How fucking dare you
I fucking hate that Tweet that's like "these women in Mexico tried to burn down the Presidential Palace and then a few days later the government gave in and legalized abortion," it's so insanely condescending for you as someone from the US to look at the (massive and militant!) Mexican feminist movement and their decades of life-threatening work and be like "they rioted once and then their problems were solved"
That's not what happened at all! The photo going around with that Tweet was taken at an International Women's Day protest, months before the Mexico City abortion protests! They didn't just show up one day! A national court ruling decriminalized abortion but it is still illegal in much of Mexico, and activists are still fighting for it right now!
Yt women want to be the number one victims at all time soooooo bad, don't they. Women of color--especially black women in the past 2 years tried to warn y'all, just like with EVERYTHING they suddenly want woc to 'help' when oppression finally affects them. Now all of a sudden, we get shit like this:
Straight up making it seem like other protests for the lives of black people meant nothing, the protests of the lives of Asian people meant nothing, advocation of immigrants and so much more--oh that's nothing to themed! They never cared. They are making the overturning of Roe v. Wade all about them, get woke points and sympathy.
TUMBLR STOP SHOWING ME THIS MAN
in the tags write if you stay in pjs/sweats or get dressed even if you arenβt leaving the house
biphobes are like "It's disgustingly misogynistic to base a woman's entire identity around men/her relationship with a man and assume that all things she does is for men and that she has zero identity outside of the men around her. but it's perfectly fine to do that to bi women of course β€οΈ"
I'm not gonna lie I'm not really a fan of when people who aren't bi make slutty bisexual jokes unless it's with friends who they're comfortable with like that is. a thing that we are stereotyped for and it is actually a thing that makes people hate us and puts us in danger. so.
I want to boost everything this person has said and add on.
The reason I call myself a tomboy now, despite it being seen as a childish word and having had someone swear at me over it because βtHeReβS nO suCh thInG as BoY thInGs anD giRL thIngS sHut uPβ is because I couldnβt call myself that or be like that when I was a kid. It was seen as a negative thing and I was already bullied enough. βLooking like a boyβ was the worst thing that could happen to a girl.
And Iβm not even 26 yet. We arenβt talking 30+ years ago, we are talking 2000s and even 2010s. Itβs only since trans people have become more accepted in the past few years that gender nonconformity has too.
And the people who helped me accept my gender nonconformity more than anyone else? Were trans people. They taught me, βthereβs nothing wrong with how you feel. Youβre still a valid woman no matter what you wear, how you have your hair or what youβre into β€οΈβ
And donβt even get me started on how people treat gender nonconforming men. JK Rowling has a lot of nerve to be like βuwu boys can wear dresses and only us gendercrits accept that!β when she has, even in recent works, made femininity in men a negative trait, as well as making masculinity in women a negative trait also.
A lot of people still donβt accept gnc people even now. Just last year I had someone tell me theyβd never let their daughter βdress like a boyβ, and Iβm always terrified to walk into a bathroom in case the next JK Rowling is in there, sees my gender expression and pepper sprays me or worse.
βThereβs no such thing as boy things and girl things.β I donβt need to be told that and Iβm sure 99% of trans people also donβt need to be told that. Tell that to the society that hates us both instead of actively encouraging that hate.
