the gentrification of the weird girl
this is basically a short horror film
85% of survivors of prostitution report being victims of incest as children, 90% were physically abused, and 98% were emotionally abused.
“Incest is boot camp. Incest is where you send the girl to learn how to do it. So you don't, obviously, have to send her anywhere, she's already there and she's got nowhere else to go. She's trained. And the training is specific and it is important: not to have any real boundaries to her own body; to know that she's valued only for sex; to learn about men what the offender, the sex offender, is teaching her. But even that is not enough, because then she runs away and she is out on the streets and homeless. For most women, some version of all these kinds of destitution needs to occur,
I have thought a lot in the last couple of years about the meaning of homelessness for women. I think that it is, in a literal sense, a pre- condition, along with incest and poverty in the United States, to create a population of women who can be prostituted. But it has a wider meaning, too. Think about where any woman really has a home.
No child is safe in a society in which one out of three girls is going to be sexually abused before she is eighteen. No wife is safe in a society in which recent figures appear to say that one out of two married women has been or is being beaten. We are the homemakers; we make these homes but we have no right to them.”

You’re very, very highly regarded.
“You will never be a woman” lmao it’s nice to be affirmed as a trans man. Transphobia failed successfully
could you even imagine the first time males mansplained creation to women… “actually, we are NOT here because of an endless chain of mothers like you giving birth going back eons in time. uhhhhh no … not at all. it really started when my bro this all powerful dude who lives in the sky made the first man and then a dumb woman who was TOTALLY inferior to him. yeah it’s surprising but legit. the wind told me when i was jerking off down by the river. i can’t prove any of this but if you don’t believe me i’ll kill you”
If you identify as female, why are you taking the perspective of a male?
It's so upsetting to see post after post about girls and women being unhappy with their appearances, mostly after facing judgement.
I'd like to remind you that your physical beauty, your appearance, is the least interesting, most boring thing about you.
How is your appearance going to help you get good grades? It won't, your knowledge will.
How is your appearance going to save the life of the victim of drowning? It won't, your knowledge will.
How is your appearance going to keep the conversation going? It won't. Your knowledge, interests, and personality will.
Saying you don't like yourself because your ugly is like saying you hate your birthday present because it got wrapped in ugly wrapping paper. It's on the inside that counts, that actually matters.
It's more than okay to be "ugly" or what society deems unattractive. Beauty is subjective anyway. You'll never win if you tried.
Are you like, stupid?
I never blocked you. Are you hallucinating?

If you want to know why we live in a rape culture, it's because men believe that rape is just sex a woman wasn't crazy about.
