Living, being in the world, was a much greater and stranger thing than she had ever dreamed.

If JKR is willing to destroy every women's and girls' organisation and institution in this country in her crusade against trans rights, make her fucking do it. Call her bluff. Full juridicial kamikaze. Show everyone how much these ghouls really care about women's and girls' spaces.

Not so gentle reminder that Noah Schnapp (Will in Stranger Things) proudly showed on twitter some time ago a sticker with "zionism is sexy" written on it. Since the final season is coming up and the producers didn't fire him, let's not give it our time.

Still begging people to stop comparing real world horrors to whatever fiction novel you like best. We live in reality with real problems that have consequences for actual human lives. I need libs to join the rest of us in reality land.

You do not live in a book. You are not in a Handmaid's Tale.

An excellent write up on White journalists/people needing to know when to back TF up.

This is a complicated intra-communal issue and not for white weigh in

We were so happy to see everyone's enthusiasm for our project to reprint pieces from Bitch Media! We are all excited because we also loved Bitch just as much as you. It was a formative publication for many of us. So here's a thread of some of our fave Bitch articles.

SHAME these motherfuckers. Call them Nazis. Call them Gestapo. Tell them that they're the bad guys. They're not heroes. They're ruining lives. That's exactly who they are and what they're doing and we HATE them for it.

Not to be THAT dictionary, butโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s โ€˜per se,โ€™ not โ€˜per say.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜dog-eat-dog world,โ€™ not โ€˜doggy-dog world.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜hunger pangs,โ€™ not โ€˜hunger pains.โ€™
Itโ€™s โ€˜one and the same,โ€™ not โ€˜one in the same.โ€™
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

I know, I know, don't put your faith in celebrities, but what sort of mental gymnastics does one have to go through to justify supporting a TERF after starring in a kid's film with a genderfluid lead, based on a comic by a transmasc author???
