Waiting literally a year for your epic revenge is the most teenage girl move ever.

i honestly believe human beings are not meant to live like this. we are meant to live in loving communities and be around nature every day and grow our own food and create art and not work day and night until we die. this longing for another life is not human nature, it’s a symptom of modern society.

Black Lives Matter is held to such a ridiculously high standard. If anyone who is REMOTELY associated with BLM commits an act of violence, white people use it as an excuse to smear the name of the entire movement.

Cops can murder unarmed Black people and many white folks still jump to defend the police force.

This is racism. This is white supremacy culture.

“It’s time y’all. It’s time.”

We have not forgotten you, Sandra. 😔 Continue to rest in infinite power. 

“Somebody come get her, she’s dancin’ like a stripper"

one of my father’s hindu colleagues was surprised that my family didn’t make everyone say a christian prayer before we sat down to eat dinner. we were like “….this is your house.” and she laughed and said that her christian friends “make” her pray all the time. like what the fuck. how fucking rude can you be to make the host pray to your god. you are in their fucking house.

I say this as a former Christian

Christians will deadass claim to be oppressed but feel comfortable and safe enough to:

In short, Christian Supremacy needs to be addressed and religious imperialism stopped.

Hi. I’m a Christain and...I actually agree with you. You’re right, Christianity is deeply problematic and anyone who’s a Christian and tells you it isn’t is lying like a MF. Listen, my daddy’s a preacher, my Grandaddy (god rest his soul) was a preacher, my brother is a deacon, and my mama has a whole ass degree in Christian education, but I will ALWAYS critique the problems of Christianity, especially in regards to race, gender, and sexuality.

Also, I think the idea of proselytizing (it’s called ‘witnessing’ where I’m from) is gross. I think opportunities to talk about God and religion should be an organic and mutual. Also, I don’t blame people for thinking Christianity is weird and strange. I mean honestly, I still find the idea of Christ to be hard to fathom most days. I think the idea is beautiful and brings me comfort along with the idea that there’s more to life after we die, but that doesn’t mean I’m 100% sold on it.

Christianity is gross and extremely steeped in colonialism, racism, sexism, and homophobia.

Most days I think God regrets making humans in general...

Inclusivity is refusing to call black women ‘women’

Fucking hell.

‘Black nonmen (who made up 66% of the legal abortion recipients in Georgie- the first state to introduce the heartbeat bill) are 243% more likely to die from childbirth in the same care as white women.’

‘Black nonmen … 66% of … abortion recipients … 243% more likely to die from childbirth … as white women.’

‘Black nonmen … more likely to die from childbirth … white women.’

‘Black nonmen … white women.’

Trans-stanning liberals are racist as fuck.

They are so fucking racist to black and brown women, they try to hide it with “”woke”” points but it’s obvious as hell to what they truly think. 

We (white women) apparently have the right here to be called women but our black sisters aren’t given the same respect, I’m so fed up y’all, this is so transparent

im white but i really want to say that i hate the term non men so much (more than bleeders, vagina havers, etc) because it really expose what they think a woman (a black woman specifically) is: she’s just just not a man. she’s not her own person, she’s just “the other one”. Simone de beauvoir was right all along.

Black nonmen?

What the fuck?

do y'all have the highway sign car safety memes in other states or is it a Tennessee thing?

@smittywerbenjaegermannjensen this is what it's been like on the interstate/highways in Tennessee for like eight years now.

I saw one that said "HO, HO ,HO-LD UP. SLOW DOWN YOUR SLEIGH" yesterday 🤣

Look at where you get your information. Make sure it’s reliable. Stop causing more pain to people already in a rough place.

Post reads as follows

I performed an emergency surgery several months ago to treat a ruptured ectopic pregnancy. The patient could have died, but we were able to stabilize her and send her home the same day.

She called my office this week in tears asking why we did not reimplant her pregnancy in her uterus, why did we not offer her this option. Because maybe her baby didn’t have to die.

Pseudoscience is invading my operating room and my relationship with my patients. This poor woman had to have emergency surgery, and then grieved the loss of a pregnancy that was never viable, that could have killed her.

And now she is grieving it again because politicians who lack even the most basic understanding of the physiology of pregnancy are dangling untruths in front of her and calling it fact.

In case anyone reading this is wondering, THIS IS NOT A THING. It is NOT POSSIBLE to reimplant ectopic pregnancies into the uterus. These are NOT viable pregnancies, and all the wishing in the world, the magical thinking, the political grandstanding, will not make it so.

Hi friends. Quick anatomy lesson, complete with fun pictures.

This is the reproductive system in question.

Interesting, right? I’ve been told it looks like a shark.

In viable pregnancies, a fertilized egg (known as a zygote in biology) implants in the wall of the uterus.

As the pregnancy progresses, the zygote grows. Cells undergo mitosis (where the cells replicate) and differentiation (where the cells take on special jobs and become organ systems). At full term, the zygote resembles a baby we know.

The placenta delivers nutrients to the fetus and helps detoxify wastes. From the placenta comes the umbilical cord, which serves a similar purpose. The fetus’ head presses against the cervix, through which it will pass during birth. The part in the circle are the pregnant person’s internal organs! The uterus smooshes them to make room. It’s no wonder they use the restroom so often!

In an ectopic pregnancy, however, the zygote doesn’t implant correctly.

It can implant in a variety of places (including the fallopian tube, pictured) to which it is not suited.

After it implants, it continues to undergo mitosis (which we talked about earlier). Whereas the uterus is equipped to deal with this exponential growth, other parts of the body are not.

As the zygote grows, it puts immense strain on the organ it implanted in. If it continues to grow too long, it can rupture! The zygote will lose blood supply and will quickly die. The pregnant person will begin to bleed internally without proper medical care. Left alone, it can lead to death of the pregnant person.

This diagram is a little complex, but put very simply, because the zygote hasn’t implanted in the right place originally, it cannot be removed and implanted in the correct one. It won’t be able to fuse correctly with the uterus, or to send signals to develop the umbilical cord and placenta we talked about earlier, not to mention that the rupture causes blood to be diverted from the zygote, effectively killing it before it can be implanted.

Not only is it futile, but it’s unsafe for the pregnant person. Ectopic pregnancies cause blood loss, which is exacerbated by further surgical intervention. Exposure to external environments exposes the zygote to infection, and surgical implantation exposes the pregnant person to infection, which could also lead to pregnancy complication or loss.

To make a long story short: you cannot reimplant an ectopic pregnancy. Please stop trying.

Please reblog this from the person above and not from the TERFs that jumped in after. Thanks :)

I just wanna know who’s telling folks you can reimplant a fetus after an ectopic pregnancy?

The thought of that sounds...🤦🏾‍♀️

Like how being gay and trans is a fad

Oh . ..

In before they don’t count because they’re poc

Leave my people (Native Americans) out of you bullshit. Two spirit, 1 was a term invented in the 90s, and 2 is a gender role assigned to anyone who isn’t cishet and gender conforming. So fuck off with your cultural appropriation.

(Not bothering to learn about a culture but using it at a gotcha sounds like racism to me buddy)

1/16 native American doesn’t count

Sorry sweaty, I’m 50% Wyandot Iroquois. Also, for your information a lot of tribes will accept someone whos 1/16 and anyones who educated on the matter gets more say than you.

Glad to know you support racism tho bud

I can’t believed they assumed that you’re not “actually native american uwu” just because you disagree with them

Almost as if they don’t have any real argument 🤔

He just liked this

And? How is that any relevant to any of this

So who’s gonna tell them that Hijras are boys ritualistically castrated in infancy and forced into female gender roles and are considered to be probably the lowest caste in India?

Who is going to tell them that op said non-binary isnt real and they answer putting gay and trans people like example?

Gay doesnt mean non-binary.

Trans doesnt mean non-binary.

@jewishmagpie you were the one with the meta post about all the names in other cultures that refered to gay and trans people and that tumblr treated like non-binary even when they werent?

Hijra is literally just code for eunuch or MTF trans stop using them as an example PLEASE. 

@ysr715

hijra:

this identity is reserved solely for biological males or intersex individuals. biological females cannot be hijra. it was created to forcibly other feminine men and intersex people. to say, “you are not real men because you are feminine or because you have an intersex disorder.” they’re also often forced into poverty and prostitution and are murdered at high rates. many of them are gay men. my friend taught german to a gay man who fled from pakistan to avoid becoming hijra or being murdered. contrary to popular belief, pakistan doesn’t support genuine trans people ( you know, the people with sex dysphoria who want to transition from one sex to another ).

while hijras are simultaneously celebrated and ridiculed for being gender non-conforming, trans people who want to physically transition and who do not identify as khawaja sira are rejected. it’s especially difficult for trans men because they’re biologically female and pakistan is a patriarchal society.

two spirit:

two spirit was almost exclusively reserved for men. it was a third gender they could elect to participate in ( granted, it stripped them of their male title

bugis:

makkunrai and oroané are straight, gender-conforming, cisgender women and men. bissu are gender non-conforming ( androgynous ) individuals or intersex individuals. calabai are gay, feminine men or trans women. calalai are gay, masculine women or trans men. 

do you see the problem here? this is a society that forcibly assigns gender non-conforming, gay, intersex, and trans people another label. imagine being a trans woman and being referred to as a “false woman.” imagine being a gay man and being referred to as a “false woman.” imagine being a trans man and being referred to as a “false man.” imagine being a lesbian and being referred to as a “false man.” lmao isn’t it just so cool that lesbians and trans men have to share the same label? that gay men and trans women have to share the same label? isn’t it cool that if you’re intersex, you’re considered bissu and are automatically viewed as androgynous and can’t just be a man or a woman? isn’t it cool that if you’re a straight gnc calalai, you’re likely forced to take a female partner? or that if you’re a straight gnc calabai, you’re likely forced to take a male partner? because you can’t be gay freely in bugis society. if you like the same sex, you’re automatically no longer considered to be your own sex. 

māhū:

māhū refers to gender non-conforming individuals, trans people, and gay people. once again, another social role used to other anyone who doesn’t satisfactorily conform. 

fa'afafine:

oh, joy. another social role reserved solely for males in which they can express their gender non-conformity ( at the cost of stripping their male title ) while females have no such option. 

anyway, it’s been sociologically demonstrated that “third genders” almost exclusively manifest in cultures where sex-role segregation is most prevalent and harshly policed. i hope you feel like an ass for supporting social roles that forcibly other and ostracize gay people, intersex people, trans people, gnc people, and in some cases disabled people, infertile people, and eunuchs.  

And also leave Mexican muxes out of it.

Muxes only exist in one of over 60 Mexican indigenous groups (the Zapotecs), and they are basically gay men who have taken the “women” role because women are so repressed, muxes are used sexually by the men to “preserve” the actual women and “mantain them chaste and pure”.

This post is absolutely so informative

white people who think they can use other cultures that they don’t understand as a gotcha are some of the worst kind of whites

Also samoan fa'afa isnt a seperate gender either, its just a gender expression to describe gnc men. Yes they are considered spiritual and having an almost godly connection to both genders, but to my understanding they are still men. They usually are male, unsurprisingly.

Nonbinary is so Woque! Here’s multiple examples of GNC and gay men being routinely sexually tortured as punishment for not perfectly filling their culture’s Male sex role stereotype! So progressive!!!

Re-blogging this from myself cause I wanted to add the most important part: before that first pic she acted like she was 100% on board with her granddaughter being gay while her granddaughter was there and I think that’s great. She had misgivings about it based on religion and upbringing but she cared enough about her granddaughter to not be an ass about it to her granddaughter. And all the above is after she’s out of the room. Who you are is not your gut reactions. It’s what you do with them.

i also wanna point out that when she says “god doesn’t make mistakes” she doesn’t say, “so elena can’t possibly be gay” she says it in the context that therefore if elena’s gay then god meant for her to be so i guess he doesn’t have a problem with it

i wish more people said that being single is normal

and you’re not going to meet and marry someone

and that’s fine

and if marriage happens, it happens. and it’s not the next big ticket to check off in life’s checklist

because not everyone meets someone they want to marry. and that’s normal

you’re not broken or unfulfilled if you are single

This needs to be spread

YES! THANK YOU!

Did you know that modern C sections were invented by African women— centuries before they were standard elsewhere?

Midwives and surgeons living around Lake Tanganyika and Lake Victoria perfected the procedure hundreds of years ago. When a baby couldn’t be delivered vaginally, these healers sedated the laboring mother using large amounts of banana wine. They tied the mother to the bed for safety, sterilized a knife using heat, and made the incision, acting quickly as a team to prevent excessive blood loss or the accidental cutting of other organs. The combination of sterile, sharp equipment and sedation made the procedure surprisingly calm and comfortable for the mother.

After the baby was delivered, antiseptic tinctures and salves were used to clean the area and stitches were applied. Women rarely developed infections, shock, or excessive blood loss after a cesarean section and the most common problem reported was that it took longer for the mother’s milk to come in (an issue that was solved with friends and relatives who would nurse the baby instead).

In Uganda, C sections were normally performed by a team of male healers, but in Tanzania and DRC, they were typically done by female midwives.

The majority of women and babies survived this, and when questioned about it by European colonists in the mid-1800s, many people in Uganda and Tanzania indicated that the procedure had been performed routinely since time immemorial.

This was at a time when Europeans had only barely started to figure out that they should wash their hands before performing surgery, when nearly half of European and US women died in childbirth, and when nearly 100% of European women died if a C section was performed.

Detailed explanations of Ugandan C-sections were published globally in scholarly journals by the 1880s and helped the rest of the world learn how to save mothers and babies with minimal complications.

So if you’re one of the people who wouldn’t be alive today without a C-section, you have Ugandan surgeons and Tanzanian and Congolese midwives to thank for their contributions to medical science.

I’d also like to add, that a lot of things known about Obstetrics and Gynecology in America is thanks to the UNWILLING Black female slaves whose bodies were cut open and studied.

Anon centering lesbiansim around men in a harassing message to a lesbian gives away the fact that they aren’t an actual lesbian.

C’mon now. Do better things with your time anon than being misogynisticly homophobic online. Make the world a better place, you can do it.

You know the person who wrote is some sad man in terrible woman cosplay.

I got lost after reading
