This is what Türkiye and Morocco are doing to street dogs. I used to think Türkiye was the most civilized country in the world because their citizenry lived well with street animals. But that has changed over the years and they are utterly barbaric. Morocco is doing the same in advance of the World Cup, supposedly to "clean up" their cities.
If you oppose genocide in Gaza, you should oppose this genocide too. This world is too fucking cruel.
My theory on "non-binary" identities:
Some women have extremely low self-esteem, which leads to them being uncomfortable with the idea of femininity. And after all, if women are supposed to be feminine beautiful, but they're not feminine & don't *feel* beautiful, they must not be women.
So they reject womanhood in favor of a more neutral label. "Non-binary." Now they don't have to deal with the associations or expectations of being a woman OR a man.
As someone who has struggled with self-esteem and body image, I understand the thought process and inclinations.
However, being a woman or man isn't something you feel or perform. It's just what you are. Putting on a suit doesn't make you a different gender.
I feel for people like Bella Ramsey, but the truth is young women not being comfortable in their own skin is nothing new or revolutionary.
