Unintentional bigotry is still bigotry.

Well-intentioned bigotry is still bigotry.

It is 2023. Writers with massive literally Disney-funded budgets have a moral obligation to hire sensitivity readers when they are writing about minorities that they are not a part of, as the absolute bare minimum requirement for allyship.

It's 2023. We are talking about one of the longest running shows to exist. You do not need to couch every single criticism no matter how light or deserved with assuring cis people you're not *really* mad because you know they mean well.

Cis people are going to get mad no matter what. It is not our responsibility to placate their feelings when we are criticizing transmisia in a show with a massive budget in 2023. Unintentional bigotry is still bigotry. Well meaning bigotry is still bigotry. It's 2023. This is Doctor Who we are talking about. With a massive budget. Wrestle T Davies is not doing his best if he is injecting biological essentialism into the story in a way that literally contradicts all of the rest of the intended themes of the episode. If he were doing his best he would have hired a sensitivity reader or you know, just straight up let a trans person write the episode.

Instead now millions of cis people all over the world are going to have "x-presenting" terminology to fucking throw around and misgender people with and we're all just going to have to fucking deal with this shit now.

It's only been a day and already the fandom is absolutely inundated with this fucking bigoted terminology being used as something you get to casually assign to other people, or as a synonym for AGAB, and it is nauseating.

when i was a kid i wanted to be a famous youtuber like dan and phil so that people would gay ship me with my irl best friend and we would be sooo weirded out by it and laugh and make videos joking about it but secretly it would make her realize her repressed gay crush on me and i'd help her through her gay crisis and then we would have a sickeningly sweet sappy romance and read fanfiction about ourselves together... anyways just found out she's married to a guy in the mafia now so i probably don't have a chance

No single line has ever wrecked me as hard as this one from the Good Place and I think about it constantly

I just love the idea of Lucifer having to deal with this fucking guy every time he wants to see Charlie

intimacy between an evil spiteful building-sized supercomputer and the lone scientist left behind after everyone else ditched and forgot about her (in which computer wants to kill scientist really bad but her programming wont let her so she just attempts to make her as miserable as possible instead, which also doesn't work because scientist is a freak)

leona kingscholar why do you do this to me....

one important thing that Must be understood about interpersonal relationships is that you have to stop interacting with people who love you like they’re one slip-up away from leaving you. you have to trust that the ppl you love mean what they say. you have to believe that when they say “this hurt my feelings,” that they’re also saying, “can you please love me this other way next time?” and you have to wrap your head around the fact that even if you don’t understand Why someone loves you, you can accept that that they do. true, honest, & open love does not function like hp in a video game !!!!!!

I was talking on the phone to my mother earlier about how it looks like I'm possibly heading into very early perimenopause, and she agreed that was likely seen as how she had her last kid at 38 (same age as me) and then immediately went straight into menopause. Her body just shut up shop like no thank you, we are not doing that again.

And I was kinda joking with her like, wow, must be nice to have not had a period for 36 years, and she kinda laughed, then said, "Yeah. Except for that time when it came back when I was about 50," and I was like oh, wild, I didn't know about that, what did the doctor say and she was like, "Doctor?"

And that's when I had to be like, what do you mean you never went to the doctor when your period randomly came back after 12 years????

"Is that bad?"

Is that... MUM.

Anyway. I spent my afternoon explaining to my 74-year-old mother that you're not supposed to get your period again after you hit menopause, and if you do, it can be a warning sign that something else is going on, like a fibroid or cancer, and she should probably go to the doctor. Which, good news, I guess, she's already going because she's had a pain in her stomach for a while.

How long?

Oh, y'know. On and off. For about twenty years.
