i get why a lot of trans men/mascs reblogged the op's post and probably felt validated by it but the wording, while not specific, implies cis men. saying "let feminine presenting men be men" about cis men is not the hill i'd die on. some people in the notes were like "so now it's bad to not misgender people?" that's not what the post was criticized for.

explanationpoint hit the nail on the head as to why this genre of posts can be really reductive. hearing "you can still be a man even if you wear makeup/dresses/etc." is going to hit way differently for transmasculine and transfeminine people and it's easy to forget that as a transmasc.

I think it's important to let guys be gender non conforming without telling them they're a girl, cause actually misgendering people is still shit even when you are pro trans. "You're a girl, an egg waiting to crack, and that's ok" how about you are a boy and a man and it's still ok if you want to do something that doesn't align with traditional ideals of your gender. You can still be he/him in a skirt and makeup.

i love ExplanationPoint’s content. That’s it. move on with your day.

how could anyone not

[thebrightestwitchofherage]

!!! This

@explanationpoint um have you considered that this is nothing like the us?

Like the user before me has said, Palestinians were allowed to enter for work . Jews on the other hand are not allowed in the West Bank/ Gaza for security reasons.

This isn’t a racist anti-immigrant policy like in the US. There is an actual threat.

by the way, Egypt has the same border and policy with Gaza. A worse one.

More on how Anti-Zionists use the word "hostages"

There are no "Thousands of Palestinian hostages held by Israel". Please stop spamming every post about the 98 Israeli hostages currently held captive by Hamas with bullshit like this.

Cmon, we all know this is just cheap dog-whistling and wring, considering that there are 98 Israeli hostages held in Gaza right now. Anyways, here are some facts: Israeli news outlet Ynet just made an initial report on this matter, I'm transcribing it to English and will provide any additional detail if provided. Israel's supreme court demanded the state to provide information on how many Palestinians are held under custody in different correctional facilities. There are currently 3,464, and 151 were released for various reasons. The update was provided due to a petition by the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel

Why are they held captive? The majority of them are Illegal immigrants & felons, and many are terrorists. That's it. That's extremely different from being kidnapped from your bed for being Jewish after seeing your family slaughtered.

( dax explanationpoint vc ) sup nerds, i’m hyeran’s scattered, shameful mun jules and my laptop’s on the verge of death so i can’t give a proper intro for jinri rn since my charger’s being held hostage by my extended family, but i’ll give you a quick summary !!

she’s shit. 

yeri baby, angel, sweetheart, i’m so sorry JGSLFDJDFSG but basically she’s your resident cherubic con artist who’ll go to a house party to steal someone’s dad’s meds to sell for some extra cash, calls it a business rather than theft, might even take his viagra to fuck with the kid that’s late on his iou. uh, her parents don’t know and think she’s still their golden daughter going through a minor rebellious stage while on the other end of the country ( that minor phase was rly when she was seventeen and fucking a dude in his late twenties to get some discounted pot, went downhill from there lmao ). as you can see she’s kinda the opposite of my sweet baby hyeran so.. this’ll be fun or hell, haven’t decided which yet GSJFKDL

Alright! Question time!

  1. Current favorite song? -My favorite song will and forever will be Bohemian Rhapsody.

  2. Current favorite band? - I'm horrible with music and singers and stuff like that... Heck, I didn't know who Adele was until like, months after she became popular... So I don't have a favorite band.

    3. What shows are you currently addicted to? - Nothing, surprisingly! I'm really into Sherlock, I guess, and I really want to finish watching Hannibal... I'm looking into jumping into Doctor Who randomly next season too. But I don't really get "addicted" to anything((excluding the Internet heh)) If only I watched Breaking Bad so I could make a good drug joke out of the wording of this question, however...

    4. Tacos or burritos? - HOW DARE YOU MAKE ME CHOOSE. But burritos, usually. I would like the tortilla. But I would put tortilla chips in my burrito because I like crunchy too~

    5. What is the scariest movie you've ever seen? - Grown-Ups 2 was the scariest thing I've ever had to sit through. The real terrifying part was that somebody was actually paid to write and produce it. ((I don't watch many scary movies))

  6. Can you moonwalk? - I don't have enough money to go to astronaut school.

  7. Is your hair straight, curly, etc. - Wavy, but I straighten it.

  8. Who is your least favorite Harry Potter character? - I'm going to be burned at the stake for typing this, but kinda quickly read the series just to read the series and I barely remember a lot of it, to be honest. So I'll go ahead and say my least favorite character is Wormtail. On the grounds that he acted like a pedophile, sleeping with an unknowing boy for all those years.

  9. You can only listen to one music genre for the rest of your life. What is it? - Ancient Mayan ritual chants

  10. Taken or single? - Single. I'm not taken, and for that I'm glad. I don't have Liam Neeson as my father, so he can't rescue me.

  11. What movie are you most excited for in 2014? -UHH. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT MOVIES ARE COMING OUT SO LET'S JUST SAY HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2.

~~~~

  OKAY COMPLETELY SERIOUS QUESTION TIME.

  1. If you had a choice between being able to fly and being able to find ten dollars on the ground every day for the rest of your life, which would you choose and why?

  2. There's two people who look and talk exactly like your mother standing in front of you. They both claim to be your mother, but only one is telling the truth. You have a gun and you have to pick one to kill. You can only ask them one question before you must choose which one to kill. What would be the question you choose to ask?

  3. Do you want to build a snow man? ((I haven't even watched Frozen yet aww shoot son that sad fact about my life depresses me))

  4. If you have five peanuts in one hand and twenty three decimal point seven apples balanced on your head, how much time do you have left before the rise of the anti-Christ?

  5. What is your favorite movie and what is the movie you will SAY is your favorite movie because your real favorite is all too embarrassing.

  6. Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

  7. What is the most hipster-ish thing you've ever heard somebody say out loud, and what is the most hipster-ish thing you've said out loud.

  8. *stereotypical air-headed girl voice* OKAY, so like, Bachelor Number One, I like, am TOTALLY into chop suey! It's like, my FAVORITE FRENCH DISH. I'm high class like that. *pops bubble gum* So, yeaaah, so if we like, totally went out on a date, what kind of restaurant will you take me to and why?

  9. You wake up in a room. Your hands are bound and you're tied down to a chair. It's dark, and smells oddly of urine and other body fluids. The walls are dripping with some unidentifiable liquid, and it makes them look as if they're crying. There's a sudden buzz, and you jump in your seat. A door opens. A figure straight from some gory horror movie walks towards you. It's wearing all black, but has on a white mask that you recognize from the Saw franchise. Your heart speeds up, and it continues to frantically beat so hard in your chest that you are sure you will die of stroke before dying of whatever unfathomable torture this- this THING has planned for you. "Hello," You can hear the twisted smile in the distorted voice, and you can imagine the cruel, stone cold eyes bearing down on you from behind that eerie mask. "I'd like to play a game..." The words are breathed out slowly from behind the costume, and you dare not to even breath. The figure begins to pull out... SOMETHING from behind its back and your brains screams out in fright, begging you, PLEADING you to not, please, please for the love of God DO. NOT. LOOK. but your eyes betray your mind's better nature and your mouth opens in a silent scream of terror and horrified as you see, you see... The dark figure sets down a monopoly board on a table in front of you and sits down. You catch a glimpse of its soulless eyes from under its mask and you choke back any sound that would show weakness. Your captor taps gloved fingers against the metal table and the sound echoes quietly, sinisterly around the room. Then it speaks again. "Let's play." .... How would you react to the following situation above?

  10. What is your favorite animal? :D :D :D

  11. Quickly, if I wrote a book would you still love me after I killed off all of your favorite characters and ships off in horrible, TERRIBLE ways?
