- this is you, using the singular form of ‘they.’ every day. it’s nothing new.”
why do some girls find the word female offensive?
Female isn’t a term that exclusive to humans, it refers to the sex of a species that can produce children so some view it as dehumanising. e.g. if someone says female, female what? female dog? female human? Whereas the term ‘woman’ specifically refers human being. Also, lets not forget that not all women are biologically female and the word reduces a woman to her reproductive abilities, again dehumanising. Besides, whenever you hear people say ‘female’ it’s usually in a negative context so avoid it. If a girl tells you she finds the term offensive, delete it from your vocabulary :)

If someone makes you feel obligated or forced to do something you don’t want to, you may be experiencing coercion. By definition, sexual coercion is “the act of using pressure, alcohol or drugs, or force to have sexual contact with someone against his or her will” and includes “persistent attempts to have sexual contact with someone who has already refused.”
Think of sexual coercion as a spectrum or a range. It can vary from someone verbally egging you on to someone actually forcing you to have contact with them. It can be verbal and emotional, in the form of statements that make you feel pressure, guilt or shame. You can also be made to feel forced through more subtle actions. For example, your partner might:
In a relationship where sexual coercion is occurring, there is a lack of consent, and the coercive partner doesn’t respect the boundaries or wishes of the other.
"For us, it was a small little idea and the idea of it was about creating a character for young girls who might have grown up like myself or like my nieces and my nephews too, who represent a certain minority that is completely misunderstood. So a little of it was about that. but also changing the face of what it looks like to be a hero.”

We were in a difficult encounter where both our healers were knocked unconscious during the fight and the only one that had any skills in healing was our barbarian.
Barbarian: I want to perform a heal check on our healers
DM: You can roll that untrained
Barbarian: *rolls and critically fails*
DM: You wonder why your friends are asleep and punch them in the face to try and wake them up.
AND AUTONOMY. You are always in control of your body, 100%
This needs to be printed out, and placed everywhere among the “fat community”, because it seems to be the one fucking place that gets this idea the least.
