“I can’t be a trans man on the internet” go the fuck outside then dude. Signed a trans woman who has had enough of your bullshit posts

I’m gonna use this ask to make a point.

Trans guys if you get an anon claiming to be a trans women that says rude/bigoted shit, don’t believe them. Transphobes have admitted to pretending to be trans women and sending bigoted asks to trans men.

If you get an anon ask saying weird shit claiming to be from a trans women - always remember anons can lie about who they are! 9 times out of 10 it’s just some cis person lying to paint trans women as evil bigots.

And everytime I see a trans man fall for the bait and start saying transmisogynistic shit I just sigh.

The BBC went out of their way to spread misinformation about Scotland’s hate crime laws.

They did this deliberately alongside right-wing billionaires Elon Musk and JK Rowling whipping their fans into a frenzy over it.

They apologise now, but the damage has been done. A sizeable portion of online discourse for the past few weeks has been on Scotland becoming a police state with a lot of Islamophobia directed towards Scotland’s first minister.

Scotland’s media should be absolutely gutted. It need a complete clean slate. There are far too many people with ulterior motives running the show.

children existing in public spaces is genuinely like. necessary for the continuation of society. it doesnt have to be your kids you dont have to volunteer at a daycare or whatever but you need to be able to tolerate the presence of someone who is learning how to exist as a human and interact with people

We are a small Canadian stim toy business run by two autistic women.

Many places that sell stim toys are focused on the needs and experiences of parents of young autistic children.  Here at FlappyHappy, autistic needs and voices are centred over caregivers.  Our goal is to focus on autistic adults since so many shops market towards children and it can feel infantalizing. Our stim toys are also great for people living with trauma, ADHD, chronic pain, anxiety, or other needs! We want you to know that it’s okay to stim. It’s more than okay actually! If you benefit from stim toys, then they are for you!

We carry a mixture of your usual stim toys but also more discreet stim items like jewellery! We also carry our own array of handmade items that you can’t get anywhere else!

It means so much to us if you share this post or otherwise spread the word about us.

We also offer free worldwide shipping on orders of $70 CAD or more.

I just think it would be funny to switch things up and lead with "popular far-right online blogger, Joan Rowling" once in awhile.

i make a lot of posts to the tune of "you're allowed to be horny btw" because it's becoming increasingly clear that adults being sexual in (clearly marked and blockable!) spaces is being stamped out and made out to be evil both legislatively and in the moral zeitgeist, especially among younger folks. not even in the "wait to be a horny adult online when you're An Adult" way, just an ingrained puritanical outrage response to *anything* that isn't chaste wholesome perfect all-ages allowed. it's unnerving and scary.

Hello everyone! I’m making a post on behalf of my friend, who doesn’t have a Tumblr.

She is a 2-Spirit Inuk artist who is fundraising to access vital medical treatment for chemical burns and resulting pain & complications.

She’s been struggling to receive accessible care in a racist medical system, and she needs our support.

Donations will also pay for transportation to & from the hospital for treatment, as well as basic necessities like her phone bill.

She was recently unable to pay and therefore couldn’t handle her medical needs because she had no access to a phone.

It would mean the world to me if you could spare anything to help her. I am sharing the link to her GoFundMe, as well as a PayPal info for direct donations. She’s in Canada, so if you’re donating from the U.S, your donation will even be a little more in CAD than USD!

People often apologize for donating small amounts, so please believe there is no amount too small. If everyone who saw this donated a few dollars, her care would be covered in full.

Donating directly to funds like this is an immediate and impactful action you can take to support an Indigenous person in your sphere.

Donate if you can, and please share this post. I’ll be reblogging it throughout the week for visibility.

Thank you for your support!!!! ♥️

"being queer is about love" hmm actually being queer is about defying societal norms about gender and sexuality and does not depend on feeling love at all

"When they talk about men's problems, they're always blaming women," is something I see often on here, and I can't say I agree. I think it's something to watch out for in these conversations, definitely, but I mostly just see this used to shut down anything that isn't 'us vs. them' thinking. Maybe different groups talking about "men's problems" do have wildly different agendas actually. Really though, applying this retort to transfeminist conversations in any way is frankly laughable.
