@few2048@deeprossed You might be the emotional one here bud but that’s okay, I do crime stat analysis and there hasn’t really been much of a shift over the past 10 years, my main concern is that the party that’s screaming we need to help women, is the one seeking to strip our rights
@few2048@deeprossed Irrational and emotional when it comes to voting…? Look at all the old men in power today wreaking havoc because they had their feelings hurt. Genuinely listen to the concerns of women before you make assumptions for us dipshit, at least we read
@GretaThornberry@itsnwts Okay then make sure to pay us for OUR emotional labour, maybe that might flatten the pay gap, don’t make your insecurity everyone else’s problem Jesus Christ
I think the hardest part of the current political climate is realizing how many people are actually just evil.
Not misinformed or uneducated... just openly and happily enjoying other people's suffering.
She would've been 19 today.
Make no mistake, it was a brutal hate crime that took her from us; a premeditated murder motivated by transphobia still widespread in our societies today.
Rest in peace, Brianna Ghey.

I genuinely cannot understand how generation above me ended up here. We grew up idolising David Bowie and through him discovered Lou Reed and Iggy Pop. We lived through punk and post punk smashing gender norms in public. We watched Prince blur masculinity and desire. We danced to Boy George. We worshipped Grace Jones. Then came the flamboyance of the eighties where androgyny excess and self invention were celebrated. Gender bending was not a threat. It was art. It was freedom. It was cool.
So how did the same generation become so hostile to people simply existing outside rigid boxes. How did we go from celebrating difference to fearing it. This backlash does not come from culture or history. It comes from forgetting who we were and what we stood for. None of this is new. Get over it.

It's important to remind people of the true meaning of Christmas: ghosts terrorising rich people in the middle of the night until they agree to pay their employees more.
