the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

btw this is maybe the single most key distinguishing feature of the terfy strains of radical feminism, the seed all the rest of it springs out of: they have absolutely no faith in the ability of feminism to actually destroy patriarchy. they do not think feminism can truly build a better world. they cannot really even imagine that possibility. they think patriarchy is an inevitable natural consequence of unchangeable biological facts, and therefore the goal of feminism can only be to mitigate the worst effects of patriarchy, not to get rid of it.

they can imagine a society where women get some designated safe spaces without men around. they cannot imagine a society where the presence of men is not inherently a danger to women.

can u see me? just checking,,

wow, for some reason, less than 4 months after she made her account, my girlfriend got silently banned off Tumblr! thats crazy!

i wonder what my black trans girlfriend did to get herself banned! oh well im sure there was a really good reason for it

this website is a fucking joke.

if you arent furious over this in light of the recent downsizing of tumblr's staff to about 25, then you havent thought yet about how purposeful you have to be to single out a single black trans person for being black and trans out of a userbase accounting for 300 million daily logins.

because of something existential that they dont like about her.

no email or anything by the way. no notice of deletion, she just attempted logging in and couldnt. there is no consistent terms of service to account for this, it is very blatant transmisogynoir for this to have come to pass.

im sure they could come up with some legal bullshit reason to cover themselves, but think about it. 25 staff. thats fewer people than a highschool classroom, as my other partner put it so well, and they still decided hers was the most dangerous blog on tumblr. alright man.

fandomification and shipping is fucking up how some of yall consume media and i mean it

a worrying amount of people wont give the time of day to a piece of media unless it has characters that they can ship. and like, im not saying shipping is bad or you cant be drawn to a piece of media because of its characters, but also it wouldnt hurt you to think about something outside of shipping and making incorrect quotes

Hey. Don’t give up. You still have pictures of telephone poles and radio towers to look at

when tumblr shutdown scares happen and everyone starts promoting sites that are way worse and shut down quicker

URGENT Please help a disabled trans PoC with no income get therapy/meds

My other post dwindled and hasn't gotten anything so I am remaking it... ;.; I am disabled and have no income, so anything helps! ;_; I currently live with my abusive father who abuses me constantly by making me cook and clean for him but doesn't let me eat, so this money also helps me stay fed! He also sexually abused me so it's pretty......bad here.

I would like to meet with my therapist and that costs 175$ per session: she is helping me get on disability as well as keep my meds in check as I have no help other than her! I haven't seen her in 5 months though... The goal might change as well since I might need to refill my antipsychotics or get medication for my therapy cat!

I sadly can't offer anything :( I used to draw but my disabilities makes it impossible to do so anymore... please find it in your heart to help me get out of this place <3

Also here is my therapy cat Amber as well <3
