what are your thoughts on trans people using the bathroom they pass in? personally i would be okay with a passing tw in the womens room because if they look to be female (size, bone structure, mannerisms, etc) it seems like there is a way smaller chance that they have weird intentions and a way higher chance that they just want to pee without being harassed themselves in the mens room. i start being uncomfortable when people that are clearly “male” or “manly” want to come in the womens room when their presence is obviously intimidating. same with a passing trans man, if they look super manly and i thought they were male i would be uncomfortable seeing them in the ladies room.

thoughts?

EFF u on not touching because trans women aside this is EFFing horrible and a great big ole elitist slam against GNC women that don’t have passing privilege!

Wow you’re garbage.

How does someone say they want to abolish gender yet they straight up say they feel uncomfortable going to the bathroom with someone that doesn’t look like the same gender as them according to society???

tag yourself i’m “female bone structure” because fuck anyone who dares to transition as an adult

i’m “trans activists not giving a fuck about female safety”

i’m ‘deciding how dangerous a trans woman is by her size, bone structure and mannerisms’ you disgusting fuck? do u think my bone structure makes me dangerous? am i more dangerous if i don’t shave my legs, what about my looks is possibly making me more or less dangerous?

sorry butch women but the ladies room says ‘you must be this conventionally feminine to enter’ :/

Lakoff argues that the very things career
coaches advise women to cut out of their speech are actually signs of
highly evolved communication. When we use words like so, I guess, like, actually, and I mean,
we are sending signals to the listener to help them figure out what’s
new, what’s important, or what’s funny. We’re connecting with them.
“Rather than being weakeners or signs of fuzziness of mind, as is often
said, they create cohesion and coherence between what speaker and hearer
together need to accomplish — understanding and sharing,” Lakoff says.
“This is the major job of an articulate social species. If women use
these forms more, it is because we are better at being human.”

Language is not always about making an argument or conveying information in the cleanest, simplest way possible. It’s often about building relationships.

A quote from the article “Can We Just Like, Get Over the Way Women Talk?” which is worth reading in full.

Pauline Hanson has used the recent terror attack against London to start the hashtag #Pray4MuslimBan. There’s nothing satirical there. She’s a leach. She’s an opportunistic cruel racist. Her brand of politics is the equivalent of a personified vulture swooping down on the victims of a tragedy to caw out racist tirades. Here’s a suggestion: #Pray4PaulineToFuckOff

I am beyond fucking annoyed that narcissa wright was finally trolled into deleting her twitch account. she was doing so well swimming upstream in a transphobic Boy’s Club subcommunity for so long, and now that girl has no income. one of the most skilled speedrunners on the planet comes out as trans and is chased out of a job, but I can guarantee you that if any bigname cis male streamer was outed as a sex offender tomorrow, thousands would rush to their defense. why is being trans grounds for backlash and punishment and losing everything in almost any scenario? people being antagonistic online just for the sake of hurting another person is something I’ve come to expect and accept as a universal and unchangeable constant but what I’ll never understand is……why?

If Disney wants to make live action remakes of their animated musicals they could do Hunchback of Notre Dame, cut the gargoyles, and actually let the story be as dark as it clearly wanted to be. The could keep the music and just stop trying to make it a family film and it’d be fucking amazing.
