hot take: hrt, gender therapy and trans surgeries should be free
if cis people don’t have to pay to have a body that doesn’t make them dysphoric, neither should trans people
So by that logic does that mean that I should get anti-depressants and all the other pills for my mental issues for free because the people who don’t suffer from them don’t have to pay to have them?
yes
And does that mean that corrective lenses should also be free, because people with good vision don’t need to pay to see clearly, and that devices to aid in mobility for people with limited mobility (from crutches to (practical) canes to wheelchairs to prosthetics) should also be free, because people who don’t have limited mobility don’t need to pay for them?
yes? why does everyone in the notes keep trying to come up with gotchas lmao everything to do with healthcare should be free
I need to be the hottest person at the grocery store
This perfectly captures my ridiculous inner monologue that revolves around impressing other people in the most oblique ways
If you would report an undocumented immigrant to ICE you would have reported me to the Nazis and I don’t fucking trust you
A note:
I live in a state where you “have to” report anyone you suspect of being undocumented (that wonderful hellhole of Arizona). Now in practice this law has fallen far short, thank goodness. But if you live in such a place and they start enforcing it, here is how you get around it:
Assume everyone who doesn’t speak English is visiting.
Never ask about their job, because if they tell you they work here then you know they’re not visiting. You see them a lot for several weeks or months? Hm. Someone in the family must be ill. That’s terribly tough. They always dress in old, ratty laborers’ clothes? I feel you, my dude, I can’t afford new clothes either, and my dad has the fashion sense of an aardvark, so sometimes it’s not even about “affording” them. They say they’ve been here for years? You must have misunderstood. Spanish isn’t your first language, after all. First and last name? It never came up, or you don’t recall–you meet a lot of people.
And then, if you’re asked: no, you haven’t seen anyone residing illegally in the United States. Just people visiting.Very good very important addition
Are we all crying together on this warm Tuesday night in June
Concept art by Eyvind Earle for Disney’s Sleeping Beauty (1959)
“May has daffodil eyes, tastes of spring water. She is a spring tantrum. Hail ricochets off her bones. Petals form a nest around her heart. She swallows wisps of clouds, stains her fingers with wild berries. Weaves poison ivy through her hair. She never wants to be anything soft or disposable. She has honeyed skin, vanilla mouth. Sugar sweet girl. Broken glass wedged in between fists. Holds her breath, drains the pink from her cheeks. Turns herself blue. Says, I was never built for spring. I am the skeletons in the closet. The ghosts in the basement. I am the outcast, dressed up like a pageantry.”— May Pt. II, Angelea Lowes (via angelealowes)
Spoiler alert: adulthood is 96% of you going “well, I hope this is how it works and I’ll keep doing it till someone yells at me”
and the other 4% is crying
Honestly as a New Adult ™ posts like this is very reassuring. Now I know I’m not an incompetent idiot for not knowing how to Adult since it turns out no one does and adulthood is a myth
