YALL I WAS LOOKING FOR LIKE AN ANATOMICAL DRAWING OF THIS BECAUSE I WAS CURIOUS AND THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED SEND HELP

Was anyone going to fucking tell me that electric eels have their anus directly under their heads because their head is basically their entire main body and they're actually like 90% tail

Or was I just supposed to casually stumble across that information

To end sexism we have to accept masculine women and feminine men - fuck off terfs

“In the article, Lou treated the strife over trans inclusion as a call to arms for members of the gay community to combat sexism and liberate feminine males. He concurred with the gay community’s feminists that gay liberation should not only be about sexual liberation, but liberation from oppressive sex-role expectations as well. However, whereas feminists “[ had] done much to change the societal role of women,” there was not yet a comparable movement to change the societal role of men. 55 Lou encouraged feminists to ally with transvestites “to obtain changes in laws and in societal attitudes, promoting acceptance of both the woman who desires traditionally ‘masculine’ attitudes and the man who desires traditionally ‘feminine’ attitudes.” 56 For Lou, feminists denigrated (male) transvestites, yet both were engaged in a common endeavor to illuminate gender as a social construction. In “Looking Toward Transvestite Liberation,” Lou articulated concepts that would be popularized by Judith Butler and other theorists twenty years later—concepts that laid the foundation for queer theory. “The crux of the argument between the transvestite and the feminist seems to lie in… symbols,” or gender signifiers, which are bad when they “trap a woman into believing these symbols are her personality,” and that their loss results in her loss of identity. But the transvestite separates the symbol from the woman, and “uses feminine symbols to liberate himself from his sex-role stereotype just as the feminist uses masculine symbols to liberate herself.” 57 Furthermore, if women could truly detach themselves from the feminine symbols, transvestites would simply be establishing themselves as feminine men rather than being seen as furthering stereotypes of women. But first sexism had to be eradicated in order to allow the existence of feminine men.”

Hey there - If you’re interested in a future without climate change and investment in American communities, I would keep reading.

The Biden administration is one step away from approving project Willow, an oil drilling operation in the Alaskan Arctic. Its estimated that when burned the oil will introduce 280 million metric tons of greenhouse gases and other climate pollutants into the atmosphere in the next thirty years. To avoid the worst effects of climate change its estimated that global carbon neutrality should be achieved by 2050.

The Alaskan economy is increasingly reliant upon profits from private oil companies. The subsidies from projects such as Willow are used to build schools and roads. However, Climate change in Alaska has caused the collapse of the permafrost, leading to the decay of slope villages and disruptions to thousands of years old practices by native Alaskans, who use hunting and fishing to feed their families. Not to mention that an oil leak in the area would pollute these waters and lands, it would also be near impossible to repair under Arctic conditions. Instead of providing government support to Alaskan communities, the Biden administration is risking more damage to native communities and the environment.

to all my fellow trans people, especially to those of us who have been abused, know that it is okay to mourn the childhood we never got to have

grief applies here just as it would to any other loss. it is okay to deny your loss. as long as you do not live in it, denial can be a cushion until you ready to face your emotions. anger at abusers, at those who refused to see us as we are, at those who oppressed us, anger with ourselves, we are allowed to feel. guilt that we didn’t come out sooner, that maybe we deserve everything we went through, we all feel it, but just because we feel it doesn’t mean its true. bargaining in hopes to win back something we were never allowed to have is allowed too. many of us bargained with god on long sleepless nights to make us who we are. but we are already who we are, regardless if the people around us or god see that or not. it is okay to fall into depression. when you trapped in a body or a role or a house that doesn’t feel like your own for so long you are bound to feel helpless at some point. whether we can see them or not there are people in our lives who care. and we ourselves are powerful. stay true to yourself. its so easy to get caught up in the fear of what ifs. what if i never start hrt, what if my family never calls me by the right name. you are not alone. surrender to your higher power. trust yourself.

you will end up where you need to be.

elegy for a girl i once knew

sweet anna, it is time to say goodnight

your shoulders grew heavy in this short life

so rest now child, as i turn of the light,

close your bright eyes and let go of your strife

you may cry about the thoughts that chase you

whisper your anxieties and i’ll listen

whisper your sadness, and i’ll take that too

there is no shame in letting tears glisten

let us keep the creeping cold air at bay

i will tuck you in to keep in the warmth

so dream on, sweet anna, till the break of day

i promise you a restful sleep henceforth

when he calls you pretty

how only you are to him

no gender involved

[rabbottsworld]

moving at a fast pace through the yard

approaching the sound barrier

nearing light speed

she chases the

ball

excitedly

she waits for you to

toss it

frantically watching your movements

ready to run

in seconds shes off

embarking on the canine journey and

not so nimbly returning

devoted entirely to the game

it is so wild to me that people used to know exactly where their food came from. like. the wheat came from the jackson’s farm and was milled at old man johnsons stream mill. the eggs came from little sally and her family down the road. i milked my cow and churned the butter on the front porch. i kneaded it on a cutting board from my father in law who is a carpenter and baked it in a cast iron skillet thats been in my family for three generations. thats just crazy

[rabbottsworld]

my birthright

i dont see

you winning
