I Wonder How Long They'll Push It

apa, the ticworm

Apathetic worm

giving bigots ANY power will cause very-hard-to-remove damages to every single minorities rights. its like were climbing a slippery pole, where theres segments on it, and the segments are what group is in the medias view and currently getting the most rights. but the thing is, we cant just stay at one spot on the pole, if we try, or we try to go lower on the pole, we will just fall, and if we dont try to stop falling (and climbing further) we will fall all the way to the bottom, when women could be legally raped and anyone that isnt white were slaves. affecting one persons rights is affecting everyones rights.

I've never seen a bigger example of rich and miserable. She has nothing better to do than be a straight white woman that feels entitled to every space.

"I stand for women's rights... except those asexual ones because according to me who doesn't even identify with the community, they aren't real even though asexual women speak on the challenges they face and hardships they go through, but because I'm a straight white women I feel entitled to every space!"

Like fuck off. Anyone who agrees with her fuck off. If you think you're a feminist for supporting this behavior your not. You don't stand with a miserable rich woman who feels like attacking random communities at different hours of the day. That is not what a feminist does.

She and her supporters can kiss my natural black asexual ass 💋

well its fake oppression because when jkr oppresses someones rights, its feminism

the fact j. k. rowling called international asexuality day, "fake oppression day", is just an obvious example on why asexual, and aromantic, people are oppressed

"40% of trans people try to commit suicide so you shouldnt be trans" ahh pseudo-science trans study

If you haven't seen the new anti-trans report that RFK and the Trump administration just put out, I recommend you don't. It's as bad or worse than you think it is. Worse than the Cass Report (which it cites 149 times in its 400+ pages).

It's fully of pseudoscience, cherry-picked half-truth, outright forgeries, discredited doctors, and cites multiple opinion pieces by some of the loudest, most vile transphobic pundits in the country - such as Jesse Singal and Abigail Schrier a total of FIVE SEPARATE TIMES EACH - in addition to liberal institutions like the Washington Post Editorial Board which were committed to "just asking questions.

The report is claims to be exclusively about trans children and says it will not deal in transition care for adults, but it does so frequently and has entire section dedicated to it. At times it baselessly claims that transitioning results in harmful or poor outcomes for trans adults as a statement of fact with no citation to back it up.

It tries to explain away any improvement in trans people's lives as us just being unable to know ourselves due to inherently deceitful nature and inability to judge our internal well-being.

It sites underemployment, increased social and familial discrimination, and higher suicide rates as a direct outcome of transition related healthcare, not as outcome of an inherently hateful and bigoted society.

They are setting up not just banning youth care, but adult care as well.

It's bad. It's very, very bad.

holy shit "the emperor has no clothes" is so fucking accurate, even more specifically were living in the joke version of that story where everyone also follows his fashion

(bassicly its an h. c. anderson story about a king that has a pair of clothes makers come and demand hefty price for a piece of clothes thats invisible to stupid people, and when the king sees that... well he couldnt see it he got scared thinking he was stupid and bought it. and the king wore it with pride, and everyone knew that it was invisible to stupid people, but only when one little kid piped up and said "but the emperor has no clothes" and well, there was no clothes, the emperor was in fact naked).

the story is about the fear of looking stupid sometimes over-rules the need to point out that the emperor has no clothes (that the president has no power to break amendments) [even when you're "high class", smarter], but we DO need to point out when the emperor has no clothes, because thats the only way we keep him from going around town naked.

oh yeah and the "joke version" of it everyone followed his example and took off their clothes as well to follow his fashion, which is even more accurate, but more in a comedic sense.

Can anybody give these old-ass Democrats protest lessons? They're acting like they're still living in pre-2015 politics when the GOP gave a shit and wasn't deranged.

A member gets up and starts shouting: All get up and shout with him.

Don't walk out: MAKE them carry you all out, not shutting up the entire time. I'm serious, go limp, be dead weight.

Putin's Puppet says a provable lie: Everyone chant "LIE" in unison for a solid minute instead of holding pitiful little signs in front of a man who can't read above a 3rd grade level.

Have someone who knows ASL sitting with you, interpreting everything in full view.

If you're gonna hold signs, make them BIG like you're actually trying to do something. Have them in multiple languages.

Make other signs that say clever or cutting things that will make him rage for days. "DOESN'T OLD TRUMP LOOK TIRED?" or "PUPPET PRESIDENT" or "EVERYONE IS FACT-CHECKING THIS SPEECH TRUMP DIDN'T WRITE" or "THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES" or his current tanking approval rating next to a laughing emoji.

Make a stink every day in congress, throw as many bills as you can on the floor even if they go nowhere, look like you're trying.

Have someone, idk maybe someone you actually want to boost for President in 3 gd years, be your voice of opposition in the media, loudly complaining and telling the facts, every single day. Let the people know you're there!

How hard is this? There's probably better suggestions than mine if they actually hired seasoned protestors or behaviorists/psychologists or even the biggest teenage troll they can find on a messageboard.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. So fucking act like it.

what the transphobes say "a man might dress up and pretend to be trans to hurt trans people, and thus we should just kick the trans people out from the beginning"

what they mean: "a transphobe might rape someone and pretend theyre trans, and thus we should further hurt this minority whos already been damaged by the transphobe and already have a damaged reputation from the rapist"

also why is it that someone who isnt a part of a group, and does something bad, should make the group bad? like thats if the 9/11 terrorists pretended to be from an airline administration, and then people blamed that airline administration

we should just randomly switch elon and jk rowlings pronouns, yk, for the funnies

its always funny when people say "lgbtqia+ is based on sexuality" because like dude the only ones that even include sexuality (and are commonly used) is just LG and B, like three of them. And even then, asexuality IS about sex in-normativity, being about not having sex. Just like how the world was straight sex themed back in the day and people were homophobes, the world is about sex themed and people are acephobes, or even transphobes (because oh that isnt based on sexuality). Like lgbtqia+ is just a group of groups whove been hated due to something they cant control, and isnt hurting anyone.

the more I get back in my habit from 2018-ish of searching "asexual" on blogs before I make a habit of interacting with them frequently, the more I realize that a lot of people started to reblog way less aphobia circa 2018, but without literally any sign of their opinions on asexual people changing, or making any effort to include them.

and that's how we get the current tumblr climate. people doing a disservice to important stuff like sex positivity or kink at pride, by just regurgitating shit like "well sex is what makes us queer, you fucking prude." instead of, you know, actually talking about why sex positivity is important for a wide range of sexualities, or why kink at pride has a long historical context. or even bringing up the fact that policing/mocking people's relationship with sex just for being different than yours is just inherently bad in and of itself. the aphobia is still ingrained in this site, just subtler now.

no. fucking. way.

IM DYING HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

this is actually good evidence for what im saying

"the gays are punishing wrong speech!" also them:
