"wait, but what do I say to describe people who cannot get pregnant?" a guide.
Men cannot get pregnant: INCORRECT. Transgender men are men and many are capable of getting pregnant. Also, excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.
Cis men cannot get pregnant: INCORRECT. Intersex men who are technically cis, but have uteruses and ovaries, may be capable of pregnancy, even if it's unlikely. Also, excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.
Cis perisex men cannot get pregnant: Correct, but excludes the plenty of people who are not men who cannot get pregnant.
People without uteruses cannot get pregnant: Correct, but excludes infertile and menopausal people with uteruses who also cannot get pregnant.
People who cannot get pregnant: CORRECT. Excludes no one.
To use inclusionary language, you don't need to rip through the reeds in search of wider terminology when you could quite literally say things exactly as they are. Inclusive language isn't "overcomplicated" at all. It's straightforward.

Things cats were right about all along:
Fuck staying hydrated by drinking enough water - eat! more! wet! food! (watermelon, cucumbers, SOUP!)
Feels great to be really high up in your house where you can see the whole place (loft bed loft bed loft bed loft bed!)
Express yourself as clearly as possible when people are touching you and you don't want them to.
Optional, but you can also express yourself clearly when your people are not touching you and you want them to.
Sometimes it's important to just go "hmm. actually, I don't care" and wander off.
You don't have to be the strongest or toughest to defend yourself, it's enough to just be difficult enough to not be worth the trouble.
Ghosts will eventually leave if you stare at them for long enough.

why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?
And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.
#despair is propaganda#if you cant rally for a cause whatever but dont try to discourage people who are fighting it

One thing I really like about Beverly Engel's book It Wasn't Your Fault, which is about PTSD-induced toxic shame, is that quite a bit of it deals with people who haven't broken The Cycle of Abuse (TM) and have gone on to hurt others. That's a really underserved and vulnerable patient population, and statistically, it's also MASSIVE. I don't think I've read a single other self-help type book on PTSD and self-loathing that confronts the possibility that you're exactly as bad as you think you are.

did you really compare not liking incest fetishists with the lynching of Emmett Till or is that just a bullshit lie someone made up because it sounds too outlandish to be possibly true
this is what's known as reductio ad absurdum. I had a post talking about how the social ostracization campaigns against trans women for alleged sex crimes/pedojacketing/general "sexual degeneracy" shit are bad, and someone commented about how no real harm comes from these instances of harassment, so I replied with how "trans women are predators" fearmongering does lead to very direct violence, and how trans women are not the only group this has historically been used against, and talked about how in the US black people have been painted as sexual predators to justify violence against them, citing Emmett Till as an example.
Now, it's hard to drum up hate against someone talking about overlapping systems of oppression that, while not equivalent, have similarities in their histories that are worth looking at. But if you contract someone's point down as short as possible and replace each element of it with the most inflammatory thing possible, subbing in "incest fetishists" for trans women, and treating any discussion of similarities between different forms of oppression as "she's devaluing racism by comparing it to X" then yeah it sounds ridiculous.
At the end of the day, the people who do this sort of thing want to undermine any discussion of transmisogyny as unserious, so they do everything in their power to obscure what's actually said and make the most ludicrous strawmaid in its place. We see this time and again and again and again
