the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
i wish my partner was here rn. long distance relationships aren’t for the weak.
i need her here. everything i do could be better if she was here
listening to “disease” by lady gaga and all i can think about is jekyll, utterson and hyde.😞
it's crazy how you can write one of the most popular and influential novels of all time that gets constantly referenced across pop culture and gets adapted 10000 times, and still not a single one of those film versions will be good or even come close to understanding your source material
[ID: Three images of the Sigmund Freud statue at Clark University with queer and immigrant activist information plastered all over it. A trans and queer flag are draped over its shoulders, with a list of violent prejudiced hate crimes extending from its book to the floor. On its chest, various news articles describing forced deportations are taped onto it, with the words “Am I Next?” painted atop them in red. Below its feet, a poster with the phrase “How many lives will HATE kill” is positioned. Next to it is a portrait of a trans person with top surgery scars, and various articles taped beneath them. End ID.]
today, this is how clark students decorated the statue in the center of campus. if this message isn’t heard, what will it take for them to listen?
Shout out to anyone involved in putting this together! A strong message that sadly becomes more and more relevant every day.
It's not just erasure of queer characters. It's disrespect of Wilde's memory in the worst way. Oscar Wilde went to JAIL for being gay and his book was used as evidence against him. This was his only novel and they censored it to make it less queer even back then.
This is a crime.
Anyway boycott the modern adaptation of Dorian Gray.
thinking about louis' assertion that "for claudia, all humans died with charlie" motherfucker???? you think they were ever alive to her??? honey the switch after charlie's death wasn't in her outlook on humans, it was in her outlook on YOU. his death doesn't make her more cruel to humans, it shows her that there is no fucking escape from HER OWN HOME. what claudia truly learns that night is that her body is a prison that won't let her find anyone who understands and sees her for who she is, one of her parents is unwilling to sympathize with her, the other is unwilling to help her, and they are ALL SHE HAS. THOSE TWO ARE ALL SHE HAS. SHE CAN'T FIND ANYONE ELSE. NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER UNDERSTAND HER. her world is a cage her home is a cage and her body is a cage and her jailers are both selfish, self-centered and blind.
Look, the concept of the Giffin and Whybourne-series is pretty nice, gay nerd and gay detective solve mysteries in 1800-something USA, but I’m a few chapters in and Griffin is an abomination of over- embellishment already:
His eyes are, I am not kidding, described as green with flecks of blue and brown in them, added to his ‘tousled, slightly too long hair’, his thick eyelashes and plump lips and his broad shouldered handsomeness, I mean, Jesus.
I know Whybourne canonically really needs a wank, but I’m already exhausted by the embellishments and I’m five chapters in.
I suppose I wasn’t promised it would be good, just gay *shrugs*.
