associating lesbians solidly and solely with transmisogynist radfems is exactly what said transmisogynist radfems want what are yall fuckin doing
As a lesbian trans woman, THIS. Pay ATTENTION.
Terfs are INVADERS in lesbian spaces. To the point they are literally having to take a move from their fellow fascists and recruit police officers just to be present at lesbian events which are openly welcoming of trans women.
Do not help them by saying that terf and lesbian are synonymous. That’s the line they’ve been trying to push for a long time now, and if you start treating the two as one and the same you are helping terfs. That is not an ally type action. At all. The proper response when they say this is to remind them that they’re not, and especially if you’re a cis/non-trans woman lesbian, PUSH THEM THE FUCK OUT OF OUR SPACES.
Anhedonia – not finding pleasure in things you normally take pleasure in – is a symptom of depression.
When depressed, you will also be reluctant to start things, and won’t find things appealing.
This sets up a nasty vicious cycle where ‘life feels bleak’ -> ‘nothing sounds fun’ -> do nothing -> don’t have fun -> ‘Hey I’m not having fun, life really is pretty bleak right now’ -> More depressed.
The way to break that cycle is to do things that you enjoy. Doing things solely for the sake of having fun is an important part of handling depression. Not only does it keep you from getting more depressed, but it can make you go ‘Hey I’m having a really nice day’ and give you bouncy energy to do productive things with.
I get so focused on all the things that need doing that I forget that when depressed, doing things solely because they’re fun is the practical thing to do if I want to get thing done.
There is a difference between procrastination and having trouble activating. If there’s a thing you need to do and you know you aren’t going to be able to do it now, do something fun, and afterwards you will have better odds of actually doing the thing.
If you find yourself in the situation in the picture, pick something that you are intellectually aware you would find fun if you were feeling better and start doing it.’ This means that you are focusing on something other than *sigh* and playing a game can make you feel productive, put ‘life is good!’ and ‘I can succeed at things!’ chemicals into a brain that is sorely in need of them.
A couple weeks ago when I couldn’t even find any interest in reading fanfic, I eventually managed to start playing a random RPG and felt much better a few hours later.
it occasionally occurs to me that pretty much all sj issues can be summed up as “don’t hurt people” with a sidenote of “you can hurt people on accident, but they’re still hurt so apologize and learn from it”
basically at the core of it, it’s similar to “if you bump into a stranger, apologize and try not to do it again”. And people not only debate it, but some go out of their way to bump into strangers and scream “Awww are you hurt?! are you crying!! did I upset you!!” as a weird hobby
also true of like 90% of what gets called “political correctness”
there is a difference between language that sugarcoats and language that is specifically designed to not hurt groups of people who are targeted all the time
knowingly using words that hurt them isn’t edgy, it’s mean
TERFs have done more harm to feminism than any other group within feminism because they are both the group most willing to ally with the right-wing in order to achieve their goal of oppressing and marginalizing trans women, and they are the group most likely to actually hate men in the sort of violent, over-the-top way that is often taken and used in propaganda by anti-feminists. They are simultaneously the group helping to open up rifts in the LGBT+ movement, and the group that openly says and writes things that clearly only help the reactionary right-wing build their propaganda base.
TERFs are harmful and only harmful. Trans women are women and I love all my trans friends. TERFs can fuck off.
As some of you may know, theres a map “””pride””” flag going around
What sucks more than pedophiles claiming to be lgbt is that lgbt pedos are mixing this flag with other identities. Heres the problem,besides the fact they are celebrating pedophilia and dragging the lgbt+ community down with them, the lesbian map flag has this color scheme
Look familiar to any one? That’s because its very similar to the nonbinary lesbian pride flag
The hues are slightly different and theres no white stripe in the nonbinary lesbian flag All i want yall to know is to be careful. Try to learn the differences so that innocent nonbinary lesbians arent accused of being pedos. If you have the nb lesbian flag in your icon do whatever you see fit to handle this (change it, keep it, this, that, etc. it’s your choice). Just a little psa for everyone out there so that you know whos what out there.
Please also be mad at director Rupert Sanders, the cis white dude directing Rub and Tug and who directed ScarJo in whitewashed Ghost in the Shell.
Please, be mad at them both.
This is the same asshole who slept with Kristen Stewart and then gets to call it “an exciting mistake” while she was crucified for cheating on her boyfriend. Blecccccch.
How does he still get jobs? Snow White and the Huntsman was a MODERATE success at best that made its money back but that’s about it; Ghost in the Shell was a critical and monetary flop, and now this looks like it’s going to be a steaming pile of garbage.
And those are ALL of his films! That’s his entire career! He was making ads before this! Who keeps giving him money?!
