Because it’s important for women to have a word that means female humans so that we can be protected in law and policy. We are biologically different from men, and we have different needs. If there is no word for us, then there is no way to address these needs, or to create laws which protect our rights.
I think you need to ask yourself why it matters so much to you that there should be no words that mean “female human beings.” When you take our words, you silence us – and I think that’s your goal.
In Texas, despite the propaganda, you pay more in taxes, you have less free income, gun related deaths are higher, maternal mortality rates are higher, food insecurity is higher, and you can't even legally have a weed gummy. All of that pew pew freedom just to live a worse life
"You may have just been given a sentence of 35 years behind bars. You can consider yourself lucky because I've been sentenced to a lifetime without my son,' Austin Metcalf's mother speaks directly to Karmelo Anthony during the victim impact statements.
For the record, Karmelo Anthony does NOT have an all white jury. Please stop spreading false information. I have been following this case since the very beginning. I was in the courtroom. I’ve seen his jury face to face.
My dad owns his own business and works long hot hours in the sun every single day and he still played with me and my 3 sisters Every. Single. Day. And not tea sets & princess playing, he was throwing us off the beds, running laps around the house, the man never stops!!
I have zero tolerance for dads who show up on vacation, immediately crack and cold one, and then spend hours observing the fun their kids are having from a chair instead of being a part of it.
You can choose numbness or you can choose to make memories. You don't get the time back.
11 trans people have been murdered in the United Kingdom since 2000. All of them were killed by somebody they knew.
In that timeframe, 20 trans people have committed homicide in the UK, including one stranger killing.
There is no trans genocide.
There isn’t even any real persecution.
When it comes to homicide, trans people are the safest demographic in the western world, and it’s past time that members of that community stop pretending to be the most victimy victims ever to be victimized.
