Btw the best design of all time was Fleetway's version of Amy rose where she was a butchy British dyke with a crossbow.
Absolutely and utterly fucking peak.
You simply cannot expect intersex people to constantly center perisex feelings and ignorance in their discussion. Yes, the H slur is an actual slur, even when used to describe intersex and cosexed animals. Yes, intersex people are oppressed. Yes, they're often medically abused, not "given treatment denied to trans people". No, they're not "biologically nonbinary" and yes, they can be any gender just like perisex people. Many "treatments" for intersex variants hinge upon not what is best for the person's body and needs but what will make them appear perisex. To imply any of this is false is intersexist and to try to center your own worldview and feelings in a conversation about someone else's lived experiences is selfish and equally bigoted. If you are not intersex, the discussion is not and cannot be expected to be about your opinions and worldviews.

Most black girls experience this hatred at schools. And classmates are not the only problem, there is no support from teachers, too. That’s why they get so affected by their school experiences. Black kids deserve to be treated just like everybody else, they want to study, they want to learn something ,too. However due to prejudice they are 5 times more likely to be suspended than their white peers and it can ruin their lives forever. National Women’s Law Center created this video to change the situation. Join the movement to help black girls feel normal and get the same opportunities everybody else has.
It has been hard for me to talk about how what is going on with Israel and Palestine is affecting me personally, but I grew up in Gaza and most of my family still lives there. My father did not survive the bombings last week and I have not been able to contact my younger sister in days. I am try to being understanding that most people do not have personal connections to what is happening and therefore are justifying their silence, but is heartbreaking to see this misinformation being spread. What’s happening there is a genocide, not a war. It is not antisemitic to support Palestine, it’s not even antiemetic to criticise Israel. There is no grey area or neutrality regarding this, and it is so easy to find resources that will educate you on the subject. It is my people and my home being destroyed so I will never be silent about this, but I please urge everyone to get informed and start speaking up and finding ways they can help.
decolonizepalestine has tons of information on Palestine’s history/propaganda that has been spread throughout the years
UK citizens can email their MP asking for a ceasefire
US citizens can call/email their local government officials asking for a ceasefire
Jewish Voice for Peace also has many resources for ways for US citizens to get involved, including protests
Donate to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund
Donate to Medical Aid for Palestine
Donate to help get food and hygiene kits to Gaza
I was raised by parents who, as far as I can tell, were not actually wild about having kids. They had us because they felt like they should. That was the normal thing to do. Big mistake, etc., neither of us really talk to them, but anyway.
The point is, my parents did not teach me life skills. I did not know how to change a tire or fix plumbing or even much simpler things. Learning to pump gas gave me MULTIPLE high grade public panic attacks.
But you know what? YouTube and the modern Internet are making life so much better these days. Get yourself a decent screwdriver (two—a Phillips and a flat head) and a hammer and a level, and you’re halfway to being functional and independent.
Over Thanksgiving our sink broke and YouTube taught me how to fix it. I am so grateful for this era.
