SVG is such a crazy image format because it's like, that's a document actually

it's a godsend sometimes yea

sorry for posting this I'm going to go take a nap

Picture of a crab pinching the nose of a man using it's claw

“are you AMAB?” “are you AFAB?”

bitch I am A CRAB (pinches your nose)

it’s very weird how people talk about “male” and “female” socialization as if these are moral failures or virtues when they are in fact violence that children are subjected to

Okay actually, I just just quickly edited that post and added the website www.removepaywall.com to my list also because news publishers took down my beloved 12ft.io 😭 really don’t like how the internet is just a series of walled gardens these days lol

Debuting a new re-occuring thing on my website where I just post links to insightful, provocative, or interesting articles or other stuff I find online vimlena.neocities.org/posts/202508...

a DOGE staffer tragically beaten by inhabitants of the Down With Cis bus

Screenshot from the infamous Tumblr Down With Cis post saying "Here's a thing that happened to one of my friends. I was there."

one of the funniest parts of that original post is that it literally prefaces the story with this, which honestly elevates the entire thing

AGAB language went wrong when it drifted rhetorically from describing a social process ("I was assigned male at birth") to describing a quality of a person ("I am AMAB").

Just saw someone say they use "AFAB" to mean "those perceived as women" and if that just doesn't give the whole ball game away

A desi woman at a protest, framed by rainbow flags and wearing a red saree, holds up a sign that says "Hijras Are Women". It is the cover image for Talia Bhatt's essay "The Third Sex", subtitled: "'The Gender Binary' is a misnomer; gender has always been a hierarchy."

After months of research and painstakingly connecting the threads of transmisogyny theory, queer activism, and field-wide epistemic injustice, I would like to present "The Third Sex": my treatise on a third-world transfeminism.

brb I gotta go bake the genderbread person. we’re gonna eat them for dessert

Understanding Transmisogyny, Part Four: Penetrability How a society so singularly fixated on the phallus manages to be so, so very unsexy.

Today, I finally commit to paper a concept that has become increasingly central to how I conceive of and discuss radical feminism, so as to better facilitate the comprehensiveness of future pieces (like 'Epistemic Vandalism', still in the works).

So let's talk about penetrability.

ariana grande is wearing bunny ears on her head and says `` it 's equality '' . Alt: Animated GIF of Ariana Grande saying "it's equality" and doing a gesture. She has dark makeup on and is wearing a black dress with her hair tied up and is wearing bunny ears.

We Need James Tiberius Kirk In That Cute Little Outfit Now

Broke: women in Starfleet wear tights, dresses, and gogo boots while men wear trousers and shirts or jumpsuits

Woke: women in Starfleet adopt typical men’s uniforms indicating that they are equals

Bespoke: everyone in Starfleet wears tights, dresses, and gogo boots indicating that they are equals

Yeah I've noticed this too, kinda wild how stan culture seems to have propogated in fandom spaces. We got a bring back the idea that criticism is valuable because it indicates that you care enough to engage at a deeper/ more committed level and you wanna see the things you like improve tbh

To all our cis so-called ‘allies’, THIS👇 is what being an ally is really about.

It means saying ‘No!’.

It means being prepared to stand up to the harassment and the hate, even at personal cost.

Dukat: Don't dismiss hormones. They are real and they are powerful.

Dukat: Don't dismiss hormones. They are real and they are powerful.

especially considering that many of those aspects aren't static and can be changed intentionally or not. this should be something that's seen as a strength and inspires wonder at how neat our bodies are, not pathologized and coercively modified or minimalized to fit a simplistic worldview

it's actually really cool that we can't pin down one single consistent aspect of biological sex that clearly and distinctively indicates a strict male/female binary in all humans without exceptions because of how much biological diversity there is. we should be celebrating and admiring this

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

“World Athletics asserts the SRY gene is a reliable proxy for determining biological sex. But biological sex is much more complex, with chromosomal, gonadal (testis/ovary), hormonal and secondary sex characteristics all playing a role.”

Sex testing is not only invasive, it’s also inaccurate.

no problem, thanks for taking the time to read it!! I was worried about it being too long-winded but I'm not great at being succinct lol

I wrote about Jules Gill-Peterson’s recent essay ”Reject Transgender Liberalism” because I think she made some points but I feel like there’s also some things to criticize vimlena.neocities.org/posts/202508...

the problem with letting democrats backslide their support of trans rights whether it be trans in sports or using bathrooms is we’ve seen “compromise” in the UK labor party. they gave into “reasonable” TERF demands and it destroyed the labor party and all rights for trans people

what's missing from legal discourse about trans rights is the understanding that medical transition for some isn't just a preference or suggestion but something we *need* to do. it's not something that can be ignored without potentially life-threatening consequences, it's required for our well-being

liberals will always side with fascists given the chance because they fear communists far more. liberals sided with hitler, liberals sided with mussolini, and every CIA backed fascist regime received support from liberals because they believe they personally will be fine under fascism.

the show intro seems to suggest they are full of meat and cats, who can say
