Things the media doesn't talk about... People have begun to fall to the ground, not from bullets or shells, but from hunger. That a young man loses his balance in the middle of the road because his stomach is empty. That hunger is ravaging immunity, stealing strength from the bones, and extinguishing the light in the eyes. That you curse the world every morning, and along with it this hunger, you curse the helplessness and the impotence in your hands. And no one listens... The enemy rules the siege, the world rules the silence, and the media is preoccupied with matches, races, and cartoons; not with the intestines of Gaza that are being ravaged by hunger. I won't tell you, viewer, to let me live in your house, and I won't tell you not to eat so you can feel us. I'm only saying from my heart, which only has a few days left and will never move again, that you donate anything again, anything

She would not fucking say that. Yes she said that in canon, but I perceive a greater truth unaffected by her writer's misogyny

people are literally so boring a male character will kill 10000 people and steal candy from babies and theyll be like omg thats my king! but a female character is rude once and theyre like i hope she dies violently

greta was time's person of the year a few years ago. she was adored by all liberal world leaders and parties. and when she learnt about people's struggle under occupation and colonialism, she stood in solidarity with them . she now stands with palestine and armenia and kashmir and every oppressed person in the world. she could have been rich as fuck by simply remaining as a climate activist. yet she chose to do the right thing. i love her for her integrity.

as a black queer I have seen non black queers paint me in a "aggressive" and irrational light and I realized this is going to happen for the rest of my life so I try my best not to tweak out. I do believe the queer community has a MASSIVE fucking issue with racism/anti-blackness

there is such a massive double standard queers of color have compared to white queers, especially from other POC queers. when I bring up race it's often dismissed as

"dividing the community" or "we're all oppressed"

I learned I need to have patience and resilience so I stay alive.

I do want to note that the whole "women are allowed to dress masculine and wear trousers" thing needs to be viewed in its historical context:

People fought for generations to be allowed to dress that way. They fought hard to be allowed to wear pants. Blue jeans were a symbol of feminist revolution. Women were barred from workplaces and schools for wearing them.

This is not some a natural fact that women dressing masculine is less shocking and humiliating. That normalization was fought for and hard-won.

And yet so many people erase the struggles of those people who fought to make that happen and pretend that it's just normal and natural that people don't see women "dressed like men" as ridiculous.

The Marriage of Figaro has what's called a "breeches role" which is a woman wearing men's clothes playing am ale role. This was done partly due to the vocal range requirements, but in many cases it was done comedically. It was risque and sexualized or comic relief that a woman was dressed as a man.

Anti-suffragette posters mock women wearing pants - well they were bloomers and split skirts back then - and mocking more masculine cut styles of clothes. This was meant to portray this as ridiculous.

They mocked the "new woman" in Weimar Germany, lamenting that they were too masculine.

This is a political cartoon from the 1920s depicting a woman in masculine dress deciding which bathroom to use:

Sorry but you're erasing these struggles and flattening history when you say this shit.

Women were killed and institutionalized in the struggle to make this happen. It really fucking bothers me the way it's framed as "people just don't find it as weird when women dress masculine."

Yes they fucking did. Until women and transmasculine people fought for their right to wear what they want. It's normalized because people struggled to normalize it.

And it's not normal everywhere. There are many countries where it's still illegal for women to wear pants. Sudan, Saudi Arabia.

Even in the US, it's forbidden and considered ridiculous in groups like the FLDS, the Amish, and the Hutterites.

We are flattening and erasing the struggles of women when we say these things. I know we're trying to build theory here but you can't build solid theory on a foundation of lies.

We all love the “becoming the very thing you sought to destroy,” trope. but I have a growing fondness for “destroying the very thing you sought to become”
