[ image description is tweet by shailija Patel that says, “imperial feminists love girls in Muslim countries who want to go to school. But were silent when the US bombed Baghdad’s National Library, burning every PhD dissertation ever written by an Iraqi woman.” ]
These posts matched each other so perfectly I thought they were the same post at first
[image description: a screenshot of op’s dashboard showing two posts. First a text post by windsroad that reads, “why do people in dnd each occupy a 5ft by 5ft square, how far apart do you think people need to be? why are dnd minis afraid of touching”
Below that is a quote (source: buckykingofmemes) that says, “those are bold words for someone in stabbing range” /end image description]
KIRK WORRYING THAT HE OBJECTIFIES WOMEN. PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT AND REALLY SOAK THIS IN.
[Image description: The first image is a two-panel Star Trek comic where Kirk asks Bones, “Bones… do you think I like women?” In the second panel, Bones reacts to this by coughing and spilling his drink all over himself.
In the second image, Bones asks Kirk to clarify his question, asking, “As… uh… As opposed to what?” Kirk replies, saying, “As opposed to feeling threatened by them. I mean, do you think I’m someone who feels uncomfortable being subordinate to, or on par with, a woman? Am I someone who relegates each woman I meet – especially the good-looking ones – to the status of either ‘I want her’ or ‘I don’t want her’?”]

I saw a post by @adhdmoi about sensory overload and realized it was relatable for anxiety, autism, and ADHD. so i made a meme.
[id= a picture of three arms with their hands held together in the center. One arm is labelled “ADHD” another is labelled “Anxiety Disorder” and the third is labelled “Autism Spectrum Disorder”. Where the three hands are held together there is a cropped screenshot of a post by adhdmoi that says “hhhhhhhhhhhh TOO LOUD” /end id]
I don’t know if this is weird or not, but I totes read Mulan as a trans woman! I tend to read all “women who pretend to be men” stories as very similar to my experience. In contrast, I’ve never imagined that a character presented to the audience as male was actually a trans woman.
Is my way much rarer?
In any event, I think we can all love Mulan!
[Image description: 1. A photo of two clasped hands. One arm is labeled “lesbians” and the other “trans men”. Their joined hands are labeled “loving mulan”
2. A photo of three joined hands, each one holding the wrist to their right. The hands are labeled “lesbians” “trans men” and “bi ppl who stan sheng”. The space in the middle is labeled “loving mulan”.
3. A pixilated stick photo of four hands clasped in a circle with the words superimposed on top: “ all LGBT people interpreting mulan’s undoubtably LGBT identity differently depending on their own experience, and subsequently loving Mulan because of our overlap of experience as LGBT people” End description.]
