- every day we come closer and closer to this meme becoming a prophecy
- imagine if tumblr hadn’t warped an entire generation’s sense of selves to revolve around being pathologically obsessed with diagnostic labels
- it's insane to me that people think that taylor swift having a trans man in her music video is .... queerbaiting........ as though he's not....... a man
- i wish people would stop treating me like i am being overly paranoid/overly cautious about this virus when we’re approaching 300k deaths in the u.s. and it’s only going to get worse??? it’s totally disconnected from reality to NOT be overly cautious about the literal pandemic
- tbh i will never understand why some writers hate being edited bc every time i'm edited by a good editor i'm like "so true bestie" 90% of the time
- i’m happy for eddie izzard but also remembering when ppl on tumblr used to call her transphobic for referring to herself as a “lesbian trapped in a man’s body” instead of maybe thinking for 2 seconds about the reasons why someone might describe herself in that way
- our struggles are linked is not just an abstract statement
- no one “deserves” to get covid no matter what choices they’ve made and it feels weird that this still even has to be said
- im starting girls hbo and i kind of feel like a lot of White Women talked shit about this show bc they felt called out lmao
- the fact that this tweet is how i found out about putin is too much lmao
- it is very well-documented that this did happen to a male celebrity and his name is brian wilson🔴Pop icon Britney Spears is battling to overturn her father’s conservatorship. Her ordeal triggered the movement #FreeBritney. “But the uncomfortable truth is that this would never happen to a male celebrity”, writes Tanya Gold Thread 👇 telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/…
- i don’t know how to effectively convey to cis people that the anti-trans movement is a fascist one that is advancing terrifyingly fast and that its aims and impacts will not be limited to trans people
