How are you calling trans women misogynists when you’re out here in the streets referring to cis women as having “egg-producing equipment” like a human trafficker in a 90s Law and Order episode

this is going to be a challenging year with just this struggle alone

A digital drawing of a maneki neko with a candle wick on its head. It’s flipping the bird and holding an upside-down framed picture of a cute devil in a frame with cracked glass.
