Me apareció en recuerdos la foto que fue LA FOTO del pride de 2024: un señor portugués abrazando una bandera LGBT.
El señor estaba parado en la puerta de su casa viendo pasar la marcha en Porto, sosteniendo una bandera portuguesa lo cual inicialmente asustó a varios porque agitar la bandera nacional en ese contexto puede ser señal de protesta nacionalista anti-LGBT. La gente en la marcha se detuvo, preocupada por lo que podría pasar. Pero resulta que el señor estaba agitando la bandera portuguesa porque no tenía una bandera arcoíris y quería participar de alguna forma.
Una chica llamada Lily se acercó. El hombre intercambió su bandera portuguesa por la bandera que Lily traía sobre los hombros. Lo que ven en la foto es el momento exacto en que él la recibe y la abraza.
Alguien se sintió visto y parte de algo más grande ese día. Eso es el orgullo: dejar de ser invisibles. 🏳️🌈❤️✨
On va rectifier in mythe, à l'heure actuelle l'AAH est de 1041€. Vous trouvez ça "beaucoup" car c'est + que le RSA et que vous êtes con, mais sachez que le SMIC est à 1443€, le seuil de pauvreté à 1288€.
Une personne avec AAH ne PEUT PAS travailler et doit se contenter de ça.
Men: “Vag!nas are gross, too hairy and smelly. If you want me anywhere near you, you’d better be clean-shaven, a certain shape, and smell artificial. Breasts are only attractive if they’re perky and symmetrical. Cellulite is disgusting. Take care of yourselves. Women who don’t shave or wear makeup are unattractive. So are older women bc they get fat, saggy and wrinkled. No wonder their husbands don’t want to sleep with them anymore.”
At this point, I have to ask: are you even attracted to women? Because it doesn’t sound like you actually like anything about the adult female body, the standard you’re describing sounds more like that of a child or a teenager.
“But women sexualise themselves”… no, men sexualise our existence.
There’s a fetish for the schoolgirl, the teacher, the secretary, the nurse, the nun, the “innocent” girl, the “experienced” woman, the boss, the assistant, the submissive, the dominant, the “barely legal,” the mother, the babysitter, the neighbour, the coworker every version of us gets turned into something sexual.
Covered? There’s a fetish. Modest? There’s a fetish. Uncovered? There’s a fetish. Even discomfort, even vulnerability is sexualised.
The same woman will be sexualised and then shamed for it in the next breath. That contradiction isn’t ours to carry.
Saying women sexualise themselves is just a way to dodge accountability because no matter what we do, you were already going to sexualise us anyway.
Instead of saying "Women slept their way to the top", we should say "Men withhold promotions until they receive sexual favors". Because that is what it really is.
Also: if women could sleep their way to the top, there would be more women in power at the top.
menstrual products cause bodily harm. toothpaste causes dental issues for women because it was designed for men specifically. Male baldness is studied more than endometriosis....They created a male birth control but pulled it when it was linked to cancer, & acne, hairloss, mood swings...yet women have been living with those same risks for decades. This is more than medicine; it's proof of a system that protects men's comfort while ignoring women's pain.
It happened again…
This morning, while waiting for my coffee order, a woman near me grabbed her coffee and, as she passed behind me to leave, remarked, “yer not a woman.”
I get it. I really do.
You see me living openly, thriving, and unapologetically being myself, and it makes you uncomfortable. My existence doesn’t fit your narrow view of the world, so you lash out.
But your words say more about you than they do me. Whether they were said out of fear or uncertainty, or if you're actually just a terrible person, they won’t change me. They won’t stop me from living visibly. They won't stop me from being who I am. They certainly won't stop me from participating in society just as you do.
For years, I hid who I was. I detested the reflection in the mirror and repressed my truth out of fear of being labeled "different."
It was killing me.
The moment I accepted myself, everything changed. I found peace. I found strength. I found joy. I found myself.
So, when you throw that kind of shade, know that I have lived through a hell that your shade hasn't a hope of comparing to. I am still here. I am now thriving.
I offer hope to anyone who has walked a similar path because no amount of cruelty can erase who I am.
Cheers!

Quand les aggresseurs et les forces de l'ordre agissent main dans la main pour la transphobie. Comment peut-on être en sécurité ?
