foam sword fights, video games, equestrian activities, dance, endurance tests of various kinds, etc. i'm small and weak. men think theyre stronger and more skilled than they are, women think the opposite about themselves
humans just arent that differently-sized or -shaped, as a species. we have almost no sexual dimorphism at all compared to the vast majority of other mammals.
animals that have similar levels of sexual dimorphism to humans, for example cats, dogs, and horses, do not generally have competitive events segregated by sex. the dog agility trials dont normally have separate leagues for male and female dogs (gendered competitions exist they're just unusual). because it doesnt matter. there is no kentucky derby 2 just for girl horses. thats not a thing
remove all gendered categories from online shopping websites and universalize clothing and shoe sizing. im sick of having to search two entirely different sections of ebay when im just trying to find a nice velvet loafer in size 39 EU. what the hell is "women's clothing"

“trans people in sports is such a complex issue” it really isn’t. make the sports skills-based instead of segregated by gender. “ohhh but so many people’s lives depend on their sports for scholarships” okay then let’s make university universally funded so people don’t have to worry about paying for it based on how well they can throw a ball. how are you not keeping up

woah did anyone else see that

Please donate to Eslam family!
“My name is Eslam from Gaza, I’m 29 years old, and I’m a children teacher from Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip. a mother of two daughters, Hanaa 5 years old, and Alma, 10 months old. My husband Rasmi is the director of 3 language and training centers. In this war, our house was completely destroyed and razed to the ground, and my husband’s centers were blown up. He lost his job, and we were completely displaced, and we are now homeless and jobless, My two young daughters constantly suffer from diseases due to malnutrition and water pollution.
Danger and death surround us all day and all night. We have lost everything and depend on donations to survive and, most of all, to have any hope of escaping this genocide and evacuating to safety in Egypt. The cost of daily living continues to rise significantly in Gaza - imagine that we cannot find the type of milk for our daughter because of its high price. There is no kind of detergent and this is the cause of skin diseases for my two little girls. We bought a piece of soap for $30! ، and detergent is 100$"
As of 8:46pm November 11, 2024 (GMT+8) $31,955 raised out of $50,000
vetted: bees and watermelon spreadsheet #175

Please... Let's stop the assumptions that autistic people who show their symptoms are unmasked.
It's such a gross and harmful take to assume that every autistic person who shows their symptoms actually has a choice in it.
If an autistic person can't mask or can't mask well, then it's not unmasked. And quite often, a lot of those autistics are trying to mask for you and it is never seen or appreciated.
A lot of us aren't our authentic autistic selves just because we show symptoms. Many of us know how we come across and we can not help it, no matter how much you hate us for it.
We're held back by our own disability and people have the audacity to assume we're purposely doing that. That we're proud and happy to be like that.
If you're an autistic person who can mask and you ever see someone who is clearly showing autism symptoms. Please, never assume they are unmasked. Unmasked does not exist for many of us. Unmasked assumes that we have a choice in it. Claiming we are unmasked will only hurt us and yourself more.
