If I See One More Article, Post, Or News Anchor Talking About How Joe Biden Is Old, I'm Putting My Fist

if i see one more article, post, or news anchor talking about how joe biden is old, i'm putting my fist through a window. i feel like i've gone through the fucking looking glass.

this is project 2025, trump's plan for what he'll do if elected. whatever you think is in there, it's worse. watch a breakdown of the highlights here. this man wants to unravel the fabric of our democracy for good - this all aside from his vitriolic hatred of poc, his determination to start ww3, and the fact that he can't string a sentence together without telling outrageous and easily verifiable lies. his administration will start their crusade to exterminate trans people on day one, and they won't stop there.

do not talk to me about how joe biden is old, as if that could ever matter to me more than my life or the lives of my friends and family. my little sister is 14, she's trans, and i don't know what to tell her when we talk about politics, because one of these people wants her dead and the other one is old and some of you are still acting like those problems are equals.

i can't fucking stand this. i'm not hearing it this time, we are not repeating 2016. refusing to vote is not an act of protest, it is an act of complacency, and our most vulnerable will suffer for your negligence. vote like your life depends on it, because for some of us, it really fucking does.

I believe we aren't going to see substantial progress in the fight against child abuse until we start viewing children as people group. More specifically, until we stop viewing children as a parent's property, and start listening to their voices in the same way we'd listen to any oppressed class.

I'm sick of dancing around the issue, especially in front of parents who get offended when other people "try to tell them how to parent their kids". You know what, I don't want to make friends with people who think it's okay to treat other people as your property, for any reason.

Children aren't legally allowed to own property, even though they can legally earn money at fourteen.

Children who can cognitively process algebra are allowed to be denied healthcare if their guardian disapproves.

In many states, children are allowed to be intentionally hit if it leaves no substantial harm on their body.

It is considered morally neutral to hate children.

Children constantly have their experiences, perspectives, and worldviews tokenized because "they'll understand when they're older"

In many states, children are not even allowed to choose what name they are called by.

And don't give me the "their brains haven't fully developed yet! They could make bad decisions!"

Listen. Adult people with intellectual disabilities can own property. They can still get healthcare if their nurses or assistants deny them healthcare. You're not allowed to spank someone with an ID or slap them if they do something you don't approve of. If they earn money or other assets, it is legally their own. And I think anyone who unironically claims to hate disabled people will be flagged as an ableist.

The fight for disabled rights is far from over. That's not the point I'm making. The point is that it isn't about whether someone's brain is fully developed.

They don't care about the kids. They care about controlling the kids. They view children as their physical possessions.

cis people: *get plastic surgery to look different*

cis people: *get surgery to enlarge their breasts*

cis people: *get surgery to enlarge their ass*

cis people: *get liposuction to make them skinnier*

trans people: hey could i get top surgery so i can be comfortable with my body?

cis people: BUT WHY?! YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE, YOU DON’T NEED TO MUTILATE YOURSELF TO BE HAPPY! this is just a waste of money! You could regret this later on and feel like a stranger in your own body!

multiple identities being a symptom of DID doesn’t mean you need DID to have multiple identities

Hot take.

If people would stop hating on endos and trying to make them seem like a joke, and instead focused on education and sharing the differences between CDDs and other forms of plurality, then people would stop viewing plurality at large as a joke and claiming anything "cringe" is an "endo thing" when it's obviously not (looking at fictives heavy systems). By attacking plurality of any kind, you are damaging your own chances of acceptance and respect by others.

You pick on endos for having a lot of fictives and people turn around and then fakeclaim CDD systems with fictives.

You complain about endos not suffering or dealing with amnesia, and how this is proof they are faking, and guess what happens? People are going to fakeclaim CDD systems who have low amnesia or have reached functional multiplicity.

The list goes on. You are not helping CDD systems or yourselves when you target endos. The targets don't magically only stick to the people you think deserve them. They end up on everyone, including yourselves.
