if young women were more able to connect with women older than them, things would be a lot different… i feel like our views as a whole would stand to gain so much more substance and depth. if you surveyed women in their 40s or 50s or 60s i guarantee that a much smaller amount would support porn, bdsm, etc. than women in their 20s. is this “boomerism”? or perhaps do they know something many of us don’t? have they been there? how was being 20 like in the year 1960? 1980? 2000? have you had these discussions with the women in your life, heard their stories of catcalls and assault and objectification and the decisions we make in order to placate men? have you dug in deep, shared your own grief and rage? we’re stifled because it’s not exactly easy to just conjure up these deep conversations but i really think it’s vital for all women to seek out and value the opinions and experiences of those older than us. i’m very lucky that my mom is super open and i’m able to have these frank discussions with her, about patriarchy and the like; i wish everyone could have someone like that. listening to her experiences (over the course of my life but especially now as i reach mid 20s) has brought so much context to my own world. i hope someday soon we can start listening more.

And of course it’s always a good day to venmo, paypal, or cashapp black, indigenous and other POC in your community, or donate to your community mutual aid fund.
america can fight alllll it wants but the first woman to become vice president is black and asian and the child of immigrants from india and jamaica. she is the child of people who have survived slavery and colonialism. she is the alumnus of a university founded by formerly enslaved people and the member of a sorority founded by black women. she is the product of integrated public schools. a child of a diverse city. a child of a single mother. this country is and will be a multiracial democracy and these people will never hold us back. we persist and resist and fight and we will never stop. we shall always overcome
I really would appreciate it if people would stop sending me messages calling me a TERF for detransitioning/my mindset on my own sexuality & gender expression. fact is, for me, living as a trans man for nearly a decade (though I’d argue i never was able to reach the status of “man”, only “boy”, no matter how hard i tried) & the dysphoria that led me to transition, is impossible to totally separate from starting my period, my eating disorder, being increasingly sexualized/catcalled, feeling at odds with the girls in my school (there were Zero out lesbians in 8th grade there!) and the way i wished to be seen, a desperate need to make men hate me less.. etc… And i’m suddenly discouraged from sharing ANY of this bc it seems that everyone assumes i’m diagnosing all trans men/afab nb people as being this way???? But i’m not? I’m talking about MY LIFE it’s a very specific set of circumstances… it’s laughable anybody thinks i’m influential enough to like be a threat to the legitimacy of trans people, simply by acknowledging that for ME PERSONALLY there were complex factors involved and while i don’t think it’s valuable to live in regret of my transition, i don’t find it to be a valid identity for myself.
I’ve gotten 3 messages this week, typed differently enough to suggest they were sent by 3 different people, and like i get the sense that it’s just ppl being sensitive and thinking i’m attacking the trans community. I’m not. please don’t make this about other people; just because everyone’s story isn’t the same as mine, just because you find it insulting when applied to *your* life, does not invalidate my own experience with my body and identity.
If the concept of “reclaiming my womanhood” – MINE specifically – is some kind of “TERF dogwhistle” to anyone, then that is their assumption and not my responsibility.
I have found peace in my body and my mind. don’t trivialize me.
