Don't forget "exceptions to the rule" especially when bigots want to use that to invalidate transgender persons....are there resources on this?
I feel like a broken record because of how much I mention that intersex infants are ritually killed in multiple countries. NOBODY talks about it. Holy shit. One day I dedicated researching intersex specific oppression because of claims from people that intersexism is just misattributed transphobia. According to my research, there is documentation of intersex infants being abandoned or murdered in China, Pakistan, Nepal, and multiple countries in Africa. I'm sure it happens way more in secret too!
Sorry if this ask is inappropriate I just feel like you're an intersex blog with a fairly large following and I just need people to know this. Nobody talks about it.
Not a weird ask at all, it's actually infuriating that nobody talks about this. And then perisex people also turn around and say we don't matter because we're "rare", huh, I wonder why it seems like there's not many of us! Couldn't have anything to do with the systematic birth-culling or entire modern medical establishment trying to make those of us allowed to live look as perisex as possible. Definitely, we're just like unicorns. Naturally rare.

She fully didn't watch the segment because Jon did a very nuanced, thoughtful segment. He drilled down to kids just wanting to have a community and have fun.
What these TERFS are pissed off about is that he showed how disingenuous y'all are when you go "omg that trans athlete hit a ball really hard and it hurt a cis women" because when you look into it cis women even on their team hit harder then them. Because he pointed out that cis girls harm each other in sports all the damn time. He pointed out that when there was a bill to protect cis women athletes against sexual predators like coaches. Y'all decided not to pass that while passing an anti-trans bills all while claiming you just care about protecting women.
The problem isn't the construction workers who want to be compensated for their labor. The problem is the capitalists who hoard homes for profit.
The problem isn't the medical workers who want to be compensated for their labor. The problem is the CEOs who hoard medical care for profit.
Those who say that housing or medical care are a human right are not saying that the workers should be forced to work for free. They're saying that it shouldn't be hoarded for profit. If the only costs were the materials and labor, it wouldn't be anywhere near as expensive as it is now.
"The left" are always saying to tip your servers. "The left" are always saying to pay for artists with money and not with "exposure". "The left" are always saying that workers should be paid a living wage. Clearly it's not "the left" devaluing people's labor.
I'm very tired of this "queer college students should stop supporting Palestine, they'd kill you there!" I watched a hijabi ask a trans man, "but what name do you want to go by?" A butch giving a woman their hoodie so that she could keep her hair covered after the cops took her scarf. Muslim girls making sure the lesbian couple got through the system together. Religious men making sure purple haired protestors got out safe. I don't want to hear it. Solidarity forever, free Palestine.
What is old is new again.
I wish all these bastards a very Trial at the Hague.
