The US banned Hawaiian language, overthrew our country, let us die in Maui fires, devastated our universal healthcare, & illegally occupies Hawaii to this day. My mother's hands were broken for speaking Hawaiian in school. The US is not a beacon, but the destroyer of independence
Reports suggest 93 people are dead, 1000 people missing still, and 2700 structures destroyed. To consider this an economic opportunity to acquire land for development & profit is beyond the pale. The colonial speculation of disaster capitalism is happening right now in Lāhainā.
people who I think should have been invited to early screenings of Barbie:
-girls who got dress coded a lot in high school
-anyone who has or has had pink hair
-anyone with a small dog
-makeup artists
-anyone overdue on an oil change
some ppl don't get this. a lot of women were convinced they should hate pink bc of all the misogynist stigma associated with it so its nice to see pink become popular again & to wear it without fear of seeming dumb or childish or not being taken seriously all because of a color
I want people who call themselves feminists to know that the feminist movement was built on the backs of sex workers. Our language, research & fights against SGBV, SRHR, right to work etc all stem from sex workers who started these fights. There is no feminism without sex workers
The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.
The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.
"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.
However...
Let's address that 0.3%.
Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:
👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.
Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.
The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.
Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.
