So you know how transphobes are always like “but chromosomes!” To deny trans people’s existence? I’m taking AP Bio right now and that argument has ZERO basis in science and here is why:

1. Chromosomes are highly compacted DNA that only look like an X and a Y WHEN THEY ARE BEING DUPLICATED. The DNA in chromosomes is too compacted to be used in that state. Chromosomes are sort of like suit cases, you put your clothes in their for ease is travel but it’s too inconvenient to actually get your clothes from there and a regular basis. So, the rest of the time they are just loose chromatins laying around waiting for their genetic information to be used.

So the concept of like “oh chromosomes define your gender” isn’t even based in reality when DNA isn’t even in chromosome form half the time lol

2. Ok so the transphobes are scrambling now. “BUT what about the DNA, that clearly defines gender”. Let’s set aside that gender is a social construct for a second. Yes, DNA does define sex. It also defines hair color, hair texture, eye color, freckles, wether or not you have a hairy liver, cancer, adhd, you get the point. DNA includes the instructions to literally EVERYTHING in your body. If you are going to say trans people are “breaking biology”, than I want you to criticizing perms, fake freckles, contact lenses, adhd medication, plastic surgery, GMO’s, insulin all the other products we use to alter our “biology” to make us life a happier more confortable life. Trans people getting surgery and hormones are literally no different than any of this other stuff. Yet I don’t see any effort by politicians to get rid of any information about plastic surgery, and perms in schools? I don’t see millions of clinics and hair salons being shut down by the government? I don’t see people with henna freckles getting hate crimed on the streets.

Because transphobia isn’t about biology. This is about maintaining the patriarchy by controlling trans peoples bodies and identity.

(Ps. Feel free to share on other platforms, and to copy and paste this argument literally anywhere. I’m so sick of the transphobes. )

Oof this hit my chronic depression

“Did you inherit a sickness? Did you blame god? Do you believe in God? Do you believe in yourself? Are you still on fire? Did you ever put out the fire?”

I am fragile. But I have fixed myself from the shards a thousand times before, and I will fix myself a thousand times more

I really hated this girl in my class and we kept exchanging notes with various threats of violence on them but then on a Zoom call I saw that she kept a bunch of them pinned on her wall with little hearts around them and I got the biggest crush on her after that.

Reasons to watch Del Toro's Pinocchio

Its stop motion

The stop motion was done by people who worked on The Adventures of Mark Twain

Its Guillermo Del Toro's passion project that he's been trying to have made for over a decade

It was co-written by Patrick Mchale who made Over The Garden Wall

The designs of not just Pinocchio but the Blue Fairy, the humans and the sets are incredible

The entire score was done in wood instruments

It satirizes propaganda and how it is used to manipulate impressionable minds

Its pretty fucking anti-war

It tackles themes of loss, death, war & abuse

It does not fuck around when it comes to mature subjects

We need more support for stop motion films, its a great animation style and has so much potential that we hardly ever see
