it's funny because women in the middle east will be beaten and/or killed for letting their hair show, are constantly shown propaganda from first grade about how they need to cover themselves and be modest and docile if they don't want to end up in hell with other scum, expelled from high school/college or forced to abstain from participating in important exams if they speak out against the government, have poisonous gas cans tossed into their schools as an intimidation tactic, are made to feel bad for having working mothers, and generally live in a country where not only they but also people of other genders are, majority-wise, in a state of poverty in comparison to the western world, yet still continue to be calm and powerful.

and first world women (whether white or black) will weep at seeing the stupid barbie movie and think that THAT'S the pinnacle of women's rights. like, that is PEAK self-centred ignorance.

i don't think that the western world is some kind of perfect utopia for women. i understand it has its own flaws. but you can't possibly expect me to believe that people there understand just how bad things are here. in fact, considering the fact that growing up here has taught me a lot of important facts, i'd say it was a vital experience.

heed the tags.

as a HUGE swiftie, it makes sense that her private jet use is criticized because it is a valid argument, its simple

too much jet = pollution = bad for earth

bringing a different celebrity into this saying "oh but they're so much worse" why thank you kind person that fixed the environment :)

like listen i absolutely love her and would defend her everywhere but i know when someone i admire needs to be held accountable for their actions

and like for all we know about this (which is nothing) her team may already be considering alternate methods, maybe they can't follow through right now because of what would happen if she flies commercial yk? like idk people would say she's being disruptive in the airline? or if people find out which flight she's flying in one of the crazy swifties would show up there? because let's face it she gets stalked like CRAZY (her friends' weddings, people showing up at her house, so many more instances)

none of this means it's okay for her to opt for private jets over other methods, obviously, but what I'm saying is that while she should consider alternate methods that are safe for the environment, flying commercial would not be best for her given the history

all that being said, i believe that her private jet usage is something worth criticizing and there is nothing wrong in wanting somebody, even a celebrity you like and support in many occasions, to do good by the environment

i never said she should fly commercial. the logistics of that would be a fkn nightmare for her team. and the private jet use is also fine but like there has to be a certain limit which shouldn't be crossed. flying to xyz location for a concert is fine. but flying multiple times within a couple of days just to attend your boyfriend's games is not you know? she can just face-time him before to wish him luck or something. 🤷🏻‍♀️

coming back the next day to my blog terrified of reactions and yea I worry this will get swept under the rug and be made into a non issue

ok. im going to make this post but i REALLY shouldn’t but i just am so devastated rn and need to not be alone in it and you guys are the only people i can talk to candidly about moving stuff rn for a lot of reasons. the reason im crying rn is because i just found out i made a massive error in my budget and it turns out that my net pay is barely over minimum wage and i cannot afford to live by myself. at all. unless i live off of savings in addition to income but even then that’s only going to help me for a couple months and anyway it’s extremely unwise bc i should save that money for getting a car etc etc. this is not entirely a bad thing because a) at least i can afford to… you know… live. and b) living with roommates will not be bad especially if i live with friends and/or strangers i come to be friends with. it’s just i really… i don’t know i just feel so sick to my stomach. it’s just that recent events have made it so clear to me that i need to teach myself how to live independently before i can live with other people (let alone function in the world, heal from trauma, etc.) healthily. i know it so deeply. and it can’t happen for me. this is confirmation. this is confirmation and there’s nothing that can change it. rent is too high (even for shitty apartments in the area which let’s be real most of them are… it’s too high!) and over half of my income is going to taxes and deductions and bills and student loans. i feel so hopeless

Many people have been wondering about what the difference is between transgender and transsexual, and in my viewpoint, the difference comes down to what you're comfortable with claiming.

I personally think that the difference can come down to the perspective you have about your transness. For me, I claim transsexual for myself because I view my sex as changing, not my gender. It doesn't have anything to do with what I've done to transition, and honestly, that's nobody's business but my own. I think the same goes for every trans person.

The way you define your transness can look radically different, and that's okay. What matters to me isn't if you're doing things "right" and get approval from every living being on earth to use the label you use. What matters is that you find language that describes you best.

call me crazy but i don't think you need to be a martyr to be educated

I'm seeing a lot of videos and articles about the riots going in France... are you holding up alright?

I have the privilege of not being "personally" in danger bc of the police being shitheads (I come from a 'basic french white family') but it is surreal to see how Darmanin and the police are treating the population and seeing the country slowly go up in flames / get closer and closer to a police-armed dictatorial state... There's so much wrath and rage and fear in me. And a lot of thoughts for the people who are directly in danger in all of this. People who didn't ask for shit and just happen to have the 'wrong looks' in a state that is so so fucking racist it makes me want to puke.

this is not directly related to prev but just thoughts bouncing around in my head a lot lately but i feel like especially when it comes to LGBT conversations we so directly conflate 'experience' with 'privilege' that its become very difficult to point out when someone's opinion is flawed by virtue of missing some of the former without implying they hold the latter

[sn4kebites]

the whole “ugly privilege” convo is interesting as someone who is conventionally unattractive AND a hijabi but i think calling it a privilege is a crazy thing to do 💀 like it’s certainly not

like its true that i experience significantly less unwanted male attention in public and i tend to mesh in the background which is in a way nice since its one avenue im not a target of harassment most of the time. its rare i feel especially in danger when im alone even at night

but its also like so inherently dehumanizing to interact w men outside of that so calling it a privilege is insane anfnaj

also like. my situation is a little different because i was actively seeking out sexual exploitation but in many aspects me being ugly didnt seem to stop men from being aggressive w me / harassing or coming onto me unwarranted for sex if the opportunity arose lol
