Are you only gentle with what you think is beautiful?

veganism is not inherently a morally superior position. the vegetables and fruits you consume are also harvested via immense cruelty & exploitation, not to even mention indigenous practices or food deserts. if you care about animals, the position to take is anti-capitalism.

“I call you ‘comrades’ rather than ‘brothers and sisters’ because if we are brothers and sisters it’s not from choice, it’s no commitment; but if you are my comrade, I am your comrade too, and that’s a commitment and a responsibility.” ~Amilcar Cabral

feminism that excludes marginalised class is not feminism. for the lack of a better word, it is as much of a cult.

[Nida. @themeowist]

yes this thread was written in the light of recent events and discourse but i want to add one last thing. this dynamic reveals how caste, class & patriarchy are mutually reinforcing structures embedded within broader relations or structures of power. (8/n)

[Nida. @themeowist]

the "mic" (literally and metaphorically) in feminist circles has historically been held by savarna women who have exercised disproportionate control over which voices are amplified, validated or silenced. inclusion within existing structures will always be hierarchical (6/n)

[Nida. @themeowist]

criticisms or judgments that savarna women usually direct towards dalit, bahujan, muslim and other marginalised women being treated as jealousy is reductive. it is social bigotry structured by caste, class, communal hierarchies. (1/n)

Very bad news. If trans bill becomes a law, trans men, nonbinary persons and trans women who are not kinner-hijra, will not be legally recognised as trans. Only intersex and kinner-hijra persons will be recognised and that too after medical inspection. Additionally …

The Transgender (Protection of Rights) Amendment Bill (Bill No.79 of 2026) is set for consideration and passing tomorrow in the Upper House, Rajya Sabha.

[Yes, We Exist 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 @YesWeExistIndia]

The Transgender Rights Amendment Bill 2026 was passed in the Lok Sabha despite opposition demand to send the Bill to a select committee for further scrutiny.

[terimummy 🌈🇵🇸💙 @gayayayyaya]

This Bill will criminalise NGOs, Doctors & gharanas who help trans people: Indian Express
