"It doesn't help your credibility to exaggerate, most employers wouldn't literally work you to death" like, I used to work in distribution. If booking a truck driver for back to back shifts until they fall asleep at the wheel, crash, and die counts as being worked to death, I have personally met employers who've worked employees to death and gotten away with a slap on the wrist. It may not be universal, but it's a hell of a lot more common than a lot of us would prefer to think.

It's really great that so many people are abandoning the word hermaphrodite in zoology, but now we have a new problem. That being the misuse of the word intersex in its place.

Referring to cosexed animal species as intersex perpetuates the exact same misinformation that the H slur does.

What misinformation would that be? The idea that intersexuality is anything similar to the reproductive organization of cosexual species like snails and worms.

Intersex refers to a variation-from-typical in the sex traits of individuals. Examples include calico cats with male reproductive organs, humans with ovotestes, does with antlers, bilateral gynandromorphy, etc

Cosexual refers to a species that had dual reproductive function, such as snails, worms, leeches, etc

These are separate and unrelated things and it is ACTIVELY HARMFUL to conflate them. The H slur conflates them because it is a word originally used for intersex people being applied to cosexual animals. Directly calling cosexual animals intersex DOES THE SAME THING.

People on this website will really mock anti-vaxxers and flat earthers for ignoring scientists and getting their alternative facts from facebook, and then turn around and insist they know more history than historians and more archaeology than archaeologists because they read an unsourced tumblr post once

I have reached a point of financial stability that I never dreamed I would ever reach. I can now walk into a Taco Bell and order whatever I want. Never check my bank account before ordering. Do you know how long it to me to get here? How much I make an hour to achieve this level of luxury? Soon I will be making $30 an hour. That's what it takes. That's how you can get whatever you want at Taco Bell. $30 an hour. That's fucking disgusting.

Imagine a world with me. A world without christianity. A world where missionaries are outlawed, where all bibles are recalled, where every church is repurposed into a transgender sex dungeon.

I think mostly what young fandom types (and I guess younger people in general) who are very very invested in the idea that “20 is still basically a minor” need to understand is that the feeling of “I’m just a child pretending to be an adult, and everyone else around me is a REAL adult” is DEEPLY universal (and won’t stop, ever, by the way, sorry!) and also is not, like, praxis.

Believe me, I get it, but the self-infantilization needs to stop, especially when you’re trying to engage in conversations about actual children and the harms they can face. Yes, it is scary to wake up and realize you’re 22 and you still feel like you’re 15, but it happens to all of us. You’re an adult. You have to deal with it.

Cary Elwes is known for WHAT

Ted Cruz is a fan OF WHAT

WHAT NOW

I don’t know about anyone else, but I, as a trans woman, do not know what it is to be a man. I know what it’s like to be surrounded by men, to be picked apart by them, to have masculinity enforced on me and to have my femininity degraded. I know what it’s like to be targeted for punishment, physically and sexually, for my femininity, for a girlhood the boys and men could see in me, to be queerbashed, to have my head slammed into hard surfaces, to have my genitals fondled, to be injured in all kinds of small and repetitive ways with things like pens, compasses, and so on.

I know what it’s like to be assumed to be a man, and to be abused because I am not. I know what it’s like to be separated from my female friends as a young child because my status as a ‘boy’ meant that I needed to be placed with the other boys, the ones who degraded me and hurt me. I know what it’s like to be beaten and burned. I know what it’s like to have teachers make an example of me because I cannot conform. I know what it’s like to be made afraid of being around other people, because people means abuse.

But I don’t know what it is to be a man. Even after everything they tried, I wasn’t one.
