It's wiiild to me that transphobes try and take the "irreversible surgery they might later regret" road, but didn't blink an eye seeking unnecessary cosmetic surgery on their son's genitals within the first few days of his life.

People should be in charge of their own bodies, full stop.

Trans Day of Visibility is a great day to practice introducing yourself using pronouns. ππ€π
*Reminder that using the singular they is already a common part of our language,"Someone left their keys!" etc. so fussing about it is just a tell.

Someone get ahold of her, there's a list that needs looking over....
A Brazilian mother was acquitted of murder after she cut off the genitals and burned the body of her bf when she caught him trying to rape her 11 year old and we absolutely love to hear it. π

βThey got money for wars, but canβt feed the poor.β β Tupac said it years agoβ¦ and here we are.
The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war.
We always find the money for war.
But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly itβs crickets.
If you can accept celebrities like Shawn Carter/JaΓΏ-Z changing their names for whatever (*cough*namesinthefiles*cough*) reason, then you can accept trans people changing theirs for life-affirming ones.

11 years ago this week, cancer stole Jeff Rusch from the world. He was a wonderful husband and father, loved by so many. In his honor, on Feb 21 Iβm going to skate the Lake Placid Olympic oval to raise money for cancer research.

I had tickets to see you and Amanda that night, and my father was treated for cancer at UCSF, too. It's not the same, but I still have a clue and I know no matter how it's been, they're always deeply missed. β€οΈβπ©Ή

BERNIE SANDERS: Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I do not believe that the measles vaccine causes autism
SANDERS: Nah. Uh uh. I didn't ask measles. Do vaccines cause autism?
BHATTACHARYA: I have not seen a study that suggests any single vaccine causes autism

Maintaining boundaries, especially with children, does not have to be harsh- having a stone wall is better for them to touch than an electric fence, especially if we want them to trust that it is/we are a safe, healthy place for them to lean on in troubled times. 2/2
Gentle parenting doesn't mean permissive parenting- and those that equate the two often equate the polar opposite as being harsh with being loving and should probably sit with that. 1/2
