Can confirm, it did be like this.

"Boob jobs and hair implants are also gender affirming care lolol I am dunking on TERFs so hard rn"

And I can't wait until these freaks find out that the reason I'm against 'gender affirming care' is exactly the same reason I'm against all cosmetic surgery: it's highly risky procedures, in an unregulated profit driven medical field, whose only purpose revolves entirely around enforcing gender roles. The reason I can't wait is because it'll be a lifetime and then some before they figure this out. These weirdos simply cannot fathom the idea that TERFs know what gender is, know that boob jobs are 'gender affirming care' in exactly the same way mastectomies are, and we simply think that gender is a social construct; thus a poor reason to get invasive, irreversible and often life-threatening surgeries over.

the thing about “well-behaved women rarely make history” is that the author, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, didn’t write it about women who would be considered “badly-behaved;” she wrote it in a book about a midwife, about women who had been largely ignored and erased from history because as a result of their “good behaviour.” So it’s not a “BAD GIRLS DO IT WELL” kind of quote; it’s a reminder to respect and pay attention to the women who go about quietly living their lives.

ever think about how men used to be pretty ripped just from like doing manual labour and playing a Saturday sport and they wore cute little shorts. but now the only men who are ripped are vain gym freaks and they look weird and everyone else is out of shape and ugly. and both sides have equally terrible personalities

the internet is just a collection of proof that men do not see women as human. we are nothing but sex objects to them

Half this website is fully spouting paedophile beliefs while thinking they are being radical and queer

The thing about being radfem is knowing the actual number of people voicing support for your beliefs is so small but the number of women who would secretly agree with 90% of what you're saying is literally astronomical

And that it matters fuck all whether they mean it when their intent makes no difference to the girls who are targeted by that behavior.

i have zero empathy for little boys being misogynists. i was a kid too, but my focus was towards drawing and reading, not hating on minorities.

Another fun variation of Step 2: if the teenager there against her will says she is fine and doesn't need to talk to a therapist, just believe her! Now your schedule is 1 patient less busy.

created my very first zine about my personal experiences being in and out of the carceral psychiatric system. printable version under the cut:

more collectivized female resistance. we are so strong together.

Inferior relative to my long term goals. I did not intend anything classist or to say there are cut and dry measures for comparing one university to another that would be useful or relevant to everyone. Every school will have its pros and cons, so I appreciated how she sifted through the pages and pages of online information to find the relevant points I used to make my decision.

My mom helped me find colleges with robust programs in my area of study, professors who could help me get to the next point in my career, and undergrad research possibilities. The college I went to also had unique study abroad programs, and the one I did supported my trajectory. On top of all that, there was a nice scholarship I ended up winning (she would have been seriously pissed if I hadn't taken that at that point). Those all were factors that made the college a superior choice for me over somewhere that did not offer the major I wanted, had no connections to the industry I wanted to go into, or offered little by way of student support. People have also called it a party school, which is usually meant as an insult (and it kinda was a party school, and I enjoyed some of that, but people who put down universities for being "party schools" are not about the rich and balanced study-party lifestyle they can offer).

Can't say why I would have gone to a different school that was less suited to getting me where I wanted to go, but shit happens. I was a stupid teen and could have made a stupid decision.

Protect Trans Kids…from a society that wants to turn them into lifelong medical patients before they’re old enough to consent
