we really need to re-normalize scepticism of religion in left-wing spaces.

[shredded Denim @denimneverdies]

Thousands of years of theology has not produced even one good reason to believe in any of it, and yet these beliefs are the basis of laws, oppression, repression, murder, rape, and genocide. It's a sickening farce and it should break your heart that so many suffer for nothing

[isus @isusk7990]

You can’t “white people” your way out of admitting that it’s a regressive religion, sorry. Try again

"trans women need to shut up about traits that make them dysphoric because those traits are desirable to me"

When my dad was in boot camp two teenage boys tried to kill themselves by drinking bleach and were caught. That’s how bad the treatment was and guess what happened? They were paraded around and made fun of for being weak before being discharged with zero counseling for the trauma they experienced.

When my mom was in boot camp a girl literally had a mental breakdown over the verbal abuse and tried to hop the fucking fence on the base to escape in the middle of the night with nothing other than the clothes on her back. They were never told what happened to her other than she was caught.

Being verbally abused 24/7 doesn’t make you strong. It makes you numb and traumatized. There’s a reason why so many vets end up alcoholics and drug addicts. They go through so much trauma and a lot of it happens before they’re ever even deployed. Not sure what’s it’s like now but back then mental health access was not a big thing in the military nor was it encouraged. If you were struggling with mental health then you were seen as weak and unworthy of serving.

It’s an incredibly fucked up system and in my opinion it is barbaric recruiting teenagers to go through that. Your brain is still developing at that age and it definitely isn’t capable of properly processing the intensity of the military.

Can’t recommend Full Metal Jacket enough if you want to understand what it’s truly like for teens entering the military. There are consequences to grooming children into becoming killers with emotional suppression. They either go on to hurt others or they end up hurting themselves. Either way, the ones responsible for making them that way never face any consequences.

even if you don't believe in prison abolition, the question must be asked, what purpose do they serve? if it is to rehabilitate, they've proven remarkably bad at their jobs. if it is to punish, they still do a pretty lousy job at that.

Probably one of the worst ways you could start your adulthood is by completely withdrawing from your education, career, and social life to go run around a lobotomization camp and get degraded by emotionally stunted grown men for 2 years

[Dingus It 💛🔻 @ColdCase143]

the reason she mistook it as being abt trans women is bc the girl in the image has wider shoulders and isnt skinny like the “ideal” girl on the left. This is because TERFs believe in the same misogynistic stereotypes and ideals about women that the patriarchy pushes.

[Fulton County Pedestrian @CandiedGender]

I still remember being in high school (a few years before Obergefell) and a student was saying gay people should have a thing that’s like marriage but called something different and my classmate just shouted “separate but equal?!” and the whole class got real quiet

[SXR123 (Dave) @SXR123]

Wuh oh.

They're trying it again. Quietly this time.

[Arctic @neco_arctic]

Implying trans women are "privileged" because we can detransition into men is like implying gay people are privileged because they can just pretend not to be gay. Like you realize we're here because prerending to be normal makes us want to die

[Aisling @burnthelilacs]

appeals to queer history are a thought terminating cliché

[Lily ¨̮ @L1ly0fth3v4l3y]

I don’t think we talk enough about how much transmisogyny specifically targets trans lesbians. just look at the replies.

[R @rjb_1998]

People obviously doing the trans panic angle here but if you just say "women" instead of "people who menstruate" that implies someone who went through the menopause a decade ago would also be eligible, you stupid fucking loser

[Gay Disco @GayDisco69]

I think religious progressives gotta understand the queer atheist view on religion. Why should I hope for you to transform religions that serve as the main vehicle for queerphobia in our society into something progressive when we could just get people to become atheists instead?

[Mia Moore @StopTweetingMia]

It crazy how often people tell me they can't cast me in their project because they don't have a role for a trans woman.

Do you have a role in your movie for a woman? Then you have a role for a trans woman.

A short while ago “spoons theory” discourse was common online, now understanding of mental health issues has regressed to “Being disabled means you can never do something, if you can do it once then you’re not disabled”
