Remember this viral post? Wanda and Jamal and her husband Lonnie are the most wholesome people, this story brought tears to my eyes originally and I am crying once more learning from Jamalâs social media that Lonnie has sadly passed away.
Rest in Peace, Lonnie :(
Whenever I lose faith in humanity, I remember these four lovely folks and feel a little better đ„ș
giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.
I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.
How is it that in this entire post you didn’t say the word “woman” once? Only one sex gives birth. Only women have these experiences, only women are at risk for everything mentioned here, women are the only people this applies to. Erasing the word enables the problem.
I’m an evil trans man with a big fat pussy and it’s my life’s purpose to erase women by using inclusive language. Everyone I make a post a random woman disappears off the planet. Clean vanishes. They’re renaming all maternity wards labor & delivery wards because of me. The word breastfeeding no longer exists in the dictionary. It’s all chestfeeding now. Many world powers are trying to stop me. They can’t. They’re too slow. I’m always two steps ahead.
it’s always so funny when terfs say shit like this “how dare you say people instead of women? Don’t know you women aren’t people?”
Mdzs is quite hilarious if you look at it from juniors’ pov especially jingyi’s perspective. Going from saying hanguang-jun isn’t a cutsleeve to finding out he infact is very cutsleeve and the person that is supposedly a lunatic gay man is The yiling patriarch, who isn’t actually a villian the people painted him to be but is a hero and now is married to hanguang-jun and all this happened in the span of like a month or few, right in front of you!??!
They just witnessed the most crazy romantic yet tragic gay love story unfold in front of them and learned about the hypocrisy and corruption of the world around them all at the same and in such a short time, it’s crazy.
Isnât ssooo crazy that the âdefender of womenâs rightsâ constantly attaches and harasses women who arenât hyper feminine looking all the time or who otherwise donât fit in to the gender binary
Thatâs sooo willld
Transphobia, Misogyny and Racism all intwined and like the bigot JK is she is once again doing all three.
because this is such an established, unfortunate tropeâtaking POC in fiction and subtly erasing them through fantasy shenanigans (see disney turning so many of their characters of colour into animals for the whole movie, etc etc)âjon and cynthia worked together on elphabaâs costuming and design to unshakably cement her as a WOC. cynthia has said in interviews that the microbraids were an intentional choice so as not to erase who she (and who elphaba) is beneath the green.
cynthia is responsible for that! and jon for giving her the space to do so!!! it rocks!!!
