Happy thoughts for today - Sometimes when I offhandedly mention something gender related to mrs pony a few hours or a day later she'll send me a meme or comic about enby or bi stuff and it just totally makes me melt inside.

Parents said that if I continued standing up to my mother's emotional abuse, they would kick me out. The first time for one day, then for three to five days, etc.

So after contacting a friend they helped me fill out a form to an lgbt advocacy group -- and holy poo poo. Filling out the risk assessment meant dredging up a lot of lovely things I had blocked out, helped me validate the whole idea of getting help with benefits, submitting to the Welsh GIC, maybe moving out.

It feels like the unobtainable goal of moving out is suddenly much closer, although I'm scared by how unprepared I feel/am.

I've had to have bloodwork taken every year as long as I can remember. I can stand tentatively looking at it now but I can't watch the needle go in at all.

only advice i can give on the moving out is to make sure you know where all your important poo poo is and to make sure it isn't with your parents

the day i finally moved out (into an apartment we were originally moving into a week later, but, well,) my mother decided to dump everything i owned onto her front porch. that was a fun night.

you can do it.

cw: heritage foundation, terfs and the usual terfy bullshit that goes along with them

prolly already seen this poo poo but if not, heritage foundation has produced a fun new style guide for ruining your day

https://twitter.com/LisaTMullin/status/1344571301277564928

https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f232ea74d8342386a7ebc52/t/5feca1b5ff4ef250d3f33570/1609343414215/Media+Style+Guide.pdf

once you get past the initial disgust it's kinda a hoot to read since they can't hide their heritage foundation seething loathing for women long enough to convincingly come off even as a misguided feminist organization.

stuff i've lol'd at so far:

- they define "male and female" as biological sex and "woman and man" as gender, then insist you should always use biological sex when talking about people, then like a page later in their examples of how to do that use woman and man.
- oh and you shouldn't do anything like "womxn" or "womyn" that afaik genuine radfems usually are fine with doing because... actually they don't explain that one at all.
- the reason why you should use biological sex always is because being more specific and long-winded about it might endanger women's health, because half of all women don't know what a cervix is (and don't need to know apparently because that's an 'unnecessary learning barrier' ???)
- oh you know how we said to use concise terms like that for biological sex instead of being specific? when talking about sex workers always be specific so we know their sins. so if they're a porn star never say "sex worker" say "online sexual content creator"
- instead of "child pornography" use "filmed commercial sexual exploitation of children" which has a whole lot of implications i do not want to think about right now


quote:

Additionally, The term “intersex” is a misnomer and leads to confusion by implying someone is “between” the sexes. All humans are either male or female (even if they experience a DSD), and the sex of an individual is able to be determined via DNA testing when their sex is ambiguous. Avoid using the term “intersex” when possible to avoid this confusion.

oh boy i have a chimeric intersex friend whose dna will fuckin' blow your mind lmao. she's actually the one who linked me this to begin with :v:

also this just feels hilariously salty:



(i blacked out two much more gross examples)

gonna always refer to them as my "inaccurate pronouns" in my twitter bio now

e: oh man the logical pretzel twisting they had to come up with to find an argument why the word "cisgender" is bad because it hurts conservatives' feelings is amazing:

quote:

“Cisgender”
The term “cisgender” is commonly defined as, “of, relating to, or being a person whose gender identity corresponds with the sex the person had or was identified as having at birth”. Since it depends on the unverifiable and poorly defined term “gender identity,” it is equally inaccurate and useless. Referring to an individual as a “cis woman," “cis man," or as “cisgender” perpetuates the idea that all people have a gender identity (there is no evidence of this) and that anyone who does not consider him or herself transgender identifies with all gender roles prescribed on the basis of sex. There is rarely a need to specify that someone does not identify as transgender; however, if that is the case, simply say so. Otherwise, the term should only be used if quoting a source directly.

all cis people are actually genderless star beings

i should also note that the doc starts with the merriam-webster definitions of a bunch of things, including gender and gender identity, and merriam-webster actually got most of those reasonably right and completely contradicts the entire rest of the document, so great job on that one guys

at the end they link to this whiny equivocating screed as to why they have to work with conservatives because the left is just so mean:

https://www.womensliberationfront.org/news/faq-wolf-work-with-conservatives

quote:

However, we reject the notion that we should be ashamed or should refuse support from people on critical issues just because they are our opponents in other areas. We stand by these choices, we have no time for struggle sessions, and we won’t be cancelled. Rather than continue to denounce and criticize us for making use of available resources, those who are angry should perhaps direct their efforts toward convincing our ideological allies that women and girls are worth fighting for.

I was a lot more scared of all these UK terfs before I came out to a bunch of people this year - most people just say "ah cool, congrats, sorry if I mess up your name a few times" and that's it. Maybe it really is a terminally online minority after all.

I mean mostly but they have scary clout in the media and their rhetoric has a way of filtering down to phobes who don't pretend to be feminist.

And apparently they just knighted one of the worst of them :smith:

yeah some of their propaganda hets through here causing lot of “feminists” to start spewing some poo poo about trans people invading women spaces and all the usual poo poo, of course they are the ones being interviewed by major newspapers and when we are criticizing them they play the victim of “the trans agenda”, while trans and gender nonconforming people are being completely omitted by interviewers, or being asked about their sex life instead of other parts of being this kind of person in this hellhole.
