are you telling me americans have stores that open up SPECIFICALLY for halloween and just. dont exist any other time of the year. you people are insane
you HAVE to expand what your mental image of what a woman looks like in order to progress past trans/misogyny and intersexism. when you finally accept that "woman" does not have a set look or sound, you free yourself from the chains of both patriarchy and radfem ideals. "woman" does not mean thin, pretty, hairless, short, quiet, large breasted, hour glass figured, weak, submissive, high voiced, or small.
women can and do look, act, and sound like anything. cis, intersex, trans, butch, non binary, gender non conforming, detrans, or anything else: any woman can look, act and sound like anything. we are just as diverse as any other member of this population. in order to acknowledge this, we must let go of the concept that a woman "should" look, act, or sound like anything.
Please stop and listen to our painful story and help me save my family
Help me get my father and mother out and secure their lives
“The tent was their only shelter. Its winter wall was made of threadbare fabric that did not protect them from the cold or the summer heat. Inside, they lay on a thin mattress, two beaten corpses. My father and mother still suffered from diabetes and high blood pressure. They woke up every day to The sound of chronic pain and dreams that relax with every breath.
Annual reminder to please not tell "young looking" trans guys/transmascs to "appreciate" not being seen as even close to our actual ages?
No it's not cool, flattering, or something I enjoy. I don't want to be handed a kids menu at almost 24. I don't want to be ID'd 10 times in the same night at the same establishment, I don't want people to refuse to see my ID because I "must not be even close to 21". I don't want people staring at me and making comments seeing me a smoke a fucking cigarette because they think I'm 13.
I don't want to chat with a random 50 year old drunk cis guy about youth
I don't want some random group of middle schoolers chatting me up and telling me how I look even younger than them when I tell them I'm a full ass adult
If it wasn't to the point that I've literally almost been denied service or kicked out places multiple times? Maybe I wouldn't be so mad. If It wasn't to the point that I feel ashamed and embarrassed because of other people being weird? Maybe I wouldn't be so mad.
Lemme remind you all that the definition of 'queer' is literally 'odd'. Queer was and still sometimes is used as a synonym for 'odd'.
Gays are queer.
Lesbians are queer.
Bisexuals are queer.
Pansexuals are queer.
Nonbinary, genderfluid, agender and other genderqueer people are queer.
Intersex people are queer.
People who use neopronouns of any kind are queer
Transgender people, transfem or transmasc, are queer.
Asexuals are queer.
Aromantics are queer.
Aroaces are queer.
It doesn't matter what a person's sexuality, romantic interests or gender is. If it's not 'the norm', they are queer. It's the definition of the word for God's sake!
