It is important to remember that the war on drugs, on trans health, on neurdiv, & on women's health are all connected. They are built around taking away bodily autonomy and excising anyone who doesn't meet the narrow conception they have of life as they've understood it since they were in diapers.
one of the main reasons trans healthcare moved away from strict gatekeeping and toward informed consent & GAC is that trans ppl who were denied the means to transition would simply seek it out elsewhere
What did you think would happen when you restricted access to care?

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

This sort of thing is why even though I'm a feminist I could never bring myself to be a 'girl's girl'. (Also I'm not a girl but people like the one Colin is quoting never seem to get that even when they're not openly TERF-y.)
Possibly the only thing more freakish than Nuzzi's prose is the contortions her defenders twist themselves into. "She's not just hot, but she definitely is hot, while also being a vulnerable smol child. Also, criticizing her is sexist."

One of the most heartwarming things about coming out as nonbinary so far is the response of my one cousin who was just like "oh yeah, checks out" and did not act like it was an incomprehensible concept at all! I'm so fucking used to having to justify myself.
