I Really Like The Way This Was Worded. Human Compassion Is So Important. We Were Learning About Authentic

I really like the way this was worded. Human compassion is so important. We were learning about authentic leadership in my leadership and policy class yesterday, and my professor made a big point about how good leaders are deeply aware of how they think and behave and how they are perceived by others. Understanding the way we communicate can have a big impact on what audiences we reach, and the end message of this post is especially resonant to that point, that the rights of one women are the rights of all.

So someone I won't name has been reblogging posts from me and tagging them as "Why I hate trans people" and commenting things like "I will die before I support trans people" and while I'm uninterested in having an unproductive argument with her, I wanted to address this on its own because it's important.

I do not hate trans people.

I really truly mean that. I'm not trying to bend for the TRAs or whatever, that is my genuine real belief as a moral person. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the energy. I hate trans ideology. I hate the perpetrators of trans homophobia and misogyny. What I don't hate is the average trans person though.

I don't hate butches who were pressured into he/they. I don't hate gnc girls who see transition as the only acceptable way to be themselves. I don't hate girls with body dysmorphia who got swept up into this movement without a care for their own well being. And I don't hate gay men who work as transgender sex workers to survive after being kicked out. I use the word terf sarcastically since it's flung at me so much but I am not actually trans exclusionary. Trans people are included in my feminism. And even in the case of males who are not included, they're still included in activism I care about outside feminism. I still care. I want them to have safety and rights and to be free from violence and homophobia. I am not a one issue gyn. Due to echo chambers and brainwashing most trans people have no idea about most of the terrible stuff trans ideology leads to and don't realize they're wrong or hurting anyone. When we're online, constantly exposed to this horrible stuff that's usually hidden over and over again, it's easy to forget that most people who call themselves trans are just people with mental health issues who don't know any better, especially TIFs. So I will not die before supporting a trans person because TIFs are a part of my feminism too, and I genuinely believe most would not support this if they knew it was happening and were not so thoroughly brainwashed. Not most as in most you see yelling at us on tumblr or twitter. Most as in most in the real world offline.

So if you're genuinely here because you just hate trans people, and not because you love women and love liberation and freedom and human rights? I'm not with you. We are not on the same team. I am anti-trans ideology because I am pro-woman, because I am pro-LGB. It comes from a place of love and anger for injustice. If your main concern is that you think literally all trans people are gross dirty perverts obsessed with raping and killing, and that none of them deserve help or understanding or even human decency, you found the wrong blog. I was once one of those people before I learned, and it took a long time and a lot of work to overcome the conditioning. This is a hill I can and will die on.

Okay, so I can actually explain this!

"OR26A is the genetic SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) that makes cilantro taste like soap to some people: bitter and excruciating — almost painfully metallic and horrible."

Basically, if you think cilantro is bitter and awful, its not your fault. Cilantro does not taste like that to the rest of us and I am very sorry that your genetics prevent you from experiencing it's deliciousness.

Cilantro is gross, ya'll are just out here making up fake science to justify the fact that you like a little Irish Spring sprikled on your food.

You're fucking wrong oh my god i cant believe you'd come into my inbox with this cilantro slander

Sorry but I just had to look this up after seeing this post and omg it got a THIRTEEN percent on rotten tomatoes. And that was the audience score!

I’m watching that fucking Music movie by Sia

pray for me

PCOS & Gender Survey 2021

This year's PCOS & Gender Survey is now LIVE and is expected to be live until July 4th, 2021

This year, there are 2 versions of the survey: one for participants diagnosed with PCOS, and another for participants with ovaries that do NOT have PCOS

To participate in either version of the survey, respondents MUST be 18+ and have been born with female reproductive organs (because this is necessary for a formal diagnosis of PCOS)

The links for each version of the survey can be seen below:

[Link] WITH PCOS

[Link] WITHOUT PCOS

This post will be queued to post regularly for the following 2 weeks; if you would like to avoid seeing the reposted version, please blacklist the tag "#2021 survey"

I know I say this all the time but seriously if you’re a radfem you need to gather with other radical women. It’s vital for you and them. Maybe you can only make it to one gathering, a festival, maybe start a meetup. Maybe it’ll only be 3 of you there, but it’s something and it really changes everything.

You’re not alone and you don’t have to be. Connect. Gather.
