Intersex activist and model Roshante Anderson joined me in conversation at @Blavity News, where we discussed the limitations of the gender binary, radical self acceptance, and, of course, Pride 🌈 — watch the full interview on Blavity’s FB live or my IGTV (@ danieb_)

WHAT?

Me when my friends tell me im gna find the man of my dreams one day

Homophobia along with other stigmas associated with bisexuality such as STIs and infidelity.

I mean, at the end of the day they just don’t want to date a man who’s been with other men because they see it as unnatural and/or emasculating.

It's not as viral as the image of agents whipping Haitian migrants on horseback, but the Biden DOJ lawyers in fancy suits who decided to appeal this landmark immigration victory--so they could return thousands of people to cages--are every bit as violent. https://t.co/Nnu8300bUZ

Lord, bless your good and faithful servants Kid Fury and Crissle because they were absolutely correct about that Casamigos

[A Left-Wing Account ™️ @PushDemsLeft]

Let's check in on how the Israeli occupation is using your tax dollars that Biden is giving them...

[Alex Press @alexnpress]

I wrote about Halyna Hutchins and the corner-cutting on the set of Rust. All of the film-industry workers I spoke with emphasize that this is not just about gun safety—it’s about producers’ prioritization of speed and profit over the lives of crew members https://t.co/nq0Zfk7Fkk

Don’t forget how her and Angela Rye also defended convicted rapist Charlatan Tha God

[K-Ci’s (ooh yeah) @frodeci]

She def tried to discredit Samaria Rice in defense of Shaun King like four months ago

In 2021, I’ve come to doubt that it’s a fundamental misunderstanding— and instead is just intellectualized transphobia

[rocket juju🚀 @juliacraven]

What I dislike most about this piece, & works like it, is the fundamental lack of understanding about systems of oppression. They aren't mutually exclusive & the same patriarchy that cracks down on women—cis or not—is the same force fueling transphobia. https://t.co/m1Tv9Udvqv

[Marshall Mathers @ItsLona_]

No but seriously, I encourage anyone to quit wherever they aren’t happy but have an exit plan. Bc having no exit plan will have you in just another phase of anxiety

[☀️ @WickedWellYes]

The girls have definitely rebranded their desires to be patriarchy princesses under the guise of “divine femininity”. Lmao.

[ABWH Truth @ABWHTruth]

[Mattie (they/she), slut power @mattps139]

[Danielle Maya Banks @WriterOfThings_]

@Moneitria But also what better way to “stand up for yourself” other than literally protesting lmao?

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

https://t.co/uETiFRx95x, citing unidentified sources connected to the production, said the gun handed to Alec Baldwin had been used by crew members during breaks for target practice, which would explain why it was loaded with real bullets. https://t.co/4uT4DLjuD3

[Laurencia ✨🦋 @laurenciafaith]

Before I knew it was Meg. I use to help her transfer her credits to TSU every semester in the bell building! Sis use to walk in saying “friend” like that was the magic word, but it was ! She was just so positive& friendly, I had to help her. I’m so proud! You did it @theestallion
