Better be a faggot than a fascist.
This isn't exclusive to misogyny, by the way! It's a pivotal feature to the expression of bias and discrimination within interpersonal relationships.
The experience also compounds the more ways your existence intersects with a minority status. A disabled Black woman, then, will be refuted and doubted by ableds, men and white people.
This also creates more places for lateral aggression to arise. The stress of not being heard pushes people to intracommunity policing. The hope is that sticking only to the "right" words as a group will reduce discrimination. Discrimination isn't something the target brings upon themself, though, so it never quite works.
wait im curious actually reblog this with how old you were when undertale came out (september 15, 2015) i want to feel really old
if you call a nonbinary person cis bc they don't perform androgyny to a level you approve of i'm omw with a big hammer to shatter your kneecaps
Also, if you call a genderqueer person cis because you don't understand their complex relationships with genders you owe me your kneecaps for my dog and your liver for my cats.
And if you insist that a cis person has to be trans because they're gender non-conforming and don't like having gender roles forced on them then I'm gonna turn you into compost.
if you call an intersex person anything other than the label they personally identify with, I’m on my way with a label gun modified with nails to crucify you with “asshole” stickers
im so fucking serious when i say that no one is crueler to visibly disabled people than girlies with blue wolfcuts and sharp eyeliner wearing hundred dollar sweaters from shein.
like. there's a weird misconception that it's old people, but i have never once had an issue with anyone over the age of, like, 55. they are fine with me muttering to myself or making weird faces or not hearing them the first five times they call my name. that's not a problem for them. when my brother goes out with a cane, they're the ones who compliment it, and tell him the spikes and ribbons are a cute addition.
yesterday this pink haired girl in the bathroom told me that i needed to stay away from movie theaters if i was going to act like a schizo. ten minutes later an 80 year old woman complimented me on my bright red hearing aids and said she wished she had that confidence when she got hers.
anyways to the anon who just said that maybe i shouldn't be in public spaces. thank you for proving my point
a very important addition.

ALTSince July is Disability Pride Month
(as opposed to every other month when we're all demure about disability rights /gentle sarcasm)
I wanted to highlight one of my favorite artists: Liberal Jane.
They are not as high-profile as the WGA, but I would like to bring everyone's attention to the imminent strike action by thousands of hotel workers in Los Angeles. They are set to go on strike tomorrow, July 1st, 2023.
More than 15,000 hotel workers are seeking higher pay, better benefits, and working conditions. This includes an across-the-board $5 an hour raise, as well as affordable healthcare and better pensions. They also are seeking a ban on the use of E-Verify, which is used to deny employment to undocumented workers and workers involved with the criminal justice system. You can follow what is happening at their Twitter.
Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is... drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren't joining this site anyway, you're not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.
Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can't keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You'd kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.

Hey, I found a beanie boo that I liked the design of but I can't stand those giant uguu eyes. Do you think it would be possible to replace them with smaller safety eyes akin to the old beanie babies? If yes, do you have any advice?

I was gonna answer this in a normal way, but then I got curious about trying it for myself and thought I might as well demonstrate!
So, I went and picked up a guy from the supermarket. The selection there was pretty barren today but I found a decent test subject:

im so glad you linked that breakthrough study about pcos because i was TODAY years old when i learned that its just genetic and not necessarily caused by just ovarian cysts or high androgens because i have neither and i was so confused about it bc my doctor didnt explain how i was able to have pcos without those. thats so interesting and insightful! especially that amab and intersex people amab can also have the same genetic condition that causes the same symptoms. i feel like everyone diagnosed or suspecting they have pcos have been kept in the dark about it for so long but its good that new insights are coming through. sex is so weird and cool lol also funny to see transphobes having freak outs about biology being more way more complicated than they couldve ever imagined. good to always be learning more

I know this is an older ask that I forgot about (sorry) but I’m posting it because I had a radfem really mad on the referenced post about the study that I dared imply that “males” can have cysts on their ovaries. So, say it with me everyone:
You can have PCOS and not have polycystic ovaries, it is not diagnostic criteria.
You can have cystic ovaries and not have PCOS, because ovarian cysts have many causes including high levels of androgens, and high levels of androgens can be caused by a large number of things. I have a cystic ovary and I do not have PCOS. I do have high levels of androgens and likely that is the cause of my ovarian cysts.
The breakthrough study discovered that PCOS is of genetic origin and cis amab men (and, by extension, all people born with natal phallus and not ovaries) are capable of having PCOS because the “polycystic ovary” part of the name is a symptom, not a description of the diagnosis. The insulin-resistance, hair growth, male-pattern balding, weight gain, acne, and associated cardio and metabolic symptoms are all symptoms of PCOS and it does not matter if you are a man or a woman because you can still be affected by everything else even if you don’t have ovaries because it does not seem like the ovaries are the cause.
The study in question, dug out of my archives.
