Holy shit, how did you not die from stomach ulcers?

pork

🤢🤮

Why do some men think that is an acceptable term for sex? It's so degrading. Or is that the point, to compare sex to fucking a piece of meat?

Experimental evidence is accumulating, they say, that by improving soil health, crops can be made more resilient to drought and extreme weather

... no shit.

Think about all that carbon going up into the atmosphere. Tipping points go brrrr

Fresh water reserves will be 30% OVER capacity by 2030 and 90% of top soil is at tisk of erosion by 2050

Oh and if that's not enough for you, these ice sheets are experiencing 'tipping point like behaviour' and you know what will happen when the planet has a few more years as hot as 2023 and more of those ice sheets experience a bit more of that 'tipping point like behaviour'? That's called the Blue Ocean Event. Feel free to look the BOE up with as many of your own sources as you like, the blog page I linked just has a good explanation and diagrams, it's faaaaar from the only source. It's also called the Clathrate gun hypothesis if Wikipedia is more your jam.

And what with 2024 having been another record breakingly hot year, and no reprieve in sight due carbon emissions still increasing, causing more natural disasters due to climate collapse, and not to mention the crop failure getting worse year on year and fuck, if I didn't have shit to do this evening I could go on all night adding to this list.

So not gonna lie but I think we're pretty fucked for 'how mamy people can the earth handle'. Billions of people are going to die this century.

I get you. Sorry for being terse.

If ovulating folk in 'western' countries are to adopt 4b, you are right, we do need to update it to fit our understanding of feminism for it to be politically viable as a movement here.

Trans men need to be included as ovulating folk at risk of pregnancy and trans women need to be included as women who are not at risk of pregnancy. (The pre-op rant you basically covered so I'm not going to rewrite again it in my own words.)

I think this about covers the updating tbh:

1: Don't fuck Conservatives.

2: Don't have relationships with Conservatives.

3: Don't have relationships or encounters where PiV sex could impregnate you.

4: Spousal rape happens more often than you think, so just don't be in a relationship where pregnancy is possible.

5: Don't reproduce.

6: Don't be a bigot.


3 and 4 could probably do with more eloquent wording as they could potentially be misconstrued in bigoty ways, but I think that about covers it.

Then again, I'm not someone who has an easy time understanding what needs to be communicated to get a point across efficiently for most people to be able to understand it, so this really is basically just another rant on the internet at this point. And not to mention I'm waaay too autistic and traumatised to be political active beyond this anymore, idk, hopefully others are coming to the same conclusions and can spread the word I suppose.

I think you're seeing bigotry where there was none intended. I was trying to make my language as clear as possible and obviously failed.

Honestly, talking isn't my strong suit, nor is trying to explain things to people looking to fault me at every turn.

I could try and explain my point to you again about avoiding the possibility of pregnancy if your life is quite literally on the line, but I doubt it will change anything about how you read me.

For what it's worth, I am a queer afab who has had more than a few close relationships, and plenty of friendships, with both trans women and trans men, and have been an ally since I got into feminism as a young teen.

Turns out it was Death Grips.

Is this sort of thing what you normally talk to your therapist about? Must be nice to have so few troubles.

I'm not saying trans rights are unrelated to feminism.

I'm saying that transphobic rhetoric has been shoehorned into this cause and has nothing to do with abstaining from PiV sex for the safety and respect of ovulating people.

Also you may not be aware of how conservative South Korea is. There probably are more than a few transphobic 4b South Koreans as feminism as a movement is still newer there.

In 'western' countries, radical feminism (with all its flaws) was an integral part of the cultural/philosophical journey into the 3rd wave and intersectional feminism as we know it today.

It would be really nice if the gender critical terf bullshit could be skipped when other cultures journey into exploring feminism, but as conservative culture by definition has such deeply ingrained bigotry towards minorities, it might sadly just be inevitable.

I think it might be a bit like antinatalism, where a lot of people simply haven't heard of it (or have heard stupid shit about it and discounted it), but have come to the same conclusions independently and just haven't felt the need to seek out likeminded comunities or be vocal about it to others.

If your country is banning abortion and restricting contraceptives, it's not transphobic to avoid sex and intimate relationships with folk who could impregnate you.

Please just take a moment to think it through.

If you like somebody with opposed genitalia to yours and your country has banned abortion and restricted contraception- it is really not respectful (or sane!) to put one of your lives on the line for PiV sex with them.

And just so we are completely clear about this: Trans men are men and trans women are women. Everyone should get to decide for themselves who they do and do not sleep with, and they should respect their potential partners wishes either way.
